Have you heard of him?

     Have you heard of him? Who am I talking about?  Well this artist was born October 16, 1877 and died November 17, 1958.  He was a English painter. He illustrated portraits, historical scenes, etc.  This was described as "the last of the Pre- Raphaelites".  

    His name was Frank Cadogan Cowper.  He was part of the Royal Watercolor Society and the Royal Academy.   He helped with the mural of the House of Parliament in 1910 with  Ernest Board, Henry Arthur Payne, etc. The mediums he mainly worked with were his watercolors and different oils.  He also worked on many different literary artworks as well. 

    His line qualities were mainly soft strokes with high value.  Many of his works were of portraits of women.  I would consider his color choice to be very low key for the most part.  I personally like his style of art.  His artwork know as The Ugly Duckling was voted the favorite painting by visitors of Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum.  So have you heard of him? Well now you have! :)
