Original works of art

Carlos received his early education at St. John’s Middle Class School, Kennington. From there he moved to the Lambeth Art School and thence to the Royal Academy School in 1901 on a three-year scholarship. This was renewed for a further two years.

He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1900 with a small picture entitled Soldiers; he was then 17 years old. In the same year he was awarded the National Medal [South Kensington]. This was followed by the Landseer Scholarship for painting in 1903, a British Institute Scholarship in 1904 and the Royal Academy Silver Medals in 1904 and 1906. He gained a gold medal at the Bury St. Edmund’s Exhibition of 1908.
