{"product_id":"lucy-kemp-welch-1869-1958","title":"Lucy Kemp-Welch 1869-1958","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver 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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1869, Kemp-Welch first came to the art establishment’s attention in 1897 when her immense painting, \u003cem\u003eColt Hunting in the New Forest\u003c\/em\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 \u003cem\u003eBlack Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e, and was commissioned to paint images for the Government during the First World War. Later, the mural \u003cem\u003eWomen’s Work in the Great War\u003c\/em\u003e, was placed in the Royal Exchange in London, where it remains to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227358515544,"sku":"9781788842242","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788842242_275d8b6e-7fa2-4235-9546-b0a33602b11c.jpg?v=1777106733","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/lucy-kemp-welch-1869-1958","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
