    Jeffrey Steele RCM Galerie Jeffrey Steele La structure et le rythme La structure et le rythme : sur l’art de Jeffrey Steele Le peintre britannique Jeffrey Steele a été l’une des figures artistiques les plus en vue au sein de ce grand mouvement qui a animé les années 1960, l’art cinétique. Grâce à un seul tableau, peint en 1964, immédiatement devenu l’archétype de ce qu’un journaliste de Time Magazine désigna sous l’abréviation d’ Op Art pour Optical Art, en prenant bien le soin d’annoncer dans le titre de l’article sa teneur : « Pictures that attack the Eye ». Pour l’Amé- rique, le ton était donné. L’oeuvre intitulée Baroque Experiment - Fred Maddox devint tout de suite emblématique de la grande exposition internationale The Responsive Eye, qui fut organisée l’année suivante au Museum of Modern Art à New York par William C. Seitz et qui connut malgré les réserves d’une partie du public et de la presse en général un grand retentissement. Baroque Experiment - Fred Maddox, le tableau de Jeffrey Steele aujourd’hui chez un col- lectionneur brésilien, est en effet exemplaire de son art : abstrait, géométrique, bi-dimen- sionnel, fortement structuré par un ensemble de rectangles concentriques partant du centre et augmentant vers la périphérie, en même temps déstabilisé par le basculement de ses élé- ments dans un sens et dans l’autre. Les espaces ainsi créés se trouvent entièrement occupés d’une même forme en demi - lune répétée dont la hauteur est proportionnelle à la largeur des espaces. Le noyau central quant à lui est tapissé de cercles pleins.

Constructionism had emerged in the 1950s, developing a socially engaged art closely aligned with post-war architecture. Its moment was not to last however, and, as discourses changed in the 1960s and 1970s, constructionism was marginalised.

  • A Rational Aesthetic
    A RATIONAL AESTHETIC Alan Fowler [email protected] This article, written from the viewpoint of an art historian rather than that of a mathematician, examines the influence of mathematics in the work of several British artists who began working in a constructivist mode soon after the Second World. They became known as the Constructionists, a group formed in 1951 around Victor Pasmore, of whom Mary and Kenneth Martin, John Ernest and Anthony Hill were those whose work most clearly involved some form of underlying mathematical ‘logic’ or reasoning (John Ernest also joined the later Systems Group). Works by each of these four artists are used in this article to illustrate this approach. While these artists drew on various aspects of mathematics and geometry in the structuring of their paintings and reliefs, it is important to recognise that their aim was not to produce mathematical illustrations. To quote Anthony Hill: “The mathematical thematic or the mathematical process can only be a component: one is calculating or organising something that is clearly not mathematical.”1 And the ‘something’ was an object with a visual aesthetic, or as Hill put it: “an aesthetic of objective invention and sensation, distinctly rational and determinist …”2 The rationalist approach to abstraction developed by these artists, in which the art object is its own essentially non-representational subject, represented a largely new approach in the history of British abstract art. Abstraction in Britain had been dominated by the lyrical landscape-related work of the St Ives artists and by gestural painting influenced by American Abstract Expressionism.

