EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the artistic partnership and shared passion of Dame Laura Knight (1877-1970) and her husband Harold Knight (1874-1961) in 1939. Dame Laura Knight, the first female artist to be elected as a full member of the prestigious Royal Academy in 1936, is seen here with her beloved husband and fellow artist, Harold. The 1930s, also known as the 30s or the Thirties, was an era of significant artistic growth and recognition for both artists. Laura Knight, renowned for her evocative and dynamic portraits and genre scenes, is depicted in the photograph with an introspective expression, her eyes focused on an unseen horizon. Her husband, Harold Knight, a respected landscape painter, is seen looking at her with a tender gaze, his hand resting gently on her shoulder. The image captures the intimacy and mutual respect between the two artists, who were not only life partners but also creative collaborators. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the profound impact that their artistic partnership had on each other's work and on the art world at large. The image, taken in 1939, is a testament to their enduring love and commitment to their craft, and serves as an inspiration to artists and art lovers alike.
