Collins, a visionary artist, believed that life’s spiritual quest would end with arrival at what he termed the ‘Great Happiness’: the sun of consciousness shining over all the worlds. Pears was a discriminating collector of Collins’s work: in 1956 he bought his Resurrection and commissioned The Agony in the Garden in the same year as a companion piece for it. A retrospective exhibition was held at the 37th Aldeburgh Festival in 1984
