As the eighth child of William and Anna Caroline Spencer, Stanley's early education took an unconventional turn, guided primarily by his elder sisters, Annie and Florence, at home before he enrolled in the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1908 to 1912 under the tutelage of Henry Tonks. The frankness with which he explored sexuality in works like Love Among the Nations (1935) – a complex and emotionally charged painting depicting a group of villagers engaged in a picnic – scandalized some critics and led to rejection from the Royal Academy for a period.
