The fashion designer appears in a brand new film to talk about two paintings which capture her vision of London. In this intimate interview, Vivienne Westwood discusses the work of the artists Frank Auerbach and JM Whistler who drew inspiration from scenes of London and the River Thames. The film is part of the This is Britain campaign promoting the free collections displays at Tate Britain.
Watch Westwood speak about why these artists have a personal significance to her, and how the museums and galleries of London have been a constant source of inspiration throughout her life.
The paintings? Auerbach’s Oxford Street Building Site and Whistler’s Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Cremorne Lights, which are both part of the BP British Art Displays at Tate Britain.
