Brian Perrin - Printmaker

Does anyone know anything about the printmaker, Brian Perrin?

Google isn't being much help on this one. Any information greatly appreciated.

This piece is by him...

No, I'm afraid it's probably me. Again. Technology and I don't make natural bedfellows. Will try again...

Only just noticed this thread but here is some information about Brian Perrin.

He was born in 1932 in Streatham, South London and works in watercolour as well as etching. Initially trained at Croydon School of Art and then went to the Royal College of Art in 1951-4 where he won the Rome Scholarship.

He seems to have spent much of his working life teaching at art colleges such as Ealing, Hornsey, Royal College and was head of printmaking at Wimbledon after that.

He is a Senior Fellow of the RE (Royal Society of Painter/Etchers and Engravers).

His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum in New York; Library of Congress in Washington; Glasgow University; Leeds City Art Gallery; Victoria & Albert Musuem and the British Council.

So not bad eh?

Thanks for this post. All good to know - quite a coincidence too, as I live in Streatham!!

thats great - is it a print? or original? I love his work!

hi... it's an original... i'm not sure of the edition size - but it's 3 of something... and it's dated 1964.

wow - so £375.00 unframed!!!!
I would love it, even if I didnt know the price.

Is it the same size as the one on the web site?

No, it's slightly larger. Approx 50 x 65cms... I've messaged the gallery for further info

The " Macbeth" one is beautiful
