The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection, Brighton, UK. Footnote: Exhibited: Pallant House Gallery, Poets in the Landscape, Romantic British Art, 31st March – 10th June 2007. Literature: Penguin New Writing, 1945, no.26 (illustrated); Martin, Simon, Poets in the Landscape: The Romantic Spirit in British Art, Pallant House Gallery, 2007, cat. no.71 (illustrated). Leslie Hurry produced a series of fantastic ink drawings during the early 1940s, based on imaginary kings, queens and altarpieces, which were headed with a long poetic text and bound together to form a private book entitled The Journey for Grace Sholto Douglas. The current work displays an equal degree of Blakean doom-laden symbolism, and is part of the revival of a British neo-Romantic movement in the years directly after the Second World War.
