Death of Richard Constable, Vice President of BAS

Concrete Castles

RICHARD CONSTABLE

Richard Constable, who died in September, was a great-great-grandson of John Constable. He was a tireless defender of his forbear’s work and was well respected amongst the community of Constable scholars. He was himself an artist and teacher, producing highly accomplished paintings over a long career. He was for many years an exhibiting member of the Bruton Art Society and remained a Vice President of the Society until his death. He will be missed by many members of the Society.
