PETER CUSHING ART GALLERY

 

The Man:

Peter Cushing (1913-1994), star of stage and screen best known for his roles in the Hammer Horror films, had another great passion - painting.

Between 1948 and 1992 he produced a large number of water colours and pen and wash works which reflected his great love of nature, featuring mainly flowers and landscapes.
