About the Item
John Berry is a well-known English artist who painted portraits of the royal family. During his career, he discovered Edward Curtis's photographs of Native Americans and became awestruck by the strength and power each portrait held. He studied them in-depth and became an expert in depicting the Native American lifestyle and portraits. This painting entitled "Yellow Hair Sioux" is an original oil on canvas painting measuring 60x36 in. This is a portrait of chief Yellow Hair of the Sioux Tribe. Chief Yellow Hair, a Native American Rosebud Sioux is holding a sword, with a feathered headdress, a leather and fringe shirt and leggings, and beaded moccasins. Only the bravest and powerful men of the tribe wore headdresses. Warriors earned a feather each time he did something the tribe felt was a brave act.

John Berry was born on June 9, 1920 in Hammersmith, London, England. His father left him, his mother, and sister when Berry was five years old. John was educated locally then he moved on in 1934 to the Hammersmith College of Art. In 1939, he earned a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy but his studies were interrupted by the Second World War. John volunteered in 1940 for the R.A.F. (Royal Air Force). With them, he served in the Middle East and Western Desert. He spent much time in Cairo, Egypt where he gathered inspiration for some of his later paintings. At a holding unit, John Berry finally got his shot: he offered to produce a poster promoting the national day of prayer. When the Air Marshal Arthur Tedder learned of his artwork, Berry was moved to the 8th Army as a War Artist. John returned to the UK and found work with Major James Riddell, a wartime acquaintance. While John produced drawings in a number of books by Riddell, his primary income came from advertising. In the 1950s, he began working for Ladybird books and illustrated thirty-five books in the 1960s and 70s.
During his career, he discovered Edward Curtis’ photographs of Native Americans and became awestruck by the strength and power that each portrait held. He studied them in-depth and became an expert in depicting the Native American lifestyle and portraits.
He was a prolific portrait artist as well, painting Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke Edin- burgh, as well as any individual that would drop off a photograph.
In 1951, Berry married June East. Together they had two daughters and three sons. Following June’s death in 1986, Berry married his second wife Jessie Showell in 1989.
A few of Berry’s paintings have been exhibited at the National Gallery. They now reside in the Imperial War Museum. In 2004, he and Marty Aitchison were exhibited in the Simon Finch Gallery for their Ladybird work. John Berry died on December 10, 2009.

Artist Bio:
George Dunlop Leslie RA (London 2 July 1835 – 21 February 1921 Lindfield, Sussex) was a British genre painter, author and illustrator. He was born into an artistic family; his father was the notable genre painter Charles Robert Leslie RA, and his uncle Robert Leslie was a marine artist. He studied art first at Cary's Art Academy, then from 1854 at the Royal Academy. His first exhibition at the Academy was in 1859, and he showed his work every year thereafter. He became an Associate (ARA) in 1868 and a full Royal Academician (RA) in 1876.George Dunlop Leslie lived early on in St John's Wood (London), and was part of the St John's Wood Clique, a group of artists who favoured light-hearted genre subjects. From 1884–1901 he was resident at "Riverside", St. Leonard's Lane, Wallingford, Oxfordshire. His sister Mary Leslie (1833–1907), also an artist, lived at "Cromwell Lodge" next door. Fellow artist, James Hayllar, was also a resident of the village and they painted a portrait of Queen Victoria together for her Golden Jubilee in 1887. From 1906 he lived at "Compton House" in Lindfield, SussexHis early works, such as Matilda (1860) showed the strong influence of the Pre-Raphaelites, but he settled into a more academic, aesthetic, style of painting with the aim of showing "pictures from the sunny side of English domestic life". He often used children as subjects and his work was praised by John Ruskin for its portrayal of the "sweet quality of English girlhood". One of his pictures, This is the Way we Wash our Clothes, was used as a poster in an advertising campaign for soap. Despite its apparently trivial subject matter, however, Leslie's work was highly regarded by critics of the time.In 1889 during his time at Riverside house in Wallingford Leslie is credited with painting four angel murals in St Leonards Church.Leslie was also an author and had several books published. Our river (1888), Letters to Marco (1893) and Riverside letters (1896) were all illustrated by him in black and white, and based on personal observations of life and nature in his local area. He also wrote a history of the early years of the Royal Academy - The inner life of the Royal Academy.Leslie was married to Lydia. They had a daughter Alice (depicted in his painting Alice in Wonderland) and a son Peter Leslie...
