John
Barrie Haste 1931 -2011
British
landscape painter, in oils and watercolours.
John Barrie
Haste was a West-Riding of Yorkshire painter, who’s landscapes often featured
locations in the county and further afield in several European countries, where
he favoured Venice.
He was
influenced by painters of the Norwich School, particularly Cotman and Turner,
the two artists he admired most. Haste held many solo exhibitions across the
country, was included in the touring "Britain in watercolour"
exhibition and exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the
Institute of Painters in Watercolour.
His work is
held in collections around the world including Newburgh Priory, Lord and Lady
Deramore, Sir Donald Baron, Lady Bell, Sir Martin Beckett, Rowntree Mackintosh
and the Yorkshire Bank.
Appletreewick (traditionally pronounced Ap-trik)
is a village and civil parish in the district and county of North Yorkshire,
England, 7 miles north-east of Skipton. Appletreewick is in Wharfedale in the
Yorkshire Dales, a popular place for visitors, especially in the summer months,
on the banks of the River Wharfe.
The village
is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and its name is derived from the Old
English of æppel-trēow wīc, which means the Apple-tree specialised. The old
dialectal pronunciation of the village name is a shortened 'Ap-trick', which is
sometimes still heard being used by the locals. The village prospered from the
year 1300 when Bolton Priory acquired its manor with its extensive sheep ranges
and valuable lead mines. Charters for markets and a fair were granted, and the
latter remained important until the impact of the railways in the mid-19th
century.
