Eileen Agar

She was a member of the LONDON GROUP from 1933, and exhibited at the International Surrealist Exhibition at the New Burlington Galleries, London, in 1936. She saw her first Surrealist work in a gallery in Paris around 1929 and met the poet Paul Eluard at that time. She experimented with automatic techniques and new materials, made collages and objects, and exhibited with the Surrealists in England and abroad.

The war disrupted her painting and she did not start painting again until 1946 and was still creating art works up until her death in 1991.
