Woking, The Lightbox, John Minton and the Romantic Tradition, 28 January 2017 – 9 March 2017
The term Neo-Romantic encompassed artists whose work sought to escape from a world of anxiety into an insular landscape protected by history, myth and fantasy. John Craxton particularly objected to his work being labelled in this way, saying that one was either Romantic in spirit or not, and that it was impossible to be ‘Neo-Romantic’. Ultimately he was linked with most of the other so-called Neo-Romantics, including John Minton and Keith Vaughan.
