Natural historian and artist, born in Warwick, who attended Leamington Spa Art College, Bournemouth College of Art and Slade School of Fine Art. Measures was a pioneer of the movement to change the study of natural history from collecting and killing towards observation and conservation. He was noted for his rapid sketches of subjects such as butterflies in flight, as in the Arts Council 1981–2 tour Fragments Against Ruin. In 1976 his work was published in Bright Wings of Summer, and in 1980 he organised an exhibition for the 1980 York Festival, The Artist-Naturalist in Britain. Solo show at The Yard Gallery, Nottingham, 2000.
