This artist exhibited twice at NAG in 1926, with the Art Metal Industrial Class.
Cathy Harrison is a collage artist based in Mawnan Smith. Sustainability is at the core of her artistic process, which involves the upcycling of old magazines and junk mail, to create captivating paper collages.
Listed as exhibiting handprinted silks and stuffs in the Craft section at the Christmas Show at Newlyn in 1925. Another (or the same) exhibitor, noted as C H HARRISON, also showed work in the Craft section at the Christmas Show of 1926. These may be a married couple of craftworkers or separate exhibitors.
Information provided in 2013 by Tony Copsey suggests that this artist may be Miss Coela Pryce Harrison, who studied in St Ives under Leonard Fuller.
A Philadelphian, who stayed at Tregenna Castle Hotel for some months in 1889. He had been in Pont Aven and Concarneau with other French and American artists, and studied under Jules BASTIEN-LEPAGE and Gérome.
David C P Harrison creates large Cornish granite and steel sculptures. After taking a masters degree in design, another in business administration and developing a successful career in senior management, he returned to university to study Fine Art and found himself drawn to Cornwall's harsh environment, the source of inspiration for his work.
Having originally qualified as an architect, Harrison came relatively late to pottery.
He spent a year at the LEACH POTTERY (1979-80) gaining a thorough grounding in every aspect of clay-work, from preparing the clay, throwing, glazing and firing to working in the showroom. Janet LEACH was a valued critic, and he was able to sell his own work through the showroom.
In 1981 he converted stables to create Trelowarren Pottery, where he created and sold his own range of domestic tableware, using Celadon and Tenmoku glazes.
In his Helston studio shop he continues to show his work alongside the woven tapestries and rugs created by his wife Jackie Harrison, and the ironwork and jewellery of their daughter Lisa WISDOM (Smythick Forge, nr Helston).
Ian Harrold was educated in Leicester and, encouraged by his Quaker headmaster, gained a place at the John Cass School of Art in Whitechapel, London. While a student, he worked part-time at the Whitechapel Gallery under Sir Nicholas Serota. Here he came into contact with British Minimalism. After graduating he worked as a production manager for Cartier, and as a silversmith, selling and exhibiting his work widely. During this time he became involved in developing the technology for video graphics, and its use in the world of marketing. He formed his own broadcast graphics company and enjoyed a long career producing work for all the major UK television channels. His qualifications include a DipAd, City & Guilds Higher Diplomas in diamond mounting and gemology and a design award from the Royal College of Arts.
After moving to north Cornwall in 2014, Harrold turned his attention to printmaking, in particular collagraph and etching. He also works in oils, using handmade paints.
Mr Harry of St Just displayed a model of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (358 BC) at the NAG Summer Exhibition 1928.
Lesley Harry is a Falmouth-based printmaker. Her work explores edges in the landscape, and the juxtaposition of static and moving forms. Most of her coastal line drawings are created in situ, while sailing.
Her work can be seen at the John Howard Studio in Penryn, and 'The Square', St Mawes.
The tenth of twelve children of artist Thomas HART, and one of seven children to also become artists, although she did not take it up professionally as did five of her brothers. Ruby Irene was born at the Hart family home at Polbrean on the Lizard in 1877. She was still living at the family home in 1901 but in 1910 she was married at St Thomas District, Devon, to Lewis Charles Fortescue (1873-1915). Later that year, on 22 October, they left for New York City on the SS New York. They returned on 2 May 1915 and Lewis died four days later.
Ruby Hart died in the district of Totnes in 1940, aged 63.
Sydney Ernest Hart was born at the Lizard in 1867, one of twelve children of Thomas HART. He is described as a landscape painter in 1891 and as an artist in 1901. At both times he was still living in the family home at Polbrean at the Lizard. He exhibited jointly with his father and his brother Percival Horace in Suffolk in 1889. Sydney was also with his father on a painting trip to Norway in 1901 and appears to have settled in Norway. His Cornish coastal watercolours can probably be dated to up to 1901 and his Norwegian works to after that date.
Sydney Hart remained single. He died of pneumonia at Odda in Norway, where he was buried. His gravestone is recorded online. He appears in the Norwegian censuses of 1910 and 1920. His death is recorded in the British Consular records for Bergen in 1921.
