| Norman Cornish | Born in 1919 in Oxford Street, Spennymoor, Norman Cornish began working in the mines on Boxing Day in 1933, and not long after was accepted as a member of the Spennymoor Settlement, at the age of just 15. It was here that he met the author Sid Chaplin and later fellow mining artist Tom McGuinness. The resident warden of the Settlement, Bill Farrell, encouraged Cornish to "paint the life he knew".The artists of the Settlement exhibited regularly at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle and directly after the war Cornish held his first solo exhibition at the People's Theatre in Newcastle. The sale of five of his works at the exhibition resulted in him being asked to curate an exhibition on Oxford Street in London "Art by the Miner". The exhibition was organised to create awareness of the newly nationalised coal mines and resulted in Cornish being interviewed on television; it transpired that he was a natural speaker and he continued to converse with the media throughout his career.Cornish exhibited throughout the North East, and nationally, and in 1959 he first exhibited at the acclaimed Stone Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne. The gallery prided itself on representing artists with local connections such as Sheila Fell and L.S Lowry, in addition to many of the internationally acclaimed historical and old master artists. Cornish established a long standing relationship with the gallery which lasted for over twenty years.In 1962 he was recognised as the painter of the mining communities and was commissioned to paint a 30 foot mural depicting a mining gala as a celebration of life in County Durham for the new County Hall in Durham.After thirty-three years in the mines and due to a back complaint Cornish left the pits in 1966; encouraged by his wife Sarah he took up painting full time. He obtained a lectureship at Sunderland University one day a week and in 1974 he was awarded with an Honorary Master of Arts Degree from Newcastle University. In 1989 and 1992 he held major exhibitions of his works at the University of Northumbria Gallery and in 1995 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Civil Law from the University of Northumbria to whom he dedicated a large number of his works in 1997.Cornish's paintings offer an insight into everyday life in Spennymoor and the mines, capturing scenes of places and an industry that no longer remain. The characters he painted are real people he knew and who belonged to the mining heritage. There was a time when Sid Chaplin expressed concerns over Norman's unvarying subject matter stating "I've often been irritated by his seeming lack of enterprise, his lack of interest in anything but Spennymoor". However this unerring dedication to his subject reveals and provides an intimate rendition of the industrial and social history of the North East.
