Joseph Crawhall (20 August 1861 – 24 May 1913Who's Who 1914, p. xxi) was an English artist born in Morpeth, Northumberland.
Life
Crawhall was the fourth child and second son of Joseph Crawhall II and Margaret Boyd. Crawhall specialised in painting animals and birds. He was born 20 August 1861 at Morpeth, Northumberland. He trained at King's College London before going to Paris to work with Aimé Morot in 1882.{{cite web|title=Joseph Crawhall 1861–1913|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/joseph-crawhall-957|publisher=The Tate|accessdate=4 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107001857/http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/joseph-crawhall-957|archive-date=7 January 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}
In the 1880s and 1890s, his work became associated with the Glasgow Boys. He was strongly influenced by the Impressionists, and his work, like theirs, was rejected by the art establishment, in his case in the form of the Royal Scottish Academy.
In 1887/88 he visited Tangiers with Pollock Nisbet, Robert Alexander and Robert's son Edwin.{{Cite web |url=http://www.fasedinburgh.com/artists/477/ |title=Edwin Alexander - Artist - the Fine Art Society in Edinburgh |access-date=16 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181007223128/http://www.fasedinburgh.com/artists/477/ |archive-date=7 October 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}
In the 1880s he travelled throughout Morocco and Spain, abandoning oil painting and moving to watercolours with a lighter palette.
In April 1894 art dealer Alexander Reid gave Crawhall his first one-man-show, at the inaugural exhibition at Reid's new gallery at 124 St Vincent Street in central Glasgow. The principal buyer of Crawhall's work from this exhibition was William Burrell. Reid had introduced Crawhall and Burrell at a private dinner party at his house on 13 April.Alexander Reid in Context, Frances Fowle,_vol1
He died in London in May 1913.{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/47213113/mr-joseph-crawhall/ |title=Mr. Joseph Crawhall |newspaper=The Times |page=11 |date=1913-05-29 |access-date=2020-03-23 |via=Newspapers.com}}
Legacy
Many of Crawhall's works are in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and in the Burrell Collection. His works are few because he is known to have destroyed those he was unhappy with.
A portrait of him by Walter Westley Russell is in the City Art Centre, Edinburgh.{{Art UK bio|name=Joseph Crawhall}}
