Euston Road School

A group of English painters working 1937–9 in London, including William Coldstream (1908–87), Victor Pasmore (1908–98), Graham Bell (1910–43), and Claude Rogers (1909–79). They rejected abstraction and surrealism, and practised a quiet naturalism concentrating on domestic subjects.

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.
