In 1937 it was run by the prominent art critic [Eardley Knollys](/source/Eardley_Knollys) (a friend of [Picasso](/source/Picasso))[1] with [Ala Story](/source/Ala_Story) and the artist [Frank Coombs](/source/Frank_Coombs_(artist)) (1906–1941). The gallery was at 106 [Brompton Road](/source/Brompton_Road) London SW3 (just opposite [Harrods](/source/Harrods)) but moved to [Fitzroy Street](/source/Fitzroy_Street%2C_London) and then 316 [Euston Road](/source/Euston_Road). An unusual exhibition at the gallery in 1938 was The Jones Exhibition, in which the artists [Graham Bell](/source/Graham_Bell_(artist)) and [Tom Harrisson](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Harrisson,_artist&action=edit&redlink=1)[2] curated an exhibition of London scenes by British painters all named Jones. They typed letters to invite over 800 London-based families with the widely held surname.[3] A 1937 Storran Gallery receipt for Modigliani, Hitchens and Picasso Pictures exhibited at the Storran Gallery in the late 1930s included those by [Picasso](/source/Picasso), [Modigliani](/source/Amedeo_Modigliani),[4] [Dufy](/source/Raoul_Dufy), [Anthony Devas](/source/Anthony_Devas), [Claude Rogers](/source/Claude_Rogers_(artist)), [Victor Pasmore](/source/Victor_Pasmore), [Rupert Shephard](/source/Rupert_Shephard),[5] [Graham Bell](/source/Graham_Bell_(artist)), [Clare Crossley](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clare_Crossley&action=edit&redlink=1),[6][7] [William Coldstream](/source/William_Coldstream), [Ivon Hitchens](/source/Ivon_Hitchens), [Jean Varda](/source/Jean_Varda),[3] [Derek Sayer](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derek_Sayer&action=edit&redlink=1), [Lynton Lamb](/source/Lynton_Lamb), [Joan Souter-Robinson](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joan_Souter-Robinson&action=edit&redlink=1),[8] Ivy Langton,[9] and [Derek Latymer-Sayer](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derek_Latymer-Sayer&action=edit&redlink=1).[10] A number of these artists were members of the [Euston Road School](/source/Euston_Road_School). The sculptor [Willi Soukop](/source/Willi_Soukop) had his first one-man show at the Storran Gallery in 1938.[11] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-guardian_1-0)** Wade, Alex (24 May 2005).
