Sir William Russell Flint. 1880-1969.

Throughout the early 1940s, Russell and Sybil Flint went to live in Devon on a farm that reared poultry.
Having served in the RAF, he was allowed to visit Devonport Dockyard,( of which a limited edition has been published,
and was described as a masterpiece of perspective) and paint, whenever he wished.
In 1945 William Russell Flint and his wife Sybil returned to their home at Peel Cottage, Campden Hill, London.
1947 saw Russell Flint knighted and he painted throughout his life until the age of 89 when he died.
His work as a professional artist spanned many years and he was later able to create a unique feel to his paintings that produced
his most recognizable style. The paintings he produced were less rigid and he was able to show in exquisite detail, the different textures
of materials, buildings, and of course, flesh.
