Henry Lamb Biography

(b Adelaide, 21 June 1883; d London, 8 Oct 1960). English painter of Australian birth. He was brought up in Manchester, England, where he studied at the Medical School of Owen’s College (from 1903 the Victoria University of Manchester) from 1901 to 1905. He then moved to London where he briefly attended the Chelsea School of Art and the Rossetti Studios in Flood Street, studying painting under William Orpen and Augustus John; he supplemented his small allowance by drawing famous London buildings for the Manchester Guardian . In 1907 and 1911 he studied at La Palette, Paris, under Jacques-Emile Blanche, and spent two summers in Brittany (1910 and 1911). His Breton subjects included Death of a Peasant (1911; London, Tate), a close-up depiction of a woman dying from throat cancer. He made his first visit to Ireland in 1911, later producing such paintings as Irish Girls (1912; London, Tate). Lamb’s work from this period reflects the influence of Gauguin, and his paintings were included in the Second Post-Impressionist exhibition, held at the Grafton Galleries, London (1912). He was also a founder-member of the CAMDEN TOWN GROUP in 1911 and of the LONDON GROUP in 1913.
