Charles John Allen (2 September 1862 – 1956) was a British sculptor, and a figure in the New Sculpture movement.
Biography
Born in Greenford, Middlesex, Allen studied at the Lambeth School of Art and then apprenticed with the London architectural sculpture firm Farmer & Brindley in 1879, becoming the assistant to Hamo Thornycroft for four years. In 1894 Allen moved to Liverpool, where he spent more than thirty years as a respected teacher at the University of Liverpool and Vice-Principal at the Liverpool School of Architecture and Applied Arts, which became the Liverpool School of Art in 1905.
Allen died in 1956 at Farley Green, Albury, Surrey, where he had lived with his sister since the death of his wife, shortly after his retirement from teaching.
