Newton, Algernon

Biographical notes:

Algernon Newton (1880-1968) was born in London and studied at Clare College, Cambridge, then at Frank Calderon's School of Animal Painting, at the Slade and at the London School of Art. He exhibited at the RA from 1903 (becoming an ARA in 1936 and an RA in 1943). He was invalided out of the army in 1916. Newton's first solo show was at the Leicester Galleries in 1931. He worked in Cornwall and Yorkshire, however, he was best known for his topographical city scenes of London (often at twilight) in oils.
