Magazine Art Blog from Cornwall

If you’re passionate about Cornish female artists, this article is perfect for you. It explores key figures and the galleries showcasing their work. Discover the stories of both contemporary and historical artists who have shaped Cornwall’s vibrant artistic legacy, including Joanne Short, a contemporary member of the Newlyn Society of Artists, alongside renowned figures such as Dod Proctor, Dame Laura Knight, and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, all of whom have exhibited their work there.
Throughout art history, the beach and sea have been popular subjects for painters worldwide. The beauty and character of seaside towns and villages have been depicted over the years by many artists - from the French Impressionists and post-impressionists on the southern coast of France, Normandy and Pont Aven in Brittany, to the Newlyn School of Painters in Cornwall in the southwest of England. From Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to JMW Turner and the Newlyn School of painters, the beach has been a source of inspiration. In this blog, we will look at some of our favourite paintings of the beach.
The Lamorna Cove to Porthcurno coastline has been a source of inspiration for artists for centuries. The rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and dramatic sea views have captured the imaginations of painters, photographers, and sculptors alike. In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the art that has been created in this area over the years. We'll also explore the work of contemporary artists John Dyer and Joanne Short, who both enjoy to walk and paint in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
