Paul Hogarth R.A.

Paul Hogarth R.A. was born in Kendal, Cumbria in 1917. His family moved to Manchester when he was just six years old. As he grew older and began to take an interest in drawing and painting he enrolled at the Manchester School of Art where he would begin his art student life. He would later go on to study in London at St Martins School of Art.
