  Concurrent with his teaching at the Slade in the fifties, Vaughan’s own work became grander in conception. He began to produce a formality reminiscent of Easter Island figures or the abstracted shapes from the Cycladics. The changes in his style and technique can only be appreciated when his work is displayed in chronological order, as it will be at Olympia. It is easy to associate his name with one of his periods, and not see that in each phase he took his technical expertise and aesthetic sensibility to a new and different plain.
