John Craxton died, aged 87, on 17 November, 2009. He first visited Greece in 1946.
The two paintings ilustrated come from the website www.waterman.co.uk.
Greek Sailors Dancing (reminds me a little of works by Yannis Tsarouchis, 1910-1989) and Greek Boy with a Sheep, reveal his attachment to Greece (and to Crete, in particular).
