Description
λ Alistair Grant (British 1925-1997)Etaples Evening Mixed media and collage on paper Titled (verso)57.5 x 78cm (22½ x 30½ in.)Unframed Born to an English father and French mother, Grant spent much of his childhood in Étaples along the northern French coast. It was a spot that he would return to time and again and a constant source of artistic inspiration. Grant trained at Birmingham School of Art in the early 1940s, followed by the Royal College of Art in London. In 1955, he took a position teaching printmaking at the Royal College where is became a pioneer in mixed media techniques. Although he was predominately known as a printmaker, he also produced a large body of painted work.Although initially producing representational works, from the mid 1960s, Grant moved firmly towards abstraction. His works are synonymous with bold colour and strong design with expressive painterly brushwork. The Normandy landscape of the north French coast at Le Touquet, Étaples and Boulogne in particular, remained his primary source of inspiration. Bridges, harbours and coastlines jostling and juxtaposing each other in their contrasting shapes.
