In 1961 she won second prize for painting at the John Moores Liverpool exhibition and in the same year began teaching at the Royal College of Art. She has worked in a number of abstract styles, including gestural abstraction and Colour Field Painting, and she has experimented with adding various substances and or objects to the canvas. Sandra Blow considered herself an ‘academic abstract painter’, primarily concerned with such problems as balance and proportion – ‘issues that have been important since art began’. She has exhibited extensively all over the world, notably at The Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Tate Gallery, Camden Arts Centre, Gulbenkian Hall - Royal College of Art, The Hayward Gallery (London), The Royal Institute of Fine Arts (Glasgow), The Tate Gallery St Ives, The Newlyn Art Gallery (Cornwall), Galleria Origine, The Art Foundation (Rome), Palazzo Grassi (Venice), The Art Club (Chicago), Saidenburg Gallery, Albright Knox Gallery, Buffalo (New York), North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh (N. Carolina), The Carnegie Institute (Pittsburg), British Council Travelling Exhibitions to Canada, Australia & New Zealand and in The Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam).

  • Gwen John: an Artist and Her Teapot in a Man's World
    Gwen John: An Artist and Her Teapot in a Man’s World Jocelyne Fletcher A common trend in scholarly discourse about female artists is to orient them as they relate to their male counterparts. This scholarship implies that a female artist is forever trying to meet a standard set by a ‘creative genius’, a dominant male. Feminist thinking has challenged this apparent necessity: Is it not possible to focus on the artistic production of a female artist independently? Might a talented woman stand alone in critical readings of her artwork? Or must we continuously refer to Artemesia Gentileschi only as she pertains to her father Orazio? Must Lee Krasner always be compared to Jackson Pollock? Georgia O’Keefe to Alfred Steiglitz? This essay will examine the case of the British artist Gwen John (1876-1939) who is nearly always considered in relation to the significant male relationships of her life. In this essay, I consider the view that women ought to be regarded as artists independently of their relationship to men. Seeking to go beyond Victorian era gender ideals by which women artists are understood to be derivative of and dependent on their male counterparts, in this essay I show that there are other reasons why certain male relations should be included in a discussion about a woman artist. The presence of Gwen John’s brother Augustus John and her lover Auguste Rodin in the dialogue surrounding her artwork undoubtedly stems from age-old gendered norms. The real significance of these relationships, in terms of influence on her artistic output, cannot be appreciated using these antiquated models.

Pearce (1996, 67-7) n his poem To Dieppe: A Lifescape, Brian Louis Peirce (1996) has drawn a literary portrait for Gwen John, who irrupted as an event in my project of I writing a genealogy of women artists. Indeed, my interest in John’s life and work unfolded in unpredicted but passionate ways. In the beginning she was not even included in my genealogical archive. While working with fin-de-siècle women artists’ life documents however, I read Janet Wolff’s essay “Rodin, Rilke and Gwen John in Paris” (1994) and I instantly became interested in finding out more about the grey female figure in Wolff’s essay.

It is structure in textures of colour.’ His ‘monuments’, whether oil paintings, pen and wash drawings, or oil sketches on paper, have varied essentially between two kinds of structure. There is the structure built up of clearly defined, tightly bounded forms of the early geometrical-constructivist work; and there is, in contrast, the flowing, richly textured forms of his later period, so characteristic of Bomberg’s landscape painting. These distinctions seem to exist even in the palette: primary colours and heavily saturated hues in the early works, while the later paintings are more subtle, tonally conceived surfaces.

    Strawberries, cream & Pimm’s, Housman Room, 10th July 2019 Notes from the talk by Helen Downes on the Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Art Museum – the new rehang of the Housman Room Introduction Hello, it’s nice to be here this evening and to have the opportunity to tell you more about the paintings that surround you as you spend time in the room. All the works are from UCL Art Museum’s Slade Collection and I’ve been fortunate enough to work on various projects for UCL Art Museum, the most recent of which was Spotlight on the Slade Collections, a Paul Mellon Centre funded project which ran for three years between 2015-2018 - to catalogue and research the Slade collections. But this evening, I’m going to tell you a bit about the collection and its background, and about the works in this room. My talk will be in two parts – I’ll start with a brief, 10 minute introduction to the room and the works and then give you an opportunity to have a wander around before telling you a bit more about the prize system at the Slade and the works in this room. Introduction to the room, background to the Slade Collection at UCL Art Museum and orientation with the hang: As many of you will know, the room has recently been decorated and a new painting hang was curated by Dr Nina Pearlman, Manager of the Art Collections and Dr Andrea Fredericksen, Curator of the Art Collections. All the works on display are from UCL Art Museum’s collection.

  • After Palmer: a Pastoral Miscellany Trained Originally As an Art Historian, Sculptress and Graphic Illustrator at St
    After Palmer: A Pastoral Miscellany Trained originally as an art historian, sculptress and graphic illustrator at St. Martin’s and at Cambridge, Julia Korner, L.S.I.A.D., left Christie’s auctioneers in 1997 after nearly 20 years in the field as a paintings specialist, with extensive knowledge of Old Masters, of British and Victorian and of European and American paintings of the 18th, 19th and 20th Century. In 1987 she set up the Maritime Department, the Frame sales, the Aeronautical Department and finally the Polar Sales and Exploration & Travel. At the same time, she was involved in the conservation of paintings, and the production and conservation of classic gilt and gesso frames and sculpture, all in her own studios. She set up her own business in 1997 to assist clients with all aspects of their collections. She also advises museums and private clients on conservation.
