Enid Marx (1902-1998) was one of Britain's foremost designers. She
produced textiles, wallpaper, book jackets, was an illustrator, painter
and a prolific collector of folk and popular art. She would often use
objects from her collection to inspire her designs. She donated her
collection to Compton Verney. They have recently raised funds to be able
to display Enid's objects and the work they inspired alongside each
other.
The gallery is presented as if it were Enid's own living room, with her wallpaper on the walls hung with items from her collection and her own prints and paintings. A wooden sideboard is used to store an interactive display encouraging visitors to play with pattern blocks.
