John Farleigh

[Great Britain] (b 1900/d 1965)


" Farleigh left school at 14 and enlisted as an apprentice at the Artists' Illustrators Agency in London, applying himself to lettering, wax engravings and black and white drawings, intended for advertising. He also attended drawing classes at the Bolt Court School. In 1918 he was drafted into the army and served until peace was declared in November of the same year. He resumed his apprenticeship and was awarded a government grant enabling him to enrol for three years at the London County Council Central School of Arts and Crafts (later the Central School of Art and Design). (..) Between 1922 and 1925 Farleigh was an art teacher at Rugby School, thereafter returning to London and assuming a post at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where he taught antique and still-life drawing and later, illustration. (..) Farleigh was a founder member and chairman of the Crafts Centre of Great Britain. In 1941 the British Council commissioned him to design the title page of the catalogue for the Exhibition of Modern British Crafts. (..) He was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 1937 and a full member in 1948."

    1. Muito Obrigado pelas suas visitas e pelos seus sempre agradáveis comentários.. O meu trabalho não é facil , mas o trabalho que faz no seu blog, pisando tambem terrenos ainda pouco explorados , tambem não..! acredite que já várias vezes pensei deixar comentários nos seus posts, mas como percebo muito pouco de selos Fiscais, acabo sempre por me remeter ao silêncio...
