    AN ARTIST, photographer, furniture maker, gardener, musician and gastronome, Michael Wickham was an inspired ``Jack-of-all-arts''. He had a huge visual influence on the designer Sir Terence Conran, and made furniture for Conran's Habitat shop in the Fulham Road, when it opened in 1964.

    Michael Whalley Wickham was educated at Marlborough College and studied portrait and landscape painting at the Royal Academy. He then lived with an artistic community near Cassis, with the painter Braque and the sculptor Varda. In 1938 he took part in the Mass Observation scheme, a social survey of Bolton, carried out under the direction of Tom Harrisson by artists and poets such as Julian Trevelyan and Stephen Spender. He had already joined the Communist Party and he remained a member until 1956 when the Soviet tanks entered Hungary.
