Employment

Maxwell Armfield chose to study at the Birmingham School of Art because of its growing reputation. He was influenced by the artists he worked with, Henry Payne (1868-1940), Arthur Gaskin (1862-1928) and Joseph Southall (1861-1944). After taking Gaskin's advice to visit Italy in 1902, he went on to Paris, sharing a studio with Norman Wilkinson (1884-1934) and another tempera painter, Keith Henderson (1883-1982). His 'Manual of Tempera Painting', published in 1930, was dedicated to Southall.
