Harold Harvey (1874-1941)
Harold Harvey was born in Penzance and studied in Penzance with the Irish born painter Norman Garstin (1855-1926) and in the 1890’s studied, as did so many of his compatriots, in Paris at the Academy Julian under Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul Laurens. Harvey returned to Penzance from France and continued to paint in Newlyn, he married Gertrude, also a painter, and moved to Maen Cottage in Newlyn in 1911. His early work taken from the life of the fishing community reflects the social realism of the Newlyn School.
