Edward Halliday: Art for Life 1925-1939

by Ann Compton

This is the first monograph of a Liverpool-born artist who enjoyed a national reputation between 1930 and 1960. Published by the University of Liverpool Department of Art Collections in Autumn 1997, it is now also available from Liverpool University Press. Halliday is still remembered as a portrait painter, but he also worked successfully as a muralist, public speaker on art and design issues and as a radio and television broadcaster. All these aspects of Edward Halliday’s career are reviewed in the exhibition and catalogue Edward Art for Life 1925–39 with a view to restoring a reputation that is richly deserved.