See the Hart family website for information on this group of artists.
Born at Crowan in Cornwall, Thomas Hart was baptised at the parish church there on 31st January 1830, the son of Thomas and Mary Hart. He therefore could perceivably have been born in 1829. By 1841 the family had moved to Falmouth. There largely self -taught, he began to build up a reputation as an artist and is recorded as such in 1851. By 1854 he was exhibiting his watercolours regularly at the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society and a year later was acting as a judge in the annual Fine Art competitions. The society's reports make frequent reference to his 'effective marine pictures'. As well as painting he also taught art in Falmouth and in 1857 eleven of his pupils are recorded as winning prizes in the schools section of the Polytechnic competitions.
He was elected a Fellow of the Society of Artists in 1856 and was a council member in 1861 and 1862. He was unsuccessful in becoming a member of NWS in three consecutive years from 1862. He exhibited in London including RA from 1865 to 1880. Along with his painting he took an early interest in photography and for a time in the early 1860s he had a photographic studio in Plymouth. This seems to have ended around the time he married Louisa Hallamore at Falmouth in 1862. However he continued his interest in photography, entering photographs at the Polytechnic for several years before becoming a judge in the photographic competition.
In 1868 he had a house built at Polbrean at The Lizard and by 1871 he had moved his family to live there. According to the 1871 census his daughter Marie Louise HART was born there in 1867.
Thomas Hart was father of twelve children, seven of whom became artists themselves, five of these professionally: Horace Percival HART, Herbert Passingham HART, Claude Montague HART, Tracey Douglas Dyke HART, Ruby Irene HART, Marie Louise HART and Sydney Ernest HART.
He continued to live at The Lizard for the rest of his life although he did undertake some tours, possibly to Italy and Norway. He died at The Lizard aged 86 in 1916.
Born at the Lizard, Cornwall, in 1871 the sixth of twelve children of artist Thomas HART. Using watercolours, he painted landscapes of the Lizard area and Cornish coastal scenes. He liked to paint panoramic views, as did his father. He is recorded as a landscape painter at the family home, Polbrean at The Lizard in1891 and is probably the Thomas D Hart who was a boarder at Mullion Cove Hotel as a watercolour artist in 1901. After that there is little known of his life and he probably emigrated to USA in 1910 as there is a record of a Tracey Hart sailing to New York on the Adriatic in that year. He died in Vancouver aged 60.
Jenny returned to Cornwall in 1983 after being more than ten years away, and found her re-entry very inspiring to her etching and printmaking. She has remained permanently since and lives in Gulval near Penzance, where she works from her home studio. For some years until its closure she showed frequently at the Small Print Works in Bread Street, Penzance, and at a wide variety of art fairs and galleries.
Beatrice Leaf Hart (not Louise as catalogued for the sale of the below work) was born at The Lizard in 1872, another of the artistic children of Thomas HART. Her only known work is a view of Housel Bay, The Lizard dated 1883 and inscribed 'Age 11 years' formerly in the collection of Ron Manuell and sold at David Lay's Auctions in April 2011. This work shows a great deal of competency for one so young and it would be surprising, given her family background, if she did not execute further works. Information on such works would be welcomed.
Beatrice Hart was married in 1893, at Landewednack, to Edwin Marrack, a merchant (1859-1895, Para (Belem), Brazil). A six-month old daughter, Mary Louise (May) also died there in January 1895 (Cornishman, 4.7.1895). In the 1901 census Beatrice is a widow at Southport, Lancs.
In 1907, she married for the second time, to Laurence H P Bouverie (ca. 1849-1920, Penzance). In the 1911 census they are living in Southport, both stated 'of private means'.
Beatrice Hart was married for the third time in 1931, in Plymouth, to Harry Robert Landymore (1860, Stow area, Suffolk - 1933, Plymouth).
She died in Plymouth in 1964, at the age of 92.
The first of twelve children of artist Thomas HART, born at Falmouth in 1863, and one of seven children to also become artists. He married in 1892, probably to Jessica Silvia Pockett at St Giles, London. Little is known of his artistic career. He died at Falmouth in 1901 at the age of 37.
Noted in the Show Day of 1923 report by the St Ives Times as being a pupil of John A PARK.
