A truly original artist, Lear spent most of his 70 year career exploring beautifully proportioned male figures. His style is influenced by mid-century artists such as Paul Cadmus and George Tooker, but his originality stems from often placing his figures into fantastical and surrealist settings. He continued working until the end of his long life and was reported to have been preparing another exhibition immediately prior to his death, aged 98. His works are in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and several other museums.

Stonehouse had an extraordinary life. As a young art student studying fashion illustration, he joined the Royal Artillery at the beginning of WWII but soon became a part of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). He was sent to France as a radio operator but three and a half months later was caught by the Gestapo, tortured, given a death sentence and then selected for slave labour. He spent the subsequent war years in three French prisons and five concentration and labour camps, including Dachau. He still managed to continue to draw in some of the camps.
