| Artist, born in Bruges, NW Belgium. He was apprenticed to William Morris for four years, and then went to sea and travelled widely. Although he excelled in many media, particularly in etching, he was most famous for his vigorously coloured murals, such as his ‘British Empire Panels’ (1925, Swansea Guildhall). In 1936 a Brangwyn Museum was opened in Bruges. |
