Frank O. Salisbury
Francis ("Frank") Owen Salisbury (born Harpenden〔Maurice Bradshaw, ‘Salisbury, Francis Owen (1874–1962)’, rev. Charles Noble, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2005 (accessed 17 July 2011 )〕 in Hertfordshire, 18 December 1874〔 died Hampstead, London, 31 August 1962〔) was an English artist who specialised in portraits, large canvases of historical and ceremonial events, stained glass and book illustration. In his heyday he made a fortune on both sides of the Atlantic and was known as “Britain’s Painter Laureate”. His art was steadfastly conservative and he was a vitriolic critic of Modern Art – particularly of his contemporaries Picasso, Chagall and Mondrian. His father, Henry Salisbury, described himself as a “plumber, decorator and ironmonger” (his mother was Susan Hawes〔), yet his son Frank would become one of the greatest society artists of his generation.
== Personal life ==
One of 11 children,〔 Salisbury was such a delicate child that he was educated at home, in the main by his student teacher sister, Emilie.〔 He had only a few weeks formal schooling and began work by repairing bicycles at his father’s Cycle Depot in Harpenden. Uncertain as to his ability to find and maintain a job, the family determined that he be apprenticed, at the age of 15,〔 to Henry James Salisbury, his eldest brother, who managed a major stained glass company in Alma Road, St Albans. He rapidly acquired all the practical skills of a stained glass artist and exhibited exceptional skills in the painterly detail that was applied to glass before its final firing. This led to his brother sponsoring him to attend Heatherley’s School of Art three days a week to further a career in painting. He then won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools which he attended for five years〔 and where he won two silver medals and two scholarships, including the Landseer scholarship which funded his to travel to Italy in 1896.〔 In due course he would have seventy exhibits accepted for the annual Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, from 1899 until 1943,〔 though he was never offered membership,〔 which reportedly disappointed him very much.〔
In 1901 he married Alice Maude (d. 1951),〔 daughter of C. Colmer Greenwood,〔 with whom he had twin daughters.〔 His first Royal Academy exhibit was a portrait of Alice〔 and he often painted pictures of their children.〔
Salisbury died on 31 August 1962〔 at ''Sarum Chase'', the neo-Tudor mansion he built,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Francis Salisbury – Artist, Fine Art, Auction Records, Prices, Biography for Francis Owen Salisbury )〕 in 1932, in Hampstead, London.〔
