Edward Seago [1910-1974] – Biography

Born in Norwich in 1910 he was a painter, illustrator and writer and studied at the Norwich School. Edward Seago was mainly self taught having won an award from the Royal Drawing Society. However he did have the advantage of advice from Sir Alfred Munnings and Bertram Priestman. From these experiences he formed his own impressionist / post impressionist style with influences from earlier British artists.

He exhibited successfully and his work came to be appreciated and collected by the Royal Family.
Joining the Bevin’s Traveling Circus between 1928-1933, when 18, Edward Seago traveled around England, France and Ireland. He recounts his experiences in his books ‘Circus Company’[1933] and ‘Sons of Sawdust’[1934].

During the Second World War he worked on developing camouflage while in the Royal Engineers. During later years he was invited on a Royal tour on Royal Yacht Britannia of the Antarctic in 1956.  He designed a car mascot of St George and the Dragon for Queen Elizabeth II state limousine. Edward Seago died in 1974 with around 20,000 painting in existence.

He has paintings in the Royal Collection and the National portrait Gallery in London and has exhibited at The Royal Academy, Paris Solon, Royal Society of British Artists and Royal Society of painters in Watercolour
