NOTES Born Birkenhead in1860-died 1942. He was an influential art teacher & painter.Steer spent several summers on the East Coast, at Walberswick and Southwold in Suffolk, making pictures of holidaymakers in the sun. He made rough notes on the spot in sketchbooks, and in the studio made designs for a series of paintings. These were most original in their dislocation of the figures, and their shorthand sketchy outlines and spent more time painting in the countryside rather than on the coast. As a painting tutor at the Slade School of Art for many years he influenced generations of young artists. Exhibited at the R.A. had a major show at the Goupil Gallery in 1889, professor of painting at the Slade School c1893. He was recruited by Lord Beaverbrook to paint in the Great War and mostly naval and coastal scenes, this was probably done for this project. Sold as genuine NOT a copy or some mechanical print.
