Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929) is remembered today as a master painter of the human figure, exemplified both by his early narrative paintings and by his portrayal of the male nude. In his out-of-doors 'studio' on secluded Newporth beach near Falmouth he ca
A timely survey of this significant British artist and the complexities surrounding his work and reputation today Famed for his depictions of sun, sea, and sailing during a late Victorian and Edwardian golden age, the British painter Henry Scott Tuke RA (1858-1929) is an intriguing artistic anomaly. Moving between Cornish-based artist colonies and the London art scene, stylistically Tuke presents a fusion of progressive plein airisme, loose impressionistic handling, and a vivid palette, and yet he was fundamentally an academic painter of exhibition nudes. Though consistently successful throughout his lifetime, in the wake of two world wars Tuke's depictions of bathing boys came to represent a seemingly outmoded epoch. This far-reaching study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art. Essays tackle questions of wide-ranging artistic influences, experimental art practice, and a varied reception history. Tuke's repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes provokes challenging questions about the depiction, exhibition, and reception of the body--especially the young body--both then and now.
"Thomas Cooper Gotch, born in Kettering in 1854, spent most of his painting life in Newlyn, with spells in the Home Counties. He travelled widely on the continent - living in France and visiting Italy and Skagen, Denmark - and collections of his work in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa bear witness to his strong links with the Commonwealth countries." "Gotch and his painter wife Caroline were popular members of the Newlyn 'art colony', active in the artists' theatricals and social gatherings. Gotch painted few Newlyn paintings of distinction - his imagination soared far beyond the recording of everyday life - but one of his most notable en plein air paintings, Mental Arithmetic, predated Stanhope Forbes's iconic Fish Sale on a Cornish Beach, and was one of the first 'Newlyn School' paintings to be acquired by a public collection." "Pamela Lomax's biography is the first full-length study of a remarkable painter of great vision who, despite his many friendships and art-world affiliations, was far and away the most individualistic of the Newlyn artists. He was a founder member of the New English Art Club, set up by French-trained artists to challenge the conservatism of the Royal Academy. From some time he greatly admired and supported James McNeill Whistler, but when divisions occurred in the NEAC, he favoured Newlyn realism to the impressionism of the London-based members."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
