Born into a peasant family in Cyprus in 1933, Paraskos went to England to work as a waiter in a Greek restaurant. There he met a group of artists from Leeds College of Art who persuaded him to join their college. Paraskos never looked back, going on to be a celebrated artist and educator. He became Head of Painting at the University for Creative Arts, and founder of the Cyprus College of Art, the first art college in his homeland of Cyprus. This book places Paraskos in context and deals with major events in his life, including the notorious trial in Leeds, in 1966, when he was prosecuted for obscenity following an exhibition of his paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Paraskos,David Haste,Norbert Lynton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0954452356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780954452353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orage Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.12d","brand":"Michael Paraskos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473956126975,"sku":"9780954452353","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76c01030-b6fb-4602-991d-b9519eaca77c.jpg?v=1762314030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stass-paraskos-michael-paraskos-9780954452353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
