This is an original signed work of art by artist Tom McGuiness titled “Miners Crossing the Line”
Tom McGuiness (1926-2006) was a British coal miner and artist and member of the Spennymoor Settlement which became known as the “Pitmans Academy” Here he painted with contemporaries including Norman Cornish, Herbert Dees and Robert Heslop. He was a Bevin Boy during World War II working in the coal mines, he subsequently studied at the Darlington school of art.
The Spennymoor Settlement was established in 1930 with funds from the Pilgrim Trust with a resident warden W.G. (Bill) Farrell, accompanied by his wife, Ceriwed (Betty). It’s objectives were “ to encourage tolerant neighbourliness and voluntary social service and give its members opportunities for increasing their knowledge, widening their interests and cultivating their creative powers in a friendly atmosphere”. It quickly became known as the “Pitmans Academy” It was a time of depression, unemployment was rife, Spennymoor was an impoverished community and the future looked grim. The Settlement provided the will and means to fight back. They showed people new horizons and set them on the path towards them.
The picture measures 34 cms by 28 cms overall including the frame.
