Olga Lehmann (10 February 1912 – 26 October 2001) was a visual artist.
Born in Catemu, Chile, to Mary Grisel Lehmann (née Bissett) and mining engineer Andrew William Lehmann, Olga Lehmann had one sister, Monica (Monica Pidgeon), and one brother, George (Andrew George Lehmann). She was educated at Santiago College, Santiago, and in 1929 moved to England, where she was awarded a scholarship at the Slade School of Fine Art, London University.
At the Slade she studied fine art under the tutelage of Henry Tonks and Randolph Schwabe, specializing in theatrical design under Vladimir Polunin and in portraiture under Alan Gwynne-Jones.[1][2] Awarded prizes in Life Painting, Composition, and Theatrical Design, she visited Spain in the early thirties; Spanish and Moorish themes were subsequently reflected in her art.
Her productive working life as an artist spanned almost six decades, from the 1930s to the 1980s. Throughout the 1930s she acquired a reputation in the fields of mural painting[3] and portraiture.[4] She exhibited her work at the Royal Portrait Society in 1933, and with the London Group in 1935.[5] Later sitters of note consisted of people associated with the film or record industries such as singers Edric Connor, Carmen Prietto, conductor Richard Austin, and actors Dirk Bogarde and Patrice Wymore.[2] During the Blitz in 1940, her studio-flat in Hampstead was destroyed by a bomb, and much of her early work was lost.
After World War II, her name chiefly became associated with graphic design for the Radio Times, and designing for the film and television industries.[2] In 1939 she married author and editor Richard Carl Huson, by whom she had one son, author and television writer/producer Paul Huson. She was predeceased by her husband in 1984, and she herself died in Saffron Walden, Essex, in 2001.
