""Art became his antidote to pressure and frustration. An item like this brings us closer to those quiet creative moments away from the world.""
""Quiet Waters is on loan from the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation and represents something of a reciprocal gift.""
""The two-time Prime Minister despised the work-describing it as 'a remarkable example of modern art'-and ordered it to be destroyed.""
Winston Churchill often wore white cotton overalls, custom-made by Savile Row tailors, while painting at his studio in Kent. These overalls symbolize his creative process, serving as an antidote to pressure. The exhibition 'Churchill the Artist' features the painting 'Quiet Waters,' a gift to Lord Beaverbrook, showcasing a dim river scene. This work contrasts with Churchill's other art, reflecting a more impressionist style. The display also includes Churchill's steel-framed spectacles, enhancing the connection to his artistic moments.
