ARTISTS OF THE EAST LONDON GROUP (HB) (CANCELLED)

In the interwar years, a group of untrained London artists, most of them working class, became an art world sensation. Their atmospheric paintings depicted everyday life, their London surroundings, and scenes from further afield. Displayed at galleries around the UK including Whitechapel and the Tate, their admirers included Aldous Huxley, Walter Sickert and Osbert Sitwell. This fascinating book is based on correspondence and interviews with the last group members, plus research carried out over many years. Expanded and updated with a new afterword, and richly illustrated throughout.
