The Surrey Canal, Camberwell

Algernon Newton was a British painter known for spare, geometrically precise compositions of industrial and urban landscapes. Working primarily in oil, he developed a distinctive approach to depicting warehouses, factories, and architectural fragments with flattened perspective and muted palettes. His work occupied a unique position between Cubism and a more austere, restrained modernism in early 20th-century British art.
