The novelist E.M. Forster's famous maxim was 'only connect.' A member of the 'Bloomsbury set' who lived in Brunswick Square for years, Morgan Forster acted out this maxim in his life.
A lifelong believer in gay rights and critic of restrictions based on race and class, he famously had a 30-year friendship with working-class policeman Bob Buckingham. But the connection did not end there. Forster had a wider influence on the whole Buckingham family, including Bob's nephew Jim Buckingham who was inspired to follow privately his passion for painting.
Now in his 80s, Jim Buckingham has a collection of never-before-seen Forster memorabilia, letters, photographs and his own unseen life's work of paintings including portraits of Forster himself, Bob Buckingham and other family members, and a series around the theme of ancestry.
The exhibition offers new insights into E.M. Forster's legacy of connection, as well as into Bloomsbury working class history.