One of seven children of artist Thomas HART who also became artists in their own right, the others being Herbert Passingham HART, Horace Percival HART, Marie Louise HART, Ruby Irene HART, Sydney Ernest HART and Phil Whiting. He was born at The Lizard in 1869
'Monty' studied painting in Antwerp but returned to the Lizard in Cornwall which provided the subjects for many of his seascapes. Many paintings were sold locally to visitors, but by 1940s demand had dropped and he ceased painting. He was deeply involved with the Lifeboat Service, and for thirty-nine years was Secretary for the local Lizard rescue boat. Apart from his time in Antwerp c 1891 he lived in the family home, Polbrean at The Lizard all his life and died there in 1952 aged 83.
His early works were usually signed Claude M Hart, whereas later he reverted to just C M Hart.
A son of Thomas HART and one of twelve children who also became an artist, HP was born at Falmouth in 1864, Cornwall, .
In 1889 Horace HART, Phil Whiting and their father, Thomas HART, exhibited drawings and pencil sketches in a joint exhibition at Ipswich, Suffolk. This was important enough as an occasion to be reported locally in The Cornishman.
He married Isabella Preston at Edmonton, Middlesex in 1890 and by 1891 they were living at Newport, Monmouthshire with HP recorded as an Artist Painter. In that year a Percival Hart exhibited one watercolour from 5 Crindan Road, Newport. There is also a watercolour by Percival Hart in Newport Art Gallery. He painted views of Cornwall and the London Docks in the 1890s.
He died in the Helston district in 1896 aged 31.
The third of twelve children of artist Thomas HART, and one of seven children to also become artists, although she did not take it up professionally as did five of her brothers. Marie Louise was born in 1866 at the Hart family home at Polbrean on the Lizard. She is recorded there as a scholar in 1881 but by 1891 she had moved to London.
She and George Kingston Hall Brutton, an attorney (1866-1947) were married at St Pancras in that year, and moved to Shanghai, where their daughter, Marguerite, was born. Marie Louise is recorded in the 1911 census as living with Marguerite, then 15 years old, in Eastbourne. She died in Plymouth in 1942.
Born at Stocking Pelham Rectory, near Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire Alfred was one of four sons of Revd Charles Hartley, rector of Stocking Pelham and his wife Hannah nee Welsh, who had married at Camberwell in 1848. His studies were taken at Royal College of Art, South Kensington, and at Westminster School of Art under Brown. Moving back to Camberwell with his family and then to Dunmow, Essex, he was a member and exhibitor at the Ipswich Art Club from 1891-1903, and described as a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.
He married at Hastings, Sussex on 5 May 1896, Leonora LOCKING (1856-1943), also an artist, and in 1901 the couple were staying with wealthy 41 year old Annie Gurney at 18 Palace Garden Terrace, Kensington.
Hartley moved to St Ives with his wife, aka Nora, in 1904, living consecutively at two addresses on Bellair Terrace (No. 7 being one of these). They joined the St Ives Arts Club in 1906. During his time in St Ives, Hartley was known as a master in etching and coloured aquatint, and offered printmaking classes which attracted many students. He went on to develop an international reputation for print work. The Royal British Colonial Society of Artists held an exhibition in Winnipeg, USA, in 1920, which included an aquatint by Hartley.
In 1907 he exhibited and sold the etching An Essex Stream at NAG. He also founded the New Print Society in St Ives, and in 1911, 1913 and 1924 exhibited at St Ives Show Days. In 1924, both he and his wife showed work from their travels to Bordighera, Italy, Alfred showing charming small pastel studies, Nora painting the streets and the town. He was a master at evocative atmospheric effects, though in his later years he became crippled with arthritis. He died in the East Preston district of Sussex in 1933, aged 78.
In the September RCPS Annual Exhibition of 1846, the artist's wood-carving Peter the Great won First Class prize. The home residence of the exhibitor was given as Penzance.
Mentioned in Berriman Arts and Crafts in Newlyn 1890-1930 in connection with Cryséde - possibly E M HARVEY of previous entry.
His Figures cast in Iron won the First Prize in the Sculpture section of the Cornwall Polytechnic's Annual Exhibition in 1834 in Falmouth. The artist sent his work from Hayle. (He was possibly a member of the Harvey family that ran the iron Foundry at Hayle; Iron casting was not a "back shed practice".)
