Hanes bywgraffyddol

Richard Harold Redvers Taylor (1900-1975) was an artist but previously he served as a soldier.

He was born in Brighton on 14 March 1900 and educated at Brighton College and Heatherleys School of Fine Art, Chelsea. His father, Harold Taylor, was a headmaster. Redvers Taylor retired in 1937 but was recalled for war service. In 1946 he began a new career as a professional painter. Between 1948 and 1958 he was given a series of six one-man shows by Lefevre and Gimples. In later years he turned to sculpture, and in 1972 an exhibition of his sculpture and paintings was held at the Kettle's Yard Loan Gallery in Cambridge. His work is held in permanent collection at the Beith Uri V Rami Museum in Israel. Rhys Davies had been friends with Louise and Redvers Taylor for over thirty years. He died on 14 July 1975 at Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Louise Taylor (née Hayden), his wife, was an American and the adopted daughter and heiress of Alice B. Toklas, the companion of Gertrude Stein. Louise Taylor died on 21 July 1977 at a Nursing Home in Suffolk. Rhys Davies inherited a large amount of money after her death.
