Brian Sewell (1931–2015)

Acerbic art critic Brian Sewell was born in London in 1931, and attended the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, where his tutors included Anthony Blunt, Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, who became a close friend. He has been described as Britain’s most famous art critic and he described his first visit to Turkey, about which he wrote in South From Ephesus, as an eye-opener.
