GWYNNE-JONES, Allan

Gwynne-Jones (1892-1982) was a painter in oil and watercolour and an etcher. In 1913 he exhibited a picture on silk at the NEAC, with which he continued to show for many years. Served with distinction in World War I, then attended the Slade School 1919–22, his studies having been interrupted in 1914. Won several first prizes. Became professor of painting at the Royal College of Art in 1923, about the time he began to hold one-man shows. Resigned to join the Slade staff in 1930, staying there until 1959. During World War II he also taught part-time at the fine art department, University of Reading. Gwynne-Jones’ work is in many public collections in Britain, including the Tate Gallery and Ashmolean Museum, as well as abroad. Memorial exhibition in 1982 at National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.
