Carlo Norway
Carlo Norway (born 1886)[1] was an artist who worked in multiple mediums but specialised in lino-cuts and who was a member of the Decorative Art Group (founded 1916).[2]
Norway studied at Colarossi's in Paris, and later at the Royal Academy in Dresden.[1] He toured Europe. Norway was well known in London bohemian circles before the First World War and a customer at the Crab Tree Club.[3] In 1919 he was subject to a coruscating review of his work at the Adelphi Gallery by Ezra Pound, being described as being in an "aggravated state of utter uncertainty, hoping to please everybody at once".[4] In 1926 he exhibited at the Chester Gallery in London.[5]
