NEW EXHIBITION 

Paintings of Menton by Humphrey Waterfield:
“Painter, Gardener, Scholar”
1908-1971
 

Humphrey Waterfield was an artist and a gardener. He studied at the Slade School of Art and
although he became known for his gardens, Hill Pasture in Essex and the garden of his parents’
house, Le Clos du Peyronnet, in Menton, it was as an artist that he wished to be remembered.
The works in this exhibition were all painted in Menton between 1945 and his death. They show
the garden of the Clos du Peyronnet, some scenes of the town and many still lifes with pots from his collection. The paintings all belonged to his nephew William Waterfield who came to run the garden after Humphrey’s death.
All profits from these works will be donated by William’s widow, Judith Pillsbury to benefit
St John’s church and the library.
