Artist Profile

Anthony Dyson

Anthony Dyson is an artist, teacher and art historian. He received his training as an artist at Blackburn 
School of Art, qualified as a teacher 
at Leeds College of Art and gained 
a Doctorate at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, for his thesis on the 19^th-century engraving trade in London.

In his work as a painter and printmaker he specialises in still-life and townscape. He works both in relief
print (colour linocut and woodcut) and
in intaglio (etching and aquatint). He
has exhibited at the Royal Academy since he was a student in the 1950s, when his work was also chosen by the then Arts Council of Great Britain for its Young 
Contemporaries touring exhibition.

His work is in public and private collections in Britain (in, for instance, the Science Museum and the University of London), the United States and Norway. Recent projects have included the production of portfolios of prints on the themes of jazz musicians and images of Venice; and between 1990 and 2000 he designed, etched and published the annual Calendarium Londinensis, a project originally launched in 1903. He is currently working on a commission to produce etchings of London’s historic Borough Market and on a new set of Venetian subjects.

Another important aspect of his work, in recognition of which he was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, is the hand-
printing of portfolios of etchings by prominent British and French artists.
