Exhibitions I can remember. It took us all rather by surprise, Nottingham Alfred Daniels Town Square, Assisi (oil) for it had not been long premeditated and, I am inclined to believe, if Norwich Anthony Gross Undulating Valleys (oil) it hadn't been for our organising secretary's personal enthusiasm for Oldham A J Messenger Cathedral (oil) the whole idea, we might have allowed the opportunity to slide by Ashmolean Oxford John Bratby Self-portrait (drawing) untaken. I refer to our Recent Acquisitions Exhibition at the Arts Plymouth John Piper Nailsworth Mill (water colour) Council Gallery. This was the first time we had given the public a Preston Thelma Hulbert Window on the Terrace (oil) chance to see what we were about to distribute to our beneficiaries, Rochdale Algernon Newton Port (oil) public galleries all over the country and in the Dominions. Whether Tristram Hillier Harvesters (drawing) it was the rooms themselves, or the admirable arrangement and Rotherham Anne Madden Meadow 1958 (oil) hanging of the pictures, or just the undoubted fact that they were a Rugby William Brooker Dunes, Littlehampton (oil) most impressive and lively collection, I don't know; but, whatever Salford Morley Bury Landscape X (oil) the reason, it was a show which excited people and made many a Scarborough Anthony Gross Landscape (oil) member of the C.A.S. feel proud of his part as a subscriber in havinj Sheffield Jack Smith PinkShirt(oil) made the whole affair possible. It started with a swing with an Southampton Martin Froy Reclining Figure (oil) evening preview party, and some 4,000 people came and enjoyed it while it was at St. James's Square. In July it went to the Cheltenham Southend Tristram Hillier Cutler's Green (oil) Art Gallery in conjunction with the Cheltenham Music Festival.

During 1959 it was shown at Rotherham, Worksop Derek Hill Picking Olives (drawing) Bury, Batley, Manchester, Halifax, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, York J P Riopelle La Vallee 1957 (oil) Hull, Nottingham, Leicester and South London. In fact it will not be Australia dismantled till later this month. Adelaide Francis Bacon Study for Figure No.4 (oil) Brisbane Elizabeth Frink Wild Boar (bronze) Our allocations to Public Galleries were of course made after the Melbourne Sergio de Castro Fruits, Bol et Bouteilles (gouache) acquisitions were publicly shown. We had a few further pictures and Perth F E McWilliam The Seasons (iron cement) some sculpture held over from previous occasions and so Sydney Peter Kinley Reclining Figure (oil) altogether were able to allocate no less than 108 works to 96 galleries New Zealand in Great Britain and the Commonwealth. It is not a very easy job to Auckland Carel Appel Deux Tetes (gouache) make such an allocation and it may be of interest to you to hear how Nelson M Kestelman Mending Mullet Nets (oil) we normally set about it.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War M
    Bold Impressions: A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War Memorial Alexandra Fae Walton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, June 2017. © Copyright by Alexandra Fae Walton, 2017 DECLARATION PAGE I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgement, the work presented is entirely my own. Acknowledgements I was inspired to write about the two print collections while working in the Art Section at the Australian War Memorial. The many striking and varied prints in that collection made me wonder about their place in that museum – it being such a special yet conservative institution in the minds of many Australians. The prints themselves always sustained my interest in the topic, but I was also fortunate to have guidance and assistance from a number of people during my research, and to make new friends. Firstly, I would like to say thank you to my supervisors: Dr Peter Londey who gave such helpful advice on all my chapters, and who saw me through the final year of the PhD; Dr Kylie Message who guided and supported me for the bulk of the project; Dr Caroline Turner who gave excellent feedback on chapters and my final oral presentation; and also Dr Sarah Scott and Roger Butler who gave good advice from a prints perspective. Thank you to Professor Joan Beaumont, Professor Helen Ennis and Professor Diane Davis from the Australian National University (ANU) for making the time to discuss my thesis with me, and for their advice.

It is structure in textures of colour.’ His ‘monuments’, whether oil paintings, pen and wash drawings, or oil sketches on paper, have varied essentially between two kinds of structure. There is the structure built up of clearly defined, tightly bounded forms of the early geometrical-constructivist work; and there is, in contrast, the flowing, richly textured forms of his later period, so characteristic of Bomberg’s landscape painting. These distinctions seem to exist even in the palette: primary colours and heavily saturated hues in the early works, while the later paintings are more subtle, tonally conceived surfaces.

