  • About the Exhibition
    Art of the Wild: Gertrude Hermes and the Natural World 7th February – 4th May Information Pack for Teachers About the exhibition: Drawing on the rich collections of the Ashmolean Museum, this exhibition features innovative prints influenced by Gertrude Hermes’ enduring fascination with the natural world. Exploring the work of one of the most important, but little-known, British female artists of the 20th century, the exhibition showcases Hermes’ process from preliminary sketches and carved woodblocks through to the final prints. The accompanying interactives explore the artwork and objects on display through sound, textures, books, poetry, drawing and labels for younger visitors. Activity bags suited for under 5s are also available. River & Rowing Museum, Mill Meadows, Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 1BF 01491 415605 rrm.co.uk About Gertrude Hermes: ‘We all sensed there was something special about Gertie and her relations with animals, trees, plants, insects. She watched them so intently – seemed more finely tuned to all living things than most of us. … Hers was a gentle wildness.’ Gertrude Hermes’ sister May One of the most imaginative and talented wood engravers of her generation, Gertrude Hermes OBE RA (1901–1983) drew much of her inspiration from nature, revealing a restless curiosity about the world around her, including the River Thames. Her prints echo both the pleasures and strangeness of water, plants and animals. An innovative sculptor, printmaker and teacher, Hermes was trained by the unconventional British modernist artist Leon Underwood (1890–1975), who encouraged her to capture forms in the natural world with a rapidly flowing line. She developed a highly distinctive style that combined great technical skill with a bold sense of design, transforming direct observations of her surroundings into large-scale wood engravings, linocuts and sculptures.

  • “Uproar!”: the Early Years of the London Group, 1913–28 Sarah Macdougall
    “Uproar!”: The early years of The London Group, 1913–28 Sarah MacDougall From its explosive arrival on the British art scene in 1913 as a radical alternative to the art establishment, the early history of The London Group was one of noisy dissent. Its controversial early years reflect the upheavals associated with the introduction of British modernism and the experimental work of many of its early members. Although its first two exhibitions have been seen with hindsight as ‘triumphs of collective action’,1 ironically, the Group’s very success in bringing together such disparate artistic factions as the English ‘Cubists’ and the Camden Town painters only underlined the fragility of their union – a union that was further threatened, even before the end of the first exhibition, by the early death of Camden Town Group President, Spencer Gore. Roger Fry observed at The London Group’s formation how ‘almost all artist groups’, were, ‘like the protozoa […] fissiparous and breed by division. They show their vitality by the frequency with which they split up’. While predicting it would last only two or three years, he also acknowledged how the Group had come ‘together for the needs of life of two quite separate organisms, which give each other mutual support in an unkindly world’.2 In its first five decades this mutual support was, in truth, short-lived, as ‘Uproar’ raged on many fronts both inside and outside the Group. These fronts included the hostile press reception of the ultra-modernists; the rivalry between the Group and contemporary artists’

  • 'Reforming Academicians', Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, C
    ‘Reforming Academicians’, Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, c.1948-1959 by Melanie Veasey Doctoral Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University, September 2018. © Melanie Veasey 2018. For Martin The virtue of the Royal Academy today is that it is a body of men freer than many from the insidious pressures of fashion, who stand somewhat apart from the new and already too powerful ‘establishment’.1 John Rothenstein (1966) 1 Rothenstein, John. Brave Day Hideous Night. London: Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 1966, 216. Abstract Page 7 Abstract Post-war sculpture created by members of the Royal Academy of Arts was seemingly marginalised by Keynesian state patronage which privileged a new generation of avant-garde sculptors. This thesis considers whether selected Academicians (Siegfried Charoux, Frank Dobson, Maurice Lambert, Alfred Machin, John Skeaping and Charles Wheeler) variously engaged with pedagogy, community, exhibition practice and sculpture for the state, to access ascendant state patronage. Chapter One, ‘The Post-war Expansion of State Patronage’, investigates the existing and shifting parameters of patronage of the visual arts and specifically analyses how this was manifest through innovative temporary sculpture exhibitions. Chapter Two, ‘The Royal Academy Sculpture School’, examines the reasons why the Academicians maintained a conventional fine arts programme of study, in contrast to that of industrial design imposed by Government upon state art institutions for reasons of economic contribution. This chapter also analyses the role of the art-Master including the influence of émigré teachers, prospects for women sculpture students and the post-war scarcity of resources which inspired the use of new materials and techniques.
