Professor Norbert Lynton
Archbishop Maurice Couve de Murville
Professor Norbert Lynton, who led the Art History subject group in the 1970s and '80s, died at his home in Brighton on 31 October.
Norbert had previously had a long career in teaching and arts administration, culminating in him being Director of Exhibitions for the Arts Council of Great Britain. Under his care the new Hayward Gallery was brought into service and it was under his stewardship that landmark exhibitions such as the great Matisse retrospective came to London in 1970.
He joined Sussex after the departures of the founding fathers of art history at the University - Hans Hess and Quentin Bell - in 1975.
Norbert will be missed by many colleagues and especially by past students to whom he communicated his deep enthusiasms for 20th-century art.
The Most Rev Maurice Couve de Murville, Catholic Chaplain at Sussex from 1961 to 1977, died on 3 November at the age of 78. From 1961-64 he also served as Priest-in-Charge at St Francis, Moulescoomb.
Father Maurice left Sussex in 1977 when he was appointed Catholic Chaplain at Cambridge University, a position he filled until becoming Archbishop of Birmingham in 1982.
After retiring in 1999 Archbishop Maurice lived in Horsham, West Sussex.
