Biographical
Statement:
Harold
Arthur Drury was born in Seattle, Washington. He attended the Elam
School of Fine Arts in Auckland, New Zealand and frequented the local
museum of Native Maori art. His sojourn to London's bustling art
scene of the 40's brought him an artist's grant from Sir Edward Marsh,
secretary of state to Sir Winston Churchill and a leading patron of the
arts. The Tate gallery exhibited Drury's work in 1950 and his
paintings were reviewed by John Russell of the London Sunday
Times.
Drury has since exhibited at the
Musee d'Art Moderne, Paris; the Petit Palais, Paris; The New Zealand
Arts Council, Auckland; The Individuals Gallery, New York City and
the Bundy Gallery, Vermont, his current place of residence. He is
represented by his daughter Carol Rosalinde Drury Wilson.
