Harold Gilman was a post-impressionist painter from England. He drew realistic everyday scenes and limited himself to the use of basic and complementary colours. His unmistakable style was characterized by short, contrasting brushstrokes. Gilman was born in Somerset in 1876, but grew up in Kent, where his father worked as a school principal. In his childhood he was occupied with other things than painting. He attended three schools before moving to Oxford University. He studied to become a teacher, graduated and went to Ukraine for a year to work as a tutor for English families. Due to health problems he returned to England and began to study painting at the Hastings School of Art. Unfortunately, it is not known what finally caused the abrupt change of profession. Now his career as a painter began.
In 1897 Gilman changed to the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Here he studied for another four years. He then moved to Spain for a year to study with the Spanish masters Goya and Velázquez. Both painters influenced the painter's artistic development. After his studies he met Walter Sickert. Sickert was a painter born in Germany who moved to England at an early age. He played a key role in the transition from Impressionism to Modernism. Together the two painters founded the Fitzroy Street Group and the Camden Town Group. The groups of English Post-Impressionists met in Sickert's studio in London. During this time Gilman visited more exhibitions in the Grafton Galleries. He admired the works of Van Gogh, Signac and Gauguin, which influenced his work. He used stronger colors and designed his paintings exclusively in the style of post-impressionism. His paintings became more popular, so he soon exhibited them. It is said that he hung postcards of Van Gogh's works in his apartment and compared them with his best paintings again and again - sometimes he hung them next to each other.
Later he taught young painters at the Westminster School of Art. He rediscovered his old passion for teaching and eventually founded his own school with his friend, the painter Ginner. At this time he met the American painter Grace Cornelis Canedy and fell in love. The two marry and have two daughters and a son. His marriage does not last long. In the meantime he travels to Scandinavia and meets locals along lonely fjord landscapes and portrays Norwegian everyday situations. Two years before his death he marries his former fellow student Sylvia Hardy at Westminster Abbey in London. He dies in 1919 from Spanish flu and is buried in London.
