Pryde, James (1866–1941). British painter and designer. In the 1890s he designed posters with his brother-in-law
William Nicholson as
‘J. W. Beggarstaff’ and these are probably his most famous works. Pryde sometimes supplemented his income at this time by taking small parts on the stage. As a painter he is best known for dramatic and sinister architectural views, with figures dwarfed by their gloomy surroundings. They have something of the spirit of
Piranesi's prison etchings, but they are broadly brushed. Pryde—‘tall and handsome’, but ‘dilatory, extravagant, and unproductive for long periods’ (
DNB)— produced little after 1925. However, in 1930 he designed the sets for Paul Robeson's memorable
Othello at the Savoy Theatre, London.
