1980-1968. Born in Hampstead, London, he studied at Clare College, Cambridge, then at Calderon's School of animal painting, at the Slade and at the London School of Art.
In 1923 Newton began producing architectural views of London, the work for which he is best known. These paintings are notable for the precision with which they are painted and for the unnatural stillness they evoke, a quality emphasised by them being almost always night scenes. His paintings include The Regent's Canal, Paddington painted in (1930), Canal Scene, Maida Vale (1947) and other waterscapes.
In 1947 he became a Vice Pesident of the Inland Waterways Association a position he held for the rest of his life
