About the artist
LIONEL BULMER (1919-1992)
Lionel Bulmer first visited Walberswick as an art student. He and his future wife, the painter Margaret Green, came 'in reverence' to the paintings of Philip Wilson Steer, who had worked in Walberswick and Southwold during the late 1880s. Years later he and Margaret Green moved to Suffolk after finding a dilapidated mediaeval hall house near Stowmarket. They restored the ruin themselves, adding a light-filled studio. From here they made frequent excursions to paint in Walberswick and Southwold, exhibiting in New English Art Club shows and the Royal Academy summer exhibition. When Lionel died in 1992, Margaret was bereft and never painted another picture until her own death eleven years later.
Lionel Bulmer was a member of the New English Art Club and the Royal Watercolour Society. His paintings were influenced both by pointillism and by Indian art. On Walberswick Beach shows both these influences at work and is one of the many landscapes and seascapes he painted on the Suffolk coast. |
