Adrian Paul Allinson, RBA ROI LG PS (1890-1959)
Lake Brienz, 1921
Pastel on paper
One of the hugely talented generation of artists to emerge just before the First World War, Adrian Allinson managed to hold his own through both his personality and his work. He became best known as a painter of appealing, stylised landscapes, figure and flower compositions. However, his manifold talents encompassed sculpture, wood carving, pottery, poster design and set design.
In 1919 Adrian Paul Allinson married Adelaide Clark (née Buckland), the widow of the art teacher Forbes Maitland Clark. After their marriage he adopted the fuller name Adrian Paul Allinson. They spent much of the early stages of their marriage in a small Swiss village, inspiring Allinson’s most famous continental landscapes. Allinson also maintained a studio in London at the Thackeray Studios in Fitzroy Square, and gave that as his address when beginning to exhibit at the RA from 1921. The fruits of his Swiss sojourn were shown in 1922 at a solo show at the St George’s Gallery.
