Noel Harry Leaver was born in Austwick, Yorkshire in 1889. He is most famous as the painter of distinctive North African views or 'Easterns', although his work includes a much wider range of landscapes, town views, interiors and even still life.
He was one of the youngest ever pupils of the Royal College of Art, where he began studies at age sixteen. At the RCA he followed the classic training route doing modules in Architecture, Painting Modelling and Design passing first class in all. At the age of 21 he was awarded the College's full Associateship (ARCA) and as top student won the first of several Travelling Scholarships. He used them to travel to visit Europe and North Africa. It was in this period that he started painting his North African scenes with vivid blue skies, arches and mosques for which he became most known.
Leaver returned from Italy to England in 1912 to take up the first of his teaching posts at Halifax School of Art where he worked until 1915. After this he taught at the Burnley School of Art up until the mid 1930's. He passed away in 1951.
