Bernard Cecil Gotch Art
1876-1963
Bernard Cecil Gotch was born on 17th May 1876 at Chilcombe near Winchester. Gotch studied and then taught at Winchester School of Art. Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, he took a studio in London near the Tate. Specializing in architectural views, he had one-man shows at the Fine Art Society and Lincoln's Inn and also exhibited at the Royal Academy. His first notable commission was for the publisher Methuen, illustrating A Shepherd’s Life by W H Hudson. While in London, he was invited to illustrate a book on the Public Schools of England, which sadly was never completed but his completed watercolors were exhibited at the Fine Art Society in 1927. He lived in 1927 in Oxford, living on Cumnor Hill. From his studio on the first floor he painted commissions, making many watercolors of the interiors and exteriors of Oxford’s many buildings. He also exhibited at one-man shows, most notably in every Eights Week at Oriel College. Bernard Cecil Gotch died in 1963.

Sheringham was born in London, the son of the Rector of Christ Church, Marylebone. He studied at the Slade under Henry Tonks and later in Venice, Brussels, Berlin and Paris, holding his first one-man exhibition in Paris in 1905. On his return to London he initially supported himself with poster designs and teaching.
Before and during World War I he concentrated much of his artistic energy on painting fan leaves, often on silk. His first exhibition of fan designs and silk panels was held at the Ryder Gallery in 1909 followed by another in the following year. With enthusiastic reviews in Studio he had launched his career as a decorative designer, theatrical designer and illustrator.
Sheringham also worked as an illustrator, providing illustrations for books by Max Beerbohm and Cyrus MacMillan and others. In 1921 he collaborated with his brother Hugh on a book about fishing, The Book of the Fly Rod. He wrote Drawing in Pen and Pencil (1922), with James Laver, Design in the Theatre (1927) and with Rupert Mason and R Boyd Morrison he edited Robes of Thespis, Costume Designs by Modern Artists (1928).
