Augustus John was an English portrait painter born in Tenby, Wales. Influenced by French post- impressionist painters, John’s style was bold and striking. He became one of the leading portraitists of his time, his sitters including royalty, other artists and famous stage artistes. He also painted and etched gypsy scenes. John is believed to have visited Chilbolton as a friend of the artist living at White Poplars.
