This page forms part of a series of pages dedicated to the many artists who worked in Honfleur. A full list of all the artists with a link to their works can be found at the bottom of this page.
Edward Alexander Wadsworth (1889 – 1949) was an English artist, most famous for his close association with Vorticism. He painted, often in tempera, coastal views, abstracts, portraits and still-life.
He also engraved wood and copper.
In the First World War he was involved in transferring camouflage designs onto ships for the Royal Navy, and after the war he continued to paint nautical themes.
