Was not aware of him or his work. I live in Australia and have not been to the UK for 30 years or more. The responses to the article added more charm.

Thank you.

I’ve finally somewhat tracked you down. Hopefully this will actually find its way to you and perhaps you’ll find the time to reply.

I studied under you in Kingston. You mentored me. It was indeed a magical time. You took my entire collection of works for viewing to the Royal Academy as criteria for my admission to the Royal Academy. I was accepted conditionally as long as I was successful at the Byam Shaw.
Alas, my works were stolen from your van, it was a dark time for us both and following I could not get funding from the Canada Council of Arts. It was what it was Tony and you did your best on my behalf. Thank you.

I am so grateful that you are alive and well and continue to paint. You’re in your 90’s and me, my late 60’s. After overcoming many challenging life events, I wanted you to know that as of November 2016, I have begun to paint again. My works have been well accepted. I never lost the passion and love for painting that you instilled and nurtured within me.

You continue to inspire me. Thank you Tony with hugs and love.
Patrick

This is Nicholas Wade who was in an art History class which you taught in Kingston Ontario
in 1971.
Between yourself, Brad Holland, Robert van de Peer, and David Perkins, I was convinced that art could be a career. Dennis Allen and I saw you in London in 1972 and were delighted to be able to visit you in a pub in south London.
I am happy to have had the benefit of my encounters with such a dedicated painter. and
one who’s voice and message carries all the sensibility of a complex and delicate experience of
life , looking, and response.all the best to you in the future.

Nicholas

Mary and I went to Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario together and took our first trip to England together where Mary met Tony.

In our family we have two of Tony’s big paintings from that time. Ours is of the white church with the Marx Library in the foreground and our son’s, which did belong to Franki Kennedy, is of the garden at the Brixton house. Both were bought from Tony himself at Brixton Road.

We would like to get in touch personally with Tony or Jane but have no email address and have forgotten the Brixton Road one. It has been more than 50 years!

Please send me either an email or street address so that we can correspond.

Sincerely,
Donna E. Maas

Thanks so much for bringing it to everyone’s attention, I have to admit to my ignorance at not being aware of Anthony’s work in this area. I am so glad I chose to click on your link!!
I am covering the area artistically myself at present and its great to see other interpretations of a very special and unique place. Can see Anthony really gets the uniqueness also.
Thanks again, I look forward to your mails now I am a subscriber.

I was collecting a pastel from the Mall gallery last spring and on my way home to Suffolk, when I spotted you doing a drawing in Liverpool St station. You were perfectly charming to talk too and invited me to your show at Chris Dyson the architects.
I took my father along to see your exhibition and it was truly superb. To see such painterly expressive paintings was a joy, and I thank you for what was a memorable start of a day with my father.
Kind regards,
Pandora Butterfield
