FRANK PATTERSON
- Cycling Artist (1871-1952)
“Cycling” artist
Frank Patterson was born in Portsmouth, England, October 12th 1871,
during the reign of Queen Victoria. At that time, the bicycle was developing
as a popular means of transport, opening up countryside travel to everyone-including
Patterson, for whom cycling art became a life long passion. In a career
spanning over 59 years, Frank “Pat” Patterson illustrated
for “Cycling” magazine, “C.T.C.
Gazette”, and numerous other publications, producing many thousands
of drawings chronicling the golden age of the bicycle. “Pat’s” studio
was tucked away at his beloved Pear Tree Farm in the Sussex countryside
, where he worked and raised his family, entertained, and became quite
the country gentleman. Before he passed away on July 17, 1952, Frank
Patterson left a legacy that tells a cycling story unsurpassed in its
skillful use of line, space, detail, powers of observation and mood.
He is recognized the world over as a master of his craft. Alas, very
few colour Patterson works have been available in recent times. Until
now.
