27 December 1912 – 14 January 2005, was an English Surrealist painter, collagist, writer and lecturer; and a key figure in the Birmingham Surrealist movement.
He was born in Ledbury and discovered surrealism in 1935, spending the rest of his life exploring its potential through his paintings, collages, photographs, objects and texts. Inspired by artists such as Max Ernst, Oscar Dominguez and Salvador Dali, he rejected academic painting in favour of techniques that expressed the surrealistic spirit of rebellion. Maddox officially joined the British Surrealist Group in 1938.
