| Painter, born in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, SW Wales, UK. He studied in London and Paris, and made an early reputation with his etchings (1900–14). His favourite themes were gypsies, fishing folk, and naturally regal women, as in ‘Lyric Fantasy’ (1913); and he painted portraits of several political and artistic contemporary figures, such as Shaw, Hardy, and Dylan Thomas. |
