David Boyd Haycock's new, extensively illustrated biography of Kemp-Welch brings this remarkable artist and her work back into sharp focus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in 1869, Kemp-Welch first came to the art establishment's attention in 1897 when her immense painting, \u003ci\u003eColt Hunting in the New Forest\u003c\/i\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 \u003ci\u003eBlack Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, and was commissioned to paint images for the Government during the First World War. Later, the mural \u003ci\u003eWomen's Work in the Great War\u003c\/i\u003e, was placed in the Royal Exchange in London, where it remains to this day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Boyd Haycock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788842243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788842242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acc Art Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.65h x 10.31w x 0.87d","brand":"David Boyd Haycock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419565539583,"sku":"9781788842242","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0fceb43-ae96-4b4f-9fa6-776835d7f8b3.jpg?v=1761512389","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lucy-kemp-welch-1869-1958-david-boyd-haycock-9781788842242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
