Derek Boshier (1937-2024)

David Hockney said of Boshier that he has always kept his sense of wonder.

Derek Boshier appears about 3.30 in this clip from Pop Goes The Easel.

  1. Ron, thanks for all the challenging themes the past couple of months. In the spirit of our recent Thanksgiving holiday, I am grateful to be a member of this collage group as it encourages me to make something I certainly would never have thought of!

    Derek Boshier! Thank you for making me aware of this artist who I never heard of before. I just read his Wikipedia entry and will do a deeper delve into the artist and his work. I have said this before, I always love learning something new on The Kollage Kit.

    1. Same here with Pop Goes the Easel...brilliant documentary by Ken Russell. I liked Boshier's work through the art direction on Bowie's Lodger then The Clash Songbook 2 and more. Thanks for link below, I hope his work continues to be on exhibition.
