Harold KNIGHT (1874-1961)Portrait of the artist Robert Morson Hughes (1873-1953)Circa 1915/16 Oil on canvas 102 x 127.5 cmExhibited: ‘Artists by Themselves’ 2019 Penlee House GalleryProvenance: From the Estate of Robert Morson Hughes, thence by descent. A professional conservator's condition report is available upon request. This heroic portrait, so reminiscent of Harold Knight’s self-portrait in the National Portrait Gallery, ostensibly appears to be a study for his large, important work 'The Council,' (exhibited RA 1916) which features Robert Hughes on the right of the painting, also with pint in hand, walking stick and overcoat on left arm.In 'The Council' Hughes leans forward, intently facing his good friend the artist Samuel John Lamorna Birch. Birch is expounding an opinion, no doubt upon a war-related subject, whilst three other Lamorna locals around the table look on, including Old Jory, the landlord of the Lamorna Wink where the painting is set. Knight was an accomplished portraitist and completed numerous commissions, but his sensitive portraits of women differ greatly to many of his male studies, which although technically brilliant, could be dour and lacking in emotional warmth. Rapport, respect or a connection with his subject really mattered. In this portrait Hughes (Bertie to his friends) looks directly at us out of the painting, with a truly penetrating, almost intimidating gaze. He is life sized, and the full force of his personality is almost simmering upon the canvas. It says: “This is a man of character.” And who are we to argue? It is a painting that demands respect. It is one of Harold Knight's most powerful portraits, and is very much a finished work in its own right. Prior to the war, life for the Knights in Lamorna had been idyllic, aside from the tragedy of Florence Munnings’s suicide in July 1914, these had been halcyon days in the ‘Happy Valley’ of Cecily Sidgewick’s novels, and Harold had done some of his best work here.They moved to Lamorna in 1913 when Laura’s career was still developing and although Harold had established himself as a portrait painter, money was still tight for them. They needed to sell paintings to live, unlike their friends and neighbours, the independently wealthy Hughes’.Robert Morsen Hughes and his wife Eleanor were popular and significant members of the artists group living in pre-war Lamorna. Like the Procters, the Simpsons and several others, they had come to Newlyn to study under Stanhope Forbes, had fallen in love, not just with each other but also Cornwall. They married, stayed, and made their lives there.Along with the Napers, Sidgewicks, Leaders and the Heaths, the Hughes bought a parcel of land from Colonel Paynter of Boskenna and in 1911, designed and built their own home, 'Chyangweal' above the Lamorna Valley. Eleanor was an accomplished pianist and their home became popular for social gatherings and musical evenings. Along with S J Lamorna Birch and his family, this was a social group of great harmony and friendship. Although undated, this work was probably painted in 1915 and in the context of that time frame, it is a fascinating portrait. As illustrated by ‘The Council’, war dominated every conversation. Many Lamorna friends and colleagues joined up, and by 1915 there had been tragic deaths and woundings amongst them. This portrait and ‘The Council’ document a point in Harold’s life just before a great emotional shift, because in 1916 Harold declared himself a conscientious objector. It was the start of a period of immense mental and physical strain. Friendships fractured, even long standing friendships with the Sidgewicks and the Birchs were put to the test. Although too old to serve, in 1916 S J Lamorna Birch and Robert Hughes became members of a local volunteer force, guarding Newlyn harbour, and so struggled with Harold’s pacifist stance. When Knight got his call up papers in 1916, he was asked to explain himself before a tribunal. Unimpressed, they sent him to work as a farm labourer on the Cornish coast. He was alienated by friends and colleagues, writing: '’I have lost the friendship of several people whose friendship I valued, and my career as a portrait painter has been prejudiced by my attitude towards the war I have been compelled to take.’' It must have been an immensely painful episode for him. Knight was a quiet, sensitive man, often overshadowed by his brilliant, vivacious artist wife, Laura, but this stance showed immense courage. It took its toll on him both mentally and physically. 'Hoeing', Laura remarked, 'for days on end without seeing a living soul. He was again a sick man.' By 1917, Knight's health had deteriorated to such an extent that he was excused from further labour and returned to painting. After the war they left Cornwall for London, whilst this portrait, arguably one of Harold Knight’s finest, remained in the Lamorna home for which it was painted. We don’t know whether this work was a gift or a purchase, but other than a three month loan to Penlee House in 2019, this marvellous portrait has hung at Chyangweal for over 100 years and never been exhibited elsewhere.

Bernard Howell LEACH (1879-1979)Portrait of the artist Marion Grace Hocken, 1947Pencil on paper23.5x17cmAnotated to the reverse: "Drawing of me by BL drawn in train returning from Hornsea"Also some notes about the writer Edgar WallaceNote: In the late 1940s, Marion Hocken developed an interest in the Bahá'i Faith which in turn, led to a relationship with Bernard Leach who was also practicing the Bahá'i Faith. Together, they attended a Baha'i Summer School at Granville Court in Hornsea, East Riding in 1947 and according to the inscription, this drawing was made on the return journey.Sven Berlin recorded in his book 'The Coat of Many Colours', “One evening, I saw Bernard standing on a soap box denouncing immorality and preaching the Bahá’i religion, with an amanuensis, Marion Hocken, assisting him and carrying his papers, amidst the shouts and catcalls of the local fishermen.”We are grateful to the artist's grandson, Jonny Nance and to David Tovey for their assistance in cataloguing this work.

17th Century English SchoolJohn White of Trelogas (1631-1700)Oil on canvas, lined74x61cmViv Hendra wrote of this pictureJOHN WHITE - AN EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERYA FORGOTTEN TRURO MAN IS REDISCOVERED BY CHANCE JOHN WHITE OF TRELOGAS (1631- 1700)This unsigned portrait, purchased in Dorset, has proved far more significant than anyone could have imagined.TRELOGAS is an old listed building at Cowlands near the river Fal outside Truro. The White family had a house in Truro and owned very extensive properties in the area- it was a surprise to discover that they even owned the land on which the Lander Gallery is built.John White (1614- 1685) left a large fortune and among his various charitable gifts was a detailed bequest to the poor of Truro. This also involved the preaching of a sermon in Truro on September 2nd annually - forever. The preacher was to be rewarded with twenty shillings and the clerk with three shillings and sixpence. This charity continued to operate for centuries but in recent years had been all but forgotten. As a result of the discovery of the portrait, the Dean of Truro once more preached the requisite sermon in the old Parish Church part of Truro Cathedral and was paid twenty shillings on 2nd September 2016. The town clerk received his three shillings and sixpence. The charity has also been revived with donations from the public and will once more be named as it assists young apprentices as required by John White. While more is discovered about the significance of the White famiy in Truro, it also becomes less certian that this portrait actually does depict the John White of the charity. Research continues.
