Jan Kurzke was a left-wing artist who fled Nazi Germany in the early 1930s and tramped round the south of Spain, witnessing first-hand the poverty of the rural population.
He eventually found his way to London.
When the Spanish civil war broke out in 1936, he went back and joined the International Brigade, to defend the democratically elected Republic.
