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. -

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria As Well As Loans from the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Glenbow Museum and the National Gallery of Canada
M e d i a Release January 8, 2015 A Study in Contrast at the AGGV A Study in Contrast The Grosvenor School of Art in London, England offered a rare education in European Sybil Andrews and Gwenda avant-garde art practices during its operating years from 1925 to 1940.

In 1925, Sybil Andrew became the school secretary at the recently established Grosvenor School of Modern Art, staying until 1928.

He introduced his pupils to the formal Art Gallery of Greater language of the avant-garde art of the Italian Futurists, the French Cubists, and the English Vorticists, all of which influenced Andrew’s work. Following World War II Andrews Victoria emigrated from Britain to Campbell River, BC, where she spent the rest of her life 1040 Moss Street adapting her modernist approach to decidedly West Coast subjects including First Nations Victoria, BC, V8V 4P1 culture, the rainforest, and the logging and fishing industries. 250.384.4171 aggv.ca Gwenda Morgan studied wood-engraving, part-time, with a variety of instructors from 1930-36 at the Grosvenor School. -

Draft chapter for Vincent Sherry, ed., The Cambridge History of Modernism Modernism and Technology Nicholas Daly, University College Dublin Modernism first emerges during the transformations of time and space wrought by the age of steam, and it comes to dominance against the background of the ‘second industrial revolution’. This revolution, which was really more of an intensification of earlier processes, was driven by, inter alia, the exploitation of electricity and the internal combustion engine, use of early plastics (celluloid, and later bakelite), the oneiric power of the cinematograph, the sound- reproduction technology of the phonograph, and the communications technologies of the telephone and later the radio. In theoretical terms one could argue that there is no space, no “and” between modernism and these technological shifts: they are bound together in a common culture. But for practical purposes we can describe a set of relations between the two: Modernism incorporates technological change as historical content; it appropriates new representational means for its own artistic practices; and at times it self-consciously draws on the machine world for aesthetic models. -
Painted Land Book Submission
Painted Land: In Search of the Group of Seven by Joanie and Gary McGuffin and Michael Burtch. Canada's northern landscape is rugged, solitary and daunting. It is alluring, moody and majestic. It has drawn Canada’s most well known artists, Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven to the drama of its unfolding seasons; to Algonquin, Algoma and the vast shores of Lake Superior. But where were they, exactly, when they created Canada’s most iconic paintings? Eight years ago, the three of us set out to find the places that inspired these famous artists. We’ve told our story in a film of the same title. And now we want to tell our story in a photographic book chronicling our site discovery research and adventures. We envision an art book featuring 100 paintings juxtaposed with our photographs taken from the exact painting sites revealing the landscapes as they appear today. Stories of the cultural history will be revealed through the artist’s own poetic writings in the form of excerpts from their letters and published works. Matching hundreds of paintings to landscapes has required many weeks of exploratory hiking and paddling. Matching the photographs to the paintings requires a particular attention to the details of the lighting and the seasons. The Group painted in the spring but more often they captured the rich colours of autumn. Layering historical research and our contemporary painting site discoveries is providing the world with a fascinating new insight into The Group of Seven.
