David Boyd Haycock's new, extensively illustrated biography of Kemp-Welch brings this remarkable artist and her work back into sharp focus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in 1869, Kemp-Welch first came to the art establishment's attention in 1897 when her immense painting, \u003ci\u003eColt Hunting in the New Forest\u003c\/i\u003e, caused a sensation at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition; the work was bought for the Nation by the Chantry Bequest in the year of exhibition. In 1915, she illustrated Anna Sewell's \u003ci\u003eBlack Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, and was commissioned to paint images for the Government during the First World War. Later, the mural \u003ci\u003eWomen's Work in the Great War\u003c\/i\u003e, was placed in the Royal Exchange in London, where it remains to this day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRespected art writer and curator Boyd-Haycock shines new light on Kemp-Welch's life, writing from a 21st-century perspective and reflecting on her as a female painter in a male-dominated environment. Alongside Kemp-Welch's paintings, the book will feature exclusive period photographs of the artist herself, shown at work and in her studio.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr David Boyd Haycock\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance author and curator, specialising in 20th-century British art.
