GEORGE EDMUND BUTLER, Southampton 1872 – 1936 Twickenham. The Scyther. This monotype, c1911, is for sale priced £250

 

GEORGE EDMUND BUTLER
Southampton 1872 – 1936 Twickenham

Though Butler’s parents emigrated to New Zealand in 1883 and Butler grew up and had his first art training in Wellington, most of his subsequent years, from the age of twenty-six, were spent in England.

He returned to Europe in 1898, working his passage as a stoker to save money for his studies. In the next couple of years he attended the Lambeth School of Art in London; the Académie Julian in Paris; and the Academy Antwerp.

Except for a five-year return visit to New Zealand with his young English wife, 1900-1905, Butler settled permanently in England; he and his wife making their home in Bristol. Butler taught at Clifton College.

He was elected to the Royal West of England Academy in 1912 and successfully exhibited oils and watercolours, both portraits and landscapes. Though not known as a printmaker, he was obviously moved to try monotype, as this interesting little print from c1911 witnesses.

Monotype is the most painterly of all printing techniques, the ink manipulated directly on the surface of the plate and able to be printed by hand pressure, thus not necessarily requiring specialist printmaking equipment.

In 1918 Butler would be commissioned by the New Zealand Expeditionary Force as an official war artist, and was sent to France to join the New Zealand Division, observing and sketching military operations in the last month of the First World War and after the Armistice sketching the various battlefield sites where New Zealanders had fought.

EDGAR HOLLOWAY
Mexborough, near Doncaster 1914 – 2008 Ditchling

The Holloway family moved south from Doncaster to Nazeing in Essex, a few miles from Waltham Abbey, in May 1931, to give their precocious young son easy access to the opportunities afforded by London. This colour linocut is a visual record of this move.

Having had his first one-man exhibition of etchings at the XXI Gallery, early in 1932 the family moved closer to London, to Harrow.
