Victor Pasmore (1908-1998) - 'Abstract (London Group Poster)'.
The Fine Art Department’s first ‘official’ contact with Pasmore was the purchase of this, for the period, dramatically abstract work, which was in fact Pasmore’s design for the background of the poster for the 1948 London Group exhibition (the poster version had text over-printed).
