John Pearson (artist)

John Pearson was a famous master craftsman of the Newlyn School and Guild of Handicrafts. His style is described as arts and crafts / art nouveau.

Together with Charles Robert Ashbee, was a founding member of the Guild of Handicraft at Whitechapel, London.

John Pearson was dismissed from the Guild of Handicraft in 1892 and made his way to Newlyn, Cornwall Pearson was greatly influenced by William De Morgan (1839-1917), whilst employed in De Morgan's workshop decorating tiles and pottery.

Perhaps the most notable example of Pearsons work are the four large copper plaques, earth, air, fire and water, that decorate the facade of the Newlyn art gallery.
