From 'Ten Wren Churches'
St Augustine's Watling Street was first recorded in the 12th century, destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666 and then rebuilt as part of Christopher Wren's rebuilding of London. During the Second World War it was again destroyed, and the tower - restored in 1954 - is now a part of St Paul's Cathedral Choir School.
Richard Beer enrolled at the Slade in 1945, when Lucien Freud, Graham Sutherland and Keith Vaughan were teaching there, before moving to Paris in 1950 where he continued his studies under Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 and at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1955 he began designing theatrical sets and costumes, notably for John Cranko's 'The Lady and the Fool' at Covent Garden, and for the Deutsches Oper in Berlin and the Staatsteater Stuttgart.
This background in design may be behind the flattened planes, subtle atmospheric colours and striking architectural compositions of his prints. In 1970 Beer collaborated with John Betjeman to produce a folio of prints entitled 'Ten Wren Churches' published by Editions Alecto. Since 1973 his prints have been published by Christie's Contemporary Art and he also receiveded commissions from London Transport. He travelled frequently to Europe, particularly to Italy where this Venetian café scene was conceived.
Beer taught printmaking at the Chelsea School of Art, the Slade and the British School at Rome and was a founding member of the Printmaker's Council. His works are included in the collection of the Tate and the Government Art Collection.
