About the book >.>.> Twenty one years have elapsed since the first and only exhibition to be devoted to the earlier artists of the Newlyn School. Since this pioneering exhibition organised by Michael Canney interest in late Victorian painting has increased greatly. The belief that an important contribution to the history of English art was made in Newlyn is now more widely accepted. Many of the artists came to Newlyn because it offered them the opportunity to work in sympathetic surroundings all the year round together with other artists who shared the same aims and ideals. Often their styles were already formed when they arrived. But they were all inspired by Newlyn. To have included works by all the artists who came to be associated with the Newlyn School and to have followed the changes of style in each artist’s work would have led to confusion. We have set out to demonstrate the scope and especially the quality of the Newlyn School during the period when the artists were a relatively coherent group enjoying shared ideals and methods. (LL)
