I really like these paintings, I had already seen some of them on this blog. I’m glad these artists are getting more attention now.

Sheer joy. I like the Shell posters, too.
It really is all happening in Southend / Margate isn’t it? Do you think it is the Tracy Emin effect?

Thank you for giving us a chance to see them. I agree with the comment re the Tattingstone Wonder!!

Does the fact that some of the East London Group’s paintings were used in Shell advertisements mean that those artists were famous at the time? Thanks.

The Tattingstone Wonder brings back a memory of my Dad taking my sister and I on a mystery trip in our ageing Morris Minor in the early 1970s. He had not long since learnt to drive so I imagine it was as much of a thrill for him as for us. The Wonder was one of the places we stopped at and we could hardly believe what we were seeing as the church aspect of it is entirely convincing. Thanks for sharing the pictures and for sparking off the happy memory!
