An Insight into the Newlyn School.
From the 1880s Stanhope Forbes, Walter Langley, Frank Bramley and others working in Cornwall began to be recognised as a discrete school. Examining the process of that recognition, there will be a description of how the work of the Newlyn-based artists responded to international movements and ultimately how they came into conflict with trends elsewhere in British art.
