This original Macbeth inspired lithograph is 1 of 50, produced around 1964 by Edward Hoskins, known more commonly as Ned.
Hoskins was born in Croydon in 1939 but moved up to Yorkshire with his family around 1945. He studied at the Harrogate Art School, then at the Royal College of Art where he worked as a technician for David Hockney and got to know the Rolling Stones. He later worked as a designer and part-time lecturer at West Sussex College of Art, before moving to Buckinghamshire where he lectured at High Wycombe Art College. A fine art fellowship at Southampton University was followed by lecturing in California where he met Andy Warhol – before returning to Brighton to found the Fiveways Artists’ Group.
This limited edition lithograph was produced during his studies, when he was signing as ‘E’ for Edward, instead of Ned which he used from the late 1960s onwards. There is only one other publicly recorded edition of this lithograph in the Government Art Collection, they have noted it was produced in 1964.
Frame measures 65cm x 52cm
Aperture measures 48cm x 35.5cm
