The collections of twentieth-century paintings in the Ashmolean
Museum, Oxford, have developed largely through the generosity of
individuals. Notable among these in the early decades of the
century were Frank Hindley Smith and Mrs W F R Weldon, while since
the Second World War the Museum's collections have been enriched
through gifts and requests from Thomas Balston, R A P Bevan, Molly
Freeman, Christopher Hewett and others. This book gives the reader
a taste of the wide range of the collection, with its
representative group of Camden Town and Euston Road School
pictures, and important early works by Bonnard, Picasso and
Matisse.

Benedict Read died suddenly on 20 October 2016. His influence on
art-history in the field of sculpture, and his ground-breaking
authoritative volume, Victorian Sculpture (1982) were hugely
important. He was instrumental in bringing about a sea-change in
academic attitudes towards both the nineteenth century and to
sculpture. This memorial Festschrift published by the PMSA of which
Ben was a founder, former Chairman and trustee, celebrates his
academic achievement, his considerable contribution to scholarship
and the generosity of spirit with which he shared his knowledge. It
is a powerful testament to the inspiration of a remarkable person.
