Sir William Coldstream Biography

(b belford, northumb., 28 feb 1908; d london, 18 feb 1987). english painter and draughtsman. he moved to london as a small child with his family and for reasons of health studied privately, intending to become a doctor like his father. gradually, however, he became interested in drawing and painting, which led him to study at the slade school of fine arts in london from 1926 to 1929. in the latter year he exhibited with both the new english art club and the london group, to which he was elected a member in 1934. in the works that he painted during this period, such as the table (1932; bristol, mus. & a.g.) and studio interior (1932–3; london, tate), he demonstrated his cultivation of a sober and measured representational style applied to prosaic domestic subject-matter and to the human figure.
