| Admin/Biog History | The exhibition was proposed in 1985 following a letter Surry sent to David E. Coke asking for any information on George Beare. Coke asked Surry to notify him when he had enough information on Beare and they could possibly put together an exhibition at Pallant House in Chichester. Five years later Surry had enough research material to publish an article and start the exhibition. This exhibition was made possible through grants awarded by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and financial support from the former Department of Historical and Literary Studies, at Portsmouth Polytechnic. |
