Note 1:
Born in London, grandson of Jean and son of Henry, a jeweller from Camberwell of French Huguenot descent, Aumonier was known as a landscape painter and textile designer. The surname was probably a pseudonym assumed by grandfather Jean. He studied at the Birkbeck Institution and at the Royal College of Art. He designed patterns for calico printing, but gave this up after 1873, having begun landscape painting in his spare time. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1871 - 1907. He held an exhibition of watercolours at the Leicester Galleries 1908, and his work was included at the Goupil Gallery in 1908, and reviewed in The New Age, Volume 2, p. 58. His paintings included landscape scenes of Cornwall, Dorset, Sussex, Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Wales and Montreuil. He was elected member R.I. 1876, R.O.I. 1883, the New Watercolour Society 1879 and the N.E.A.C. 1887. He died in London. A Memorial Exhibition was held at the Goupil Gallery in 1912.
For a while, James Aumonier lived at Fellows Road (Camden, London NW3) where he made a partnership with painter-etcher Alfred Bayes to buy land on which they built twin houses. He is recalled by Alfred's daughter Jessie. He had four children, Nancy, Frank, John ("Jack") and Louise. Jessie describes Aumonier's large oil landscapes as "stark and rather forbidding like himself", and Aumonier as "the King of Spades" amongst a circle of fellow artists including Lionel Smythe. He also lived for a time at East Harting, Petersfield, in 1884 and at Steyning, Sussex, in 1887.
James' nephew, Stacy, was a landscape painter and decorative designer, who later turned to writing (crime and mystery: compared with Arthur Conan Doyle). In turn, Stacy's brother William and nephew Eric were sculptors.
