Max Chapman (artist)
Max Balthazar Chapman (1911–1999) was an English visual artist. He was primarily a painter, but also made drawings, collages, and photographs.
Chapman attended Dulwich College, then the Byam Shaw Art School, 1927–30, where he was taught and befriended by Charles Ricketts. In 1934 Ricketts provided for Chapman to take "a scholarship to Italy and the European Grand Tour".[1]
According to his obituary in The Independent, Chapman "showed widely, ranging from the established Royal Academy, London Group and Leicester Galleries to the more experimental Grabowski, Molton and New Vision Centre galleries, and abroad."[2]
Chapman was the long-time partner of writer Oswell Blakeston, with whom he collaborated on numerous books.
