A Cornish Perspective

Royal West of England Academy 31/5/09 - 5/7/09

^{This summer the Royal West of England
Academy, Bristol hosted "A Cornish Perspective", a major exhibition of
work by current members of the Newlyn Society of Artists. Also featured
within the exhibition was a selection of historical pieces, including
works from the society’s founders.
The society currently has over 150
professional artists working in a variety of media such as painting,
mixed media, photography, printmaking, video, installation and
performance. The Newlyn Society was founded in 1896 by a group of
painters from the Newlyn Art Colony whose figurative paintings
concentrated on land and seascapes and the industries around them such
as fishing, mining, and farming. Past members from its early beginnings
such as Norman and Althea Garstin, Lamorna Birch, and Dame Laura Knight,
were included in the show. The Newlyn Society’s famous post-war period
was also represented with works by Paul Feiler, Terry Frost, Roger
Hilton, Patrick Heron, Barbara Hepworth, Bryan Pearce, and Karl Weschke.

The exhibition was curated by RWA Academician Denny
Long.}
