In the 1950s Peter Baer made prints at Swedish Modernist printmaker Birgit Skiöld’s Print Workshop in Charlotte Street. He went on to work for the Curwen Press and became an influential and inspirational teacher of printmaking at Hammersmith (later Chelsea) School of Art (1970–1989). Walking About demonstrates his inventive transformation of the urban landscape through the medium of print.
