CLAUSEN, GEORGE (1852-), English painter (see 6.467). His recent work has been chiefly landscapes, such as “The Fields in June” (1914), now in the Cardiff gallery, and “Midsummer Dawn” (1921), but has also included portraits and figure work such as “The Window” (1912), now in Cape Town gallery. For the Imperial War museum he painted the large “Gun Factory at Woolwich Arsenal” (1919), broadly decorative but very refined in handling. His decorative work also includes “Renaissance" (1915) and decorations for the Hall at High Royd, Huddersfield, consisting of life-size figures in lunettes. He was elected R.A. in 1908, and is a member of the R.W.S. He is represented in the Tate gallery by “The Girl at the Gate” (1890) and “The Gleaners Returning” (1908).
