Walter Hoyle (1922-2000)

 

He was born in Lancashire and studied at Beckenham School of Art and then at the Royal College of Art from 1940 where he studied under Edward Bawden – a figure who would become the most enduring influence on Hoyle’s career as an artist. The two became close friends and Hoyle later moved to Great Bardfield where he became part of the important artistic community there, working with and alongside Bawden. He work is held by the Tate Gallery. From 1964 until 1985 he taught at Cambridge School of Art where he was instrumental in reviving interest in printmaking.
