Biography
Painter of figures, portraits, still-life and landscapes in
oil and watercolour. Self-taught, he was attracted to Surrealism
in 1930 and as a member of the Birmingham Group, joined the
Surrealist Group in 1938. He was a contributor to the London
Bulletin in 1939, and to Arson in 1942.
He exhibited
first in London at the Wertheim Gallery in 1932, and continued
to exhibit in London and throughout the UK. His work is represented
in a number of important private and public collections and
his paintings often showed transformed figures and dream-like,
unexpected conjunction of images. During the 1940's he painted
portraits and still-life but returned to Surrealism in later
works.
