Description: Every chapter of Sven Berlin’s colourful life has been captured in his art and writing. The discipline of any art movement was not for him.‘I am Sven Berlin!’ he would say with bravado. Born in Sydenham 1911, by 1938 Berlin had moved to Cornwall to pursue his artistic career. His first solo exhibition, was held in 1939 in Camborne, while studying with Arthur Creed Hambly. In St. Ives he was drawn to the work of Alfred Wallis.Following the breakup of his marriage to Helga, he met his second wife, Juanita, also an artist and writer, while he lived and worked in histiny studio overlooking Porthgwidden Beach, The Tower. He was a founder member of the Crypt Group and instrumental in the eventual breakaway which became the Penwith Society. This created a momentous rift which would signal the most important event in the story of 20th century British art.
