Acclaimed Southport artist Malcolm Fryer with daughters Juliet and Katie

The family of renowned British artist Malcolm Fryer have spoken of their pride at his incredible legacy of art throughout the world after he died this week.

They have also praised staff at Queenscourt Hospice for the exceptional care he received and the support they enjoyed in the weeks before he passed away.

Malcolm died aged 85 after a battle against cancer.

He died at home, surrounded by his family, the way he wanted to go.

He leaves daughter Katie Fryer, daughter Juliet Holmes and her husband Richard, their children Becca and Ben, and his cousin Pat James.

Malcolm’s love of painting remained until the end, and he even enjoyed giving painting lessons to one of the Queenscourt At Home nurses.  His very close friend Ian Norris, who is a fellow artist also played a prominent part in sustaining his passion for painting and classical music, until the end of his life.

A prolific landscape painter, his works of art have been sold all over the UK, the USA and beyond.

He was modestly proud to be featured in Frances Spalding’s authoritative book ‘Twentieth Century Painters and Sculptors’.

Malcolm’s daughter Katie Fryer said: “Dad went peacefully, we were very grateful for that. It has not been easy, but he did his best to the last.

“He was an in-patient at Queenscourt Hospice for a few weeks, they were managing his pain well.

“It was his wish to come home towards the end and he was here for the last three or four weeks. He got his wish, which was a big plus.

“The staff at Queenscourt Hospice were brilliant. Their Queenscourt At Home staff nurses to give us a night a week, and during daytimes as well. They gave us lots of support.

“Dad turned 85 in December.

“We don’t have a date yet for the funeral, but it will take place at St James’ Church in Birkdale. We will let people know as soon as we have more details, or they can contact F.J. Gibb Funeral Directors.

Malcolm Fryer was born in Middleton in Manchester and then moved to Blackburn early on where he spent his childhood. He was educated at schools including St Silas Primary School in Blackburn. 

He started painting at the age of 10. He went on to study at Lancaster Art School. During this time he was painting landscapes of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Moors.

At 25 years old Malcolm’s first exhibition, sponsored by Guinness, was a sell-out.

He spent the 1970s in Arbroath, Scotland. Here he was appointed Warden of the Patrick Allen Frazer Art College. Malcolm was drawn to the Scottish coastal landscapes, and a productive period of painting followed.

Malcolm went on to sell works all over the UK and in the US.

He has continually exhibited in galleries and universities nationwide. He is also represented in private collections at Granada, Sky Television and Arthur Guinness Ltd.

His impressive body of work leaves an impressive legacy of paintings enjoyed by people internationally.

Katie said: “Dad was someone who always wanted to give to others in a positive way. He tried to bring peace and calm into this world.

“There are lots of people who love his paintings, and that means a lot.

“Dad started teaching in Blackpool, and then did lots of art related things, including working as a curator at The Howarth Art Gallery in Accrington, where he was instrumental in retaining the Tiffany glass collection which remains on display today.

“Lots of people know Dad through the art world, and through the antique world too.

“He enjoyed working, and painting, right up to the end.

“He was featured in Frances Spalding’s book on ‘Twentieth Century Painters and Sculptors’, which gave him a lot of standing and a lot of pride, but in his typically modest way.

“He has such an incredible work ethic. He had a very determined outlook on life.

“He reserved a real importance to colour and light in his art.

“His paintings always say something to people, in whichever way they interpret it.”

    Based on my research, after a in foreclosure home is bought at an auction, it is common for that borrower to be able to still have the remaining unpaid debt on the mortgage. There are many lenders who seek to have all service fees and liens paid back by the upcoming buyer. Having said that, depending on specified programs, legislation, and state legislation there may be a number of loans that aren’t easily resolved through the exchange of loans. Therefore, the responsibility still falls on the borrower that has got his or her property foreclosed on. Many thanks sharing your thinking on this weblog.

    Thanks for the helpful write-up. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an particularly long latency time, which means that signs and symptoms of the disease might not exactly emerge until eventually 30 to 50 years after the 1st exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common kind and impacts the area across the lungs, could cause shortness of breath, torso pains, and a persistent cough, which may bring on coughing up blood vessels.

    Thanks for your post on the travel industry. I’d personally also like to add that if you’re a senior contemplating traveling, it’s absolutely crucial that you buy travel cover for retirees. When traveling, elderly people are at high risk of getting a health-related emergency. Obtaining the right insurance coverage package to your age group can protect your health and provide you with peace of mind.

    Thanks for your helpful article. Other thing is that mesothelioma is generally brought on by the inhalation of fibers from asbestos, which is a dangerous material. It is commonly noticed among workers in the structure industry who have long exposure to asbestos. It is also caused by residing in asbestos covered buildings for a long time of time, Your age plays a huge role, and some people are more vulnerable to the risk when compared with others.

    With almost everything that appears to be developing throughout this particular subject matter, all your points of view are generally very radical. On the other hand, I am sorry, because I do not subscribe to your entire theory, all be it radical none the less. It appears to everybody that your opinions are actually not completely rationalized and in reality you are generally your self not even entirely certain of the point. In any case I did appreciate reading through it.

    I acquired more new things on this losing weight issue. 1 issue is a good nutrition is very vital whenever dieting. A massive reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, red meat, and white colored flour products may be necessary. Holding wastes parasitic organisms, and toxic compounds may prevent ambitions for losing belly fat. While a number of drugs temporarily solve the condition, the horrible side effects are certainly not worth it, they usually never provide more than a temporary solution. It is just a known incontrovertible fact that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Thanks for sharing your notions on this site.
