A propos de cet article

23 x 28cm 72pp near fine exhibition catalogue with black and white plus colour reproductioons illustrating the artist's surrealist nature. Gordon Onslow-Ford was one of the last surviving members of the 1930s Paris surrealist group surrounding AndrÈ Breton. Born in the English town of Wendover in 1912 to a family of artists, Onslow Ford began painting at an early age. His grandfather, Edward Onslow Ford, was a Victorian sculptor. At the age of 11, he began painting landscapes under the guidance of his uncle. Following the death of his father at age 14, he was sent to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. The ocean affected him deeply and his early works depicted ocean scenes. The metaphor of taking a "voyage" later became an important aspect of his paintings. Essays include: 'Welcome to a New Concept of Being'.
