Frank O. Salisbury

In his heyday he made a fortune on both sides of the Atlantic and was known as Britains Painter Laureate. His art was steadfastly conservative and he was a vitriolic critic of Modern Art160 particularly of his contemporaries Picasso, Chagall and Mondrian. His father, Henry Salisbury, described himself as a plumber, decorator and ironmonger , yet his son Frank would become one of the greatest society artists of his generation.
