| book description |

Over 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 countryâ€™s best-known women artists. David Boyd Haycockâ€™s new, extensively illustrated biography of Kemp-Welch brings this remarkable artist and her work back into sharp focus.Â Â Born in 1869, Kemp-Welch first came to the art establishmentâ€™s attention in 1897 when her immense painting, Colt Hunting in the New Forest, caused a sensation at the Royal Academyâ€™s Summer Exhibition; the work was bought for the Nation by the Chantry Bequest in the year of exhibition. In 1915, she illustrated Anna Sewellâ€™s Black Beauty, and was commissioned to paint images for the Government during the First World War. Later, the mural Womenâ€™s Work in the Great War, was placed in the Royal Exchange in London, where it remains to this day. Respected art writer and curator Boyd-Haycock shines new light on Kemp-Welchâ€™s life, writing from a 21st-century perspective and reflecting on her as a female painter in a male-dominated environment. Alongside Kemp-Welchâ€™s paintings, the book will feature exclusive period photographs of the artist herself, shown at work and in her studio.
