Peter Nuttall was a student of Elisabeth Frink’s in the Sculpture School at Maidstone College of Art. George Steiner writes of the artist: “There are some obvious things to be said about the very personal art of Peter Nuttall. It is related to Surrealism, to the lucid inner landscapes and echoing cities of de Chirico. It is also a baroque art in the proper sense, the monumental line holding – but just holding – under pressure of tensed, exuberant form. [...] He is attempting to give to the human body the taut repose of rock and burnt earth” (G. Steiner in Peter Nuttall: Paintings , Fieldbourne Galleries, London (exhibition catalogue), 1972).
