The Euston Road School was a group of English painters founded in 1937 at 316 Euston Road, London, all of the members either teaching or attending the School of Drawing and Painting located at that address. The original members included William Coldstream, Victor Pasmore, Claude Rogers, and Graham Bell. Reacting against the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century, the school’s teaching methods encouraged students to closely observe their subjects, resulting in an emphasis on naturalism and realism. The school was short-lived, dying out at the onset of World War II, but influenced many later British painters.
