Gore had his first solo exhibition at the Redfern Gallery, London, in 1937 after graduating from the Slade and a summer painting in Les Baux de Provence, France. Most of the following year was spent painting in Greece at the invitation of a Greek patron, and Gore exhibited the results at the Gallery Borghese in Paris and later in London. The catalogue introduction was written by Louis Vauxcelles (1870-1943), the veteran art critic who had coined the term "Fauves", in which Gore was called the English Fauve. The outbreak of War meant the Artist had to leave Europe. Freddy met Peggy Guggenheim in 1938, when her sister helped arrange the subsequent exhibition at the Stafford Gallery in London, which opened the following year.
