British Linocuts of the Grosvenor School September 6 – October 19, 2013

CRAIG F. STARR GALLERY CONTACT: Elleree Erdos FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: + 212 570 1739 [email protected] British Linocuts of the Grosvenor School September 6 – October 19, 2013 NEW YORK, NY – Craig F. Starr Gallery is pleased to present British Linocuts of the Grosvenor School, on view from September 6 to October 19, 2013. The exhibition highlights the four principal artists of London’s Grosvenor School of Modern Art: Claude Flight, Sybil Andrews, Cyril Power, and Lill Tschudi. In the 1920s and 1930s, these artists embraced the linoleum cut as a new medium, specifically suited to capture the vital changes taking place in their daily lives. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the show. Speed, technology, and urbanism are the predominant themes of the exhibition’s nineteen images. On the heels of Cubism and Futurism, the Grosvenor School artists infused everyday themes, such as transportation and leisure, with dynamism and motion. In a movement towards the simplification and stylization of imagery, these vibrant prints blend traditional representation with modern design. Although they were made at the peak of the machine age, between the wars, each work is a handcrafted, labor intensive image. Vigorous repetition, fragmented abstraction, and the whirling geometries of these linocuts forcefully depict the heightened pace of modern life and the sense of anonymity that came along with it. Craig F. Starr Gallery is located at 5 East 73rd Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 11:00am to 5:30pm, and by appointment. For general information please view the gallery’s website at www.starr-art.com. (###) 5 East 73rd Street New York, NY 10021 Telephone 212 570 1739 [email protected] www.starr- art.com .

Grosvenor School Inspired 15 July
PRESS RELEASE Grosvenor School Inspired A group exhibition of contemporary linocuts, inspired by the renowned Grosvenor School of Art style 15 th July – 28 th August 2016 Private view: Thursday 14 th July, 6-8pm Looking ahead for Brook’s Budleigh gallery we are excited to announce the upcoming summer exhibition, Grosvenor School Inspired , featuring artists: Paul Cleden, Lisa Takahashi and Andrew Pavitt. The British Grosvenor School of Modern Art was opened in 1925 by Claude Flight and Iain MacNab. Flight taught the art of lino-cutting and MacNab taught wood engraving. Other teachers included Cyril Power who lectured on architecture, Sybil Andrews as Secretary and Lill Tschudi attended as a young Swiss student. Claude Flight, a former engineer, taught students to produce multi-colour linocut prints by using different blocks for each colour. Flight’s work celebrated the speed, movement and hustle of modern life in the 1920s and 30s, with dominant themes of sport and transport. Many contemporary artists attempt to capture the essence of the Grosvenor School by producing these incredibly complex angular linocuts, few however succeed in the way that Paul Cleden, Lisa Takahashi and Andrew Pavitt do. Their prints notably capture the spirit of the genre whilst putting their own individual styling and nuances into the work. ‘My linocuts are in the tradition of Lill Tschudi, Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power, and more recently Michael Rothenstein and Edward Bawden’, quotes exhibiting artist Paul Cleden. ‘ I love to look at figurative movement; consequently sports are often featured because of the dynamic shapes and action, but equally a crowd of rush hour people leaving a train, or people browsing Dorchester market are wonderful inspiration, whenever I see a crowd my sketchbook twitches.’ Paul is an illustrator, printmaker and writer, originally graduated from London, now lives and works in Dorset.

This technique, of which The rose is perhaps the most display highlights the vitality of work by a group of artists celebrated. A number of artists also experimented with who were excited at the capacity of these techniques to linocutting, which was taught in schools and art schools create images that were modern. during this period as an exercise in design. Adelaide Perry Such a blossoming of work was influenced by the greatly influenced its popularity through the example of her example of contemporary European and American own work – seen here in her impressive print The bridge - printmakers through the English journal Studio and by and through teaching. Dorrit Black, Ethel Spowers and Australian artists Lionel Lindsay, Margaret Preston and Eveline Syme studied under English artist Claude Flight at Napier Waller who championed the art of relief printmaking; the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, producing reinforced by exhibitions, articles published in the journal works that exemplified his credo that lino cutting was ‘the Art in Australia and a contemporary enthusiasm for ultimate modern medium’.

As a countess who had been in the Polish Resistance, interned in Ravensbrück, and since migrating to Britain in 1946 chaired the association providing relief to Polish ex-political prisoners, she had ample reason and means to settle old grievances and, the police inferred, make new ones.1 But despite this, it was still shocking news that on the night of Friday 24 May 1957 the seventy-three-year-old had been stabbed on a platform of Gloucester Road tube station, West London.
