The artist and teacher Edward Pullée was once described as the heavyweight champion of art and design education. The youngest college principal in the country when, in 1934, he was appointed to Gloucester School of Art, he went on to be principal at Portsmouth (1939), Leeds (1945) and Leicester (1956-67).
Born in Pimlico, south-west London, the eldest of three sons of a police officer, he was educated at Holy Trinity school in Chelsea, and, after the family moved to Dover, at St Martin's School. As a 12-year-old, he began evening classes at the Dover School of Art, became a full-time student in 1922 and won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in 1926. There he was strongly influenced by Randolph Schwabe.
In 1930, Edward became head of design at Cheltenham School of Art, and first exhibited with the New English Art Club. Four years later came Gloucester and five years after that Portsmouth College of Art and Design.
During the war, the southern art colleges were combined at Winchester in 1941, and Edward and his wife, Peggy, ran the combined college's student hostel. Active in the air raid precautions service, he suffered the loss of or damage to much of his early work when his own home was bombed.
With the end of the war came the move to Leeds. This was a time of experimental activity in art and design education, and the Yorkshire landscape gave new stimulation to Edward's painting and drawing. He was a regular exhibitor at the Yorkshire artists' exhibitions, and in 1954 he had a personal exhibition of his work at Wakefield Art Gallery.
At Leeds, he encouraged the development of the basic design course which was the forerunner of today's foundation course. There, too, he encouraged the participation of artists like Victor Passmore, Terry Frost, Hubert Dalwood, Alan Davey and Wilhelmina Barnes Graham.
In 1952, he was appointed a member of the National Advisory Council on Art Education. In 1956, he moved to Leicester. The 1960s were a very active period of exhibitions and social events. Via the Anglo-Soviet Cultural Treaty, he was a member of the 1966 British delegation to the Soviet Union.
In 1967, having retired from Leicester, he was appointed chief officer of the National Council for Diplomas in Art and Design (NCDAD). Shrewd, broadminded, he steered it through turbulent years in the 1960s.
A sometime university examination external assessor, he was active in many art and professional bodies. These included the Chelsea Arts Club - a member since 1939 - and the National Society for Art Education, of which he was president twice in the 1940s and 50s.
He was a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts from 1952, and from 1961 of the Manchester College of Art and Design. He had had fellowships at Portsmouth and Leicester Polytechnics. He was chairman of the Association of Art Institutions in 1958, and he was awarded the CBE in 1967.
It was when he was at the RCA that he met fellow student Margaret "Peggy" Fisher. They married in 1933. With her, he was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, and both were elected members and exhibitors with the New English Art Club.

Low Tide On The Minnows Cornwall Padstow Framed Cornish Impasto Oil Painting
By Nancy Bailey
Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset
Nancy Bailey.
English ( b.1913 - d.2012 ).
Low Tide On The Minnows, Cornwall, 1972.
Oil On Canvas.
Signed Lower Right.
Image size 19.3 inches x 39.4 inches ( 49cm x 100cm ).
Frame size 25.4 inches x 45.3 inches ( 64.5cm x 115cm ).
Available for sale; this original impasto oil painting is by the Cornish artist Nancy Bailey and is dated 1972.
The painting is presented and supplied in its original frame (which is shown in these photographs).
The painted surface has benefitted from a light clean and a new preserving varnish coat has been applied.
This vintage painting is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display.
The painting is signed lower right and on the reverse it is titled and signed again.
Nancy Bailey was born in 1913 and started her working life at the age of 15. As a teenager she used her father’s camera to take photographs of West Country views, many of which were used to produce postcards, which sold throughout the country. This early talent demonstrated her knowledge and appreciation of light and composition that later enabled her to create the beautiful paintings for which she became internationally renowned. Her family moved frequently throughout the south west, before settling in Ireland where for thirteen years she produced high quality marquetry pictures, which sold all over the world.
Nancy only started painting seriously when she returned to Cornwall in her fifties. Her painting career, though started somewhat late, continued over forty years. Nancy worked with a palette knife and never used a brush. This gives her work its distinctive texture and captures the landscape and light. Nancy became acclaimed as one of the leading palette knife artists in the UK.
Although Nancy travelled widely, including a safari trip to South Africa with the acclaimed nature artist David Shepherd her best work is arguably of the coasts and rivers of the West Country, which she loved so much.
Nancy died in 2012, since when demand for her original works has increased.
