WILLIAM CROZIER [1930-2011]

His studio is like an autobiography,” recalls the art historian Katharine Crouan of her late husband, William Crozier. “There were always fresh canvases lined up against the walls – more than he would ever need; tubes of the most expensive continental paints; a new canvas on the easel. All his materials were good to go and Bill approached every new day with this sense of extraordinary optimism.”
