Biography

Paul Drury was an artist and printmaker born Albert Paul Dalou Drury, the son of sculptor Alfred Drury.

In 1944 he was commissioned, with other leading artists of the day, to produce a series of prints for Cowan's, a leading artist's printmaker.

After World War II, Drury returned to Goldsmiths and became part of the mid 20th century Goldsmiths School. Drury eventually became Principal of Goldsmiths in 1966 for three years.

Drury produced 92 etchings, almost half of which were portraits and a quarter of which were landscapes. Although the majority of his work was portraiture, he is known for his landscapes including September and Nicols Farm.

He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy in London, and amongst others, via the British Council at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the National Gallery of Canada; the National Gallery of New Zealand and in the British Pavilion of the 1939 World's fair in New York.

His work is held at the National Portrait Gallery, London, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the National Gallery of Canada and elsewhere.

Drury was President of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers for five years from 1970 to 1975.
