Harold Harvey - Out to Sea


Harold Harvey (Penzance, Cornwall, May 20, 1874 - May 19, 1941) was a British artist. He exhibited at the Newlyn Gallery and major provincial galleries, and had his first London show in 1913. Harvey’s last decade displayed all the remarkable abilities he had developed, and the wide range of his subject matter which included interiors, portraits, landscapes, religious themes, and the industrial landscape of Cornwall. In 1938 he featured in an article in Picture Post about the artistic colony at Newlyn. He continued painting up to his death.
