Bernard Cheese(Click on Picture for a larger image)

Cheese, who was married to Sheila Robinson and whose daughter Chlöe Cheese is also a printmaker, lived in Great Bardfield in the 1950s. He studied at the Royal College of Art, where he was influenced by Edwin La Dell, and his work often contains the same quirky humour that is also discernible in Edward Bawden’s work

First Prize

His work often carries undertones of humour in much the same way as does Bawden. This lithograph was included in a British Council touring exhibition on British Graphic Art 1450-1956 that was shown in Peking in 1956.
