Who nowadays has heard of Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956)? Yet he’d had the greatest international reputation of any British artist, he exhibited with Monet, Whistler and Degas, was feted by the Vienna Secessionists and was praised by Kandinsky.
Born in 1867 in Bruges to Anglo-Welsh, Catholic parents, he grew up in London from the age of eight.
