3 unusual facts about Frederick Gore


Frederick Gore

Leaving Oxford, and arriving in London, Gore trained at the Slade under Henry Tonks and at the Westminster School of Art with Mark Gertler and Polunin from whom he learnt the flat-on-the-floor method of painting backdrops for the theatre: most useful later on when as an active member of the Balalaika Dance Group as dancer and organiser of events, he enhanced their productions with his professional expertise.

Summer months for many years were spent painting outside: on the Greek islands of Paros (1950s) and later on Aegina.
