Collector's Note: Cecil Collins (British, 1908–1989) was a central figure in British Neo-Romanticism. Collins studied at the Royal College of Art and exhibited with the Surrealists in 1936 before forging an independent, visionary style. Strongly influenced by William Blake, his mystical works frequently feature recurring spiritual archetypes like the Fool and the Angel. Collins was honored with a major retrospective at the Tate Gallery in 1989. His works are held in prominent private and public collections including Tate, London, British Museum, London, Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London, National Portrait Gallery, London and British Council Collection, London
