Edward Seago

He studied at the Royal Drawing Society and won an award at the age of fourteen. Although he was largely self-taught, he did receive some instruction from Bertram Priestman.

was involved in the publication of many books throughout his career. In 1934 he published a book entitled “Sons of Sawdust” which told of circus life in the West of Ireland. He also published “Peace in War” (1943), “High Endeavour” (1944), “With the Allied Armies in Italy” (1945) and his autobiography “A Canvas to Cover” (1947). In 1936 some forty -two of his paintings were used to accompany John Masefield’s collection of poems “The Country Scene” and he worked with Masefield again on “Tribute to Ballet” in 1937 and “A Generation Risen” (1942).
During the Second World War

served with the Royal Engineers and often painted in Italy with Field-Marshall Lord Alexander. His war pictures were exhibited in 1946 at both the Norwich and Bristol Municipal Galleries.
