Monsieur Ozenfant's Academy by Charles Darwent garden gifts ‘With Salon PaintingsBefore the Second World War, an art school stood in a pair of mews houses off Kensington High Street in London. Although the school was small and short lived, it would be linked to an extraordinary range of talent. Leonora Carrington was one of its students; Henry Moore taught there; Francis Bacon and Eduardo Paolozzi both cited its creator as the reason they had become artists. The school bore his name: the Amde Ozenfant Academy of Fine Arts.
