Hayward16635Fweb (1)
Marine, portrait and figure painter and teacher, born at Southport, Lancashire, Hayward studied architecture at South Kensington but gave it up for painting, and subsequently studied at the Warrington School of Art and under Stanhope FORBES at Newlyn. During WWI he served with Royal Field Artillery, and returned to Newlyn, being addressed as Captain Hayward.
After living in Newlyn he settled in St Ives, Cornwall, where he started teaching in the Shore Studio where he worked. Hayward was a member of St Ives Art Club. He showed at the RA Summer Exhibition 1920–47, also ROI, RSA, RWA and Paris Salon. His pictures were acquired by public galleries in Warrington and Auckland, New Zealand and the National Portrait Gallery obtained his 1933 self-portrait from the Fine Art Society in 1985. Hayward’s paintings are commonly modest in size but are notable for their depiction of glittering light on water.
He joined the Committee of the NSA, serving specifically on the Entertainments sub-committee, as his organisation skills were well known. After working at Newlyn and Paul, he moved to St Ives, and established a St Ives School of Painting (c1924) of which he was the named Principal - not the same School of Painting now in existence. He was still working there at the end of the 'forties'. He continued exhibiting with repeated success at the R.A. during the 1930’s and produced a series of prints for Frost and Reed.
He worked from Treveneth and Shore Studio and played an important role in STISA. After 1932 he refused to have anything more to do with that organisation but continued to play a part in St Ives and Newlyn's artistic life through the formation of an exhibiting set calling themselves the CORNWALL GROUP.
