A graduate of the Royal College of Art Geoffrey Clarke was one of the few artists in Britain to embrace the practice of co-operation between artist and architect; he worked with the architect goldsmith Louis Osman on at least three projects. Osmam who later went on to design the Prince of Wales investiture crown had great respect for artists including Epstein and Sutherland and used their collaboration in many notable projects.
