Lucy Harwood: Bold Impressions
Exhibition Lucy Harwood: Bold Impressions at First Site Gallery Colchester. England
2 December 2023 – 14 April 2024
‘Renowned arts journalist and biographer of Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett Haines, Hugh St Clair, says: “Lucy Harwood was a key part of The East Anglian School and also a dedicated and serious artist who found her own inimitable colourful style and striking technique. The show aims to bring to life her independent spirit and courage through her diaries that will be quoted from. There will also be a display of some of her favourite things that formed the inspiration for her Still Life paintings. Visitors will also be able to interpret some of the local landscapes she depicted that can be shown alongside her originals.”
Harwood described herself as a dedicated Post-Impressionist with a clear affinity for artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin.
Comments
‘A wonderful, inspiring and creative exhibition on Lucy Harwood – with her own persistent talent shining through in her paintings, and such rich evocation of the encouragement she drew from friends and fellow artists at Benton End.’ Thomas Marks, Former Editor of Apollo magazine and Associate Fellow of the Warburg Institute.
Cracking good show. Well done. I thought the selection and exposition was very satisfying. You’ve put her fully on the map.’ Philip Mould OBE
‘Curator Hugh St Clair’s stroke of genius was painting the walls of the exhibition to contemporise the presentation of Harwood’s paintings.’ Joanne Ooi, founder of EA Festival
