Anthony Slade (1908-1941) studied at Brighton College of Art and lived and worked in Hove. He died at the age of 33 in 1941 but achieved a notable career in his short life. Both Leicester Galleries and The Redfern Gallery gave him one-man shows whilst he was still in his twenties. Slade’s work was acquired by a number of important private and public collections. Today, his work is sought after but rare due to the brevity of his career.
