Weight was born in Paddington in 1907. He studied at the Hammersmith School Of Art and Goldsmiths College . His first solo exhibition was held in the the Cooling Gallery in 1933 and later exhibited in some major London galleries and throughout the UK . He was appointed a CBE in 1962 and awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Edinburgh University in 1982. Some of his work is owned by the Tate Gallery and the Victoria And Albert Museum . Many of his paintings showed suburban settings in which unexpected human dramas occurred. His work was sometimes humorous and sometimes angry. Each painting's location was chosen specifically for its abstract structure and this made his work very interesting. Weight died on 13 August 1997 at the age of 90. REFERENCES |
