Description

Walter Langley was a pioneer of the remarkable colony of artists drawn to the south-west corner of Cornwall in the 1880s. Working mainly in watercolour, and a sympathetic and unsentimental recorder of the hard lives of the Newlyn fisherfolk, Langley made his name especially through a series of memorably dramatic watercolour and oil paintings. Included in this edition are also examples of the artist’s powerful charcoal drawings.

This is a revised and rewritten edition, with many new illustrations, of the study first published in 1997. It provides unique insights into the Newlyn art colony and the world of the Victorian professional artist. This edition includes profiles of friends and colleagues from Birmingham who painted in Cornwall including Edwin Harris and William Wainwright.
