   Notes and sources

   Hayter's preface for this exhibition, signed "H.," was located in Swedish translation in the journal Konstrevy (1935) by James Chadwick. It names 22 exhibiting artists and describes the plaster-relief method alongside paper prints.

   About the exhibiting artists

   The preface, signed "H." (Hayter), lists 22 exhibitors and was published in Swedish in Konstrevy (1935). A review in L'Intransigeant (May 26, 1935) singles out Brignoni, Vieillard, Vulliamy and Catherine Yarrow and names Dalí and Ernst as the group's two influences. Konstrevy gives Buckland Wright's first name as "Frank"; linked here to John Buckland-Wright.
