Hugh Finney was a painter, draughtsman and teacher who trained
initially at Bromley School of Art, where he attended evening
classes from 1915, and then at Beckenham School of Art to where he
won a trade scholarship in 1918. He studied painting with Amy
Katherine Browning and etching with Eric Gill. Around 1927 he won a
scholarship to the Royal College of Art, where he studied under
William Rothenstein. Horton, Houthuesen, Ososki and Freedman were
amongst his friends at the college. In 1929 after graduation he
took up a travelling scholarship to Rome returning to teach
part-time at Chelsea School of Art under Percy Jowett and later
Harold Sandys Williamson. From 1927-1934 he exhibited at the NEAC.
In 1935 his painting Mother and Child was acquired by Carlisle Art
Gallery. During WW2 Finney worked for the light rescue service of
the Civil Defense. After the war he taught part time under Anthony
Betts at Reading University and was in charge of life drawing there
when he retired in 1970. Although he was reclusive and reluctant to
show his work he did exhibit at the RA Summer exhibition (in 1950
and 1954) and the Portrait Society and at The Paris Salon. A large
solo exhibition took place at the University of Oxford's Institute
of Education in 1964.
