Albert George Stevens 1863-1925
Born in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, in 1863, Stevens attended The Academy in Antwerp, and by the 1890’s was a well established watercolour artist, mainly depicting rural scenes in Yorkshire, where he settled. He was a founding member of the Staithes Art Club in 1901, based around Whitby.
Stevens exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Walker Gallery Liverpool, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Yorkshire Union of Artists.
His works are often large, and show an impressionist basis, with great depth achieved though careful control of the watercolours. He was particularly fond of reflections on water.
