About the artist
Charles Mitchell, also known as Chuck Mitchell (1939-1966), studied printed textiles and lectured at Glasgow School of Art. He worked in a variety of media, and his work often had a fantastic, highly imaginative element. He was a protege of Robert Stewart and exhibited in Scotland and across the UK.
