Robert Taverner - Artist

Robert Taverner (1920-2004) was born in London and after war service, he studied art at Hornsey College, specialising in lithography. He became head of printmaking at Eastbourne College of Art and Design and continued to teach part time after retiring in 1980. He was a senior fellow of the Royal Society of Painter/Printmakers and exhibited widely including at Royal Academy. His lithographic style is instantaneously recognisable and he is probably best known for these prints. However, he also painted in watercolour, usually landscapes, of which this is one.
