For over a hundred years successive generations of painters and sculptors have made Cornwall their inspiration and their place of work. This book brings the story covered in the author's previous two works The Shining Sands and Painting the Warmth of the Sun up to date and looks at the twenty-five years or so following the deaths of Barbara Hepworth, Bryan Wynter and Roger Hilton.
