• David Bomberg  1890-1957
  
  

  Bomberg was one of the major artists of the London avant-garde scene, one of those whose Cubo-Futurist approach led them to invent geometrical signs verging on abstraction and the Vorticist movement. He served with the Royal Engineers in France from 1915. Mud-Bath and In The Hold are among the best-known of his War paintings. His later works are landscapes and portraits in a freely expressionist style, often painted on his travels in Europe and the Near East.

• Prunella Clough   1919-1999
  
  

  Prunella Clough lived and worked in London all her life. She taught at Wimbledon School of Art. Her work combines both figuration and abstraction, and her subjects come from the urban landscape. Her images were combined and filtered through memory, and evolved through a slow process of layering and re-working. Early on in her career she made sketches in factories and at Lowestoft Harbour, with its maritime life.

• John Minton  1917-1957
  
  

  A painter and illustrator, Minton's oeuvre includes work in theatre design, posters and commercial design, and book illustration. Minton taught at Camberwell, the Central School of Art and at the Royal College. Well-known in Soho circles, his vivaciousness and generosity hid a deep melancholy which led to his suicide in 1957.
