Noel Harry Leaver (1889-1951) was a painter born at Austick, near North Settle, Yorkshire, but is better known as a Burnley artist, the town in which he lived and worked for most of his life. He is most famous as the painter of distinctive North African views. A talented artist, he was one of the youngest ever pupils of the Royal College of Art when he started his studies there at age sixteen, graduating in 1910 having won several scholarships and travel bursaries, using them to travel to Europe and North Africa. Leaver returned from Italy in 1912 to take up the first of his teaching posts at the Halifax School of Art, where he worked until 1915. After this he taught at the Burnley School of Art until the mid-1930s. His earlier works are usually signed in mixed lower and upper case 'Noel H LEAVER ARCA' and are dated 1920-1929. His later works were usually signed in capitals 'NOEL H LEAVER', without the ARCA. A northern artist called Cyril Hardy painted in a similar style and his painting is sometimes confused with Leaver's. Much of his work is in the collection of the Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museum, Burnley, where an exhibition of his work was held in February 2004.