His style is characterised by the use of variegated marks to express tone and texture rather than cross-hatching. Post- war, Gross divided his time between London and le Boulve.

LORD HALIFAX TO OPEN EXHIBITION. On Thursday evening, May 22, Lord Halifax, Great Britain's Ambassador to the United States, will formally open at the Museum of Modern Art an exhibition of the Art of Britain At War, designed to show the wartime roles England assigns to her artists and de­ signers. It will be composed of oils, watercolors, drawings, prints, posters, cartoons, films, photographs, architecture and camouflage of the present war as well as work of British artists during the first World War. The exhibition will open to the public Friday morning, May 23, and will remain on view throughout the summer. It will then be sent by the Museum to other cities in the United States and Canada, The nucleus of the exhibition opening in May will be the group of paintings, watercolors and prints which the Museum expected to open as a much smaller exhibition in November 1940. After several postponments the Museum was finally forced to abandon it as, due to wartime shipping conditions, the pictures did not arrive although word had been received that the shipment had left London early in November. The Museum received the shipment late in January. After weeks of further negotiation with British officials in this country and by cable with London the Museum decided that it would be possible to augment the material already received with other work done by British artists since the first material was sent.

    Strawberries, cream & Pimm’s, Housman Room, 10th July 2019 Notes from the talk by Helen Downes on the Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Art Museum – the new rehang of the Housman Room Introduction Hello, it’s nice to be here this evening and to have the opportunity to tell you more about the paintings that surround you as you spend time in the room. All the works are from UCL Art Museum’s Slade Collection and I’ve been fortunate enough to work on various projects for UCL Art Museum, the most recent of which was Spotlight on the Slade Collections, a Paul Mellon Centre funded project which ran for three years between 2015-2018 - to catalogue and research the Slade collections. But this evening, I’m going to tell you a bit about the collection and its background, and about the works in this room. My talk will be in two parts – I’ll start with a brief, 10 minute introduction to the room and the works and then give you an opportunity to have a wander around before telling you a bit more about the prize system at the Slade and the works in this room. Introduction to the room, background to the Slade Collection at UCL Art Museum and orientation with the hang: As many of you will know, the room has recently been decorated and a new painting hang was curated by Dr Nina Pearlman, Manager of the Art Collections and Dr Andrea Fredericksen, Curator of the Art Collections. All the works on display are from UCL Art Museum’s collection.

Early small gouaches from the 1940s, abstract paintings from the 1950s, the IMOOS constructions (Images Moving Out Onto Space) made in the 1960s, and a series of rarely seen large-scale paintings inspired by light and water made in the 1970s. At the same time, the Gallery is also exhibiting the work of American artist Thomas Joshua Cooper who presents large-scale atmospheric photographs of the Atlantic Ocean made at the edges of the land in Scotland and Cornwall. In Upper Gallery 2 visitors will be able to see a new display of ceramics focusing on the work of Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada. The writer and ceramist Emmanuel Cooper has been invited to curate a new ‘craft showcase’ offering a reinterpretation of the Wingfield Digby Collection. Why bring your students to Bryan Wynter: A Selected Retrospective? Bryan Wynter: A Selected Retrospective is an exciting and challenging exhibition that will appeal to all ages.

  • Print Rebels
    Bankside Gallery | 48 Hopton Street | London SE1 9JH | 020 7928 7521 | [email protected] Print REbels Haden, Palmer, Whistler and the Origins of the RE (The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers) 25 April - 13 May 2018, Private View 24 April 6-8pm Bankside Gallery Then touring to other UK venues in 2018 and 2019 1. Print REbels celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the founder and first President of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, Sir Francis Seymour Haden. A prestigious collection of works has been brought together to show prints produced by Haden along with those who inspired him such as Rembrandt and Dürer, and his contemporaries, including Samuel Palmer and JAM Whistler. In 1880, the time the RE was founded, artists such as Haden, Palmer and Whistler were considered revolutionary in their championing of printmaking as a creative medium. In mid-Victorian England, printmaking was seen primarily as a means to make reproductions of artworks, and many printmakers only made a living working as a copyist. These printmakers were not eligible for membership of The Royal Academy, as creative printmaking was not recognised as an art form on the same level as painting and sculpture. It was this that prompted Haden to rebel against this and form a new society, the RE. Haden and Whistler are credited with instigating the Etching Revival, an art movement which lasted 75 years. The RE has always been closely connected with the RA, with several Royal Academicians being founding members of the RE along with Seymour Haden, and the 2nd 3rd and 4th RE Presidents being also RAs.
