Geoffrey Graham was a Sydney-based surrealist artist, mainly working in watercolour, and drawing with ink, pen and brush. Work by Graham was included in the Realism and Surrealism exhibition in Gloucester, UK in 1938. Interest in Graham's drawings and etchings of bodies in 'psychological and physical torment' was revived by the National Gallery of Australia exhibition Surrealism: Revolution by Night in 1993. The National Gallery of Australia holds more than seventy of the artist's works, painted between 1936 and 1970.
