Albert Herbert (1925–2008) was an artist with a powerful and original poetic vision. For five decades he consistently painted surprising and dream-like images—these seemingly naïve yet sophisticated paintings were the result of his life-long journey exploring 'what lies beneath the surface of the mind'.

The exhibition Remembering Albert Herbert included paintings, works on paper and etchings. Many of the works from this memorial exhibition are shown in these pages, along with an archive of works selected from other past exhibitions. More works will be added gradually to these pages as an archive of the artist's work.

Links to the obituaries about the artist published in The Times, The Independent and The Guardian, can be found on the gallery News page in the May 2008 entry.
