George Newnes was a man of many interests and talents. He had an eye for art, as evidenced by his impressive collection of paintings from various artists. One such piece is "A Studio in Montparnasse" by CRW Nevinson, which captures the vibrant atmosphere of the artistic community in 1920s Paris. Newnes also appreciated works that depicted everyday life, like Walter Richard Sickert's "Ennui. " This painting from 1914 portrays a sense of boredom and restlessness that many can relate to even today. But Newnes didn't limit himself to modern art; he also admired older pieces such as Giovanni Segantini's "The Punishment of Luxury" from 1891. This striking work explores themes of excess and indulgence, reminding viewers of the consequences that come with a lavish lifestyle. Nature was another subject close to Newnes' heart, evident in Paul Nash's "Savernake Forest. " The artist beautifully captured the serene beauty and tranquility found within this woodland setting. Newnes had a fondness for coastal scenes too, as seen in his acquisitions like "Dartmouth - Dartmouth and Kingswear Castles" and "Pwllheli - A Sheltered Corner. " These paintings transport us to idyllic seaside locations, inviting us to imagine ourselves strolling along sandy shores or exploring ancient castle ruins. One painting that particularly caught Newnes' attention was William Nicholson's "The Girl with the Tattered Glove. " Created in 1909 but acquired by him later on, this portrait exudes both vulnerability and strength through its depiction of a young woman wearing worn-out gloves. Newnes also appreciated landscapes beyond Britain's shores. His collection included works like Sir John Lavery's "Evening At Tangier, " which transports viewers to exotic Moroccan streets bathed in warm hues. In addition to these diverse artworks, George Clausen's painting titled "Ploughing" caught Newnes' eye.
