Lamb, Henry

    0.01 sec.

Lamb, Henry (1885-1960)

English painter. He is best known for his portraits, in particular Lytton Strachey (1914; Tate Gallery, London), and for paintings of war in Palestine and Salonika made from 1919 to 1920.

Associated with the Bloomsbury Group and the Camden Town painters, he painted in a number of genres. His portraiture is especially notable for its family groups, such as The Anrep Family (1921). In World War II he was an official war artist and his work is well represented in the Imperial War Museum.

Born in Adelaide, Australia, the son of painter Horace Lamb, he was educated in Manchester, England. After some time as a medical student he turned to art, studying in Paris under J E Blanche.
