 Eileen Agar. Eileen Agar is generally placed in the history of Modern British Art in the Surrealist movement. But, earlier, in 1931, it is evident that she was familiar with pure abstract art

John Banting. Bridge Street Fine Art knew John Banting and worked with him in the 1970's.  Here are some linocuts and an outstanding Surrealist painting from his major exhibition at the Storran Gallery in 1938.  

David Oxtoby. Bradford in the 1950's and 1960's may seem to have been an unexpected place for a group of avant-garde artists to emerge.  The Bradfordistas were Norman Stevens, John Loker, David Hockney and David Oxtoby.  All migrated south to London where their work evolved into different areas while retaining their strong figurative foundations.

Arthur Boyd.  One of Australia's foremost artists, Arthur Boyd, lived and worked in London and Suffolk for a significant part of his life. Here are the the first three large-scale lithographs produced in London in collaboration with the lithographer, Andrew Purches.

Jo Delahaut. Shown here is a delightful and simple screenprint by the Belgian geometric colourist,  Jo Delahaut.

Conroy Maddox. Of all the British Surrealist Painters, only Conroy Maddox remained entirely committed to the cause from the 1930's until his death in the 21st. century.  Four graphics from 1971.

Paul Nash. There is no more influential figure than Paul Nash in Modern British Art.  War Artist, printmaker and painter, his work presents a poetic and subtle approach to familiar views and movements.  Also known for his distinctive photographs, here is an example with Surrealist overtones.

Grace Pailthorpe. Grace Pailthorpe is a British Surrealist whose works are rarely seen

Victor Reinganum. Abstract or Surrealist artist? Both? The paintings of Reinganum show an enticing period flair as well as links to both abstraction and surrealism.
