This talk discusses the transition of St Ives from an un-picturesque failing industrial town to a prime tourist destination, greatly facilitated by the arrival of artists and the railway.
David Tovey is an independent art historian specialising in Cornish art. He is the author of several scholarly works about artists - especially those working in Cornwall. In this talk, he draws on examples from his book 'St Ives (1860 - 1930) the artists and the community'.
This event has been organised by the South West regional committee and the University of Exeter's Penryn Campus Geography Group.
