Cecil Rea

Cecil William Rea was a British artist.
In 1897, he was living at 53 Beaufort Street, Chelsea, London.
In 1908 to 1909, Garden Lodge, in Logan Place, Kensington, a neo-Georgian house behind a high brick wall, was built for him and his wife, the sculptor Constance Halford. The architect was Ernest Marshall. Rea lived there until he died in 1935, and Halford until her death in 1938.
His work is in the permanent collections of the V&A, the Art [Gallery of New South Wales|Art Gallery of NSW], and the Paul Mellon [Centre for Studies in British Art|Paul Mellon Centre].
In 1993, an artwork of his sold at Christie's for £1430.
