My husband, Brian Elliott, who has died aged 85, was an artist whose creativity celebrated the pleasure of seeing and perception, and whose painting radiated an intense delight in and boundless enthusiasm for life. His work evolved from early Constructivist forms through abstract triptychs to large figurative images.
He had entered the Slade School of Fine Art in London in 1956, and with his brother, Michael, subsequently set up a studio and print room in Kennington, where he began an intense study of screenprinting techniques. By 1964 he had had an invitation from Ian Jenkins, the Slade secretary, to establish a screenprinting department at the school, which led to Brian taking up the post of lecturer there for the next five and a half years. In 1969 the Oxford University Press published his book Silk-Screen Printing.
