Author Description

"The painter and printmaker Craigie Aitchison CBE RA (1926-2009) is best-known for his spare compositions and intense, luminous palette. His subject-matter is equally distinctive -- single flowers, Bedlington terriers, sheep and crucifixions -- rendered, as in the Italian religious icons that he so admired, in simple but powerful forms. These hallmarks are readily present in Aitchison's prints, most of which are the legacy of his longstanding relationship with the technicians at Advanced Graphics, London."--Publisher's website.
