Life and career[edit]
Hyman Segal was born in London in 1914 and was educated at the Jews' Free School. He was one of seven children of a family of Russian immigrants who lived in the East End of London. At the age of 12 he gained a scholarship to Saint Martin's School of Art and developed skills in painting, sculpture and design. He became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists.
He set up his own advertising design studio; one of his commissions was the poster for the 1936 All Blacks tour.[2]
Following war service in Africa with the Royal Engineers, he settled in Cornwall. He joined the St. Ives Society of Artists and was one of the breakaway group of nineteen modernists including Peter Lanyon, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicolson and Bernard Leach, that founded the Penwith Society of Arts in 1948.[3] He also worked in St Agnes and as an art therapist at the Tehidy Sanatorium.
He died in St Ives in December 2004, aged 90.[4]
