Art of Exploration - The Polar Vision of Sir Wally Herbert (at The Lime Tree Gallery)

“Sir Wally Herbert was regarded as the doyen of polar explorers, and one of the few remaining links we had to that period of history known as the ‘Heroic Age’ of polar exploration. As both a pioneer and as a visionary he had the empathy to relate to history. As a prize-winning author and an artist of great talent he was, without question, the man best suited (through his lyrical text and his evocative images) to capture the spirit of the polar world, its wildlife and its native people. As a polar traveller in particular his record was outstanding and totally unique. He was ‘the greatest polar explorer of our time’ according to Sir Ranulph Fiennes; a ‘phenomenon’ according to the late Lord Shackleton, and a man whose ‘determination and courage’, according to H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, ‘are of truly heroic proportions’. In the new millennium, Wally Herbert was knighted in recognition of his achievements."
