David Gentleman was born in London, Gentleman is the son of Tom and Winifred Gentlemen, two artists who met at the Glasgow School of Art. Following national service in the Royal Army Education Corps teaching art in Cornwall, he studied at the Royal College of Art under Edward Bawden and John Nash. After two further years at the Royal College, he became a freelance artist. Gentleman is probably best known for his paintings of buildings and landscapes, and has traveled the world bringing his distinctive touch to foreign landscapes. Gentleman’s Britain records the British landscape. He designed 103 stamps for the post office between 1962 (National Productivity Year) and 2000 (for the Millennium), and the mural for the Eleanor Cross on Charing Cross underground station platform. His work is in many collections, including the Tate Britain, the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum and he continues to work.
