 Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Conroy Maddox
Conroy Maddox, who has died aged 92, was the last survivor of the British surrealist movement of the 1930s, a painter who stayed loyal to his principles of anti-bourgeois subversion for more than half a century.
Like most surrealists, Maddox was a controversialist; he liked to denounce other artists whom he held to be unfaithful to the spirit of the movement.
Maddox and Melville failed to send paintings, but denounced such established figures as Herbert Read, Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland, who were within the surrealist orbit but regarded by Maddox as middle-class purveyors of the acceptable picturesque.
