Research students engage in a programme of independent research with guidance from their supervisors. Each student has a team of supervisors (a Director of Studies and one or two co-supervisors). Programmes of research may be proposed in any field of study within the expertise of the University, provided that the proposed programme is capable of leading to scholarly research and to its presentation for assessment by appropriate examiners. A research degree is characterised by the sustained, rigorous and critical investigation of a defined subject, by the openness of the research methods and results to evaluation by others, and by the contribution to public knowledge and understanding of its outcome.

  • Norman Ackroyd: the Furthest Lands Media Release
    Norman Ackroyd: The Furthest Lands Media Release SOLO EXHIBITION BY RENOWNED ARTIST AND PRINTMAKER NORMAN ACKROYD AT YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE PARK 17 November 2018–24 February 2019 Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) presents an exhibition of work by Norman Ackroyd CBE, RA, one of Britain’s foremost landscape artists and contemporary printmakers working today. The Furthest Lands showcases a vast range of work that explores the western edges of the British Isles and runs at YSP, near Wakefield, from 17 November 2018 to 24 February 2019. Starting in the extreme north of the Shetland Islands, The Furthest Lands journeys south over 950 miles to the far south-west point of Ireland, through a display of the artist’s intricate aquatint etchings and a small collection of watercolours. Ackroyd’s characteristic muted tones add depth and energy to both familiar and faraway landscapes, including works such as Ailsa Craig, Firth of Clyde (1986), Treshnish Islands, Hebrides (2007) and Off Hermaness, Shetland (2018). Ackroyd made his first etching over 60 years ago at Leeds College of Art (now named Stac an Armin – Evening, 2010. Leeds Arts University). Created in the same period, Storm Over Gildersome (1959) – Courtesy the artist an atmospheric etching on steel which depicts the skyline of the Yorkshire village – features within the exhibition and has never been shown before. Many of Ackroyd’s early etchings were created in the Yorkshire landscape. Extending this documentation, Ackroyd has produced a new limited-edition etching, derived from YSP’s unique landscape, following a visit to the Park earlier in the year. Bretton Hall (2018) features the iconic mansion house and its surrounding woodland, reflected in Lower Lake.

It is abstract painting of unmistakable accuracy.” – Unquiet Landscape (p.145 Christopher Neve) The work of British painter Ivon Hitchens (1893 – 1979) is much-loved for his highly distinctive style in which great swathes of colour sweep across the long panoramic canvases that were to define his career. He sought to express the inner harmony and rhythm of landscape, the experience, not of how things look but rather how they feel. A true pioneer of the abstracted vision of landscape, his portrayal of the English countryside surrounding his home in West Sussex would go on to form one of the key ideas of British Mod- ernism in the 20thCentury. A founding member of the Seven & Five Society, the influential group of painters and sculptors that was responsible for bringing the ideas of the European avant-garde to London in the 30s, Hitchens was progres- sive long before the evolution of his more abstracted style post-war. Early on he felt a compulsion to move away from the traditional pictorial language of art school and towards the development of a personal language.

Not least the wonderful music we are going to hear in the splendour of the greatest surviving Georgian town palace in London. The City Music Foundation – CMF – is just five years old and it was created in this house. Its mission is to turn talent into success by giving training in the “business of music” to soloists and ensembles at the start of their professional careers, as well as promoting them extensively in a modern and professional manner. Several - the Gildas Quartet, Michael Foyle, and Giacomo Smith with the Kansas Smitty’s, are playing for us this evening. This year CMF hopes to move into a more permanent home in the City at St Bartholomew the Less, within the boundaries of St Bartholomew’s Hospital – and within the City of London’s ‘Culture Mile’. This anticipates the relocation of the Museum of London to its new site in Smithfield and the creation of a new Centre for Music on the south side of the Barbican – all exciting developments in the heart of the Capital.

  • Norman Ackroyd: Travels with Copper and Wax
    PRESS RELEASE NORMAN ACKROYD: TRAVELS WITH COPPER AND WAX Friday 20 April – Saturday 26 May 2018 At One Paved Court, Richmond, TW9 1LZ Artist’s Talk: 12 noon, Sunday 13 May 2018 Open Tuesday – Sunday, 12 – 5pm onepavedcourt.co.uk for more details and information Image: Broadhaven, Co Mayo One Paved Court, an independent contemporary art space in the heart of historic Richmond, is delighted to announce a new exhibition Travels with Copper and Wax by Norman Ackroyd CBE RA, one of Britain’s leading landscape artists working in watercolour and etching. The show coincides with the artist’s 80th Birthday. Travels with Copper and Wax offers a rare opportunity for visitors to view Ackroyd’s early and recent etchings together, giving a unique insight into his work. The exhibition will bring together two distinct areas of Ackroyd’s work – ‘intimate English landscapes’ from the early 1990s, some of which are now scarce, will be shown alongside ‘the edge’, his more recent dramatic monochrome landscapes based on the harsh coastlines, outcrops of rock and wild seas of the north of Scotland and the west of Ireland. Ackroyd comments: “Etching, at its best, is simply another, but very beautiful drawing medium. It demands absolute simplicity of intent.” Ackroyd uses an aquatint etching process, much used in the past, especially by artists such as Goya and Picasso to etch large areas of tone on to a copper plate through a fine grain of powdered pine resin, giving a watercolour-like quality to his work. 1 PRESS RELEASE February 2018 Ackroyd explains: “An etching, in all its forms is a work of art that exists in no other form but as a print from the plate.

    Handlist 74 UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS THE LIBRARY Archives of the Queen Square and Park Square Galleries, Special Collections MS 712 Part I: Collective exhibitions Mrs Sarah Gilchrist opened her commercial gallery in Queen Square, Leeds, in 1964; the enterprise flourished and she moved it to new premises in Park Square, Leeds, in 1968. She retired in 1978 though the gallery has continued under different aegis. In 1981 she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Leeds and in the summer of 1984 through the timely intervention of Mr Stephen Chaplin of the University's Department of Fine Art, she most kindly agreed to give the accumulated archive of her galleries up to the date of her retirement to the Brotherton Library. The archive illustrates the relationship between artist and gallery, and between gallery and collector; it also illuminates taste and patronage in Yorkshire in the third quarter of the 20th century. This first part of a complete catalogue refers to collective exhibitions; further parts will deal. with one-man exhibitions, a picture lending scheme and other matters. Each catalogue will have indexes of exhibitors and of correspondents.
