‘My philosophy is that printmakers should be artists as well as printmakers …'
For 35 years Alistair Grant, the Royal College of Art and Printmaking were indivisible: 35 generations of artists learnt printmaking from him. Yet throughout his life Grant was as well-known an artist as a teacher. He was a painter and a printmaker of considerable ability, and in his printmaking, he was a great experimentalist. He fused media - lithography with silk-screen, silk-screen with etching and often all three together.
