| biography:
| Artist, born in London, UK. He studied at London, worked mainly as an etcher until 1930, then made his reputation as a painter of Romantic, mainly abstract landscapes. He was an official war artist (1941–5), and later produced several memorable portraits, including ‘Maugham’ (1949), and ‘Beaverbrook’ (1951). His ‘Churchill’ (1955) did not find favour with Lady Churchill and was never seen by the public. He also designed ceramics, posters, and textiles. His large tapestry, ‘Christ in Majesty’, was hung in the new Coventry Cathedral in 1962. |
