Featured Artists
Bernard Cheese
Bernard Cheese studied at Beckenham School of Art and, following four years in the army, studied in London at the Royal College of Art from 1947, where his teachers included Edward Bawden. He taught printmaking at St Martin’s School of Art from 1950 to 1968, then at Goldsmiths College from 1970 to 1978, and Central School of Art and Design (1980–89). He designed posters for London Transport. He also did commissions for Guinness and the BBC. In the 1950s he moved to the artists’ community of Great Bardfield in Essex. His works are in the collections of the Tate, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Royal Collection, the British Government Art Collection, the New York Museum of Modern Art, and the New York Public Library.
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.
Heywood Hardy
Heywood Hardy was a British painter. Born in Chichester, Sussex. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Upon returning to England, Hardy’s work became popular and he received many commissions from the estates of his wealthy patrons. He went on to become a member of The Royal Society of Painters and Etchers, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He also worked as an illustrator for several publications, including The Illustrated London News and The Graphic Magazine. In the last years of his life, Hardy made a controversial shift from sensitive animal subjects to biblical scenes of Christ walking in the Sussex countryside. Today, his works are in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Manchester City Art Gallery, and the Bury Art Museum, among others.
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.
