W. Brindley

W. Brindley is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

W. Brindley packed watercolours the way soldiers pack rifles—tiny pans of pigment in a tin no bigger than a sandwich, ready for the next dusty road. He lugged them across Egypt’s Eastern Desert in the 1880s, painting wind-whipped dunes that look like frozen waves seen through a soda straw. Slide into Gallery Tiles and look for Eastern Desert, Egypt (1887)—a scrap of paper that somehow holds the whole Sahara in one wet brushstroke.
