Montague Dawson
Marine painter Montague Dawson (1896-1973) was born in London. After the First World War, Montague Dawson was already fully established as a professional marine painter with his own style, handwriting and passions. He quite "found himself" in the image of famous sailing ships and clippers on the high seas. Looking at Dawson's paintings, the old sea wolves could accurately determine at what latitude, what ocean, what time of year a particular ship is depicted - this is with what scrupulous accuracy the artist depicted the color of the sky and water inherent in this particular place. Winner of numerous awards and titles, an honorary member of the most prestigious art communities in Great Britain, Montagu Dawson honestly earned his title of "The most famous marine painter of the twentieth century."
