Fred Lawson (1888-1968).

A landscape painter. Fred was born at Yeadon, near Leeds. He studied at Dewsbury and Leeds Schools of Art. On a visit to Wensleydale in 1910 with George Graham, they decided to settle there and shared a studio for several years. Fred married the young Muriel Metcalfe of Leyburn in 1933, who was also a painter.

Exhibited at the R.A., R.I. and at numerous exhibitions of Yorkshire artists. Contributed illustrations to The Dalesman from the first issue and for ten years wrote a monthly feature for the magazine. Illustrated several books, including a number by Dorothy Una Ratcliffe.

Travelled in France and Holland, but most of his work depicts the scenery and life of Wensleydale. One of the most fluent and spontaneous water-colourists of his time, he was particularly adept at capturing autumnal tints. A close friend of many Yorkshire artists including Jacob Kramer, Henrietta Lister and George Jackson. His daughter Sonia Lawson is also a painter of high repute.

A retrospective exhibition was held in Middlesbrough Art Gallery in 1969. He was the founder and leading member of the Castle Bolton group of artists. Died in Castle Bolton, Redmire, where he had lived for nearly sixty years.

This is one from a large collection of Fred Lawson's available on our website.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Early 20th-century British pencil drawings are defined by their emphasis on draughtsmanship, subtle shading, and rapid observational technique, often capturing architectural motifs and rural or travel vistas directly on location.

Artists utilised graphite pencils varying in hardness on woven or laid paper, relying on hatching, cross-hatching, and tonal smudging to create depth without the use of liquid pigments.

Authenticity is verified through artist signatures, contemporary inscriptions, evaluation of paper aging and watermark characteristics, as well as distinct graphite sheen and style comparison with documented works.

A monochrome pencil drawing pairs well with neutral window mounts and minimalist frames, making it suitable for gallery walls or hanging as a quiet accent piece alongside contemporary furnishings.

Works on paper should be framed using acid-free, conservation-grade materials and UV-protective glass, housed in a humidity-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent foxing and fading.
