Derrick Latimer Sayer (1917-1992), 'UNIVERSITY OF NATIVE PLEASURE' Signed, inscribed with title and dated '67, mixed media 75 x 50cm; and two others by the same hand, mixed media 57 x 41cm (3) Born in 1917, Derrick Sayer trained at Chelsea School of Art under the aegis of Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland. This was followed by a period at Ben Nicholson's studio in Paris. With the same spirit of co-operative idealism as Nicholson and the St. Ives Group, Sayer founded the Mousehole Group Art School in 1936 in collaboration with George Lamborn and Guy Allen. Sadly, this venture was short-lived, but provided a perfect start that served him well as he put his graphic talent to excellent use for major advertising campaigns, record covers and book illustrations. During the time that he was producing commercial work, he showed with a variety of galleries including the Redfern, Leicester and Storran galleries, receiving thoughtful critical attention.
