Biography
Born in the island's capital, Douglas,[3] Kneale studied painting at the Douglas School of Art, from which he graduated in 1947, and then moved to London, to study at the Royal Academy Schools.[4] In 1948, he won the Rome Prize and spent some time living in Italy.[3] During the 1950s, he learned welding, and in 1960 took to sculpture in preference to painting, and became a teacher.[3]
He has taught at Hornsey College of Art and Design, and from 1963 until his retirement from teaching in 1995 he taught sculpture at the Royal College of Art.[4] He was also Master and later Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy between 1982 and 1990.[1] In addition to his teaching, numerous exhibitions of his own painting and sculpture work have been held since 1953,[3] and his works are displayed in countries such as Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and the United States.[3] In the US, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City includes examples of his work amongst its public collections.[1]
He was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Prize in 1952, as well as the Daily Express Young Painters' Prize (1955) and an Arts Council Purchase Award (1969).[4] After a successful solo show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1966, Kneale became the first abstract sculptor to be elected a Royal Academician in 1974. He accepted the honour only on the condition that he be allowed to curate a show of contemporary sculpture which resulted in a groundbreaking survey of some of the period's most exciting sculptors.
Kneale is the younger brother of the screenwriter Nigel Kneale (1922–2006),[5] best known for his Quatermass television serials. Kneale illustrated the covers for Penguin Books' releases of his elder brother's Quatermass scripts in 1960.[6] He was also responsible for a painting of a lobster from which BBC special effects designers Bernard Wilkie and Jack Kine drew their inspiration for the Martian creatures they constructed for Quatermass and the Pit (1958–59).[7]
For his sculpture Capt Quilliam, he received the 2007 Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture.[8] He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours, for services to British Art.[9]
