Frederick Etchells Biography

(b Newcastle upon Tyne, 14 Sept 1886; d Folkestone, 16 Aug 1973). English painter and architect. He studied at the Royal College of Art from c. 1908 to 1911, before renting a studio in Paris where he met Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Amedeo Modigliani. Roger Fry invited him to submit a design for a large-scale mural scheme for the Borough Polytechnic, London, in 1911 and included his work in the Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition (London, Grafton Gals, 1912). He had already collaborated with Duncan Grant on a mural for Virginia Woolf’s house in Brunswick Square. In the autumn of 1913 Etchells joined the OMEGA WORKSHOPS; disillusioned with Fry, he joined Wyndham Lewis, whose interest in Cubism and Futurism he shared, in walking out of the Omega. They exhibited with other emergent Vorticists in the ‘Cubist Room’ section of the Camden Town Group and Others exhibition in Brighton (December 1913–January 1914).
