The post-war book designs of artist and teacher, Stephen Russ, are coming to life at Chippenham Museum.
From the forties to the seventies, Russ produced dozens of dust jackets, from striking first editions of Graham Greene at Bodley Head to a wide range of titles at Collins, including nature books and the famous Collins Crime Club.
He is perhaps best known for his work with Penguin, designing covers for the main orange series, the lesser-known music scores, and the highly collectible Penguin Poets series. His phoenix motif for DH Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover became famous during the 1960 obscenity trial and featured in the marketing that helped make the book a bestseller.
The exhibition also celebrates Russ’s thirty-year career as a tutor at the renowned Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, brought together with the generous support of the Russ family and loans from the Penguin Archive and the University of Bristol.

Genevieve Sioka studied printed textiles at Winchester School of Art, followed by printmaking at the University of the West of England. Growing up in Cherhill, Wiltshire, Sioka worked in the creative industries and lectured in fashion, textiles and printmaking, before returning to the local area. Sioka works predominantly in painting and printmaking, exploring layers of colour and texture in an energetic and expressive abstract form.
