Edward Middleditch 1923-1987
Edward Middleditch established himself in the mid 1950s as one of the most powerful young painters and draughtsmen in Britain.
Initially associated with the kitchen sink painters - John Bratby, Derrick Greaves and Jack Smith - he devoted himself chiefly to natural themes. His work over the following decades concentrated principally on the elements, from the weight of a massive hillside to the lightness of sun dancing on water or darting through foliage. It became increasingly abstract and stylised, inspired by kilims and Persian carpets, and even used stencilling to create a patterned, decorative response to nature.The Estate of Edward Middleditch is represented by James Hyman Gallery.
