The present exhibition represents a sequel to the show of wartime acquisitions first placed on view in 1942. It contains a selection of the finest works acquired  since that date together with certain other pictures acquired earlier (for example Modigliani’s Le Petit Paysan) but which were not available in 1942.

The Trustees have also taken advantage of the end of the war in Europe by bringing to London for display together with this exhibition a choice of the finest works by William Blake in the Gallery, thus enabling the public to see the magnificent additions to the representation of Blake that have been made during the war (due principally to the generosity of Mr. Graham Robertson) together with the best examples from pre-war collection.
