Comments on: Return Of The East London Group https://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/04/29/return-of-the-east-london-group/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 22 Mar 2016 00:40:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Patrick Clark https://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/04/29/return-of-the-east-london-group/#comment-1082782 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 00:40:48 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=112319#comment-1082782 Love these paintings. Oddly enough, I just bought painting signed H. Steggles this weekend in vintage market in Canada. I wonder if it could be one of his later works.

They are so evocative of the time they portray. The lack of traffic and people instills a feeling of calm, and has anyone noticed that some of the street lighting shown are works of art themselves, I wonder if they are still there? Thinking of making it a project to visit the areas to see then and now.
There is an exhibition of their paintings ‘Out of the City’ at the Beecroft Gallery Southend on Sea, from 19th of this month and I have been lucky enough to have been invited to the private view this evening, can’t wait.

Thanks for showing them here I love the sense of colour and shape. Funny how so many of these places are recognisable but not cluttered by cars, satellite dishes etc.

Does anyone know which chapel is shown in his 1932 painting?

Lovely to see all of the others too, thanks for sharing them. I am an ex art student and an artist (sadly lapsed).

The colours and shapes really stand out and I would venture if these had been created by a school of French artists, we would have heard much more about them. Buried treasure indeed and glad to see them in the light of day.

Thank you.
