"Old Kew Bridge, London" by James Webb, an oil painting dating from 1876 to 1885, is held at the Museum of London.

The oil painting "Kew Bridge" by Henry Muhrman (1854-1916) was painted in about 1898, when the artist was living in Gunnersbury. It is now in the Tate Gallery's collection.

The Tate also holds J.M.W. Turner's pen and ink sketch "The Thames at Kew with Kew Bridge" (1805) and his oil painting "The Thames Glimpsed between Trees, possibly at Kew Bridge c.1806-7".

Famous quotes containing the words bridge and/or art:

    I see four nuns
    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
