| 释义 |
Knight was born in Nottingham, England, the son of William Knight, architect, and studied at Nottingham School of Art under Wilson Foster. Nottingham had a reputation as among the best of the English provincial art schools and Knight won a series of prizes there, most notably for a series of oil studies of nudes. At the time he was considered to be the best student in the college.[2] At the School of Art he met fellow artist Laura Johnson, whom he married in 1903. As Laura Knight, she became well known for her paintings of scenes from the ballet, circus and similar events.[1] After spending time in Paris, studying art under Jean-Paul Laurens and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant, then at Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast, Harold Knight moved in 1907, with Laura, to Newlyn, a fishing port in Cornwall, where they became part of the Newlyn School.[1] In the First World War Knight's principles led him to be a conscientious objector, which earned him the rebuke of many of his colleagues and former friends, and put a strain on his physical and mental health, as he was required to work as a farm labourer. When the War ended, he and Laura moved to London, although they frequently returned to Cornwall to paint.[1] Knight was elected a full member of the Royal Academy in 1937, and died in 1961 in Colwall, Herefordshire.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 Penlee Gallery biography 2. ^{{cite book|author=Martin Postle & William Vaughan|publisher=Merrell Holberton Publishers|year=1999|title=The Artist's Model From Etty to Spencer|ISBN=1858940842}} 3. ^{{cite web |author=Royal Academy|url=http://www.racollection.org.uk/ixbin/indexplus?_IXACTION_=file&_IXFILE_=templates/full/person.html&_IXTRAIL_=Academicians&person=5754 |title=Harold Knight, R.A|year=|accessdate=10 September 2016|work=Royal Academy}} External links
