Just a clutch of canvases by the Cornish artist Marjorie Frances ‘Midge’ Bruford (1902-58) have gone under the auctioneer’s gavel.
Born in Eastbourne, she began her art training at Stanhope Forbes’ School of Painting in Cornwall in the early 1920s, attending classes with Newlyn School painters such as Harold Harvey, and Ernest and Dod Procter. Apart from a spell in Paris, she spent the rest of her life painting portraits and landscapes in Cornwall.
