| 1358 | WALTER LANGLEY (1852-1922) THE MORNING NEWS Signed and dated 1884, watercolour 17 x 25.5cm. Provenance: Purchased by the owner's father in Birmingham in the early 1970's for about a3300. £7000-10000 | Good condition; a few small spot of foxing Henry Scott Tuke described his friend as "I should think the strongest watercolour man in England" yet, ironically, it was Langley's excellence in the medium that denied him the wider renown that oil painters such as Stanhope Forbes enjoyed in Cornwall and beyond. Langley moved from his native Birmingham in 1882, having benefitted financially from the generous patronage of J. W. Thrupp and the Alldays family that had enabled him to sell over 100 pictures in 1881, and settled at Pembroke Lodge in Paul near Newlyn with his wife, Clara. Langley's hard upbringing in the Midlands gave him an acute awareness of the plight of the honest working folk in Newlyn and his skills (and successes) attracted Stanhope Forbes, Frank Bramley, Tuke and Albert Chevallier Taylor to the village in 1884. Langley had to raise his game, not merely to outwit the jealous Forbes, but to assert his leadership amongst the group. This watercolour, painted in that very year, shows all the skills for which Langley is now revered. There is a detached but sympathetic admiration for the working man, a brilliance of technique and a quintessence of subject matter that would determine the course of The Newlyn School for an entire generation. The sometimes grim and tragic subject matter of Langley's work was cheerfully offset by his "high spirits and vivacity" (Forbes) and his accomplishment as a banjo player in Newlyn. | Nil |
