{"product_id":"lucy-kempwelch-18691958-isbn-9781788842242","title":"Lucy Kemp-Welch 1869-1958","description":"Over the course of a long and very successful career spanning the first half of the 20th century, Lucy Kemp-Welch established herself as one of the leading equestrian painters at work in the UK and one of the country’s best-known women artists. David Boyd Haycock’s new, extensively illustrated biography of Kemp-Welch brings this remarkable artist and her work back into sharp focus. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBorn in 1869, Kemp-Welch first came to the art establishment’s attention in 1897 when her immense painting, \u003ci\u003eColt Hunting in the New Forest\u003c\/i\u003e, caused a sensation at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition; the work was bought for the Nation by the Chantry Bequest in the year of exhibition. In 1915, she illustrated Anna Sewell’s \u003ci\u003eBlack Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, and was commissioned to paint images for the Government during the First World War. Later, the mural \u003ci\u003eWomen’s Work in the Great War\u003c\/i\u003e, was placed in the Royal Exchange in London, where it remains to this day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRespected art writer and curator Boyd-Haycock shines new light on Kemp-Welch’s life, writing from a 21st-century perspective and reflecting on her as a female painter in a male-dominated environment. Alongside Kemp-Welch’s paintings, the book will feature exclusive period photographs of the artist herself, shown at work and in her studio.","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48683369988325,"sku":"NP9781788842242","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_fc7d5708-2152-466d-9b7d-c058f74c3427.jpg?v=1775169607","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/lucy-kempwelch-18691958-isbn-9781788842242","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
