Alfred HAZLEDINE (1876-1957)

Alfred Hazledine, born in Mold, Wales, on September 4, 1874, and died in Uccle in 1957, is a Belgian painter, watercolorist and printmaker, whose palette is luminist.
Family and training
Born in Mold, Wales, on September 4, 1874, Alfred Vaughan Clough Hazledine is the son of Jean Roland Hazledine and Sarah Clough. He left Shrewsbury and settled in Belgium in 1898, where he became a pupil of Ernest Blanc-Garin in Brussels and of Adrien-Joseph Heymans[1]. In 1898, he married at Schaerbeek, Renée Heymans, born in 1877, daughter of Adrien-Joseph Heymans[2].

Career
Alfred Hazledine mainly paints landscapes in Brabant and in Wales in a luminist style[1]. He lived and worked for a long time in Wechelderzande, where there was a colony of artists. From 1898, he regularly exhibited at the Salons of La Libre Esthétique, as well as at the Belgian Triennial Salons.

After his marriage, in 1898, Alfred Hazledine resided first in Schaerbeek, 224 Rue Verte at least until 1907, then later settled at 29 Rue Saturnus in Uccle[3],[2].

Alfred Hazledine has been a member, since 1904, of the group Vie et Lumière which gathers impressionists and luminists for exhibitions in which the artist participates[1],[4]. From 1910, he is also a member of the circle L’Estampe where he exhibits his works at the annual salons[5]. In 1921, he joined L’Esthétique Nouvelle, recently created, and participates in the first Salon of the new circle[6].

Until 1930, Alfred Hazledine continued to exhibit his works in Brussels galleries, quietly, every two or three years[7].

Alfred Hazledine died in Uccle in the first half of 1957. A public sale, as part of his estate, took place on July 2, 1957. About twenty of his works, as well as about twenty of his father-in-law Adrien-Joseph Heymans’s, were auctioned at the Nova sale house, rue Van Moer in Brussels.
