| Dame Walker (1861-1951) was born in Edinburgh, trained at The Putney School and Slade School, studied with Whistler. She was obviously influenced by her contemporary impressionists. She was knighted in 1943 and studied at the Westminster School under Fred Brown and James Whistler. Walker was known for her portraits of female sitters, her seascapes, and her floral paintings -- all in a style that owed much to Impressionism. She attended the Ridley School of Art and Putney School of Art. After a private study trip through Spain and France, where she was impressed by the work of Velásquez and Manet, she studied briefly at the Westminster School of art with Fred Brown, then in 1892, transfered to the Slade School of Fine Art. She also studied part-time with Walter Sickert and with James Havard Thomas, he sculptor, and possibly even Whistler. Although she had begun exhibiting at RA in 1898 and at the NEAC two years later, she did not have her first one-man show until 1927 at the Redfern Gallery. She became Dame Ethel Walker in 1943. her work is in many public collections, including the Tate gallery, which holds a wide range of her pictures. She lived in London. | ||
