Guy WORSDELL
1908

A painting, The Glacier's Lances (1964) an abstract oil on board, is part of the permanent collection of Cornwall Council.

Guy is termed a Cornish painter in the on-line biography of the artist group called the Free Painters and Sculptors (1952-1992) when it appears that he served on its executive and selecting/hanging committees.  This group which became known as the Free Painters Group showed widely in London and France.  Other Cornish artists participating at some periods were Sheila OLINER and the late Paul MOUNT.

Worsdell lived in St Ives in the 1960s.  More information is sought.
