Biography
Arthur Hayward was born in South Port, Lancashire 27th November 1889. He studied at Warrington School of Art and subsequently moved to Cornwall, home to a thriving artists’ community centred on Stanhope Forbes, with whom Hayward studied, and the town of St. Ives. Hayward settled in Penzance painting subjects similar to those of the Cornish artist Harold Harvey (1874-1941) also a Penzance resident, works suffused with the particular Cornish light.br>
He moved to St. Ives in the mid 1920’s painting local figures and characters, together with views of the harbour and fishing boats. Hayward was also a portrait painter of note. A self portrait of 1933 is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London, he exhibited a further self-portrait at the Royal Academy in 1947 and he received numerous commissions.
Hayward exhibited widely, at the Royal Academy from 1920 to 1947, at the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour, at the Royal Scottish Academy and at the Paris Salon. He was a member of the St. Ives Art Club and Principal of the St. Ives School of Painting.
