Geoffrey Webb (artist)

Geoffrey Fuller Webb (5 August 1879 – 20 January 1954)[1][2] was an English stained-glass artist and designer of church furnishings, based for most of his career in East Grinstead.

Webb took an active part in the life of East Grinstead, co-founding its Civic League[11] and joining its repertory company, for which he painted theatre posters.

This is considered the standard book on its subject, and it had a highly beneficial effect on Webb's career, making his name known to a large number of potential clients.

[11] His brilliant blues are especially characteristic,[25] as is his readiness to use a good deal of white glass, which he justified with the statement that "the first function of a window is to admit light".

In 1929 he helped to form the Company of Saint Joseph, a body of Catholic artists reportedly devoted to "the regular study of liturgical rules, rubrics, and decrees", and he gave lectures in their support.
