Featured Artists
Cedric Morris
Cedric Morris was a British artist, art teacher and plantsman. He was born in Swansea in South Wales, but worked mainly in East Anglia. Cedric grew up in Sketty, South Wales. On leaving school he spent his younger years intermittently abroad, regularly travelling across Europe and North Africa, whilst renting studios in
Cornwall, Paris and London. In the 1930s, Cedric and his partner, the artist Arthur Lett-Haines made Suffolk their permanent base, moving to Pound Farm in Higham where his garden became much admired. Morris developed a post-Impressionist style for portraits, landscapes and highly decorative style for still-life.
Ditz
Austrian artist Ditz paints house pets and farm animals, often in domestic settings or grouped together. Her distinctive style has evolved over time to include highly detailed, quirky, small-scale images.
Harold Harvey
Harold Harvey was a Newlyn School painter who painted scenes of Cornish fishermen, farmers and miners and Cornish landscapes. He was born in Penzance and trained at the Penzance School of Arts and the Académie Julian in Paris. After completing his schooling in Paris, Harvey returned to Penzance and began working as an artist. In 1911, Harvey married fellow artist Gertrude Bodinnar and they settled in Newlyn. Gertrude became an artist in her own right in a wide range of visual and textile arts. Harvey never achieved his due critical acclaim. However, he was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1898-1941 and held several one-man exhibitions in London, at the Mendoza Galleries, Barbizon House and the Leicester Galleries.
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her portraits, self-portraits, and
works inspired by the nature of Mexico. Kahlo had been a promising student
headed for medical school until she suffered a bus accident at the age of 18,
which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she
returned to her childhood interest in art. In 1927 Kahlo met fellow Mexican
artist Diego Rivera. The couple married in 1929, and spent the late 1920s and
early 1930s travelling in Mexico and the United States together. During this
time, she developed her artistic style. In 1938 the artist André Breton arranged
for Kahlo’s first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938;
the exhibition was a success, and was followed by another in Paris in 1939.
From the exhibition The Louvre purchased a painting from Kahlo, The Frame,
making her the first Mexican artist to be featured in their collection. Kahlo’s
work as an artist remained relatively unknown until the late 1970s, when her
work was rediscovered by art historians and political activists.
