Aldin's sense of fun shines from every line.He based the drawings on real puppiesso that they never became mere caricatures.Anyone who knows dogs will feel a sense of affinity with Aldin's depiction of these canine scallywagsportrayed by the finest of all dog illustrators. Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin 1870-1935 Worked as Cecil Aldin.Born in Slough Berkshireson of a successful speculative builder.After a month in the studio of the 'classical-aesthtic' painter Albert Moorehe studied animal anatomy at the South Kensington School of Artand later worked under the animal painter Frank Calderon.See my book ID rja449913 - ANIMAL PAINTING & ANATOMY The New Art Library 2nd Series - Vol XVIII. Aldin achieved early success as a comic illustratorcontributing to numerous periodicals during the 1890sand designing posters for Cadburysin particular.He lived in Chelseathen at Bedford Parkwhere a flourishing artists' colony included his friends Dudley Hardy and Lance Thackeraythen moved to Henley-on-Thames where he became Master of Foxhounds in 1914.He retired to Mallorca in 1930. Sharing the values and aspirations of a wide audiencehe achieved immense popularityevoking the English dream of Life in the Country in a relaxed and easy graphic style.As well as hunting scenes in which he largely avoided the suggestion of mud and raw weather so insistently present in the work of his sporting artist contemporary G.D. Armourhe specialised in delicately shaded drawings of country innsin cheerful olde worlde scenes and canine subjectsparticularly dog-portraits the best of which are the humorous ones.In theseit was said he 'captured the very soul of a dog'. Roy HeronAldin's biographeris a former Fleet Street editor.His books include 'Cecil AldinThe Story of a Sporting Artist'; The Sporting Art of Cecil Aldin' andin France 'Cecil Aldin et les chiens'.
