When dawn rose over Tynemouth, Northumberland, on March 22, 1885, it marked the arrival of a future titan of British art - Ernest Procter. Amid the austerity of a Quaker household, Procter was influenced by both science and art; his father, a renowned scientist and professor, served as the inspiration for one of his later portraits. After his schooling at the Quaker Bootham School in York, Procter pursued his passion for art, entering Forbes' School of Painting in Newlyn, Cornwall, in 1907. Here he fell in love with picturesque Cornwall and a fellow student, Doris "Dod" Shaw, who would later become his wife and artistic companion. Amidst the vibrant art scene of the early 20th century, Procter continued his artistic training in Paris, where he immersed himself in the atmosphere of the Atelier Colarossi, studying both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. These vibrant years in the French capital not only influenced Procter's artistic style, but also introduced him to some of the greatest masters in the history of art, including Pierre Auguste Renoir and Paul Cézanne. Despite the turmoil of World War I, which forced Procter to invoke his reasons of conscience and serve with the Friends' Ambulance Unit, he could not escape his artistic calling and created impressive works such as "Étaples, The Convoy Yard" and "Nissen Huts, St. Omer."
After the war, Procter returned to Newlyn with Dod, where they became integrated into the local artist community and Procter became part of the Newlyn Society of Artists. Together with Harold Harvey, he founded the Harvey-Procter School, where they taught future generations of artists to paint still lifes, figures, and landscapes in watercolor and oil. Procter's artistic output was not limited to traditional painting, however. He developed the so-called diaphenicons, painted and glazed decorations with their own light source, which expanded the boundaries of visual art and were exhibited at the Leicester Galleries. Despite his many achievements and valuable contribution to the British art world, Procter's life ended tragically and abruptly when he died of a cerebral hemorrhage on October 21, 1935. But his legacy lives on, not only in the memories of those who knew and loved his art, but also in the detailed art prints of his works that we reproduce with the greatest care. In this way, we celebrate Ernest Procter - not only as an extraordinary artist, but also as a passionate educator and an inspirational figure who made a significant mark on the British artistic landscape.
