Appendix: The Seven & Five Society
As an increasingly progressive exhibiting society for younger artists, the Seven & Five held a unique position during the period between the wars, complementing the larger and better documented London Group. The name was derived from an original intention that the membership should consist of seven painters and five sculptors, though eighteen artists showed in the first exhibition. The style used to designate the society changed from ‘Seven & Five Society’, to ‘7 & 5 Society’ and finally, in 1935, to ‘7 & 5’.
