About the artist
John Gay
Gay was born Hans Gohler, in Karlsruhe, southwest Germany, in 1909. He studied at art school in Paris and began working as a commercial photographer in his native Germany before leaving for England in 1933. In England, he adopted the name John Gay after the 18th-century composer. Gay worked for Strand and Country Fair magazines and his favourite subjects were the English countryside, London street scenes and the architecture of the railways.
