Biography

Graham Redgrave-Rust was born in Hertfordshire, England in 1942. He studied drawing and painting at the Regent Street Art School, the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London and the National Academy of Art in New York.[1] For two years he worked as an artist on Architectural Forum for Time Inc. In 1968 he spent a year as artist in residence at Woodberry Forest School, in Orange, Virginia, United States.[2]

He is internationally renowned for his murals and ceiling paintings.[citation needed] His most important work is the mural "The Temptation" in the entrance hall of Ragley Hall, Warwickshire, which was started in 1969 and finished in 1983.[3] The mural was commissioned by Lord Hertford after he had seen Rust working on a mural in Virginia, USA. The Ragley Hall mural was painted using gouache directly onto the plaster, portraying a view of the Mountain of Temptation and several of Lord Hertford's relatives.[3]

He has illustrated various books including the 1986 edition of 'The Secret Garden', by Frances Hodgson Burnett and the 1993 edition of 'Some Flowers', by Vita Sackville-West.

He has paintings in the collections of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Museum and Tabley House.[4]

Graham Rust lives and works in Suffolk and illustrated a cookery book by the late Countess of Clanwilliam,[citation needed] who commissioned his first mural painting in 1965.
