My life partner, Alison Oldham, who has died aged 77, was a writer, journalist, subtitler and researcher specialising in the mid-20th century visual arts and literature of Cornwall.
In 1999 Alison was appointed as research fellow for two consecutive years at Tate St Ives Falmouth College of Arts, interviewing writers and artists from the postwar period, including Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Ilse Barker, Norman Levine and Terry Frost.
