Refimprove date December 2009 Ruskin Spear , Order of the British Empire CBE , Royal Academy RA 30 June 1911 17 January 1990 ref http fineart.ac.uk artists.php?idartlist 144 FineArt.ac.uk ref was an England English painter. Born in Hammersmith , Spear attended the local art school before going on to the Royal College of Art in 1930. He began his teaching career at Croydon School of Art, going on to teach at the Royal College of Art from 1948 to 1975. Initially influenced by Walter Sickert Sickert and the Camden Town Group , and the portraiture of the Euston Road School , his work often has a narrative quality, with elements of humor and respectful satire. Because he used a wheelchair due to childhood polio , much of his work focused on his immediate surroundings. He rendered the citizens of Hammersmith relaxing in and around the local pubs, theaters and shops. A retrospective of Spear s work was held at the Royal Academy in 1980. His work is represented in the Tate Gallery Collection. He was appointed a Order of the British Empire Commander of the Order of the British Empire CBE in 1979. Spear was the father of musician Roger Ruskin Spear .
