St John's Wood Art School
The St John's Wood Art School (a.k.a. The Wood) was an art school in St John's Wood, north London, England.
The Art School was established in 1878.[1] It was founded by A. A. Calderon (1847-1911) and Bernard Evans Ward, two art teachers in London. Lewis Baumer, Cadogan Cowper, and Byam Shaw were early students. Later students included John Armstrong, Michael Ayrton, Enid Bell, Frank Beresford,[2] Kenneth Martin, John Minton, Olive Mudie-Cooke, Ursula Wood, Herbert James Draper,[3] Flora Lion, Gluck and Christopher R. W. Nevinson. Teachers included Vanessa Bell, John Piper, and John Skeaping.
The School subsequently became the Anglo-French Art Centre, which was founded in 1946 by Alfred Rozelaar Green, who studied in Paris at the Académie Julian and Atelier Gromaire.[4] The Centre closed in 1951.[1]
