Students loved John

So sad to hear of John Molyneux’s passing. He was such an inspirational person to so many art students during his time at The Eldon Building at Portsmouth Uni. He fanned the flames of my love of Rembrandt, revolution, and Pre-Raphaelite art.

Many fond memories of the lectures he gave, invoking discussion, debate, and free-thinking (and many a wonderful exchange of views between him and Stuart Gard!) Although I never worked up the courage to tell John how much I appreciated his influence, I’m certain I won’t be the only ex-student in thanking him for what he did for us.

Such drive and passion. I hope he knew how much we loved him.
