Catalogue Note
'He seems to me one of the most astonishingly underestimated, or just unestimated, artists of his generation... It is not so much the technique as the vision underlying the
technique... there is always something stranger than first meets the eye' (Russell Taylor quoted in Edward Chaney and Christine Clearkin, Richard Eurich 1903 - 1922: Visionary Artist (exh. cat.), Paul Holberton publishing in association with Southampton Institute, London, 2003, p.26).
