Alan Blyth

Alan Blyth (fl.1921 - 1953) was an English artist who primarily painted landscape and botanical paintings, predominantly in the oil medium. [Johnson, J. "The Dictionary of British Artists 1880-1940" (Antique Collectors Club, 1980) p.63]

Life and Work

It is likely that Alan Blyth was born in Norfolk around 1900. He exhibited at the majority of London galleries including the New English Art Club, the Royal Academy, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Walker's Gallery. [Johnson, J. "The Dictionary of British Artists 1880-1940" (Antique Collectors Club, 1980) p.63]

For such a widely exhibited artist it is unusual that little biographical information is known.
