Though they still spent part of the year in England, the West Cork landscape became the stimulus for much of Crozier’s best work. Always a bold colourist, he responded to the surrounding environmental richness with zeal, simpli- fying and concentrating the essential elements so that his compositions are almost like stage-sets in which plants and objects have a radiant intensity. €15,000-25,000 (£13,043-21,739)
