Philip Surrey, Philip Henry Howard Surrey

Philip Henry Surrey (1910–1990), commonly catalogued as Philip Surrey, was a Canadian painter associated with Montreal. Public authority records align on his identity and life years, while biographical sources describe him as a figurative artist best known for scenes of Montreal. He was a founding member of the Contemporary Arts Society and was connected to Frederick Varley as a friend and student. Surrey's place within Montreal's art community during the late 1930s and 1940s helps explain why collectors encounter his name in discussions of twentieth-century Canadian art, although the collected sources do not assign him a single formal movement label. His documented reputation rests most clearly on painting and urban figurative subject matter. Auction and appraisal records may use the shorter name Philip Surrey, making authority identifiers and life dates useful for distinguishing his work from incomplete or similarly named catalogue entries.

PaintingFigurative scenes of Montreal

Common works and media

The strongest documented category is painting, particularly figurative work depicting Montreal. The collected sources do not establish a dependable breakdown by technique, support, format, or edition. Individual catalogue entries should therefore be checked rather than assuming that a work is an oil, watercolor, drawing, or print solely from the artist's name.

Market and appraisal context

Philip Surrey's market should be approached through correctly attributed paintings and comparable public auction records rather than a generalized price claim. The collected identity sources connect him most clearly with Canadian painting and figurative Montreal subjects, so the catalogued artist name, work type, and relationship of the subject to his documented practice are useful starting points when selecting comparables. Appraisily's artist page supplies an auction-record context, but this source pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or attribution qualifiers. Those fields require review at the lot level before appraisal. No price trend, scarcity claim, or forecast is supported by the present evidence.

Appraisal caveats

  • Works catalogued under the shorter name Philip Surrey should be matched against life years and authority identifiers before comparison.
