A highly skilled draughtsman and a major figure in 20th century art, Victor Pasmore developed a completely abstract style of art in the 1940s which was described by Herbert Read as 'the most revolutionary event in post-war British art' whilst another critic, Lawrence Alloway, said, 'his art developed from being a window onto nature through an elliptical sign language to the picture as an object'. Examples of his work are held in all major collections of modern art.
