CLAUSEN, GEORGE (1852-1944), English
painter, was born in London, the son of a
decorative artist. Sir George Clausen attended the design
classes at the South Kensington schools from
1867-1873 with great success. Sir George
Clausen then worked
in the studio of Edwin Long, RA., and
subsequently in Paris under
Bouguereau and
Robert-Fleury.
Sir George Clausen became one of the foremost
modern painters of landscape and of peasant
life, influenced to a certain extent by the
impressionists with whom Sir George Clausen shared the view
that light is the real subject of landscape
art. |

His pictures
excel in rendering the appearance of things
under flecking outdoor sunlight, or in the
shady shelter of a barn or stable. His Girl
at the Gate was acquired for the nation by
the Chantrey Trustees and is now at the
National Gallery of British Art (Tate
Gallery). Sir George Clausen was elected associate of the
Royal Academy in 1895, and as professor of
painting gave a memorable series of lectures
to the students of the schools, published as
Six Lectures on Painting (1904) and Aims and
Ideals in Art (1906).
