William Crozier è cresciuto a Glasgow e ha trascorso un periodo a Parigi e Dublino prima di stabilirsi a Londra, dove si è guadagnato la reputazione di equivalente anni Cinquanta di uno "Young British Artist" grazie al successo e alla notorietà delle sue mostre di assemblaggi e dipinti all'ICA. Profondamente influenzato dalla filosofia esistenziale del dopoguerra, Crozier si allea consapevolmente con l'arte contemporanea europea per tutti gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, piuttosto che con gli astrattisti di New York. Era un maestro del colore e anche un artista del bianco e nero. Book.

She wrote at first hand about the Great Hunger in Ireland in the 1840s. She observed the famine as she distributed bibles, food and clothing. Nicholson was born in Chelsea in Vermont in 1792. Her family were members of the Protestant Congregation Church and this was the source for her given name. She trained and became a successful teacher in her hometown before she married a man with three children and went to New York. She and her new husband, Mr. Nicholson, became interested in the diets recommended by Sylvester Graham. In the 1840s they opened boarding houses that offered the vegan diet proscribed by Graham. Amongst her guests were Irish immigrants and she was intrigued by their accounts of Ireland. In May 1844, she left New York for Ireland and when she arrived she walked around Ireland visiting every County but one. She noted that people lacked work and they relied almost entirely on their crops of potatoes. She left for Scotland in August having observed Ireland just before the outbreak of the Irish Famine. She returned in 1846 during the second crop failure which together with high unemployment was creating a national disaster. Nicholson was concerned that she would just have to witness the suffering but she wrote to the New York Tribune and The Emancipator in New York and assistance from their readers was organised. In the following July five barrels of corn arrived from New York although it has been noted that on the same ship there was 50 barrels for the Central Relief Committee, but Nicholson preferred to go it alone. She wrote at first hand about the Great Hunger in Ireland in the 1840s. She observed the famine as she distributed bibles, food and clothing. Nicholson died in Jersey City in 1855.
