Russell was Canadian-born and began his training at Halifax School of Art, followed by the School of Art in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1911 he left Canada to study in Paris, at the Academie Julian and the Academie Colarossi. At the outbreak of World War I he moved to London where he was commissioned by Lord Beaverbrook to act as an official war artist for the Canadian Government. His paintings of northern France in 1918 were featured in the Canadian War Exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1919, with many examples now in the possession of the Canadian War Museum.
During the 1920s and 1930s he worked as an artist in film studios, designing railway posters, lecturing and writing. World War II was spent as an acting petty officer in the Royal Navy Patrol Service. In 1944 Russell, now married, moved to Yorkshire, continuing his career as an artist and lecturer at Doncaster School of Art.
During the years 1949 to 1953 he paid many visits to Cornwall from his home in Yorkshire. Polperro and Mevagissey became his favoured locations. A 1949 article, in a series that he produced for The Artist magazine on 'Sketching Out of Doors' contained an image of a sepia wash sketch of Polperro from Chapel Steps, and a sketch of Mevagissey. He travelled around Cornwall in a gypsy caravan, producing railway posters advertising the charms of local fishing ports.
In 1953 Russell moved to Penarth in south Wales and visited Cornwall less regularly. He continued to paint until his death in 1970.
The artist served on the Arts Club committee when Henry Harewood ROBINSON was President (1897) and was a member of the Entertainments Committee in 1906. Once the war effort was underway, Russell and fellow artist Sarah Elizabeth WHITEHOUSE presented paintings which were sold on behalf of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Corps stationed at Calais.
At the St Ives Show Day of 1915, the artist exhibited Land's End and a study of Hayle, and in October of that year he showed Marazion Marshes at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in Piccadilly, London. His address was Westcott's Quay, St Ives.

The son of an artist, Ruszkowski was born in Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland, on 5 February 1907. He studied at the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts (1924-9) and continued his studies at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts from 1930 to 1932. On the death of his father, a small inheritance enabled him to travel to Paris in 1935. When World War II broke out he joined the Polish Army in France. When France was invaded, he escaped to Spain and made his way to Scotland where, in 1941, he re-joined the army.
In 1944 he moved to London, holding his first one-man exhibition there in 1948. The next year, he rented a Newlyn studio from a friend for two summers. Paintings from this period are held in the Simonow Collection (France) and include Cornish Landscape (1949), House in Newlyn (1950), Penzance Beach (1950) and Three Girls against the Wind (Newlyn, Cornwall) (1952).

Adrian Ryan was born in Hampstead, London and was educated at Eton College. At the beginning of WWII he spent a year studying at the Architectural Association and at the Slade School. A first solo show of his paintings was held at the Redfern Gallery, and his main career in art was begun. Friends made along the way brought him inevitably into the orbit of the modernists grouping in Cornwall, and paintings by him were included in the 3rd Crypt Exhibition (1948) in St Ives.
Exhibiting regularly at the RA and widely in the UK and abroad (France, USA), Adrian's other occupation was lecturing in painting and drawing from 1948 both at Goldsmiths College, and subsequently at the Cambridge College of Art and Technology until the mid 1980's. Solo and mixed shows followed and his work was included in the exhibition 'West Country Artists' (1962) in Hanover, and 'Paintings of Cornwall 1945-55' (1977) at the New Arts Centre, London.
Honouring the place of Cornwall in Adrian Ryan's somewhat rackety life is not easy, but Julian Machin in his recent (2009) biography has done an excellent job of detailing aspects of the artist's relationships, his depressive periods, and his imagery in painting. Though never remaining in West Cornwall for long periods, his imprint remains, and this can be seen in his inclusion in several exhibitions since his death in 1998 in Camden Town, London.
