Description: | St. Clair Marston worked mainly in oil and was recognised for his tranquil landscape paintings. Born in Willenhall, St. Clair Marston originally studied engineering until the age of 22. He then undertook his art training at the Wolverhampton Municipal School of Art under Robert Jackson Emerson (1878-1944). They became close friends and went on a number of painting expeditions. St. Clair Marston travelled a great deal spending several years in Italy, France and Germany. It was during a trip to Northern Italy with his former teacher Emerson, that Emerson painted Sasso Di Bordigherra, an oil painting which was exhibited at the ROI in 1925. St. Clair Marston was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, showing 20 works. He also exhibited 92 times at the Royal Society of British Artists and 35 times at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI). He married fellow painter and printmaker Freda Clulow and they were both active members of the ROI for many years. They moved to Sussex and Essex in later years.
