Walter Hoyle
1922 - 2000
Known particularly for his prints, watercolours and illustration work, Hoyle was an integral member of the Great Bardfield group of artists and a close associate of Edward Bawden. He studied at Beckenham School of Art and the Royal College of Art before serving as an army medical orderly from 1942. From 1949, he studied mosaics at the Byzantine Institute of America, which greatly influenced his subsequent work. Returning to the RCA for a further year, he met Bawden, with whom he collaborated on a mural at the Festival of Britain, and the two travelled and exhibited together. In 1952, he joined Bawden in Great Bardfield. From 1960, Hoyle taught at St Martins and the Central Schools of Art and from 1964 at Cambridge School of Art, also setting up Cambridge Print Editions. As well as successful exhibitions at the Leicester Galleries, Hoyle received many corporate commissions, notably for illustration and wallpaper.
