abstract compositions (sometimes in low relief), landscape and still-life. He is a relatively important
English artist who was influenced by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth whom he was married to for
13 years. He was recognized in his lifetime, having solo shows at the Tate as well as winning many prizes
for his paintings. We have one work in the collection and there are about 50 other examples in other
Canadian public collections, most of them are with the NGC.
