Description: This is the first published work on the paintings of English artist Alfred Stockham. Born in London in 1933, Stockham spent seven years in the Royal Navy, in family tradition studying at Camberwell followed by the Royal College of Art under Peter Blake, and others gaining a Silver Medal. He was a Rome Scholar and Grenada Arts Fellow at the University of York. In 1968 he joined Bristol Polytechnic (now the University of the West of England) as a lecturer going on to become Head of Fine Art. Elected a member of the Royal West of England Academy in 1988, he acted as Honorary Curator of their permanent collection. Witty, gregarious and generous, he has helped and influenced fellow artists from David Inshaw to Stewart Geddes.
