First Prev 1 2 Next Last

An exhibition about the life and work of popular cartoonist Peter Woolcock has opened at the Bermuda National Gallery.

Peter Woolcock: A Tribute, which runs until May 28, showcases the Argentinian-born artist’s stellar career in chronological order.

Among his achievements were illustrating Disneyland Magazine, publishing numerous children’s books and working at London’s Amalgamated Press for 38 years. After moving to Bermuda in 1981, he created Woppened, the popular weekly cartoon in The Royal Gazette that ran for more than 20 years. He died in 2014 at the age of 88.

To accompany this exhibition, the gallery has published Woolcock’s Wonders, a compilation of previously unseen children’s illustrations.

Entry to the exhibition will cost $5 for non-BNG members, with seniors, students and members granted free admission.
