Maddox is one of British Surrealism's most intransigent figures. Responsible for fanning its dwindling fame in the post-war years he continued until his death to be the most loyal and diligent representative of the movement in this country.
In evoking the mystery of passages and arcades with his lucid critical spirit, Maddox joins Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte in their quest of the marvelous and the eccentric.
