From Dumbarton, Scotland, George Harcourt was born on 11 October 1868 and died on 30 September 1947.
He studied at the Herkomer School of Art[1] in Bushey from 1889–92 and later went on to become the head of school.[2] He rose to become the President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1945 following a spell as vice-president (1934–45) and was also the Director of the Royal Academy. He first became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1919 (ARA) and was then elected as an Academician (RA) in 1926. In 1944 he was elected as a senior Academician (Senior RA) and became Director of Schools in 1927.[3]
After studying art in Dumbarton, Harcourt initially worked as an interior decorator of salons and luxury cabins at the local shipyard Denny Brothers Shipbuilding. In 1888 he went to Bushey, north London, and enrolled in the Herkomer School of Art. The school, founded by the German-born painter Hubert von Herkomer (1849-1914) in 1883, enjoyed a good reputation in England at the time and was known for its unconventional educational practice. As one of the best students, Harcourt later became a lecturer at the art school. Later, he taught at the London Slade School of Fine Art, where his daughter Anne studied.
Over the years, Harcourt's style of painting changed from a Pre-Raphaelite influenced naturalism (here mainly genre paintings, more rarely landscapes) to an almost photorealistic portraiture. This perfection not only gave him a reputation among colleagues, but also secured him a good income as a portraitist of the British upper class.
He submitted to the Royal Academy of Arts his diploma thesis (A Portrait of Miss Anne Harcourt),[4] this proved he had skills that went beyond the naive kitsch of his earlier years.
In 1893 George Moore reviewed the artworks at the Royal Academy commenting in The New Review, London, on a portrait exhibited there by George Harcourt - At the Window.[5]
1914: George Nathaniel Curzon (started by Herkomer, completed by Harcourt, owned by Oxford University)
1920: Portrait of a young girl
1921: Portrait of Miss Anne Harcourt (his daughter later became his pupil) [7]
1924: Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice (the admiral was director of the British secret service of the Royal Navy NID)
1931: The Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Family (owned by the Krupp Foundation in the Villa Hügel)
Awards
Harcourt received in 1912 a gold medal at the International Exhibition in Amsterdam. In 1921 he submitted to the jury of the Royal Academy of Art, a portrait of his daughter Anne. He was admitted in 1926 as a full member of the Academy (RA). Up to this point he was an Associate Royal Academician (ARA), which he had held since 1919. He also briefly became Deputy Director of the Royal Academy Schools. In 1923 he got another gold medal in the exhibition at the Salon de Paris.
