He became a fine figurative draughtsman, but his work was also influenced by the Cubists. Was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Showed at RA, RBA (became a member in 1934), RE and elsewhere. Arthur Tooth and Son and Apollinaire Gallery gave him one man shows. Public collections in Bradford, Brighton, Herbert Art Gallery in Coventry and Rochdale hold examples of his work.
