The Birmingham Group were an important school of artists, one of the last outposts of late Romanticism in the visual arts, and an important link between the last of the Pre-Raphaelites and the new Slade Symbolists.
They began to form in an informal manner in the 1890s. Many were later to become teachers in Birmingham (especially the great Birmingham Municipal School of Art under Edward R. Taylor), and this meant that the Edward Burne-Jones style influenced all those who studied at the Birmingham art schools.
Many were also heavily influenced by the ideas and practices of John Ruskin and William Morris, and had indeed personally known those men. Several had undertaken work for the Kelmscott Press, with Charles March Gere producing the famous frontispiece to News from Nowhere. Many, unable to support themselves only through their art, also became fine crafts makers as well as teachers.
There was initially no formal membership, but during the 1930s they were known to have had a membership secretary.
Some of their members later became part of the Birmingham Surrealists group of artists, thus carrying to English Surrealism the rich vein of Romantic concern with emotional states in pictures, with myth and fantasy, with visions, and with a natural supernaturalist experience conveyed through art.

Joseph Edward Southall (Nottingham 1861 -- Edgbaston 1944)
Born in Nottingham of Quaker parents, Joseph Southall moved with his family to Birmingham when his father died in the year after his birth. He began his career as an articled clerk in the architectural practice of Martin and Chamberlain (1878-1882) before deciding to become a painter. He attended classes at the School of Art from 1882. He married Anna Elizabeth in 1903 and was a prominent figure among the Birmingham Quakers, an active socialist and pacifist. By the 1890s he had also established a reputation as one of Birmingham's leading painters.
Southall had spent thirteen weeks in Italy in 1883 and on his return began to experiment with painting in tempera. Through an uncle he met John Ruskin who commissioned him to design a museum for the Guild of St George at Bewdley in 1885. Although the commission came to nothing, Ruskin did send Southall back to Italy on a research trip. Southall also befriended the Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones, visiting him in London on several occasions between 1893 and 1897, and Burne-Jones actively encouraged his experimentation with tempera.
Although, unlike many of his fellow students, he never taught at the Birmingham School of Art, he retained a close association through personal friendships, technical demonstrations to staff and students (particularly in the use of tempera) and acting on several occasions as an External Examiner.
Joseph Southall was elected Associate of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) in 1898 and Member in 1902. He was appointed Professor of Painting at the RBSA in1933 and became President in 1939. In 1901 he had founded the Society of Painters in Tempera along with J D Batten and Walter Crane. He exhibited with at The New Gallery (1897-1909) and with the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (1899-1909). He exhibited at the Royal Academy during two periods of his career, 1895-1897 and 1923-1942. He held a number of one-man shows, notably at the Galeries Georgs Petit in Paris in 1910 and at the Alpine Club in 1922.

Simon from St Paul's Gallery gives a brief tour of the world's leading retailer in signed limited edition album cover fine art.
'I'm Simon Bland from St Paul's Gallery in Birmingham. What we have here is the world's largest collection of music related signed fine art.
This is an interesting piece as it's unique. It's a sound wave that's taken from a chunk of 'Wish You Were Here' the Pink Floyd song. It's particularly unique because of the colouring and the size but also as it's hand signed by all four members of the band.
These are an interesting artefact, they are the original eyeballs that Pink Floyd used for their 'Pulse' DVD cover. Moving around to The Wall (the film), this is again unique because it's actually an original film cell from the film. Moving around the gallery, we have our 'Bowie Wall.' We've published most of these images in actual fact for and with David and the original artists who created the works in the 70s. Our first piece was Ziggy Stardust, then most recently 'The Archer' piece.
I think it is extremely important to celebrate creativity in Birmingham as there is so much here. I think there is a bit of lethargy about the promotion of it - there's a lot to shout about.'
