Henry George Hoyland (January 1895 – 29 October 1947) was a Sheffield-born portrait and figure painter. After studying in Sheffield, London and Paris, he returned to Sheffield to teach at the Sheffield School of Art from 1921 to 1929, as well exhibiting as an artist. In 1930 he moved to London with his family to continue his career as a painter. Early lifeHenry George Hoyland was born in January 1895 in Sheffield[1] and was brought up on Infirmary Road, opposite Sheffield General Infirmary. His parents were George and Rosa Hoyland, and his father ran a hairdressing business from the family home. Hoyland was known as "Harry" to his parents and brothers Colin and Leonard, and sister Mabel. By the age of 16, Hoyland was studying to be an artist. At this time he was living on Crooksmoor Road.[2] In March 1916 he enlisted for military service, and was called up on 14 August 1917. When Hoyland was called up, he was recorded as living on Western Bank, Sheffield, and was working as a laboratory assistant. He had initially wished to serve with the Royal Flying Corp, but ended up serving as a private in the 5th Rifle Brigade, London Regiment (Regimental No. 34935). He was posted to France in March 1918, and would eventually be discharged from the Army for being "no longer physically fit for War Service".[3] Art careerHoyland was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, a member of the Society of Graphic Artists, and a member of the Sheffield Society of Artists.[4] As well as portrait and figure paintings, Hoyland also painted flowers and landscapes, and experimented with wood cuts. In October 1931, Hoyland was quoted as saying that he believed the reason why there were so many schools of art at the time, was because it reflected the uncertainty and perplexity of the present age. He felt it would be a generation before artists could reach some measure of agreement as to what constitutes a good picture, but currently in a period of transition and change.[5] He exhibited work at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, the New English Art Club, the Royal Academy, the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Sheffield Society of Artists, Mappin Art Gallery in Sheffield, and the English Wood Engraving Society.[4] Personal lifeIt is unknown when exactly Hoyland studied art in London and Paris, but by 1921 Hoyland is recorded as teaching as Sheffield School of Art.[4] In 1927, Hoyland is recorded as living on Oakbrook Road.[4][6] In 1928, Hoyland married Sarah M. Mitchell-Withers in Sheffield,[7] and they had their first daughter, Rosemary, in 1929.[8] By 1929 Hoyland was recorded as living on Psalter Lane, Sheffield, and having his studio on Surrey Street.[9] Towards the end of 1930, Hoyland moved his family to London, settling on Alleyn Road, Dulwich. His studio was based in the family home, and the house is supposedly where Charles Dickens wrote some of the Pickwick Papers.[10] While living at this house, their second daughter, Karen, was born in 1936. Hoyland died on 29 October 1947 in London.[11] WorksKnown examples of Hoyland's work include:
