- Maggi Hambling talks to Hugo Chapman, Keeper of Prints and Drawings, about her exhibition 'Touch: works on paper' at the British Museum - a retrospective of Hambling's prints and drawings, many of which have never been exhibited before.
Although mainly known for her paintings and sculpture, drawing is at the heart of Hambling’s artistic practice. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to follow Hambling’s development as a graphic artist, from her early student works including her compelling 'portrait' of Rosie, a stuffed rhinoceros, to celebrated prints of the sea and a new climate change drawing completed just last year. A drawing and sculpture celebrate the flamboyant Soho personality and muse, Henrietta Moraes and there are intimate drawings of Hambling's father as he aged and on his deathbed. As Hambling says, 'I'm well known for painting and drawing people long after they're dead... artists are lucky in that they can grieve in a very positive way. I'm trying to make these drawings as alive as possible even though the subject is dead, because they're still alive inside me.'

i love the way she doesn't get too philosophical or high-brow about her work. superb artist.
A real inspiration, i never new anything about Maggi until today, i have been looking at other artists of old to get informed about there art and the different styles they worked in from Degas, Rembrandt, etc and find them all greats, and in the present Maggi is very inspiring bloody hard working, the sea near where i live speaks to me often and i laugh back at it. Maybe i will paint a picture of the sensible soul that roars at me one day, food for though !
Maggi Hambling a inspirational artist to me, a very nice artist,I Was unaware about the artist until this date

@Andrew Pingwin I am not your brother and her art is not trash. You inane and idiotic response is beyond reasonable discourse.
😂
The interviewer has absolutely no sense of humor, stiff as a stick. Lovely works by Maggie.
Next time maybe they’ll use Ricky Gervais.....
Well he is British
