STANLEY GRIMM (1891-1966)
STILL LIFE OF ANEMONES 
 
Stanley Grimm was born in London and was a descendant of the brothers Grimm of fairy tale renown. He was orphaned at an early age and was brought to Russia by his father’s family. He studied painting at Riga Art School from 1910-13 then continued his studies in Munich from 1913-14.
 
Stanley was conscripted by the Bolsheviks to paint propaganda posters in Russia, from which he was reputed to have escaped in a smuggler’s boat. After World War I he settled in London and continued to paint here until his death.
 
He exhibited in the Redfern Gallery in 1925, Beaux Arts in 1927, Bloomsbury Gallery in 1930 and the Wertheim in 1932. He also exhibited extensively abroad and also at the Royal Academy, Goupil Gallery and the Leicester Galleries in London.
 
His work is held in many private and public collections, notably the Government Art Collection and the Sheffield Art Gallery, both of which have examples of his floral still life paintings.
