Gordon House:
Gordon House (1932-2004) was born in Pontardawe, South Wales and was
well known as a printmaker, painter, and designer. His family moved
to Hertfordshire when he was young and he studied art at Luton, then
St Albans, and later worked under an ecclesiastical sculptor,
Theodor Kern. He embarked on a career in the 1950s as a graphic
designer and by the end of the decade was exhibiting his paintings
in solo shows in London. His reputation grew rapidly in the 1960s
and in addition to his exhibited work he was commissioned to design
album covers for The Beatles and later for Wings. His paintings and
prints were shown at numerous major exhibitions internationally,
including the Royal Academy, the London Group, Redfern Gallery,
Carnegie Institute, Brooklyn Museum, Waddington Galleries, etc, and
are held in many public collections including the Victoria and
Albert Museum, British Council, Tate Gallery, and the Contemporary
Art Society.
