WELCOME!
The E-BNR aims to build a comprehensive & unique cross-artform guide to
the British neo-Romantic tradition,
from 1880 to the present day.
While the British Romantics of 1789-1824 have spawned a vast industry of
publishers, conferences & tourism, the later neo-Romantic traditions
remain largely neglected. The E-BNR is aimed at bringing this hidden
tradition to light.

ENTRY: Logan, Andrew
Andrew Logan (b. 1945) is an English sculptor, performance artist,
jewellery-maker, portraitist and painter.
He was born at Witney, Oxfordshire, in England. He was educated as an architect at
the Oxford School of Architecture, graduating in 1970.
As the founder of the Alternative Miss World in 1972 (which he continues to run)
he became a key figure in London's cultural and fashion life. He notably influenced
film-maker Derek Jarman, whose early film-making work
documented the social scene around Andrew Logan and his studios at Butler's Wharf,
London. Logna's studios were also where Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood staged
the notorious "Valentine's Ball" in 1976, at which the Sex Pistols punk band first came to
media attention.
In 1991 a major retrospective of his work was held at the Museum of Modern Art,
Oxford. The purpose-built Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, at Berriew in the
Welsh Marches, now houses much of his sculpture and painting. It is the nation's
only museum devoted to a living artist. His work is also in numerous museums
and private collections around the world.
His work blends camp pop-art, mythical elements, and neo-romanticism to form a
quintessentially English 'eccentricity of vision'.