  • A Survey of Acrylic Sheet in Portuguese Art Collections Levantamento De Obras De Arte Em Chapa Acrílica Em Coleções Portuguesas
    ARTICLE / ARTIGO ARTICLE / ARTIGO A survey of acrylic sheet in Portuguese art collections Levantamento de obras de arte em chapa acrílica em coleções Portuguesas Sara Babo1, Joana Lia Ferreira1 1 Department of Conservation and Restoration and Research Unit LAQV-REQUIMTE, NOVA School of Science and Technology (FCT NOVA), 2829-516 Monte da Caparica. *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Acrylic sheet, also known by the commercial names Plexiglas or Perspex, consists of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Attractive to artists since its development in the 1930s, it became especially popular during the 1960s. In Portugal, knowledge about its use by artists and its condition is scarce. In this work, the main Portuguese art collections were surveyed with the goal of gaining an overview of the use of acrylic sheet in the Portuguese art context and its current condition. The paper describes the methodology used and the results obtained regarding 137 artworks by 69 different artists registered as containing acrylic. Results show that this material is being used by Portuguese artists at least since the 1960s. It has been used in several artistic forms, from painting and sculpture to photography, installation, objects/reliefs, and artist books. Most of the artworks were in good or fair condition. The main problems observed were dust and dirt deposits, abrasion, and scratches. Keywords acrylic; poly(methyl methacrylate); collections survey; condition survey; plastics conservation; contemporary art Resumo A chapa acrílica, também conhecida pelos nomes comerciais Plexiglas ou Perspex, consiste em poli(metacrilato de metilo) (PMMA). Atractiva para os artistas desde o seu desenvolvimento na década de 1930, popularizou-se durante a década de 1960.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE David Saunders Paintings and Works on Paper 1974 – 2014. 16 May – 28 June Private view: Thursday 15th May, 6-8pm Gallery open: Wednesday – Saturday, 12-6pm, and by appointment Black Transformation, 1973-74. Household emulsion and blackboard paint on canvas. 3 parts, 63.5 x 63.5 cm each Andrew Mummery is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition that brings together a selection of paintings and works on paper made by David Saunders over a period of forty years. David Saunders was a founder member in 1969, with Jeffrey Steele and Malcolm Hughes, of the Systems Group. The artists in the Systems Group shared an interest in logical and mathematical processes, a sharing of information, the unity of ethics and aesthetics and logic, and the rejection of individualistic expressionism. They made use of a clearly defined vocabulary of elements, emphasising the materiality and objectivity of the work and the intelligibility and recoverability of the process by which it is made. In 1972 an exhibition entitled “Systems” opened at the Whitechapel Gallery in London and toured public venues in the UK (1). The Systems Group had strong links with international Consructivist and Concrete art, and the work of its members was exhibited widely in the 1970s. The predominance after 1981 - in the art market and in critical discourse - of neo-figuration, sidelined much of the interest in this work, but recent reassessment of the aims and achievements of British Systems and Construction art (2) makes this exhibition of Saunders’ unfairly overlooked contribution to it, a timely one.

  • Andrew Bick Conversation
    Andrew Bick Conversation Liverpool Hope University Gallery 16 November – 18 December 2015 Public lecture Capstone Theatre 7-30pm Monday 23 November 2015 URL Links: http://www.thecapstonetheatre.com/whatson/cornerstonefe stivalandrewbicktheconversation.html http://www.artinliverpool.com/cornerstone-conversation- exhibition-by-andrew-bick/ http://www.artinliverpool.com/featured-artist-andrew-bick/ images: clockwise, left to right, OGVDS-GW [WTF], 2008-2014, installed at &Model, Leeds, June 2014. Studio wall drawing test #1, 2015, installation view, November 2015. In this public lecture and exhibition for Cornerstone Arts Festival 2015 Bick drew on his recent research projects as artist and curator to explore the idea of conversation as a means of exhibition making, bringing together disparate and sometimes conflicting elements of British Constructivism in relation to a contemporary art practice consciously in dialogue with these legacies. Bick uses art historical research as a platform from which to both animate his own practical work and engage with the work of other contemporary artists, including those whose practice is locked in to forms of late Modernism, while, in relation to Bick’s research, developing new currency. This approach to curation and painting opperates in ways that are generative, methodical in underpinning and yet sometimes haphazard in presentation, conversation being an apt model for such an approach. Both making painting and organising exhibitions in collaborative contexts are what drives Bick’s ideas of analysing, discussing and persuading his audience to engage with contemporary abstraction, not as something remote and difficult, but as a complex art form, witty, full of human anecdote, but which can also be austere and demanding in the most rewarding ways possible.

  • Sculpture in the Home
    PANGOLIN SCULPTURE IN THE HOME LONDON 1 SCULPTURE IN THE HOME One is apt to think of sculpture only as a monumental art closely connected with architecture so that the idea of an exhibition to show sculpture on a small scale as something to be enjoyed in the home equally with painting seemed worth while. Frank Dobson, Sculpture in the Home exhibition catalogue, 1946 Sculpture in the Home celebrates a series of innovative touring exhibitions of the same name organised in the 1940s and ‘50s first by the Artists International Association (AIA) and then the Arts Council. These exhibitions were intended to encourage viewers to reassociate themselves with sculpture on a smaller scale and also as an art form that could be enjoyed in a domestic environment. Works were shown not on traditional plinths or pedestals but in settings that included furniture and textiles of the day. With an estimated 2,000,000 homes destroyed by enemy action in the UK during World War II and around 60% of those in London one could be forgiven for thinking that the timing of these exhibitions was far from appropriate. However in many respects the exhibitions were perfectly timed and looking back sixty years later, offer us a unique insight into the exciting and rapid developments not only of sculpture and design but also manufacturing, and the re-establishment of the home as a sanctuary after years of hardship, uncertainty and displacement. As our exhibition hopes to explore the Sculpture in the Home exhibitions also offer us an opportunity to consider the cross-pollination between disciplines and the similarities of visual language that resulted.
