Victor Pasmore

Edwin John Victor Pasmore, CH, CBE (3 December 1908 – 23 January 1998) was a British artist.

The sentence qualified him to go to the Appellate Tribunal in Edinburgh, which allowed him unconditional exemption from military service.

[6] Beginning in 1947, he developed a purely abstract style under the influence of Ben Nicholson and other artists associated with Circle, becoming a pioneering figure of the revival of interest in Constructivism in Britain following the War.

[7] Pasmore's abstract work, often in collage and construction of reliefs, pioneered the use of new materials and was sometimes on a large architectural scale.

Pasmore was a supporter of fellow artist Richard Hamilton, giving him a teaching job in Newcastle[10] and contributing a constructivist structure to the exhibition "This Is Tomorrow" in collaboration with Ernő Goldfinger and Helen Phillips.

[12] Pasmore represented Britain at the 1961 Venice Biennale, was participating artist at the Documenta II 1959 in Kassel and was a trustee of the Tate Gallery,[13] donating a number of works to the collection.

This gallery houses a permanent exhibition of works discovered in Pasmore's home in Gudja, Malta and also in his residence in Blackheath, London.

The exhibition consists primarily of paintings and constructions created while the artist lived in Malta.
