Footnote
ATALANTA (LANTA) SPURRIER (1905-1981)
Was a British painter known for painting en plein air with direct, bold brushwork and a strong sense of colour. She studied at the Chelsea School of Art under Augustus John, by then considered one of Britain’s foremost painters of a broadly impressionistic style. Spurrier subsequently established a studio in Chelsea where she also taught. She later moved to the Surrey/Sussex borders and worked from a studio at South Holmwood, near Dorking. Spurrier travelled widely, painting in France, Switzerland, Austria, Greece and most frequently Italy. Alongside her studio practice Spurrier also worked in commercial art design, mostly book covers and posters, with projects including the National Henry Wood Fund and the London Olympic Games Exhibition.
