Cornish Masters celebrates the art movements, schools and colonies of painters that evolved and flourished in Cornwall in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From Walter Langley and Edwin Harris's pioneering arrival in the fishing village of Newlyn in the early 1880s, to the heyday of the St Ives School when Mark Rothko visited Peter Lanyon and Paul Feiler in 1959, and St Ives was the distinctly British counterpart of the modern art scene in New York.
