These two lithograph prints by Alan Stuttle were from a trip to England in the 1970s based on the style, the price tags and the other items found at the Estate sale with them. They are wonderful pieces of his work and highlight the depth of detail he incorporates into his work. They are both images of downtown York England with the York Minster cathedral playing center stage in one, and in the background of the other. Every time I look at the pieces, I see something new. The intricate detail of the buildings, signs, pavers, and people is really amazing. The lithograph prints are monochromatic with a wash of pink and yellow. They are both signed in pencil on the bottom right hand corner. Just lovely!

Each of the prints has a simple brown mat, with the Alan Stuttle Gallery stamp on the back cardboard.
They are not framed. They have been kept in plastic sleeves so there condition is very, very nice. One of the prints has come un taped from the mat. The original Pound 3.50 sticker is on the plastic sleeve.

Background on Alan Stuttle:

>> After studying three years at the Stoke on Trent College of Art, Alan was accepted on scholarship to the Royal College of Art London for three years. Following a series of solo exhibitions and recognition from the Royal College, Alan returned to his native Cheshire. He taught at a secondary school before accepting a lectureship at South Cheshire Central College of Art, Crewe where he remained for six years. At the age of 29 he decided to retire from teaching to devote more time to painting as a professional artist.

Travel opened up and he left for California where he won three prizes for his paintings and started on his career as a professional artist. Following many successful exhibitions in and around California, Alan missed the greens and rolling hills of the United Kingdom so decided to return home.

In 1972 he moved to York opening the Alan Stuttle Gallery in Micklegate which was used as a base for travelling around the country painting new subjects for his portfolio. In 1988 he opened a second gallery in Scarborough opening access to the east coast. After painting the historic city of York, the Yorkshire Dales and many towns and villages the English coastline and fresh sea air brought new vibrancy to his art.

Both galleries were very successful. Alan decided to take up a new challenge and travelled again painting around Europe, naturally gravitating towards Italy where he fell in love with the colours, landscapes and culture.
