Cecil Arthur HUNT
Hunt was reported in the St Ives Times as a RSW exhibitor at the Pall Mall Galleries in October 1920 with a Cornish subject. Born in Torquay, Devon, the barrister-turned-painter specialised principally in landscape watercolours, and he travelled and worked widely. He exhibited mainly at the Fine Art Society in London, where he showed some 369 paintings, but also at the Royal Watercolour Society where 220 paintings were shown.
