EDWARD WESSON 1910-1983 SIGNED OIL ON BOARD ABINGER HAMMER SURREY
Edward Wesson 1910 - 1983
Abinger Hammer (Surrey)
Oil on Board signed at bottom right
46 x 56cm
Nice quality oil painting of the High St in a quiet Surrey village by the listed artist Edward Wesson. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition.
Edward Wesson was born in Blackheath, London, spending much of his life in Kent. He was self-taught, and generally disparaging of art schools; however, he himself taught – both formal courses and through evening demonstrations to art societies. He served in the Second World War, in Sicily and mainland Italy, managing to develop his technique even under campaign conditions. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour (RI), the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), and the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA), besides exhibiting at the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. He was influenced, amongst others, by Eugène Boudin.
He produced commercial art designs, notably artwork for greetings cards, travel posters of scenery for British Rail and designs for the Post Office Savings Bank; he wrote articles for The Artist and Leisure Painter, and produced an autobiography, My corner of the field, in 1982. An award in his name is offered at its annual exhibition by the Royal Society of British Artists.
Works in public collections include River meadow landscape (Guildford House Gallery); High force on the Tees and Richmond from the river (both British Railways Poster Artwork, York, National Railway Museum).
