1928-1933 George Turland Goosey Cornish Coast Oil on Masonite Seascape

$600.00
An oil painting on masonite executed by George Turland Goosey (1877–1947), a British-American artist recognized for his impressionistic coastal landscapes. Likely painted during Goosey’s productive period in the late 1920s to early 1930s, this piece depicts the Cornish coast with characteristic waves breaking against rugged granite rocks under a moody Atlantic sky. The painting captures a turbulent seascape with waves crashing on coastal granite rocks, a hallmark subject of Goosey’s Cornwall period. The dynamic brushwork emphasizes movement and atmospheric conditions, with a compressed, intimate perspective consistent with plein air studies. George Turland Goosey was born in Northampton, England, in 1877 and later established a successful career as an architect in the United States. In 1921, he transitioned his focus to painting and settled in the St. Ives artist colony in Cornwall, England, where he developed an impressionistic style noted for its vibrant marine subjects. Goosey exhibited frequently with the St. Ives Society of Artists and produced numerous seascapes, harbor views, and coastal studies. Following World War II, he relocated to Laguna Beach, California, where he continued to paint until his death in 1947. Goosey’s works are held in various private collections and have been exhibited in regional galleries. While not widely represented in major museums, his paintings remain sought after for their dynamic brushwork and atmospheric depictions of coastal environments. This painting is executed in oil on a masonite panel measuring 5 3/4" x 7 1/8" (14.6cm x 18.1cm), with a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm). It is signed in red paint at the lower right corner with “Geo. Turland.” The work features heavy impasto created with a palette knife, particularly evident in the depiction of the waves and rocks. The color palette includes muted mauve and lavender tones in the sky, transitioning into deep blues and greens in the surf, contrasted by rust-red and brown hues in the granite rocks. The panel shows age-appropriate edge wear but is structurally stable, with minor flaking noted. The back is unmarked except for a modern inventory sticker. The intimate composition and small size are consistent with plein air studies typical of Goosey’s late 1920s to early 1930s Cornwall period.
