John Bolam (1922–2009[1]) was a British post war artist.
He originally studied painting at Hornsey School of Art and furniture design at High Wycombe School of Art.
John Bolam is seen by many as following in the path of the neo-Romantics, most notably John Piper and Graham Sutherland, but his imagery subsequently evolved independently.
Bolam was also strongly influenced by French artists such as Braque and Degas as well as the English landscape, especially the Chilterns.
The major public collection of John Bolam's work is held at the Fry Art Gallery, Saffron Walden but his work also features in many important private art collections including those of Rank Xerox, Barclays Bank and Touche Ross.
