Ethelbert White (1891-1972) THE SUN UMBRELLA Signed l.r., inscribed verso, oil on canvas 60 x 73cm. This is probably a study of the artist`s wife, Betty, at their country retreat in Amberley. Ethelbert White was born in Isleworth, Middlesex. In 1911, he studied at St. John`s Wood Art School under Leonard Walker and, in the same year, married Elizabeth Crofton Dodwell, always known as `Betty`. The couple shared a liking for a simple and unconventional way of life, full of fun, friendship, music and travel. They lived in an 18th century cottage in Hampstead Grove, Camden, and travelled around the countryside in their gypsy caravan, `Reading`, Ethelbert producing paintings of village life and Betty playing the lute. White exhibited at London Group and New English Art Club from 1916. His first one-man-show was at Paterson and Carfax Gallery in 1921. He was a regular exhibitor at the RA and RWS. A memorial exhibition was held at the Fine Art Society in 1979. His work is represented in may public collections.
