A giant of twentieth century art, admired by luminaries such as Kandinsky, Klimt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Tiffany and Bonnard, Brangwyn remains today a figure who has never managed to reclaim the space which for the first half of the twentieth century he largely occupied on the International stage. There are many reasons why Brangwyn remains out of vogue today – he was a maverick and he was prolific and his work refuses to be easily categorized.  Brangwyn’s contribution to the revival of religious art during the interwar years is a subject that deserves reassessment.
