Oliver Clare

1853 – 1927

OliverClare was born in 1853, son of the still‑life artist
George Clare. Oliver spent most of his artistic life in
Birmingham. There are no records indicating where he received his training, though
one can be quite certain that most, if not all, of it was from
his father as their technique and subject matters are very
close.  He exhibited at the Royal Society of Artists,
Birmingham; the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and the Manchester
City Art Gallery. Throughout the late 1870′s and early 1880′s he
lived in London where he exhibited several works there at the
Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, Suffolk
Street. He died in 1927.
