These artists infuse the landscape with depth, dimension, and color that the photographs lack.

AND, “In the thirties, they also took up motoring – as their family photographs confirm – and they travelled around Britain and to the south of France on painting trips with Harold behind the wheel.” Dream on!

Thank you for introducing us to so many fascinating artists. The first image, today, was thrilling and I loved making these new-to-me discoveries. GA, you are a gem.

Stay safe, all.

Thank you, I remember these places from my childhood before the war. It was lovely to see the photographs

Thank you G.A for this fascinating blog. Like Chips, I also first heard about the ELG through this blog and instantly fell in love with the group’s art. By a very lucky coincidence my local city art gallery were hosting a touring exhibition of the work and I feel very fortunate to have seen it.
As an amateur photographer I enjoy all the photography blogs, so this one has been very special.

Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been a fan of the ELG for a number of years–I think I may have first heard of them from this blog. I always compare them–perhaps unfairly–to LS Lowry … the London equivalents, perhaps? My personal favourite is Cecil Osborne’s Sunday morning, Farringdon Road, which I believe is on display in a Brighton gallery.
