Roger Hilton studied at the Slade School of Art. He served in the Second World War but was captured during a raid in Dieppe, France, and spent three years as a prisoner of war. In the early 1950s, Hilton moved on from his early figurative paintings to producing more abstract work. During the late 1950s, 60s and 70s, Hilton pursued his wish to ‘reinvent figuration’. Hilton said, “Abstraction in itself is nothing. It is only a step towards a new sort of figuration, that is, one which is more true.”
