Press Release 2019 EXHIBITION PROGRAMME Press Release Embargo: 12pm, 16 May 2018 2019 EXHIBITION PROGRAMME Dulwich Picture Gallery today announces details of its 2019 exhibition programme, a revelatory year which will introduce the Norwegian artist, Harald Sohlberg, to the UK, shine a spotlight on the inspirational printmaking of The Grosvenor School of Modern Art and - in a dramatic twist - present a new way of looking at Rembrandt and his mastery of light. The year will also see the return of the Dulwich Pavilion, which will be constructed in the spring and open to the public throughout the summer. HARALD SOHLBERG: PAINTING NORWAY Dates: 13 February - 2 June 2019 Press View: 12 February 2019 Curated by Kathleen Soriano, Freelance Art Historian Supported by The Savings Bank Foundation DNB. In Partnership with National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo and Museum Wiesbaden The Gallery’s first show of 2019 will showcase the highly original landscapes of the Norwegian neo-romantic artist, Harald Sohlberg (1869 – 1935), arguably the greatest master of landscape painting in the history of Norwegian art. Timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Sohlberg’s birth it will be the first major show of his work outside of Norway, bringing together around 100 works with a large selection never-before exhibited. Like Edvard Munch, Sohlberg strongly denied the influence of other contemporary artists, disassociating himself from discussions about where he belonged in the history of art. Instead he relegated the origins of his artistic awakening to his own psyche and to the intense stories and mythologies of the Norwegian land. Consequently Sohlberg’s paintings depict the wilderness of the Nordic landscape, the soft beauty of the flower fields and the harsh cold of the winter. This major retrospective will show the breadth and ambiguity of Sohlberg’s art whilst revealing its relevance beyond Norway’s borders. It will trace Sohlberg’s entire artistic career, from his earliest production as a twenty-year-old in 1889 through to the last year of his life and reveal influences such as Norwegian Naturalism and Symbolism, which he was exposed to during his training in Copenhagen and Christiania. Particular focus will be given to his depictions of the mining town Rørosin in central Norway where Sohlberg lived between 1902-05, including Street in Roros. The exhibition will also include Sohlberg’s iconic landscape, Winter Night in the Mountains, regarded as the ‘National Painting of Norway’. This exhibition will also feature a new installation by Mariele Neudecker, made in response to the paintings of Harald Sohlberg. CUTTING EDGE Dates: 19 June 2019 - 8 September 2019 Press View: 18 June 2019 Curated by Gordon Samuel, Modern British Specialist Dulwich Picture Gallery’s spring show will shine a spotlight on a brief but intense period of inspirational printmaking during the interwar period, with the first major show of work by artists from the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, including the teacher and artist Claude Flight and his students Sybil Andrews, Cyril Power, Lill Tschudi, William Greengrass and Leonard Beaumont. Press Release The school, which was founded in Pimlico in 1925, played a key role in the story of modern art and quickly became a leading force in the production of modern printmaking, in particular, linocuts. The students became renowned for their iconic, vibrant prints that championed the energy of contemporary life in the inter-war years. Whilst considering the radical expressions of the avant-garde values of Futurism, Vorticism and Cubism, the Grosvenor School brought their own unique interpretation of the contemporary world, incorporating elements of art deco, a punchy geometric style and a vivid palette which went on to define the medium of linocut. Arranged thematically, this show will feature over 100 prints, focusing on the key components which made up the School’s dynamic and rhythmic visual imagery including speed and movement, industry and labour, war, sport and leisure, while also looking at materials and technique. It will feature original tools, lino blocks and studies showing how the School revolutionised the process which involved layering up vivid inks in order to produce their distinctive and colourful ‘pop’ version of modernism. Highlights will include Flight’s seminal image of movement, Brooklands, which shows a racing car thundering around the Brooklands track in Surrey and several works depicting London transport including Power’s The Tube Station. As part of the exhibition, Japanese paper cut artist, Nahoko Kojima will create a unique sculpture for the Gallery’s 200 year old Mausoleum. This installation will respond to the power of narrative and movement that is represented through the work of The Grosvenor School artist’s linocuts. REMBRANDT’S LIGHT Dates: 2 October 2019 - 2 February 2020 Press View: 1 October 2019 Curated by Jennifer Scott, The Sackler Director, Dulwich Picture Gallery and Helen Hillyard, Assistant Curator, Dulwich Picture Gallery 2019 is The Year of Rembrandt with celebrations taking place throughout Europe to mark 350 years since the artist’s death (1669). Dulwich Picture Gallery will stage London’s Rembrandt moment with an innovative exhibition that aims to refresh the way that we look at works by this incomparable Dutch Master. Along with many firsts, this show will bring the captivating painting Philemon and Baucis (National Gallery of Art, Washington) to the UK for the first time. ‘Rembrandt’s Light’ will bring together 35 carefully selected international loans that focus on Rembrandt’s mastery of light and visual storytelling, concentrating on his greatest years from 1639-1658, when he lived in his ideal house at Breestraat in the heart of Amsterdam (today the Museum Het Rembrandthuis). Its striking, light-infused studio was the site for the creation of Rembrandt’s most exceptional paintings, prints and drawings including The Denial of St Peter and The Artist’s Studio. Arranged thematically the exhibition will trace Rembrandt’s innovation: from evoking a meditative mood, to lighting people, to creating impact and drama. Highlights will include three of Rembrandt’s most famous images of women: A Woman Bathing in a Stream, A Woman in Bed and the Gallery’s inimitable Girl at a Window which will be displayed side- by-side for the first time. It will also include two works from Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, never displayed before in the UK. This exhibition is the first to be curated by Jennifer Scott since becoming Director at the Gallery in 2017. Rooms will be designed to encourage contemplative moments, with dramatic lighting and illuminating interpretation immersing visitors in Rembrandt’s world. Press Release DULWICH PAVILION June – September 2019 Press View: TBC Supported by the Arts Council In collaboration with the London Festival of Architecture, Dulwich Picture Gallery will unveil its second Dulwich Pavilion in June 2019. Set against and inspired by the innovation of Sir John Soane’s architectural masterpiece, the pavilion will be built in the Gallery’s grounds, offering an exciting new temporary welcome space and food offer as well as range of cultural events for visitors and local community. The first leg of the competition invited entries from emerging architects in early 2018, with the winning design to be chosen by a panel of industry experts including TV personality Tom Dyckhoff, journalist Oliver Wainwright and architect Mary Duggan, as well as the public, who will vote for their favourite design during a special display at the Gallery during the summer 2018. Models by six shortlisted practices will be on public display this June-July as part of this year’s London Festival of Architecture. The winning design will be constructed at Dulwich Picture Gallery to open for the London Festival of Architecture in June 2019. The project builds on the success of the first ever ‘Dulwich Pavilion’ - ‘After Image’ by Bermondsey-based practice IF_DO - which was one of the triumphs of the London Festival of Architecture in 2017 and the Gallery’s bicentenary year. As well as helping the Gallery to address constraints for learning activities, attract new audiences and broaden its appeal to a wider demographic, the pavilion achieved critical acclaim and won multiple awards. The project was transformational for the Gallery as well as for the young architectural practice, IF_DO, giving them global exposure and leading to a series of exciting new commissions that have enabled them to triple in size.

It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation.

  • 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.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.
