“Burning Streets” is strongly infleunced by the work of Graham Sutherland whose powerful im- ages of London during the Blitz date (for the most part) from the previous year. Vaughan met Sutherland at the same date and he showed Vaughan how to harness the mixed media of water- colour, gouache, ink and wax resist to great and dramatic effect. Vaughan described the results of this “as baffling and excitng as Blake” (see Malcolm York, “Keith Vaughan, his life and work”, Constable, 1990, p.77).
