Biography

Nutter Buzacott

Born Perth 1905, Nutter Buzacott was working with James Flett, Mervyn Wallis and Dominic Leon at Patons Advertising Company, Melbourne in the early l930s. Before 1930, Buzacott had experimented with linocuts, lithographs and etchings, most of his prints showing his sympathy with the working class. Buzacott married Herbert McClintock's sister Winifred in 1933. He was in Europe 1935-38, studying at Colarossi’s in Paris and the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London. He was greatly influenced by the drawings and wood-engravings of lain MacNab and on his return to Melbourne in 1938, reported “London had become the centre of wood engraving”. Buzacott moved to Queensland in 1949, in about 1962 he moved to South Tweed Heads where he lived until his death in 1976.
