About George Kennethson

  • Biography

    George Kennethson, also known as Arthur Mackenzie, met Eileen Guthrie in 1931 at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Both artists were left-wing and influenced by avant-garde art, music, and literature. They were committed pacifists during World War II and lived in rural seclusion in Berkshire. Eileen turned to making prints for textiles post-war, with George assisting in production. The couple moved to Oundle in 1954, where they continued their artistic pursuits. George's sculptures and Eileen's fabric designs reflected a shared vision and influence on each other's work.
