Griffith, Julius Edward Lindsay, 1912-1997 : Julius Griffith was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1912. He studied at the Vancouver School of Art under Charles H. Scott, Frederick Varley and J.W.G. MacDonald. After the death of his father, he moved with his mother to England in 1928. There he studied at the Slade School and Central School of Arts & Crafts. With the onset of World War II, Griffith worked with "Air-raid Precautions" and later joined the Red Cross. While assisting at a country-house hospital in Sussex, he taught art and, in his spare time, studied Russian. In 1942, he joined the Royal Navy as an interpreter under the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. From 1942 to the end of the war, Griffith was stationed in Murmansk and Archangel, Russia. In 1946, he returned permanently to Canada.

Once home, Griffith established himself as a graphic artist and wood engraver. He later studied at the Ontario College of Art under Frederick Hagen who became a life-long friend. The Picture Loan Society in Toronto gave him four watercolour exhibitions. He also exhibited at the First International Biennial of Prints in Tokyo, Japan in 1957 and at the Brooklyn Museum's 20th International Biennial Show of Watercolours in 1959. He also exhibited prints at the Art Gallery of Hamilton in 1960 and watercolours at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1962.

For several decades, Griffith taught art in Toronto at the Western Technical School, the Artists' Workshop, Ryerson Polytechnic Institute, Central Technical School and the Ontario College of Art. In 1988, he was made a Life Member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art and, in 1995, he received an achievement award for his contributions to excellence in art from the Ontario College of Art.

Griffith was a member of the Canadian Society for Painters in Watercolour with which he frequently exhibited in group shows. He was also a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Canadian Society of Graphic Artists. His work is in the permanent collections of the Imperial War Museum in London, England, the National Gallery of Art, the Canadian War Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Toronto City Archives, the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Glenbow Museum and McMaster University as well as numerous corporate and private collections. Julius Griffith died in 1997.
