Claude Harrison (1922–2009) was a British painter celebrated for his theatrical, meticulously staged figurative works. Often described as a modern-day allegorist, he infused his paintings with wit, satire and a dreamlike quality, blending elements of commedia dell’arte, puppetry, and carnival with sharp social observation. His compositions frequently featured masked or costumed figures placed in surreal settings, creating narratives that were both playful and unsettling. A skilled draughtsman with a rich palette, Harrison developed a distinctive style that combined traditional technique with imaginative storytelling, making him one of the most original British figurative painters of the 20th century.
