Lifelong friends with David Hockney, Norman Stevens was described as "one of the most particular and distinguished painters and printmakers of his generation" by William Packer. His prizewinning prints were the focus of solo exhibitions at the Arnolfini and Tate during the 1970s, and a posthumous retrospective was held at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2014.
