Artist Biography

Frederick Hines (1875-1928) was a painter and brother of the lesser-known Theodore Hines. Fred was born in Southwark, London, the son of a tin plate maker. He is believed to have been self-taught and was a prolific exhibitor, showing at the Dudley Gallery Art Society, Dowdeswells, Grosvenor Gallery, Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Manchester Academy of Fine Arts, Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. His work, mainly in watercolour, depicted figures, animals, and pastoral scenes, and they were often signed as 'Fred Hines'. He also illustrated many works, including one edition of Goldsmith's 'The Deserted Village'. Some of his illustrations, small vignettes of landscapes, were used as Christmas cards. The Lytham St Annes Art Collection has examples of his work.
