Eric Taylor (artist)

During the Allied advance, although not an official war artist, Taylor sketched when his military duties allowed.

[5] At Neumünster he was allowed to sketch the Nazi leader Alfred Rosenberg in his prison cell shortly after his capture.

Initially, his compositions showed massed piles of bodies but increasingly he turned to depicting individual survivors.

[3][10] In 1965 Taylor completed a large mosaic mural for an outside wall of the Merrion Shopping Centre in Leeds.

[11][12] Taylor exhibited at the Royal Academy, the New English Art Club and the London Group and had a number of solo shows, mostly in the north of England.
