John Craxton designs for Frederick Ashton'sDaphnis and Chloe

I belatedly went on a day trip to Chichester yesterday to see the Pallant House exhibition of the works of John Craxton.  The exhibition finishes on Sunday 21st April - meaning that there is only a week left to see it.  There are some lovely things in the exhibition, including some of the designs and preparatory work that Craxton did for Frederick Ashton's Daphnis and Chloe in 1951.  There is also a short video showing the preparations for the revival of the work in 2004.  It's worth a look if you are anywhere near Sussex.
