Size: 13.7 × 15.2 on 29.4 × 20.7 inches Slight Staining Throughout Trial Proof Hole Punches Top & Bottom Center (see images) Derrick Greaves is one of the most eminent British painters of the last half century. Greaves initially gained acclaim in the 1950s, when he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale along with the other 'Kitchen-Sink' painters with whom he was associated: John Bratby, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith. His work has developed from the social realism of the 1950s to a more heraldic style that paralleled 1960s Pop Art, from an imagery based on nature and observable fact to more studio-bound imaginative constructs. Derrick Greaves is represented by James Hyman Gallery. 1927 Born in Sheffield 1943-48 Apprenticed as a sign-writer 1948-52 Studied at the Royal College of Art 1952-54 Abbey Major Scholarships to study in Italy 1954-64 Taught part-time at St Martin's School of Art, London 1956 Represented Britain at the Venice Biennale (with John Bratby, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith) 1957 Visited USSR.
