Leonard Beaumont

Leonard Beaumont (1891-1986)

Leonard Beaumont was a prolific Sheffield-born artist and designer, whose skillful etchings and modernist linocuts have rarely received the attention they deserve.

Beaumont’s numerous linocuts showcase a bold graphic style; clearly influenced by the Vorticist movement, these dynamic images share many characteristics with the work of Cyril Power, Sybil Andrews and their contemporaries at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art.
