Artist: Peter Downing   

Title: 'Abstract' - (original signed lithograph - mounted but unframed)

Description: Peter A Downing (born 1926) was a painter and printmaker, who studied at Leeds College of Art and then at the Royal College of Art, London.  He lived near Morecambe Bay in Lancashire and taught art at Preston Polytechnic (now the University of Central Lancashire), retiring in 1984. He exhibited several works at the Royal Academy from 1951, and showed widely, including at the Bradford Print Biennale and with an Arts Council Touring exhibition. His work is held in the National Gallery of Australia.  

The present example is an original abstract lithograph hand signed, dated (19)62 and annotated 'Artist's Proof'.  It shows an interesting development in his work from the figurative etchings, aquatints and lithographs Downing produced during the 1950s.  This lithograph measures about 16 x 24 inches image size. It is in good condition, with very fresh colours, not all of which are picked up by our camera, although it has been laid down on a board and the mount (original we think) has suffered some damage to the lower right corner (please see image 3)...
