Ralph Rumney

Ralph Rumney (1934-2002), the British artist and writer, crossed paths with many of the radical movements in art and politics of the last 50 years, and became particularly renown in recent years for being a co-founder of the culturally subversive Situationist International. Rumney led a nomadic existence, seeing his life as 'permanent adventure and endless experiment’, but finally settled in the South of France towards the end of his life. His early abstract paintings were tachiste in style, and his major work of that period, The Change (1957), was purchased by the Tate Gallery from his retrospective exhibition at England & Co in 1989.
