Introduction
The Cornwall and Devon Galleries Guide is a much enlarged version of the successful West Cornwall Galleries Guide, first published as a two sided A4 sheet in 1994. The West Country has always had a reputation for excellence in the visual arts and since the opening of the Tate St Ives in 1993, leading to a major growth of the number of galleries in the area, ‘Cultural Tourism ‘ has become a major contributor to the local economy.This booklet gives an indication of the surprisingly wide range of ‘Temples of the Arts’ that exist in the two counties. In 2000 , for the first time we branched out into the rest of Cornwall and were able to present a selection of interesting establishments outside the West Cornwall peninsula and then was expanded to take in many of the Devon galleries. Although the high number of galleries in the far west peninsula means that this area tends to dominate the guide we are pleased to welcome a number of new faces from other parts of the peninsula, a list that stretches from the Scillies to the far borders of Devon . Each of the galleries featured has a strong profile of its own, historic paintings of the old Newlyn School can be found amongst the fine collection at Penlee House, The Royal Cornwall Museum- and also at the public galleries in Devon. The Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum feature the work of the St Ives School artists of 1930-75, whilst the Penwith Society, now fifty years old, shows pictures and sculpture by the major artists of today. The Arts Council sponsored Newlyn Gallery manages to maintain a double identity as the home of the Newlyn Society and also as the major space in Cornwall for travelling contemporary shows not usually seen outside the big cities. This year the newly refurbished Newlyn Gallery re-opens as does a new annexe of the Gallery The Exchange in Penzance. Many of the galleries outside Penwith reflect the wealth of talent in their own surrounding areas and of course there are the many private galleries scattered throughout the area, showing the work of the many thousand artists and craft workers who are based in Cornwall and Devon. It is important to remember that these unfunded galleries depend on sales to survive, so if you can’t afford that expensive masterpiece at the moment, the purchase of a small pot, print or card could well help secure the venue’s continued existence.

The St Ives Art Colony - a brief history by Roy Ray
Turner was the first major artist to visit St Ives during his West Country tour of 1811 when from a high vantage point, he made a small sketch of the town, harbour and coast beyond. By the 1870s, St Ives, with its near Mediterranean light was attracting artists of many nationalities who were moving between North America, Scandinavia, Central Europe and the British Isles. This ebb and flow of artists was made easier in 1877 when the Great Western Railway opened its branch line to St Ives.  At that time there were about eighty studios in the town including a number of large converted sail-lofts on Porthmeor Beach.  Whistler spent the winter of 1883/4 in the town and was visited by his student Walter Sickert. 
During the 1920s and 30s the towns most significant painters were  John Park and Borlase Smart, the latter taking a leading role in establishing the St Ives Society of Artists in 1928. In the same year Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood made a day trip to the town during which they discovered the primitive painter Alfred Wallis. He had taken up painting in his seventies to pass the time after the death of his wife. Self taught, he used household and ships paint on on irregular shaped scraps of wood and cardboard. 
In 1938 Borlase Smart persuaded the portrait painter Leonard Fuller to open the St Ives School of Painting and in the following year Ben Nicholson, his wife, the sculptor Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo moved to St Ives. Mondrian was also invited but went to the United States. With the potter Bernard Leach, who, with Shoji Hamada, had set up his Pottery in 1920, St Ives now had the nucleus of a modern art colony. Wilhelmina Barns Graham came in 1940 and, with the war over, many younger artists were attracted to the town.  Many became residents in the area notably, John Wells, Patrick Heron, Terry Frost, Bryan Wynter, Denis Mitchell, Sven Berlin and the only abstract painter born in St Ives, Peter Lanyon.
Borlase Smart encouraged the ‘moderns’ with their fresh ideas to join the St Ives Society of Artists. Later Lanyon, Wells, Barns Graham, Wynter, Berlin and the printer Guido Morris formed the Crypt Group which became part of the breakaway group that lead to the formation of the Penwith Society of Artists. Founded as a tribute to Borlase Smart, Herbert Read was its first president and Nicholson, Hepworth and Leach were amongst its founder members.
The 1950s were exciting times and the work of the younger contemporary artists (later to be known as the ‘Middle Generation’) and the writings of Patrick Heron contributed greatly to the status of St Ives as an internaional art centre to rival New York. Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler and the art critic Clement Greenberg all visited the town as did the British painters William Scott, Alan Davie, Victor Passmore, Sandra Blow and Roger Hilton.Barbara Hepworth’s home and studios are now a museum administered by the Tate Gallery and many of her major sculptures stand where she placed them in her secluded garden.
Following the 1985 Tate London show ‘St Ives 1939-64’,  which renewed interest in the colony, the Tate Gallery offered to lend its collection of St Ives paintings and sculpture if a gallery could be built in the town. Vigorous campaigning, particularly by St Ives Tate Action Group (S.T.A.G.) brought about considerable public and financial support for the project.
Since its opening in 1993 by HRH Prince Charles, the Tate St Ives visitor numbers have exceeded all expectations, creating a considerable boost to the economy of West Cornwall.  More galleries and studios are emerging across the region and the arrival of a younger generation of artists ensures that St Ives will maintain its unique position in the art world.

