John, Augustus Edwin (1878–1961). British painter. John was born in Tenby (Wales), the son of a solicitor. A brilliant student, he trained at the Slade School, then went to Liverpool as an art instructor. In the first decade of the 20th cent. he was at the height of his powers, expressing in art and life an independent and rebellious nature. Although he had been rejected for military service, he served in Paris as an official war artist for a few months. Between the two world wars, he became the leading society portraitist. He was elected ARA in 1921 and a full academician seven years later. Following an argument over the rejection of another artist's work, he resigned from the academy in 1938 but was re-elected in 1940 and awarded the OM in 1942. The National Gallery at Cardiff has a number of John's paintings.
