Note du spécialiste
Norman Garstin was the intellectual mentor of the Newlyn School. He once said of the plein air principles of the Newlyn School 'Your work cannot really be good unless you have caught a cold doing it.'
He was born in County Clare, Ireland and raised by his grandparents. He began his career as an engineer and progressed to architecture before moving to Cape Town to become a diamond prospector. On his return to Ireland he studied art for two years under Charles Verlat in Antwerp and then for three years in Paris under Carolus Duran before travelling widely in Italy, Morocco, America, South Africa, Tangiers and Spain before finally settling in the West Country.
