(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, William Alexander Sutton was a New Zealand portrait and landscape artist. History Sutton was born in Sydenham, Christchurch and attended Christchurch Boys High School. He became interested in art at an early age and was first taught in art classes by Ivy Fife and later at night classes with Colin S. Lovell-Smith. In 1934 he began his studies at the Canterbury College School of Art and was awarded his Diploma of Fine Arts in 1937. He was tutored by many well-known Canterbury artists, including Evelyn Page, Archibald Nicoll and Cecil Kelly. In 1941 Sutton was found unfit for overseas service in World War II and served as a conscript in the Home Force of the New Zealand Army who used his art skills for camouflaging activities. A year later his name was put forward for the role of New Zealand’s war artist but the role was filled by Russell Clark. Sutton then replaced Clark as an illustrator for Korero the New Zealand Army magazine. In 1945 Sutton began a part-time teaching position at the Canterbury College of Art.
