John Piper (1903-1992) St James the Less, Westminster Screenprint 65 x 49 cm From the 'Retrospect of Churches' series, numbered 24/70. John Piper CH was an English painter, printmaker, and designer of stained-glass windows. His work often focused on the British landscape, especially churches and monuments, and included tapestry designs, book jackets, screen-prints, photography, fabrics and ceramics. A Retrospect of Churches was issued as a suite of 24 original colour lithographs in colour, in an edition of 75 copies. This poignant and dramatic representation of St James the Less is an evocative depiction of this part of London in the evening: wet pavements reflect the bright lights of the buildings, and the church is a warm, moody reddish-purple against the deep black of a dark night.

John Piper Chiesa Della Salute Venice Screenprint Textile 1959 Sanderson
By John Piper
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
JOHN PIPER CH (BRITISH,1903-1992) :CHIESA DELLA SALUTE, VENICE Screenprinted fabric, printed by Sandersons, 1959 In the late 1950's to the early 60's there was interest in painterly textiles that demonstrated the unique potential of screen printing, with its ability to capture the quality of brush-stroked colour "The monumental grandeur of many artists' textiles in the early 1960's was necessary if they were to work in the large scale architectural interiors of the era which witnessed a rapid growth in new public buildings, all which required furnishing with suitably prestigious fabrics". The painterly design is one of five fabrics designed by John Piper (1902-1993) for A Century of Sanderson 1860-1960, Sanderson's prestigious Centenary Collection.

He then regularly made paintings of the city, and drew illustrations for an edition of Adrian Stokes...
