Short Bio I promise

• born in 1937
• student in the Royal College of Art
• achieved international success by the time he was
  in his mid-20s
• His early paintings, often almost jokey in mood,
  gained him a reputation of leading Pop artist,
  although he himself rejected the label
• By 1961 he had done his first Tea Paintings and
  Love Paintings, painted compositions consisting
  of consumer goods images and psychograms. More
  than any others, these pictures showed his
  proximity to Pop Art.
• He Taught at University of Iowa, University of
  Colorado, and the University of California,
  Berkeley
• Hes had numerous exhibitions around the world
• In the 1980s he has experimented much with
  photography, creating what are called joiners

In 1999 he published a book the Secret
Knowledge, that tells how the great masters of
the past, such as Caravaggio, Velázquez, van
Eyck, Holbein, Leonardo and Ingres, got the
ultra-lifelike details in their painting using
optical devises such as the Camera Obscura and
Lucidia
