Dorothy Mead

Dorothy Mead (1928–1975) was a British painter.^[1][2]

Mead was born in London, England,^[3] She first met David Bomberg (1890–1957) when he was teaching at the Dagenham School of Art in 1945. She followed him when he moved to the City Literary Institute in London and then to the Borough Polytechnic where she studied under Bomberg from 1944 to 1951. Mead was a founder member of the Borough Group^[4] in 1946 together with other pupils of Bomberg including Cliff Holden.^[5]

From 1956 for the rest of the decade, Mead was a mature student at the Slade School of Art, following Bomberg's inspiration.^[6] Here she met artist and teacher Andrew Forge.^[7] During the 1960s, Mead exhibited with other artists including Peter Blake, William Crozier, David Hockney, Bridget Riley, and Euan Uglow. Mead joined the London Group of artists in 1960 and was President from 1971–73, succeeding Andrew Forge in the position.^[8]

The collection of the Tate Gallery and other art museums include work by Mead.^[9] Mead's paintings were shown at the 1991 exhibition Bomberg and his Legacy, held in Eastbourne at the Towner Art Gallery.^[3] In 2005, a retrospective exhibition was held thirty years after her death.^[10]
