Atkinson, Lawrence [Laurence]
(b Manchester, 17 Jan 1873; d Paris, 21 Sept 1931). English painter, sculptor and draughtsman. He studied singing and music in Berlin and Paris. At first he earned his living by establishing himself as a singing teacher in Liverpool and London. By July 1913, when he exhibited in the Allied Artists’ Association in London, he was devoting an increasing amount of his energies to painting. His early work was Fauvist in affiliation, reflecting perhaps the teaching he had received at La Palette in Paris. Contact with Wyndham Lewis and the Vorticists led him to pursue a more abstract path. In the spring of 1914 he joined the REBEL ART CENTRE with Wyndham Lewis and other artists who appeared in Blast magazine later that year.
