The rich textures and mystical atmosphere are characteristic of Varo's unique blend of magic realism and imaginative storytelling in art.

Writing an essay on murals and public art; so many pieces of work commissioned for the Festival of Britain in 1951 were destroyed when it closed. Edward Bawden's colossal 'Country Life' (47 feet by 36 feet) depicting scenes from national life is officially 'lost.'
