Paul Bird (artist)

[1] While on active service, Bird continued to paint and submitted a number of works to the War Artists' Advisory Committee, WAAC.

WAAC eventually purchased a small number of these pictures and they are now held in the Imperial War Museum and the British Government Art Collection.

[4] In the early 1950s, Bird taught for a time as Head of Painting at the Bretton Hall Training College.

When he left Mirfield, Bird joined the teaching staff at the Royal College of Art under Robin Darwin.

From 1983 until the last year of his life, Bird presented an influential series of summer school lectures on The Art of Seeing.
