Don't Fuss

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Sick and severely crippled nearly all his life, Edward Burra ignored all attempts to fuss over him, promote his work, or cultivate him as a 'personality'.
George Melly presents a portrait of this eccentric artist with a remarkable talent.
With the voice of Burra himself and contributions from his sister Lady Ann Ritchie ,
Barbara Ker-Seymer , William Chappell , Dr Geoffrey Dove and Bryan Robertson.
Producer JUDITH BUMPUS (R)
(The exhibition 'Edward Burra ' at Leeds City Art Gallery until 12 January 1986)
