Graham arrived in New York in late 1975 with wind in his sails—an artist of promise coming to America, the land of promise. He had been trained at Camberwell, then at the Royal School of Art in London before receiving a Rome Prize from the British Academy in Rome that took him to Italy for several years. There he developed the idea of painting the sunrise and sunset, almost as a provocation to others who scoffed at it.
