George Wright was a British painter best known for his equestrian and sporting scenes.
His younger brother Gilbert Scott Wright was also a well respected sporting artist and his sister Louise was a pioneer of fashion art, illustrating for Harrod's fur catalogues and Vogue Magazine.
In the early 1900’s, Wright moved around England finally settling in Oxford in 1908. He worked under commission for Grand Central Galleries in New York and Ackermanns in the U.K., a leading publisher of prints at that time. As well as commercial galleries, Wright exhibited six times at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool and thirty-three times at the Royal Academy in London.
In 1929, he settled in Richmond, Surrey with his two children and wife and remained there until his retirement in 1939. George Wright passed away in 1942 in Seaford, Sussex.
