Burra travelled widely, and many influences are at play in his works, which were usually watercolour on a large scale in strong colours. During World War Two, when it became impossible to travel, he also became involved in designing scenery and costumes for ballet, opera and theatre including Miracle in the Gorbals and became very successful in that field.
Exhibitions have been held at The Tate Gallery (1938), [2] [4] The Ashmolean Museum, The National Portrait Gallery, of which he was a founder member in 1911, and Pallant House Gallery (2022). [6] The 2022 Pallant House Gallery exhibition included a portrait of Paul Robeson as Othello, hitherto thought lost. [6]
