David Gentleman (b. 1930) Born in London.
Studied at St Albans School of Art (1947-48) and the Royal College of Art,
London (1950-53),where he later taught (1953-55).Since then,he has worked freelance from his studio in Camden Town,London,making drawings,watercolours and lithographs of landscapes and buildings,and designing murals,posters,
bookjackets,postage stamps,and a wide variety of other design and illustration commissions.Hid book illustrations have included limited editions of a number of classic works as well as books by several contemporary writers,some of them for children.He has written and illstrated several children's books and one on design,as well as a book of watercolour drawings on contemporary Britain.Many of his illustrations have been engraved on wood and some lithographed; more often,
however,he draws in pen and ink with watercolour.As an illustrator,he uses pen and ink,wood engraving,and watercolour.His work is always immaculately presented; his wood engravings reveal a master of pastiche,convincingly and often humorously adopting the style and iconography of his subject's period.Elected RDI (1970); member AGI.
