Biography from Cheffins
Ethelbert White, born in Isleworth, was a landscape painter, poster designer, illustrator and wood engraver. He studied at St John's Wood School of Art in 1911-1912 and was a friend of Christopher Nevinson with whom he painted a Futurist version of "Hampstead Heath on Fair Day" in 1913.
In 1916 White began to exhibit at the London Group and also at the New English Art Club, of which he became a member in 1921. In the same year he held his first solo exhibitions at the Paterson and Carfax Gallery and he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy. He was one of the first artists to become a member of the Artists' International Association and he was also a member of the Royal Watercolour Society.
He was much in sympathy with British avant-garde artists and was influenced by the post impressionist painters in France. Hilary Chapman describes him as a pastoralist, "his artistic vision rooted in his genuine delight in nature". His work, which became looser and more impressionistic as time progressed, consists of a very large number of oil paintings and watercolors.
White illustrated several books, including C. W. Beaumont's 'Impressions of the Russian Ballet, IV, VI and VII', 1919, and 'The Story of My Heart' by Richard Jeffries 1923.
