Come and explore John Craxton in Chichester and enjoy a splash of Greek Sunshine! 

Afternoon George; I watched this yesterday and it brightened up a wet day! I knew nothing about John Craxton until now; many thanks. I have been visiting Pallant House a couple of times a year since I discovered it in 2012; by way of the Lucian Freud exhibition at the NPG. David Dawson: working with Freud; was on at the same time so I ventured down there. Have you ever been to the Watts Gallery? the Photographs from the Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy; ends this weekend. Keep up the good work.

What a delight! He did the covers for Patrick Leigh Fermor whose work I treasure. I sense some affinity with Modligiani in a strange way, as well as El Greco! I had no idea this rare individual existed until I found your vlog. Thank you! Perhaps a minor talent but one who traveled far from the usual,haunts Also read Norman Douglas 'SouthWind' re Mediterranean sailors!

It's interesting how identifiable art is to a certain era and style. these works could easily blend into an exhibition of early/mid 20thC Australian artists, e.g. Arthur Boyd, Joy Hester, Sidney Nolan, John Perceval, Albert Tucker, Danila Vassilieff from the Heide school, and others who broke free from 'traditionally acceptable' realistic impressionism and fought to foist modernism into an extremely staid and under educatged society. It was almost de rigueur for artists - who could afford it - to travel to Britain and France to expand their artistic consciousness. It is highly likely they would have rubbed shoulders with Craxton.

There's something likable about his work

Was not familiar with this artist. I was thinking of Marsden Hartley when looking at the work. I wonder if they knew each other? I see parallels in their work and life.
