Peter Rose Pulham (1910–1956) was a British photographer and surrealist painter. Examples of his works are in the collections of the Tate and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.[1]

Pulham was born in 1910 in Norfolk.[2] In the 1930s, he started to work as a photographer for Harper's Bazaar, living intermittently in Paris and London. In Paris, he was close to a broad circle of artists, including Pablo Picasso and surrealists such as Max Ernst.[1] He also met Theodora Rosling with whom he lived together for four years, moving to England just before the beginning of the war.[3] In England, he became close friends with Francis Bacon.[1]
