Tucked away in the Sussex countryside Farley Farm House conjures up an extraordinary atmosphere that testifies to its position as a meeting place for some of the key personalities in twentieth century art.
In 1949 Surrealists Lee Miller (photographer) and Roland Penrose (artist) moved to Farley Farm House in Sussex. The house soon became the meeting place of some of the key figures of modern art including Picasso, Man Ray, Max Ernst and Joan Miró. Their work is now displayed throughout the house giving visitors a fabulous insight into the lives and art of Miller, Penrose and their friends
For more information please see the listing in the Event Directory.
