Guy Lipscombe
|
Guy Lipscombe was born in or around London, England in 1893. He was a painter of genre and motoring scenes. He was one of the earliest artists specializing in automotive subject matter. In 1903, he took charge of the art department of the popular British magazine, “The Motor.” Ultimately, he became a world famous illustrator and his works now hang in every important Automobile Museum in the world. Lipscombe’s genre pictures were quite different from his motoring subjects. Here, he often employed free and expressive brushwork and used a rather rich color palette on his often large scaled canvases. Lipscombe began to exhibit in London from 1908 to1937 at The Royal Academy, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Abbey Gallery, The Dudley Gallery and The London Salon. He also exhibited at The Walker Gallery in Liverpool. He died sometime after 1937. |
