Artist
Edgar Holloway
Edgar Holloway is a social realism artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Edgar Holloway made watercolor paintings of British coal towns and old buildings in the 1930s and 1940s. He recorded places like Latton Priory in Essex and Thorne Colliery with quick, clear brushstrokes that show the life around the mines. His later watercolor, After the Hurricane (1988), turns weather damage into bright, restless marks. If these quiet scenes of work and weather grab you, tap Thorne Colliery next to see how he framed the pit head against a gray sky.
