Edward Carrick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Carrick (born Edward Craig) (1905-1998) was an art designer, film director, author and illustrator.^[1]

The grandson of actress Ellen Terry, Carrick's father was Edward Gordon Craig, the theatre practitioner and stage designer.^[1] Craig changed his last name to Carrick to disassociate himself from his father. Carrick's disassociation with his father arose from an acrimonious disagreement over his engagement to a young woman, Helen Godfrey, in 1928.^[1]

Carrick was the art director of the Crown Film Unit, part of the British Government's Ministry of Information.^[1] Carrick's grandfather was the model and painter Gaetano Meo, of whom he was writing a biography at the time of his death.^[1]
