Thrale history

Charles THRALE Exhibition programme 

Charles Thrale’s exhibition of paintings created during his captivity as a Japanese prisoner of war was first displayed in January 1946, in London. After that initial showing, the exhibition toured the UK for approximately eighteen years, continuing until around 1964.

Note.—This sketch is the work of a very sick artist, but it is the final proof of his determination to finish his story. Charles maintained that this sketch is not part of the story, but at our wish he allowed it to be shown with the collection. With this sketch our story must end.

98 to 117.—BITS AND PIECES. Mainly unfinished drawings which illness interrupted—inspiration lost. They are intended to show the various scraps of paper used for all the pictures before they were cleaned and mounted. The malingerer, No. 98, is particularly worth your attention.

118.—Work by Charles Thrale, Portrait Painter. So strange to feel I am back where I left oil—strange to see my Easel again—strange to feel there is a place in which I can create without hindrance. Have I found peace? Have YOU? Aren't we all a part of one Canvas? Will the picture of Peace be complete unless we are all in it?
