Gertrude Harvey
"Summer Flowers"

around 1940

About the Item

This beautiful flower study by Gertrude Harvey captures all the freshness of the new schools of painting emerging in Cornwall at the start of the 20th century. Gertrude was a native born Cornish woman, married to the well known painter Harold Harvey. The Harveys were the centre of the art world in Newlyn, she and Harold married in about 1911. Gertrude used mostly oil on canvas, board, card or paper, but also tempera, gouache and sketches (sold at NAG), and also enjoyed needlework and clothing design. In the 1920s and 30s she exhibited her work at various galleries in London, including the RA and the Leicester Galleries. Often she showed work together with her husband in mixed and group shows.

  • White Peonies from Covent Garden
    By Katharine Rowe
    Located in London, GB
    This was the flower artist Katherine Rowe had in her wedding bouquet and so they have always had a special place in my heart. Despite being 'white' there is hardly any actual pure white in the painting but multiple blues and yellows and greens. Katharine Rowe is an English painter she graduated in Fine Art and History of Art at the University of Edinburgh in 1999 and spent a year studying at Université de la Sorbonne, Paris. Having spent a decade working in advertising Katharine felt the increasing need to be out of the office and with her paintbrush. The past 9 years have been dedicated to just that. Katharine is strongly motivated by colour and she often spends up to an hour mixing and preparing paints before turning to the canvas.
