FRED CUMING RA

It is with huge sadness that we announce the recent loss of Fred Cuming RA. He was a landscape painter of rare genius from the English tradition. Fred was also a teacher, who gave his time generously to young artists. He was also an engaging and entertaining speaker about his life and work.

Rye Arts Festival was privileged to conduct an exclusive interview with Fred for our 2021 Festival, which revealed much about the artist, how he worked and his warmth as a human being. You can watch the interview by clicking on the image below.

All at Rye Arts Festival send their condolences to Fred’s family.

BENEFACTORS & MEMBERS: Don’t forget you need to log in for discounts, membership information and updates.
