Caricaturist and painter, also known as Quiz, born in London, son of a county court judge, William Evans, and brother of the artist Gwen Evans. He studied with Spencer Gore and Robert Bevan, the Camden Town Group painters; under Henry Tonks at Slade School of Fine Art, 1915–17; and with Walter Sickert and Sylvia Gosse with a period at Westminster School of Art. Served with Welsh Guards on the Western Front in France, 1918. Visited Sickert in Dieppe, 1920. Evans’ early aspirations as a painter of London scenes were cut short when he began drawing for publications which included The London Mercury and The Saturday Review. His caricatures could be cruelly grotesque, as work in his two Leicester Galleries exhibitions in the mid-1920s and one at Colnaghi, in 1932, the latter two sell-outs, showed.
