Alistair Grant I

Alistair Grant (1925-1997) was born in London, but as his mother was French he spent his childhood in Etaples, Nord-Pas-de-Calais. During his life he returned regularly to the family home there. Alistair taught printmaking at the Royal College of Art from 1955, and became head of the department in 1970. He was a highly influential printmaker and his work is held by the Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and extensively in the Government Art Collection.
