Exhibition Catalogue
with essays by Darren Coffield, Michael Peppiatt, and Robin MuirOver the years, Soho’s Colony Room Club has become synonymous with the artistic milieu of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. It was the American painter Ron Kitaj who coined that awkward term ‘School of London’ to describe the group of painters that frequented the club. Less well documented are the group of photographers who were equally as important to 20th Century British culture and frequented her establishment. For the club not only watered the important artists, writers and poets of post war London, but also gave succour to many photographers, who found themselves surrounded by a plethora of potential subjects.
The exhibiton catalogue presents the work of the photographers who frequented the infamous Colony Room Club: Baron, Bruce Bernard, Jeffrey Bernard, John Deakin, Angus Forbes, Amelia Troubridge, Carla Borel, Pascal Latra, Craig Easton, Michael Woods, Daniel Farson, Harry Diamond, Neal Slavin, Dennis Rolfe, among others.
