The artists of the Euston Road School reacted against avant-garde styles. Instead they asserted the importance of painting traditional subjects in a realist manner. This attitude was based on a political agenda to create a widely understandable and socially relevant art. Some of them were members of the Communist Party. However their work was not propagandist in the manner of socialist realism.
