Frederick James 'Fred' Elliott, 1864-1949, was
a prolific watercolour painter and lithographer, active in Sydney from the
1890s to the 1920s, specialising in marine subjects.
Frederick James 'Fred’ Elliott was born in Paignton near
Brixham, Devon, UK, son of Alfred Elliott. Fred Elliott immigrated to
Queensland in 1876 when his father was appointed teacher at Humpybong School
near Redcliffe, Queensland. Elliott worked as a lithographic artist in the
Queensland Government Printing Office from July 1896 to about 1903. He was a
prolific artist, painting almost invariably in watercolours, occasionally in
oils. He specialised in marine watercolour studies, travelling up and down the
coast by ship and sketching scenes that he later turned into paintings. Mainly
painting Sydney Harbour, including views and individual ships. His watercolours
are characterised by a high key and strong atmospheric effects. He showed his
paintings infrequently in the Queensland National Association’s exhibitions and
with the Queensland Art Society and the NSW Society of Artists. He signed his
paintings. More on Frederick
