Young man with laurel over the eyes, Athens. c. 1936

Herbert List was a classically educated artist who combined a love of photography with a fascination for surrealism and classicism. He left Germany in 1936 and worked in Paris and London. His still lives would later be compared to the surrealist paintings of Max Ernst and Giorgio de Chirico. The Body Observed is at Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich , from 23 March to 30 June
