Cornish artists

26th July 2011

Just a quick note about a great BBC4 show on last night (Monday 25th July) that was originally broadcast in December 2010.

A sweeping narrative telling the story of St Ives artists such as Alfred Wallis, Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and wonderful Patrick Heron – great fun and fascinating. Worth a sleepy 90 minutes (and particularly Patrick Heron’s home, Eagles Nest above Zennor) – allowing you to impress friends and family round the art galleries of Padstow and St Ives.

Dedicated to those who visit Beyond The Sea in Middle Street each visit to Padstow hoping to find their perfect painting at a price they can afford – but alas, always disappointed.

Catch it for the next 5 days on Iplayer
