EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1927, we find the esteemed artists Ernest and Dod Procter at their picturesque residence in Newlyn, Cornwall. This artistic power couple was at the forefront of the vibrant artistic colony that thrived in this quaint fishing village by the sea. Ernest Procter, a prominent figure in the British art scene, is depicted here in a thoughtful pose, deep in contemplation, perhaps reflecting on his latest creative endeavor. His wife, Dod Procter, radiates warmth and charm as she gazes off into the distance, her painting easel and palette nearby, a testament to her dedication to her craft. The year 1927 proved to be a momentous one for the Procters. Dod Procter's painting, "Morning," was declared the picture of the year by the prestigious Royal Academy, an accolade that solidified her place among the foremost artists of her time. The painting, a stunning representation of the Cornish landscape bathed in the soft light of dawn, was so highly regarded that it was purchased for the nation, becoming a cherished addition to the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery. This photograph captures the essence of the Procters' creative partnership and their deep connection to the beautiful and inspiring surroundings of Newlyn. It serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when art and nature converged to fuel the imaginations of some of the most talented artists of the 20th century.
