PATRICK PROCKTOR, ART & LIFE
FREE
Ian Massey will be discussing his new book, the first fully comprehensive retrospective account of Procktor's life & work - 'PATRICK PROCKTOR, ART & LIFE' - which has been published by Unicorn Press to rave reviews.
Ian is an artist and senior lecturer in the Communication Arts & Design Dept. at the University of Huddersfield.
Forever in the shadow of his great friend David Hockney (they were known as 'the dandy twins of the art world'), artist & printmaker Patrick Procktor died, lonely and alcoholic, in obscurity in 2003. Yet, at the height of his fame during the 1960s,he was as famous as Hockney, whom he had met whilst still at art school - he at the Slade, Hockney at the more experimental Royal College of Art.
Flamboyant and controversial, in his prime 6ft 6in Procktor was an unmissable figure on the bohemian party circuit. Greatly loved by his friends who included Lord Snowdon, Princess Margaret, the photographer Cecil Beaton, the director Derek Jarman & the designers Ossie Clark & Celia Birtwell, he was outrageous and always entertaining. He painted many of the cultural icons he partied with - Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix and the playwright Joe Orton, whose portrait by Procktor now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.

OUTeverywhere member organiser
This event has been added to the OUTeverywhere calendar by Jon E from Cheadle in the Gtr Manchester area.
Looking to meet new mates and maybe more. Very good sense of humour, like movies and pop culture, esp 70s thrillers. I'm quite shy at first (who isn't?!) but friendly and down to earth. But I don't have time for nonsense...too much of that on here
