I think she was the frist modern painter whose works I knowingly encountered, as the engineering block at the college at which my father taught had some of the 1960s black and white prints on the walls, and I used to stand and look at them in fascination.
I've seen one of her large wall-paintings in the Egyptian tomb colours live, though there was a good TV documentary on her shift to colour quite some years back, and I've always wanted to see more - and, to be honest, we don't get many good art shows in the Coventry area; they tend mostly to be the Massey Ferguson Painters Group's annual exhibition of bad Contstablealikes.
