ALMOST since the day the fight for socialism became organised, artists in Britain have looked for ways to use their talents in the aid of this great vision.
In the 1930s Alan Bush founded the William Morris Music Society as an organisation for artists to discuss politics and music and how they work together.
Similarly, in 1933, thanks to Pearl Binder, Clifford Rowe, Misha Black, James Fitton and others, the Artists’ International Association was formed which sought to promote “unity of artists for peace, democracy and cultural development.”
