Description: A biographical sketch.
The Encyclopeadia of the Unexplained , Routledge and Kegan Paul, p.226 Often considered the grandfather of Chaos Magick, Austin Spare was born on December 30th 1886 at Snowhill, London, the son of a City of London policeman. When he left school, at the age of thirteen, he served an apprenticeship in a stained-glass factory, and in the evenings attended the Lambeth School of Art, South London. This enabled him to obtain a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, Kensington, where he began to study in earnest.. Even at this young age, he was astonishingly talented. One of his drawings was surreptitiously sent by his father to the Royal Academy, where it was accepted and exhibited. His pictures were imemdiately popular in the Art world. The painter John Singer Sargent hailed Spare a genius, and G. F. Watts declared that Spare had 'already done enough to justify his fame'.
