Robert Tavener (1920-2004) Westminster Abbey (West Front) London Signed and numbered 40/50 Lithograph 69×46 cm c. 1970 Born and brought up in Hampstead, in a family of tailors and glovers, Robert Tavener showed his artistic talent at a young age, mostly through use of chalk on pavements. After leaving school he took a desk job to please his parents rather than following his artistic bent, but was soon called up to serve in the Royal Artillery – 1940. His war service taking him to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day plus three, it then allowed him to study for eight months after the war ended at Gottingen University in the arts and crafts faculty. Studying at Hornsea College of Art specialising in lithography he additionally obtained a teaching diploma. Posts at Medway College of Art in Rochester and St Martin’s School of Art in London were followed by Eastbourne College of Art and Design where he became Head of Printmaking. Tavener’s own prints were produced on his 1882 Albion Press in his studio at home, and largely focused on the English countryside and architecture. “My subject matter is a personal interpretation of the richness, variety, beauty, and the underlying relationship with the past, of our landscape and building. His architectural output focused on pictures of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as the great cathedrals and Wren’s city churches. Much of his work went to public institutions, both in the UK and USA.

Walter Hoyle (1922 - 2000) King's College, Cambridge (Cambridge Series 1956 - 66) Linocut 56 x 43 cm Signed and inscribed A/P in pencil. Possibly unique. Hoyle's view of King's College, Cambridge, with a slice of blue sky behind. Hoyle trained at Beckenham School of Art and the Royal College of Art. At the latter he was strongly influenced by Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest linocut printers. Bawden had been commissioned by the 1951 Festival of Britain to produce a mural for the South Bank, and chose Hoyle to assist on account of his great talent. Hoyle moved to Great Bardfield in Essex, becoming a part of the Great Bardfield group of artists; diverse in style, they created figurative work, in stark contrast to the abstract art of the St Ives artists at the opposite end of the country. Hoyle taught at St Martin’s School of Art from 1951-60, the Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1960-64, and the Cambridge School of Art from 1964...
