Algernon Talmage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Algernon Talmage (1871-1939) was a minor British Impressionist painter.[1] He is best known for tutoring Emily Carr during her studies at St Ives in England. His criticism was a significant early influence on her work, encouraging her earliest forays into the forest paintings that would eventually become her trademark. Carr's vivid palette grew from his critical reminder that "there is sunlight in the shadows."[2]
