Angus McBean (8 June 1904 – 9 June 1990) was a Welsh photographer, set designer and cult figure associated with surrealism. Angus McBean was born in Newbridge, Monmouthshire in South Wales on 8 June 1904. Despite the surname and the family's claim to be head of the sub-clan MacBean, they had been Welsh for generations. His father, Clement Philip James McBean, was a surveyor in the mines and the family moved frequently around Wales with his job. McBean attended Monmouth School and Newport Technical College, at which time he developed an interest in photography. Fascinated by the apparently magical properties of this process, Angus wanted to be able to take pictures of people and sold a gold watch left to him by his grandfather to raise the five pounds necessary for the equipment.
