Euston Road School

Euston Road School

The Euston Road School was an art school which gave its name to a group of English painters, active in London between 1937 and 1939.

William Coldstream, Victor Pasmore, Claude Rogers, Maurice Feild and Graham Bell set up a School of Drawing and Painting in Euston Road in 1937, and other associated artists included Lawrence Gowing, Tom Carr, Peter Lanyon and Rodrigo Moynihan.

The painters emphasised naturalism and realism, in contrast to the various schools of avant-garde art then prevalent. Many of the members were on the political left, and naturalism was seen as an attempt to make art more relevant and understandable to non-specialists.

The Euston Road tradition has been inherited by contemporary painters of varied methods, including the abstract painter Ken Maycock and Sam Dodwell.
