In the second of our celebratory series of newsletters illustrating Adrian's rich and diverse interests, Adrian has picked highlights of the SYMBOLIST movement he dealt in during the first decade of his dealership.
I believe neither in what I touch nor what I see. I only believe in what I do not see, and solely in what I feel. - Gustave Moreau's quote about his painting practice fittingly illustrates Adrian's legacy in SYMBOLISM.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to explore Whitford's remarkable history while anticipating a future filled with invention, engagement, and a revitalised digital presence. We appreciate your involvement in this journey with us!
