About the artist

Born in Blackburn, Lancashire, the versatile artist A.G. Gardiner pursued various creative roles such as designer, printmaker, painter, illustrator, and teacher. Educated at University College School, he briefly engaged in journalism before attending Slade School of Fine Art from 1909 to 1912 and later the Royal Academy Schools from 1913 to 1914.

After fulfilling duties at the Ministry of Munitions during World War I, Gardiner completed an art teaching course and subsequently taught at Brighton School of Art. He showcased his works influenced by Puvis de Chavannes at the Royal Academy (RA) and New English Art Club (NEAC). Notably, Gardiner produced remarkable artwork for institutions like London Underground, Empire Marketing Board, and Shell. Recognizing his talent, he became the headmaster/principal of Goldsmiths' College from 1929 to 1957, where he played a pivotal role in promoting the modern movement. His artistic style evolved under the influence of Cézanne, Derain, Picasso, and Braque.

In 1936, he held his sole solo exhibition of paintings at the French Gallery. Gardiner also made significant contributions as a decorator, creating murals for Sir John Benn's Hostel, Stepney, Toynbee Hall, and the Students' Union of London University. During World War II, he provided expertise in designing and decorating British Restaurants. In his later years, Gardiner returned to his introspective style, producing smaller oil and watercolour paintings while frequently visiting the Scilly Isles.
