Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Craigie Aitchison is one of the most individualistic and highly regarded British artists of his generation. Born in Edinburgh in 1926, the son of an eminent Scottish lawyer, Aitchison studied under Sir William Coldstream at London's Slade College in the early 1950s. It was there that he began developing an intensely personal style of great beauty and serenity, and, during the 1960s, his work won him a passionate following of admirers and collectors.
