About the Artist:

Harold Harvey, England, (1874-1941) was a painter of the Newlyn School. He specialized in scenes of working class Cornish fishermen, farmers and miners as well as Cornish landscapes.

Harvey trained at the Penzance School of Arts under Norman Garstin and at the Académie Julian in Paris and after that at both the Académie Delécluse and the Academie Colarossi.

Harvey married fellow artist Gertrude Bodinnar. They first met when Gertrude posed for Harvey. She discovered that she had artistic talent and became an artist in her own right in a wide range of visual and textile arts. [DES-04/19]
