Robert Leslie Howey 1900-1981
Robert Leslie Howey was born in Hartlepool, the son of Staithes Group artist, John William Howey (1873 - 1938).
In the early 1930s he was engaged in serious studies in drawing at the School of Art, West Hartlepool. Around the same time, during frequent holidays at Runswick Bay and Whitby he met and joined up with Mark Senior and Rowland Hill. It was also around this time that he produced many linocuts and woodcuts which were shown at the annual Leipzig Fair in Germany. Although these were all nominally out of an edition of 100, Howey printed a few out at a time for a local shop and many of the prints never reached editions of more than about 30.
In the post war years he began working in pastel, then pure watercolour, progressing to the mixed media work for which he is best known by the 1970s. He also produced a number of oil paintings in the 1970s.
This later work is distinguished by the striking light effects in which the artist revels. His favourite motif is striking white cumulous clouds reflected down into water. He coded the size of these paintings with letters, the largest size being 'E', approximately 18"x22".
From the mid 1970s until his death we acted as Robert Howey's agent. During this time his work was featured in Denys Brook-Hart's book, 20th Century Marine Painting.
