LISTED BRITISH Ernest William Haslehust 1866-1949 VERY FINE ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR
You are offering on a very fine and well done large early 20th century original watercolor of city escape by listed British artist: Ernest William Haslehust (1866-1949) in good condition. It is in original wooden frame under glass. The piece is signed in the lower left by the artist. It is very well executed with very fine brush works and use of beautiful colors and details. Ernest William Haslehust was the eldest son of William Henry Haslehust, of Lee, Kent, and was born at Walthamstow, Essex, in 1866. He was educated at Felsted and studied art at the Slade School under Legros. A man of wide interests, his recreations included gardening, carpentering, and the making of scientific instruments, and he belonged to a bewildering number of societies, both artistic and scientific. Besides taking part in the exhibitions of the societies of which he was a member, Haslehust was a regular exhibitor of water-colours at the Royal Academy. In 1932 a picture of his was given a place of honour in the water-colour section and was afterwards purchased by the Newport Corporation, Monmouthshire, for their public gallery. He is also represented in the permanent collections of Oldham, Bootle, Huddersfield, Lincoln, Sheffield, Swansea, Bristol, Port Elizabeth, Colombo, Vancouver City, and Auckland. He designed landscape posters for the LNER, and in 1932 a one-man show of his water-colours was held at the Greatorex Gallery. He also contributed 60 illustrations in colour to a book on \"The Silvery Thames\", and water-colours by him have been reproduced in theIllustrated London News, theStudio, theTatler, and many other magazines. Haslehust was a capable landscape artist, chiefly in water-colour, with a good eye for a subject. Like most professed lovers of nature he was inclined to prettify his subjects, particularly in colour, but the clearness and directness of his method won professional respect and made him an excellent guide to the fumbling amateur. Haslehust was very prolific. He was probably most familiar to the general public as an illustrator of books in colour, having contributed pictures to no fewer than 36 volumes in Messrs. Black\'s \"Beautiful Britain\" series. Haslehust was not a great artist, but his work gave pleasure to a great many people. He knew his limited job thoroughly, and his scientific habit of mind enabled him to explain it clearly to others.
- Obituary,The Times, Friday, Jul 08, 1949A number of the Blackie \"Beatiful England\" series ilustrated by Haslehust are onProject Gutenberg(the HTML versions include images) and theInternet Archive. Just dipping, I very much like his paintings ofBranksome Chine,Poole Harbour,Chalk(the house where Dickens spent his honeymoon),Rochester from Strood, andMol\'s Coffee House, Exeter. There are many more online - do aGoogle image search- such as this moodyFolkestone - Above the Fishing Harbourin the collection of Auckland Art Gallery.The Picture Parlour, which sells prints on , has a large collection ofHaslehust topographic images: theIsle of Wightones are interesting, such asBlackgang Chinewhile it still existed as a topographic feature, andNewport from the Medina, a surprisingly unprettified view showing it warts-and-all as an industrialised river port.

BTW, a number of sources mistakenly correct Haslehust\'s surname to \"Haslehurst\". It ain\'t: both the signatures on his paintings and the credits in multiple books he illustrated are \"Haslehust\".
