| Biography |
|
The association of sea and countryside has been a continuing influence
on both my life and my work. As a painter, the landscape, both
representationally and in abstraction, has remained an important
inspiration. My realisation, during the course of a long life,
that the straightforward representation of a visual experience rarely,
if ever, offers the full quality and variety that it contains, has led
to the simplification and abstraction characterised in my later works. I
have not devoted my life exclusively to painting, sculpture and design
but it will be apparent from biographic details that they have been the
thread binding my activities and my return to concentration upon
painting is my last, as it was my first, motivation. I have also written
over twenty books on art and architectural subjects, acted as director
of publishing the Hamlyn Group and formed my own publishing company. |
