Craigie Aitchison was a visiting lecturer when I was at Chelsea School of Art. He was always very quiet, gentle and disarming. Like his paintings he gave a sense of being delicate but this belied a strength. Frequently he was accompanied by his Bedlington terrier and the most beautiful models. His work was clear, distinctive and poetic.
