Note du spécialiste

Samuel Carr was chairman of the publishers B.T. Batsford, and a keen collector of Modern British Art. His brother, the well-known Northern Irish painter Tom Carr, introduced Sam to his Slade School and Euston Road School contemporaries. Sam struck up a particularly close friendship with Victor Pasmore and purchased many works directly from him.
