David Aspden b. 1 May 1935

  • Artist (Painter)
The largely self-taught painter, David Aspden, established his reputation in the 1960s by painting lyrically beautiful abstracts. In the context of the time, they were sometimes described as landscapes but often their forms were determined by his response to music, often jazz.
