Uglow, Euan Ernest Richard

▪ 2001

      British painter (b. March 10, 1932, London, Eng.—d. Aug. 31, 2000, London), was a representational artist appreciated as much for the painstaking perfectionism that he applied to his work as for his impersonal, carefully structured nudes and still lifes. Although Uglow's work was not widely seen—he seldom produced more than two paintings a year and often laboured over one canvas for several months—in 2000 he was identified as “one of Britain's 15 most significant artists” in a show by photographer Lord Snowdon honouring the opening of the new Tate Modern museum.
