John Tweed (21 January 1869 – 12 November 1933) was a Scottish sculptor.

Early life

John Tweed was born at 16 Great Portland Street, Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art.[1] He then trained with Hamo Thornycroft in London, and attended the Royal Academy Schools at the same time.[2] Together, they created the frieze on the Institute of Chartered Accountants' building in London.[3] In 1893 he moved to Paris with the hope of studying with Auguste Rodin; this proved impossible as Rodin would only accept pupils who would spend four years under his supervision.[4]

Personal life

In 1895, he married Edith Clinton, secretary to the National Society for Women's Suffrage, the first national group in the UK to campaign for women's right to vote.[3] Also in 1895, they moved into 108 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London, and Tweed lived there until his death in 1933 aged 64.[5] He was buried at Chelsea Old Church.[4]

Legacy

The first major exhibition of Tweed's work since 1934 ran from March to September 2013 at the Sir John Madejski Art Gallery, Reading Museum, Reading, England.[6] The Victoria and Albert Museum have called him the "British Rodin".[2]
