Apart from a scattering of small mines and a few huge, opencast sites on the rim of the coalfield, there is no longer a coal industry.

Ibbetson were among the early visitors, drawn to the coalfield by the promise of extraordinary images – the visual combination of burgeoning I know for certain that the ghosts are still out there, haunting abandoned heavy industry and dramatic landscapes. mineshafts, winding-sheds and chapels where the physical evidence of an industry that once employed a quarter of a million miners in these Valleys has They came to witness the fiery spectacle of iron furnaces giving birth to a new almost disappeared.

$**\ S THREE BRITISH PAINTERS HITCHENS HERMAN DAVIE
$**\ s THREE BRITISH PAINTERS HITCHENS HERMAN DAVIE tft^k- FOREWORD With this show we hope to begin a series of exhibitions introducing contemporary European painters to the New Zealand public with a rather greater representation than is possible in large mixed exhibitions. We are most grateful to the lenders, particularly to Gimpel Fils, Leicester Galleries and Messrs Roland Browse and Delbanco, for their generosity and ready co-operation. The exhibition is being toured through New Zealand with financial help from the Arts Advisory Council, and will be seen in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Mr C. McCahon, Keeper of the Gallery, has compiled the catalogue. INTRODUCTION These three artists, from different generations, represent three different trends in contemporary British painting. I von Hitchens, the doyen of this group, is the most easily recognisable as an English artist, for his landscapes are bedded quite firmly in the British Romantic tradition that commenced with the watercolours of Constable, Turner, and their contemporaries. The neo-romantic movement in British painting of the thirties and forties produced a group of such romantics — Nash, Sutherland, Piper, Hitchens, and others who sought for an expressive image in the landscape of England. Hitchens is probably the least literary of all these painters and his own theory of painting is derived from Kandinsky. Hitchens' long canvases are intended to develop this theory which can almost be seen as a harmonic and chromatic system of variations. Herman on the other hand, belongs to the central European tradition. His miners are essentially international figures — seen as monuments or monoliths of labour. -

Monica Bohm-Duchen 1 October 2019
From Warsaw to Wales and Beyond: The Art and Life of Josef Herman Background Notes Monica Bohm-Duchen – 16 October 2019 “Some European émigré artists… enlivened and complicated the artistic life of the post-war years for they brought a direct European influence to their adoptive country… Herman is the outstanding painter of this group and his influence is probably the most familiar, because the most easily recognized. He has acquired some of the aura of the legendary wandering Jew, driven by the circumstances of history and the vagaries of chance…” Eric Rowan, “The Visual Arts”, in Stephens, Meic (ed.). The Arts in Wales 1950-75, 1979 Winchester Art History Group www.wahg.org.uk 1 Born in Warsaw in 1911 into a working-class Jewish family, Josef Herman arrived in Britain (via Belgium) in 1940, settling first in Glasgow and then in the South Welsh mining village of Ystradgynlais. By the early 1950s, known mainly for his images of Welsh miners, he had established himself as a major figure in contemporary British art. Throughout his long life (he died in London in 2000) he remained true to his conviction that art and morality should never be far apart, that technique, though important, should always be subservient to subject-matter and that working men and women – whether in Poland, Wales, Suffolk, Mexico or Israel - embody a profound and universal human archetype. Yet, as this seminar will reveal, his oeuvre is far more diverse and complex than even his admirers will have suspected. It precedes the first major exhibition of Herman’s work for many years, to be held at Flowers Gallery, London, between 15 November 2019 and 1 February 2020. -
