Talk by JOHN WRIGHT
Principal of the Newport, Monmouthshire; College of Art
The gnomes stand, sit, swing, fish, read. lie down, work, smile, and play all over Britain. While fake dogs nod on parcel shelves, woolly leopards stretch, plastic flowers deceive, plaster ducks get nowhere up walls, and contrary to any colour bar the green Negress gazes on millions, the friendly gnomes multiply in brighter colours, the real Pop Art, the stately gnomes of England.
