Teacher, painter, designer and sculptor, born in Montreal, Canada. He originally crossed the Atlantic to France to study medicine, but instead attended E´cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he revered his teacher Gérôme. He showed widely in France winning gold and silver medals at the Paris Salon. But he was best-known as a teacher in Paris, in Meudon and, after World War I, in London. Tudor-Hart was a taskmaster, his methods being outlined by one of his students, R A Wilson, in his privately published Memoirs of an Individualist. In England Tudor-Hart showed at RA and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. He lived in London but eventually returned to Canada, dying in Quebec.
