New York
At the outset of World War II, the Society for the Preservation of European Culture invited Onslow Ford to join the Surrealists in New York. Onslow Ford, one of the few Surrealists who was an English speaker, was invited to give a series of lectures at the New School for Social Research and organized four important Surrealist shows in 1941. Those lectures and exhibitions are said to have influenced artists such as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell and others who would go on to create Abstract Expressionism.
