Malvina Cheek
Malvina Cheek, A.R.C.A., (born 8 July 1915) is a British artist, best known for her work during World War Two for the Recording Britain project. During the war she was commissioned for Recording Britain to make architectural records of old buildings in anticipation of their possible destruction. 18 finished works were presented to the scheme and her legacy is also preserved in many books.
==Early life==
Malvina Cheek was born at Hampton on Thames, the younger of two daughters of Percy Ebsworth Cheek, a banker with Glynn Mills, later Coutts (d.1954) and Jessie, née Cross. Her Christian name comes from her paternal family’s long-standing connection with the Falkland Islands. After leaving St Philomena’s, a Catholic school near Carshalton, she studied at Wimbledon School of Art and then at the Royal College of Art. Like many students of her generation she fell under the spell of the exquisite draftsman and engraver Robert Sargent Austin. She gained her RCA Diploma the year before war was declared. She taught for two days a week at the Central School of Art and was evacuated with the school to Luton. Here she continued to teach and also worked at a Blood Transfusion Unit at the local hospital, later moving to St Albans, where the art school was rapidly establishing itself as a centre of excellence. She would return to London for the weekend, a hazardous journey since there had to be total darkness on the trains to comply with the Blackout restrictions.〔Interview with art historian Magdalen Evans February 2013〕
