Born in Stockport, England on Dec. 7, 1868. Partington was a member of a family of artists who played a lively part in the cultural life of the San Francisco Bay area. He immigrated to Oakland with his family in 1889. With his father he established the Partington Art School in San Francisco at 414 Pine Street across the hall from Wm Keith's studio. He also was a quick-sketch artist for the San Francisco Call and San Francisco Examiner at the turn of the century. When the fire of 1906 destroyed the school, he returned to Oakland as curator of the Piedmont Art Gallery. He became well known locally for his sensitive portraits. In 1916 he followed a portrait commission to Philadelphia and remained there until his death on June 3, 1929. Member: Athenian-Nile Club (Oakland).
