Miles Balmford Sharp (1897–1973) was an artist, born in Brighouse, Yorkshire, England. He studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a painter in oil paint and water-colour, focusing mainly on landscapes and architecture. Alongside his painting practice Sharp was also a keen etcher, engraver and lithograph artist. Sharp exhibited widely including exhibiting works at the Royal Academy, London, England. Royal West of England Academy and Birmingham Society of Artists. From 14 May – 12 June 1937, Sharp had a large scale exhibition at The Foyles Gallery Charing Cross Road, London, titled ''English Landscapes, an exhibiiton of oil paintings and engravings of English landscapes'', including forty seven oil paintings, and ten etchings and line engravings. The works often depicted his surroundings in Nuneaton with this exhibition containing works depicting George Eliot's birthplace, and hospitals and rural settings in and around Warwickshire. These local scenes where painted later in his career when he took up a position as Principal of the Nuneaton Art School between 1925–1952. Some of the water colours made during this period where exhibited in Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery in the exhibition ''Moments in time''. More recently, Sharp's work was included in the BBC project ''Your Paintings'', which aims to allow easy access to painting in public collections online.〔 ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miles Balmford Sharp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
