Although championed by Stanley Spencer and the poet and critic Herbert Read, Francis Plummer (1930-2019) is a name few will have heard of.
Born in London, Plummer studied art and design at the Woolwich Polytechnic School of Art before training at The Royal Academy Schools between 1949-54. In a mixed career, painting ran parallel to his commercial work, which included illustration work for The National Trust, anatomical illustration for Guy’s Hospital and teaching.
