Biography

Sir Gordon Howard Eliott Hodgkin CH CBE (6 August 1932 – 9 March 2017) was a British painter and printmaker. His work is most often associated with abstraction. (…)

His prints were hand-painted etchings and he worked with the master printer Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop.[22]

A feature of his painting was that he made the frame intrinsic to the work “incorporated physically into the painting as part of its making, or created as an illusion to give definition to his subject.”
