CONDITION: excellent
DETAIL: Born in Liverpool, Butler trained at Liverpool School (1944-1945), re-enrolling after completing his service in the RAF (1948-1950). A respected teacher as well as a painter, he taught at St Helens Art School and was head of art at Birkenhead School, until he retired in the late 1980s. A leading member of the Wirral Society of Arts, the Deeside Art Group and a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, Butler was not a prolific painter, but the high quality and refinement of his work (largely realist genre scenes) earned him acclaim and exhibitions at the Crane Gallery, Manchester; Agnew’s; and with the Northern Young Contemporaries. His paintings are now in the permanent collections of several important northern public collections including the Walker Art Gallery; Williamson Art Gallery, Birkenhead; Liverpool University; and Manchester City Art Gallery. Became associate member of the RCA in 1954 and a full member in 1957.
BUYER NOTIFICATION:
Glass & Glazing: As per our Shipping Terms (found in the shipping tab below) we do not post glass to prevent the high likelihood of transit damage and also for handlers safety- replacement glass costs just a few pounds and can be easily slipped into the picture on arrival where applicable (i.e. prints & watercolours).
Frames: Because of the fragile nature of picture frames, all frames are offered free with the painting. You are welcome to ask questions about the frame condition before buying but we cannot accept returns or requests for 'part refunds' because a frame arrives with some existing damage not sustained in transit.
