 Guardian | Nicholas Horsfield
The long-established, exuberant and sometimes anarchic Merseyside art world is quite separate and distinct from that of London, and Nicholas Horsfield, who has died aged 88, was one of its most talented and influential members, although, by birth, he was a southerner.
A painter's painter, with roots firmly in European figurative art, he absorbed the influence of others, notably in his Normandy paintings of the 1950s and 1960s, which owe a debt to Nicolas de Stael; Walter Sickert, like Horsfield a constant visitor to Dieppe, was another influence, but Horsfield soon found a voice of his own.
A member of the Liverpool Academy of Art from 1954, and its president from 1960 to 1965, Horsfield was also a member of the Merseyside Contemporary Artists.

The refubishment was done in a Neo-Grec style this was a main characteristisc of early 20th century architecture in Liverpool which seemed to tie it in more closly to Glasgow or the United States rather than the rest of England.
Professor Charles Reilly of the Liverpool School of Architecture was the main influence in the design of the building and work is so consistent that it seems more than probable he had a hand in its overall creation.
