Strange Discoveries: The Art of Denton Welch (till October 30 2025)

As you may well know the English writer and artist Denton Welch was born in Shanghai in 1915 where he spent much of his youth. I’ve talked about Welch’s writings on his Shanghai boyhood before (just put Welch in the search box here on the right), most notably in my collection Destination Peking (Welch once spoke a very interesting Christmas in Peking)….

John Swarbrooke Fine Art in London has a new exhibition on Welch – it runs till October 30. You can, however, see most of the paintings online here…
