    Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures

    MICHAEL HANCHER Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? —John Keats, ‘‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’’ Tagging Magritte A RT UK, FORMERLY KNOWN AS Your Paintings, is an ambitious project to document and make accessible online all the paintings that are held by public museums in Great Britain. Launched at the National Gallery in June 2011, it was initially supported by the British Broadcasting Corpo- ration and the Public Catalogue Foundation (now also renamed Art UK), a registered charity established in 2003.1 By August 2015, more than two hundred thousand paintings had been photographed for the project’s data- base.2 Basic metadata for each painting was supplied by museum profes- sionals, but more detailed metadata was crowdsourced by online volunteers, who ‘‘tagged’’ individual images with descriptive terms that could be entered in a search engine to call up relevant paintings. An interim history of the project noted that economy was a major incentive for the crowdsourcing: ‘‘It was obvious that it would be prohibitively expensive to pay expert fine art cataloguers to describe all 200,000 paintings systematically and that some sort of voluntary system would have to be devised.’’ Crowdsourcing prom- ised the contributing museums other benefits as well, including ‘‘the poten- tial to engage both existing and new audiences,’’ and the discovery of vernacular (rather than expert) search terms responsive to the interests of ‘‘the widest set of potential users.’’3 abstract Despite modernist precepts, digital projects that use crowdsourcing to annotate large collections of images of paintings and book illustrations with ‘‘tags’’ have encouraged viewers to see things in pictures and to say what they see.

  • Terry Frost, Madrigal (1949)

    Terry Frost, Madrigal (1949)

    1 Searching for Pure Form: Terry Frost, Madrigal (1949) Matthew Rampley Collection: Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum This article explores the place of Terry Frost’s painting Madrigal (Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum) in his career, and its relation to abstract painting elsewhere in post- war Britain and beyond. Keywords: Terry Frost, abstract, modernism, post-war, British Madrigal (fig.1) is one of three paintings by Terry Frost in the collections of Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum, the other two being Orange Umber (1960) (fig.2) and Orange and Blue (1963) (fig.3). Frost (1915–2003) was one of the most prominent painters and printmakers working in post-war Britain, and his work was typified by his use of large juxtaposed blocks of colour, sometimes in harmonious arrangements but sometimes, too, in awkward contrasts that created various effects of tension. Frost was a leading representative of the generation of British abstract painters who came to artistic maturity in the 1960s and were associated with the artists’ colony in St. Ives, including Patrick Heron (1920–99), Peter Lanyon (1918–1964) and Roger Hilton (1911–75). Frost was a latecomer to art. Born in Leamington Spa, he attended occasional art classes as a teenager, but it was not until he was in his late 20s and a prisoner-of-war in Germany that he took to it more seriously, influenced by his fellow prisoner, the painter Adrian Heath (1920–1992). After the Second World War he studied in St. Ives and then in London at Camberwell School of Art, under William Coldstream (1907–87) and Victor Pasmore (1908– 1998).

    Teacher Resource Notes – KS1-KS2 The Far and the Near International Art in St Ives 6 October 2012 – 13 January 2013 These notes are designed to support KS1-2 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.

IVES Nestled along the coast of West Cornwall, St Ives is a fishing town that quickly became a centre for modern and abstract developments in British art. A cultural and artistic haven since the late 1800s, St Ives has been known to attract and enchant artists from across the world. In 1939, sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth and then husband, artist Ben Nicholson, settled in St Ives and established a base for the abstract, avant-garde movement in Britain. With the end of World War II, a new generation of artists began to emerge, led by Hepworth and Nicholson. These artists had a shared interest in abstraction and a deep fascination with the coastal landscape of West Cornwall. Many used the shapes, forms, and colours of the fishing town as a source of inspiration in their work.

As a child she showed very early signs of creative ability. Determining while at school that she wanted to be an artist she set her sights on Edinburgh College of Art where, after some dispute with her father, she enrolled in 1932, and, after periods of illness, from which she graduated with her diploma in 1937. At the suggestion of the College’s principal Hubert Wellington, she moved to St Ives in 1940. This was a pivotal moment in her life. Early on she met Borlase Smart, Alfred Wallis and Bernard Leach, as well as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, and Naum Gabo who were living locally at Carbis Bay. She became a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists and St Ives Society of Artists but was to leave the latter in 1949 when she became one of the founding members of the breakaway Penwith Society of Artists.
