Phyllis Dimond is a social realism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Phyllis Dimond painted quiet London scenes in watercolor straight from city life. In 1942 she recorded the Geffrye Museum on Kingsland Road; the next year she sketched the Bluecoat School in Westminster and a wartime shelter in Bedford Square. She left no movement label, just brush-and-paper snapshots of wartime London. Tap any of these three watercolors to step into the wartime streets she chose to show.
