Featured Artists
Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper was born in Nyack, New York. After leaving high school he studied at the New York School of Art. In 1906 he visited Paris and became influenced by the impressionists. In 1910 Hopper returned to New York and in the following years painted some of his most recognisable paintings. In 1923 he married Josephine. Although they lived in New York they spent much of their time and most of their summers in Massachusetts where he painted the architecture and the landscapes in and
around Cape Cod.
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.
Tirzah Ravilious
Tirzah was born in Gillingham, Kent. After finishing school she attended the Eastbourne School of Art from 1925-1928. It was here that she met Eric Ravilious. In 1928 she moved to London and studied at the Central School of Art. Tirzah was a skilled wood engraver; She was commissioned to produce woodcuts for Kynoch Press and the BBC. Tirzah and Eric married in 1930. In 1931 they left London and moved to rural Essex where they started a family. She gave up her art to raise their children and to support Eric with his career. Thankfully Tirzah’s work is now starting to get the recognition it deserves.
John Northcote Nash
John Northcote Nash was the younger brother of surrealist landscape artist Paul Nash.
Nash never received any formal art training. However, his elder brother Paul, who had studied at the Slade School of Art, encouraged him to develop his skills. A joint exhibition with Paul in 1913 was successful, and John was invited to become a founder-member of the London Group in 1914. From 1916 to 1918, Nash volunteered with the Artists Rifles in the First World War. At his brother’s recommendation, he became an official war artist. After the war He became a teacher, taking a position at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford from 1924 to 1929. In 1929, he bought a summer cottage in Essex, where he would turn his efforts to painting picturesque East Anglian landscapes.
