Yes, even though Craxton was famous in his time, he kinda faded from memory, a bit like the "Two Roberts" who where his contemporaries. John is better know in the Aegean countries like Turkey and Greece with regular exhibitions.

Great selection-Cadmas and Tsarouchis are favorites! I would also nominate John Craxton-he was thrown out of Greece in 1967 as they thought he was a foreign spy. He joked that the reality was, he just had a thing for sailors,and greek conscript saliors in particular! Very much evident in his work 😁

Belated Merry Chtistmas - thanks for all the art and artists you have showcased over the year. Some of my favorites, but many that are new to me, and I am particularly thankful for that!

Fantastic exhibition, well done and thank you! Theirs is a story that needs to be remembered. I've just got your book too, looking forward to it 🙂
