This exhibition is drawn from three private collections in the UK. The collectors have a passionate respect for the works of Cecil Collins. The extreme tenderness and humility of the Angel figure, the sympathetic almost child like nature of the Fool; the Pilgrim and the Poet: all appeal to our inner soul.There is a fully illustrated 72 page colour catalogue accompanying the exhibition with a previously unpublished essay by Bryce McKenzie-Smith written in 1976.

Brian Keeble, the founder of the Golgonooza Press and co-founder of the Temenos Journal and friend of Cecil Collins has kindly provided commentaries on the paintings in the exhibition.
