Born in Sheffield, England, Dudley Hardy (1867-1922) was born into the art of painting. His father Thomas Bush Hardy (1842-1897) was also a painter. Under his guidance Dudley Hardy showed a distinct talent at a young age. Hardy, who was interested in politics, went to the Academy of Arts in Düsseldorf on his father's advice and with his father's support. He was taught by the German genre painter Hugo Crola, among others.
Dudley Hardy distinguished himself as an artist who expressed his private interest in his painting. He was particularly captivated by London's lower classes and was interested in the continent of Africa. Thus he made a name for himself in 1889 with detailed genre paintings. His drawing of homeless people in Trafalgar Square in London was exhibited in 1893 at the Salon de Paris with the title "Sans Asile". For the Royal Academy of Arts he also created his view of the "Dock Strike", the great London harbour strike of 1889, but Dudley Hardy also made a name for himself as an illustrator for newspapers. Also postcard motives belonged to his repertoire.
But it was poster art that enabled Dudley Hardy to put his finger on the pulse of the times. Inspired by Jules Chéret and Adolphe Willette he designed a series of posters for the Gaiety Theatre and the Savoy Theatre in London. He had a talent for combining individual elements such as lettering, figures and buildings into a visually stimulating whole. Dudley Hardy was aware that people often perceive first and foremost with the eye. He knew about the power of targeted advertising. Thanks to his methods of visual communication, he is today considered a pioneer of modern advertising design.
