In 1961 she won second prize for painting at the John Moores Liverpool exhibition and in the same year began teaching at the Royal College of Art. She has worked in a number of abstract styles, including gestural abstraction and Colour Field Painting, and she has experimented with adding various substances and or objects to the canvas.

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.

Note: FROM THE ESTATE OF BRYAN INGHAM Bryan Ingham was an independent and dedicated artist, who furrowed his own artistic path throughout a long and productive career, attributing his successful endeavours to ‘sheer, bloody hard work.’ Born and raised in Yorkshire, he was introduced to poetry and music by his bachelor uncle, who also forged in him a deep love of reading, despite his struggles at school. His first encounter with visual art and painting was through attendance at Scouts, where one evening a lady artist shared her watercolours; Ingham fell in love and was inspired to start painting himself. Later called up to the RAF, an ‘artistic sort of airman,’ he was fortunate enough to be paired in accommodation with a designer who had attended the Royal College of Art, whom further encouraged Ingham’s creative instincts and set him up still-life studies to work from. Ingham returned to Britain following his service armed with the ambition to be an artist. His ensuing formal artistic training took place at Central St. Martins and then the Royal College of Art, as the young Ingham felt a move to London entirely necessary to both his personal and artistic development.

    Teacher Resource Notes – KS3-5 The Far and the Near International Art in St Ives 6 October 2012 – 13 January 2013 These notes are designed to support KS3-5 teachers in engaging students as they explore the art work. As well as factual information they provide starting points for discussion, ideas for simple practical activities and suggestions for extended work that could stem from a gallery visit. To book a gallery visit for your group call 01736 796226 or email [email protected]. Season Overview This season Tate St Ives provides an opportunity to view St Ives art alongside British and International modernists such as Henri Matisse, Henry Moore and Jackson Pollock, as well as contemporary artists such as Yto Barrada and Nicholas Hlobo. Over fifty artists from 1900 to today, selected from Tate's global collection, are shown in a series of themed rooms. These open dialogues between the practice of St Ives artists, such as Patrick Heron, Barbara Hepworth, Trevor Bell, Sandra Blow and Alan Davie, and the historic modernist context, as well as contemporary relationships between Modernism and international art. The Heron Mall shows a sculpture by Yto Barrada, raising themes connected with a sense of place, including the aesthetic and political effects of tourism on a location. Gallery 5 considers the artist’s studio, both as a site for abstraction and as a means of framing views of the outside world. It includes paintings Patrick Heron made in his Porthmeor studio, as well as work by Pierre Bonnard and Georges Braque. Gallery 4 explores the connections between painting, Constructivism and architecture.

    Britain in the World 1860–Now

    yale center for british art Britain in the World 1860–now Second-floor galleries Rebecca Salter, born 1955, British K37 1996, mixed media on canvas The work of Rebecca Salter draws on a variety of artistic styles, media, and cultural traditions. Her distinctive approach was shaped primarily by the six years she spent in Kyoto, Japan, in the early 1980s, where she studied ceramics. She returned to her native London with a commitment to two-dimensional art and a particular interest in Japanese printmaking techniques and the subtle textures and surfaces of Japanese papers. In the late 1980s, however, she also began to make regular visits to the Lake District in northern England, taking inspiration from the austere landscape and ever-shifting weather conditions. Working within a tight tonal range and rarely letting one part of the canvas speak louder than any other, Salter’s paintings are nonetheless quietly compelling: a suitable match for the architecture of Louis Kahn (designer of the Yale Center for British Art), in whose memory this painting was purchased. Friends of British Art Fund and Gift of Jules David Prown, MAH 1971, in memory of Louis I. Kahn, B2011.8 Sandra Blow, 1925–2006, British Red Circle 1960, mixed media on board Sandra Blow emerged in the 1950s as one of the most innovative figures in British abstract art. Blow built her reputation as an independent and pioneering force despite making and keeping a loose connection to the modernists at St. Ives, especially Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, and Patrick Heron. Red Circle’s vivid band of color encircling concentric black rings on a monochrome field exemplifies her bold abstraction, which nevertheless references the natural world and organic forms.

    TEACHER RESOURCE NOTES KS1- 2 MODERN ART & ST IVES Patrick Heron Window for Tate St Ives 1992-1993 Yto Barrada Palm Sign 2010 This resource has been generously supported by The Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust ST IVES AND ITS LEGACY For more than a century, St Ives has been part of an international network of artists and artistic movements. Among its early visitors were painters, including Joseph Mallord William Turner, who were drawn to St Ives’ spectacular natural setting and the quality of the light. By the end of the nineteenth century, St Ives had become internationally renowned for its marine and landscape painting tradition. From the late 1930s, St Ives became an important centre for artists working in a broader movement known as modernism, which rejected styles of the past and instead embraced experimentation with forms, materials and techniques that better reflected modern society. Attracting a number of artists from Britain and abroad, including the sculptor Barbara Hepworth, whose former home and studio is now the Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives became a hub for exchange of ideas locally and internationally, and remains and thriving artist community today. THE NEW TATE ST IVES: THE FACTS The four-year building project has doubled the space for showing art, adding almost 600 square metres of galleries. It was created using concrete pouring and moulds –it was done by Welsh specialists who used to sing in chorus on site all day. The granite is from De Lank quarry in Bodmin, Cornwall. The faience tiles were made by Richard Miller, owner of Froyle Tiles and the on-screen technician of the Great British Pottery Throwdown To create this new gallery, it was necessary to dig into the hillside behind the original Tate St Ives.

Among its early visitors were painters, including Joseph Mallord William Turner, who were drawn to St Ives’ spectacular natural setting and the quality of the light. By the end of the nineteenth century, St Ives had become internationally renowned for its marine and landscape painting tradition. From the late 1930s, St Ives became an important centre for artists working in a broader movement known as modernism, which rejected styles of the past and instead embraced experimentation with forms, materials and techniques that better reflected modern society. Attracting a number of artists from Britain and abroad, including the sculptor Barbara Hepworth, whose former home and studio is now the Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives became a hub for exchange of ideas locally and internationally, and remains and thriving artist community today. THE NEW TATE ST IVES: THE FACTS The four year building project has doubled the space for showing art, adding almost 600 square metres of galleries. It was created using concrete pouring and moulds –it was done by Welsh specialists who used to sing in chorus on site all day. The granite is from De Lank quarry in Bodmin, Cornwall.