Painting in Newlyn
The small Cornish fishing village of Newlyn, on the shores of Mounts Bay underwent a transformation between 1880 and 1900. It became the centre for a group of artists who started a new movement in British art. As a result the name of Newlyn was to travel across the world.
Many of the artists had studied in France and Holland and spent their summers painting in Brittany. It was their Breton experiences which encouraged them to seek a comparable environment in England , and Newlyn seemed the perfect place. Indeed the similarities between Brittany and Cornwall were such that in1884 the artist Stanhope Forbes wrote shortly after his arrival in a letter to his mother: “Newlyn is a sort of English Concarneau and the haunt of a great many painters”. The other major artists, besides Forbes, who joined the Newlyn colony were Walter Langley, Edwin Harris, Ralph Todd, Leigh Suthers, Henry Scott Tuke, Alexander Chevalier Tayler, Fred Hall, Frank Bramley, T. C. Gotch, Elizabeth Armstrong (later Forbes), William Fortescue, Norman Garstin, Frank Bourdillon and Henry Rheam.
By 1888 their coherence as a group had been recognised by the title “The Newlyn School”. The artists shared a set of ideas. Most of them were admirers of the French realist painter Bastien Lepage, and they followed him in depicting everyday scenes of village life with absolute fidelity to nature, painted where possible on the spot or en plein air’. Their style was distinctive; the colours muted and the tones subtle; the use of square ended brushes gave their paint surfaces a robust and textured effect and blurred the outlines of the images.
Their paintings became highly regarded and were exhibited
regularly at the Royal Academy; several major works being acquired for national and municipal collections. The School was recognised by the critics and there were many favourable reviews.
The best work of the School was completed between 1885 and 1895. By 1900 many of the original artists had left to pursue their careers elsewhere. Some, notably Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes, T.C. Gotch, Walter Langley and Norman Garstin stayed on.
It was the fame and continuing presence of these artists that played a major part in bringing the next generation to Cornwall. One of the first to arrive was Lamorna Birch, who came from Lancashire circa 1889. Others such as the Cornish born Harold Harvey and Alethea Garstin were attracted by the work of the early Newlyn artists.
It was, however, the Newlyn “School of Painting’ founded by the Forbes’s in 1899, which provided the main focal point for the new generation. Students arrived during the early 1900’s and the School provided them with not only a centre of study, but also a ready made social life which flourished in the seemingly idyllic years before the First World War. Some of these students stayed for varying periods but others spent their entire lives in West Cornwall; notably Dod and Ernest Proctor, Frank and Jessica Heath, Robert and Eleanor Hughes, Ruth Alison, Kathleen Earle, Geoffery and Jill Garnier and Gladys Hughes.
Charles Simpson came to West Cornwall in 1905, attracted by the landscape, and in 1907 Harold and Laura Knight arrived, encouraged not only by the favourable reports of a fisherman they had met in Staithes, but also by Laura’s overwhelming response to the exhibition of Cornish paintings which she had seen at Nottingham Castle in 1894: “The most important exhibition I had seen at the Castle was of the Newlyn School, then at the peak of its fame. My favourite picture then was Frank Bramley’s Hopeless Dawn. Tears came into my eyes, I thought it so wonderful. There was a little grey picture of Newlyn Bridge by Stanhope Forbes; I did not know that anyone could paint like that”. The following year, 1908, Munnings paid the first of many visits to Cornwall; “For years we had known of the famous Newlyn School and were curious to see this country that attracted artists”
From ‘Painting in Newlyn’ by Caroline Fox (Newlyn Gallery Catalogue - 1985)

Devon
This sixth issue of The Cornwall and Devon Galleries Guide is based mainly on an amalgamation of the Cornwall Galleries Guide which was first published in 1993, and the Devon version which Bob Butler edited for a couple of years. The concept does seem to work, with advantages for the public who have a handy guide to get them around the dozens if not hundreds of galleries in the area and to the gallery owners who are able to attract the travelling art enthusiast from other parts of the peninsula.Although Devon does not enjoy as rich a tradition in the visual arts as its illustrious neighbour there are many nuggets to be uncovered here and the breadth of experience admirable. There may be no ‘ St Ives’ or ‘Newlyn’ schools of artists to offer historic sustinence and no ‘names’ on a par with Hepworth, Nicholson, Frost, Heron, Leach and Stanhope Forbes. However Devon need have no sense of inferiority, it probably has as many galleries and craft centres as Cornwall and many of these are equally exceptional. It can boast contemporary artists of the calibre of Robert Lenkiewicz, Beryl Cook, James Ravilious and Peter Randall-Page amongst others as well as some of the finest craft workers in the country. It offers artists the inspiration of superb natural landscapes and a way of life which is sympathetic to the artistic temperament. It also attracts an increasingly sophisticated public, both as residents and visitors, and this is reflected in the growth not only of arts establishments but of a vibrant and eclectic cultural identity.
We are obviously keen to have all the better Devon galleries in this publication and would be glad to hear of any venues who should be included but are not. Eventually we hope to make the Devon section of the Guide even more comprehensive and to cover many more of the craft venues for instance. In the long term I would like to find someone based in Devon who could organise a seperate edition for the county... Martin Val Baker
