Stanhope Forbes and the Newlyn School   
Caroline Fox (David & Charles, 1993)


A very readable biography of Forbes and his wife Elizabeth. Other Newlyn artists are dealt with in adeqaute detail as a background for Forbes, but in their own right the shorter 'bio-sketches' are tantalizing, especially as there is very little bibliography. The book is excellently illustrated as regards paintings, but there is only one photograph -- a group picture. Contemporary views, or even a map, of Newlyn would have been informative.       Locate a copy of this book at Alibris
