Storran Gallery

In 1937 it was run by the prominent art critic Eardley Knollys (a friend of Picasso)[1] with Ala Story and the artist Frank Coombs (1906-1941).

They typed letters to invite over 800 London-based families with the widely held surname.

[3] Pictures exhibited at the Storran Gallery in the late 1930s included those by Picasso, Modigliani,[4] Dufy, Anthony Devas, Claude Rogers, Victor Pasmore, Rupert Shephard,[5] Graham Bell, Clare Crossley,[6][7] William Coldstream, Ivon Hitchens, Jean Varda,[3] Derek Sayer, Lynton Lamb, Joan Souter-Robinson,[8] Ivy Langton,[9] and Derek Latymer-Sayer.
