The Cathedral which caused controversy. Coventry Cathedral was designed by Sir Basil Spence (inset), with a flat roof and zigzag walls, much to the dismay of many.

  • Artist Biography
    John R Keay; UK
    Artist who contributed to the 'This Made Headlines' and 'Dateline' series which appeared on the inside front cover of Look and Learn in the late 1970s.

    Keay had a highly distinctive style, achieving an unusual smoothness of texture in his illustrations, both in colour and black and white. He usually signed his pictures “Keay”. Keay was represented by John Martin & Artists and also illustrated books, including Kings of Israel by David Kent (1981).

    John Keay is not to be mistaken for Jack Keay (qv) who also contributed to Look and Learn.
