Description

The Newlyn School was an art colony of artists based in or near Newlyn, a fishing village adjacent to Penzance, Cornwall, from the 1880s until the early twentieth century. The establishment of the Newlyn School was reminiscent of the Barbizon School in France, where artists fled Paris to paint in a more pure setting emphasizing natural light. These schools along with a related California movement were also known as En plein air.

Newlyn had a number of things guaranteed to attract artists: fantastic light, cheap living, and the availability of inexpensive models. The artists were fascinated by the fishermen’s working life at sea and the everyday life in the harbour and nearby villages. Some paintings showed the hazards and tragedy of the community’s life, such as women anxiously looking out to sea as the boats go out, or a young woman crying on hearing news of a disaster. The first of Newlyn’s artists to settle in the town was Walter Langley (1852-1922) who arrived from Birmingham in 1882, followed not long after by his artist friend, Edwin Harris. Stanhope Forbes (1857-1947) arrived in 1884, although he didn’t settle until after his marriage to the Canadian painter Elizabeth Armstrong (1859-1912). Forbes was soon joined by Frank Bramley (1857-1915). Both men had almost immediate success with their Newlyn paintings, and the Newlyn School soon became identified with them.

Other Newlyn members included the talented Irish artist Norman Garstin (1847-1926), Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854-1931), Fred Hall (1860-1948), Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929), Harold Knight (1874-1961), Dame Laura Knight (1877-1970), Dod Procter (1892-1972), and Ernest Procter (1886-1935), as well as Lamorna Birch, Frederick Hall, Harold Harvey, Ayerst Ingram, Henry Herbert La Thangue, Fred Millard, Albert Chevallier Taylor and Ralph Todd. A good number of these artists who settled in Newlyn were members of the New English Art Club, but they also exhibited at the London Royal Academy. Among numerous artists who spent summers at Newlyn, was Mildred Anne Butler (1858-1941) another great Irish landscape and watercolourist artist, who visited Newlyn in 1894 and 1895.
