A fascinating insight into the life and art of Spennymoor’s Pitman Painter Norman Cornish was the subject of yesterday evenings presentation.
Presented by Norman’s son John and his wife Dorothy it was a walk through life in mining communities as seen through his work with pen, pastels and paint. Indeed it invoked memories of a lifestyle now gone.
There was also an opportunity to purchase prints of Norman Cornish’s work and publication detailing his life and art work.
