About the artist

Henry Marvell Carr (16 August 1894 – 16 March 1970) was a British artist, well known for his landscape and portrait work, as well as his contributions as a war artist during WWII. Born and educated in Leeds, Carr studied at the Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art under the guidance of William Rothenstein. His service during WWI was with the Royal Field Artillery in France.

After the war, he made his mark in the art world, showcasing his work at the Royal Academy in 1921 and various galleries in Britain and Paris. His body of work includes portraits of notable figures like Aldous Huxley and Olivia Davis, and fascinating landscapes of the English south coast.

When WWII broke out, Carr was commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee to immortalise scenes of bomb damage in London, from landmarks such as St Pancras railway station and St Clement Danes Church, to suburban housing areas. Tragically, his own home and studio fell victim to the Blitz. His war-themed paintings were exhibited at the National Gallery in July 1940.

Post-war, Carr didn't skip a beat, resuming his portrait painting. In 1948, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and in 1956, his talent was recognised with the Gold Medal at the Paris Salon.
