Mark Senior (1862 ~ 1927)
Mark Senior was born at Hanging Heaton near Dewsbury in the old West Riding of Yorkshire. He was educated in Batley and lived at Ossett near Wakefield.
Senior completed his Art training at the Wakefield College of Art, and the Slade School of Art, under Alphonse Legros. He became a member of the British Impressionist Group of Painters, who drew inspiration from the French En Plein Air . They painted with vibrant colours and with fleeting impressions of the natural world and the people in it. Senior is most remembered for his portrayal of the fishing community of Runswick and Staithes. His contemporaries were, Gilbert Foster, Harold and Dame Laura Knight, Frederick William Jackson, James William Booth (who was Senior’s pupil) Owen Bowen, Arthur Friedenson, Frederick William Mayor, Charles Mackie, and Roland Henry Hill who said of Senior, ‘he was one of the men for whom everybody had a great deal of affection and he regularly helped his fellow painters in a practical way’. Mark Senior was certainly entitled to the comparatively rare description of a colourist, for there was never a false note in his colour schemes which to the end of his career grew in richness and the prismatic quality sunlight can give.
During his lifetime Senior achieved recognition in his native Yorkshire and was able to number amongst his friends some of the leading artists of the day such as Philip Wilson Steer, Sir Frank Brangwyn, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Sir George Clausen and William Orpen.
