Eric Slater

Eric Brindley Slater (1896 – 13 March 1963) was an English printmaker. Born in Hampstead, London, Slater had an international reputation as a colour woodcut artist in the 1920s and 1930s. He was known for his beautifully observed skies and often drew inspiration from the South Downs and the coastline near his home in Seaford, East Sussex. Slater attended the Hastings School of Art and his work was highly regarded during his relatively short career. He was a member of the Society of Graver Printers in Colour and the Society of Print Makers of California. Slater's prints were exhibited in various countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
