The story of art in Cornwall

The purpose of the Cornwall Artists Index is to preserve and make accessible the invaluable history of the art and artists of Cornwall. The index is an invaluable and ever-growing database of artists known to have worked in the county.

From Newlyn to Lamorna

From Newlyn to Lamorna is an exhibition of paintings by artists associated with the early Newlyn School and pre-WW1 Lamorna Group. The exhibition is a collaboration between two galleries and will be "fluid" as paintings will be changed during the show. One of the highlights is a series of Lamorna paintings by Eric Ward, one of Cornwall's leading contemporary artists.

Norman Garstin (1847 – 1926)

Norman Garstin was an Irish artist associated with the Newlyn School of painters. He was born in Caherconlish, Co. Limerick, Ireland, and was involved in various professions such as journalism and gold mining (in South Africa).

In 1885 he befriended members of the Newlyn School and settled there a year later, moving to nearby Penzance in 1890.

His work consisted primarily of small oil panels in the plein air style, something he had picked up from the French Impressionists such as Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas. He taught 40 students a year on European summer schools for some 25 years and is credited with teaching Harold Harvey, the Cornish Newlyn School painter.

We were recently fortunate to acquire one of Garstin's sketchbooks, which contained a large number of superb watercolours painted during his travels across the south of England in 1919. They are all incredibly fresh, with strong colours, and are all presented in high-quality double mounts and gilt frames.
