Edward Seago - Biography

Edward Seago was a British landscape painter. He studied at the Royal Drawing Society, winning an award at the early age of 14. He successfully exhibited his paintings in London at the Royal Academy, the Royal Water-colour Society, the Royal Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. He also enjoyed success at the Paris Salon, Glasgow, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, Oslo and Brussels. He was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists from 1946, and of the Royal Watercolour Society in Edinburgh from 1959.

During the Second World War Seago served with the Royal Engineers and was invited by Field-Marshall Lord Alexander to record the war campaign in Italy. It was here that he met George VI, Winston Churchill and Harold Macmillan who later became his patrons. His campaign paintings were exhibited at Colnaghi’s in London in 1945 and their success resulted in an annual show at the gallery until 1967. Seago continued to travel extensively. He accompanied HRH the Duke of Edinburgh on Royal tours, showing his paintings later at St James’ Palace.

Edward Seago was involved in the publication of many books throughout his career. In 1934 he published a book entitled Sons of Sawdus about circus life in the west of Ireland. He also published Peace in War (1943), High Endeavour (1944), With the Allied Armies in Italy (1945) and his autobiography A Canvas to Cover (1947). In 1936 some 42 of his paintings were used to accompany John Masefield’s collection of poems entitled, The Country Scene and he worked with Masefield again on Tribute to Ballet in 1937 and a Generation Risen (1942).
