W. Waterhouse. This has<br \/>\nbeen achieved by the author\u2019s interviews and correspondence with descendants of close relatives<br \/>\nand friends of Waterhouse, as well as by extensive research (10+ years). There are still the<br \/>\n\u2018disappointing gaps\u2019, as mentioned by Peter Trippi, in knowledge pertaining to Waterhouse\u2019s life.<br \/>\nBut there are now far fewer of these gaps and the rich revelations elsewhere more than<br \/>\ncompensate. The establishment of the artist\u2019s correct date of birth is significant. So too, is the<br \/>\nprecious discovery of the first personal letter written by the artist [which includes such insightful<br \/>\nwording as \u2018I find that the older I get the more I know, and my handiwork is always trying to keep up<br \/>\nwith my brainwork and as the two rarely agree on my canvas, hence the trouble with my pictures\u2019].<br \/>\nA large gap has also been closed following the establishment by the author of the identity of the<br \/>\nmysterious Waterhouse model, Muriel Foster. After a great deal of searching it has been immensely<br \/>\nsatisfying to be able to provide the first full account of Waterhouse\u2019s 1883 wedding. For the first<br \/>\ntime it is possible to carry out an in depth examination of both the Waterhouse and (his wife\u2019s)<br \/>\nKenworthy family, and their links to other families such as the Fratellini brothers, the well known<br \/>\nEuropean circus\/music hall clowns. The thrill of determining the identity of Waterhouse\u2019s paternal<br \/>\ngrandfather has brought rich rewards both in understanding the artistic influence he has had on his<br \/>\ngrandson as well as on his importance during the period of his grandson\u2019s Leeds schooling. The<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">significance of the painter, John Whitehead Walton (1816-1895) \u2013 referred to by the author as John<br \/>\nWhitehead Walton II, in order to distinguish him from his father who had the same name \u2013 to<br \/>\nWaterhouse, as well as the significance of the wider Walton family to both the Waterhouse and<br \/>\nKenworthy family, can also be revealed. Through first hand Kenworthy family accounts it is also<br \/>\npossible to examine periods of Waterhouse\u2019s life in detail and even to look at his reading habits. \u2026<br \/>\nExtraordinarily Waterhouse can be found to be referenced in an amusing poem of his time.<br \/>\nSurprisingly, revealed too is Waterhouse\u2019s partnership with a leading poet of his day, which was the<br \/>\nprime determinant for the subject choice of his Royal Academy of Arts 1901 Diploma work, \u2018A<br \/>\nMermaid\u2019. \u2026 The discovery and significance of a previously undocumented important friend \u2013<br \/>\nRichard Willes Maddox, a genre, flower, mythological, literary and portrait painter \u2013 is also revealed.<br \/>\nWaterhouse\u2019s connection to both the Imperial Arts League, as well as to the Yorkshire Union of<br \/>\nArtists (including his Presidency of it for almost 21 years) is also of great interest. \u2026 The full<br \/>\nsociability of the artist is also revealed. Apart from Waterhouse\u2019s attendance at a large number (at<br \/>\nleast 20) of the annual Royal Academy of Arts Banquets, it has also been determined that<br \/>\nWaterhouse attended at least 27 luncheons\/dinners\/suppers\/banquets\/costume balls\/summer<br \/>\ngarden parties between 1888 and 1913; interestingly, five of Waterhouse\u2019s dinner attendances were<br \/>\nprestigious ones with Great Livery Companies of the City of London. Waterhouse\u2019s attendance at a<br \/>\nprestigious \u2018Society function\u2019 in 1889 has also been determined. Detailed too are Waterhouse\u2019s<br \/>\ndefinite attendance at 6 non family (Waterhouse and Kenworthy branches) weddings, 3 of which are<br \/>\nHenderson family (patrons) ones; there are also two further likely wedding attendances at other<br \/>\nHenderson weddings. It has been both unexpected and utterly fascinating to discover that \u2018the<br \/>\nelusive dream D\u00fcrer\u2019s \u201cMelancholia\u201d [Melencolia I] hung in the studio [of Waterhouse]\u2019. \u2026 It has<br \/>\nproved stimulating to discover the names \u2013 \u201cShuna\u201d and \u201cCluny\u201d \u2013 of the Aberdeen Terrier dogs<br \/>\nowned by Waterhouse and his wife. Related to \u201cShuna\u201d, a precious 1909 letter extract astonishingly<br \/>\ninsightfully reveals \u2018they [Waterhouse and \u201cShuna\u201d] were always together in the studio\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;www.phoneandcomputerworld.co.uk&#8221;]Website by PhoneandComputerWorld[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Best Selling Book Section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;rgba(148,166,191,0.34)&#8221; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;90deg&#8221; background_color_gradient_start_position=&#8221;40%&#8221; background_color_gradient_end_position=&#8221;0%&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/worldsweets.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/paper.jpg&#8221; background_blend=&#8221;multiply&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|0|180px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.jwwaterhouse-2021biography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-JWW.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;02 JWW&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;5%&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;35px&#8221; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;70px&#8221; box_shadow_spread=&#8221;-35px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.6)&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;70px|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Nunito|600|||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Abhaya Libre|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;64px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1080,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-993","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>JW Waterhouse 2021 Biography - Rob Cartwright<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The New JWWaterhouse 2021 Biography By Rob Cartwright.
