In his childhood, became a gardening fan, that was a great influence in their work,filled with floral motifs. He sought to break with the ways of the past, rejecting the Victorian style replacing it for another style more rationalist and modernist that turned into an style full of simplicity and geometric shapes with stripped surfaces.In the late 1970s, his home and studio in Glasgow was rebuilt and became a museum where his work is exhibited. |
