At first worked in a neo-realist style (the so-called ‘Kitchen-sink School’), choosing subjects from the domestic life of his own home, but from 1956 he became increasingly interested in representing light and its transformatory effects on shapes seen in the open air and under water. His first one-man exhibition was held at the Beaux Arts Gallery in 1953. In 1954 he visited Madrid and Toledo, and the follwing year travelled to Venice. In 1956 he won first prize at the first John Moores Liverpool Exhibition. From this time onwards he began to visit Mevagissey and Zennor, Cornwall on a regular basis.

The award of a scholarship allowed him to attend Leeds College of Art from 1947 to 1952 before moving to Cornwall in 1955. At that time St Ives was the epicentre for British abstract art and the home to Patrick Heron, Peter Lanyon, Ben Nicholson, Naum Gabo, Barbara Hepworth and Terry Frost. Bell received support from many of his fellow artists and in particular Nicholson. Nicholson, alongside his dealer Charles Gimpel, encouraged him to show in London and his first solo exhibition was held at Waddington Galleries in 1958. Patrick Heron wrote the introduction to the exhibition catalogue, stating that Bell was ‘the best non-figurative painter under thirty’. In 1959 Bell was awarded the Paris Biennale International Painting Prize, and an Italian Government Scholarship and the following year was offered the Gregory Fellowship in Painting at the University of Leeds whose advisors at the time were Sir Herbert Read and Henry Moore. It was during this period that Bell developed his shaped canvases, setting his work apart from other artists of his generation. Throughout the 1960’s Bell showed work in major exhibitions in the UK and USA and during this time his work was first purchased for the Tate collection. In 1973 he presented his new work at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, having just taken part in a major exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC. Over the course of the next thirty years Bell combined painting with teaching in various locationseventually moving to Florida State University in 1976 to become the Professor for Master Painting where he lived and worked for the next 20 years. In 1985 Bell was included in the London Tate Gallery’s St Ives 1939-64 exhibition and in 1993 he was part of the inaugural show of the Tate St Ives. Moving from Florida in 1996 he established his studios near Penzance, Cornwall and continued to exhibit in London, the USA and St. Ives. Bell had a major solo exhibition at the Tate St.Ives in 2004 and, in 2011, a further 14 works were obtained by the Tate Gallery for their permanent collection. His work is held in many international public and private collections including The Arts Council of England, British Council, British Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum. 8 9 John Hoyland (1934 - 2011) Chocolate Eggplant Dayglow and PVA on paper 30 x 25 inches (74 x 62cm) John Hoyland trained at Sheffield College of Art between 1951–56 and at the Royal Academy Schools,1956–60. By 1954 he was painting Sheffield landscapes and abstractions from still-life subjects. At the Situation exhibitions of 1960–61 he showed some of his earliest fully abstract paintings in which he used bands of colour to explore perceptual effects such as the relationship of image to background or to create the illusion of buckling the picture-plane. In 1964 Hoyland made his first visit to New York, having been awarded a Peter Stuyvesant Foundation bursary. There he met Robert Motherwell, with whom he was to become great friends, also Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Kenneth Noland. Hoyland’s first solo exhibition was held at the Marlborough New London Gallery in 1964 and his first solo museum show at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1967, curated by Bryan Robertson. He exhibited at the Waddington Galleries, London throughout the 1970s and 1980s. During the 1960s and 1970s, he showed his paintings in New York with the Robert Elkon Gallery and the André Emmerich Gallery. Hoyland disliked the ‘abstract’ painter label, describing himself simply as ‘a painter’. When asked why he disliked the term ‘abstraction’, he answered: ‘It’s just too abstract a word. It smacks always of geometry to me, of rational thought. There’s no geometry, there’s no rectangles in nature, no real straight lines. There’s only the circle, the one really powerful form in nature I keep getting drawn back to.’ Retrospective exhibitions of his paintings have been held at the Serpentine Gallery, the Royal Academy and Tate St Ives. In 1982 he won the John Moores Painting Prize and in 1998 the Royal Academy’s Wollaston Award. His works are held in many major public and private collections. 10 A Mood for Gentle Lovers Oil on paper, 1960 16 1/2 x 21 in (41.9 x 53.3 cm) Opus OG.189 11 John Hoyland (1934 - 2011) Untitled IV Acrylic on paper DATE????? 31 x 27 inches (77.5 x 67.5cm) 12 Flying Machine Oil on canvas (diptych) 1965 - 68 84 x 120 in (213.4 x 304.8 cm) Opus O.562 13 John Hoyland (1934 - 2011) Composition III Acrylic on paper, 1980 Signed and dated 1980, bottom right Image size 26.5 x 18.5 inches (67.3 x 47cm) 14 15 John Hoyland (1934 - 2011) Untitled VI Acrylic on paper, 1969 20 x 29 inches (50 x 74cm) Signed bottom right.

  • The Haunting of LS Lowry

Lowry: Class, Mass Spectatorship and the Image at The Lowry, Salford, UK Zoë Thompson School of Cultural Studies and Humanities, Leeds Metropolitan University, Broadcasting Place A214, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9EN, UK; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-0113-812-5721 Received: 4 September 2013; in revised form: 16 October 2013 / Accepted: 17 October 2013 / Published: 18 October 2013 Abstract: In a series of momentary encounters with the surface details of The Lowry Centre, a cultural venue located in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK, this article considers the fate of the image evoked by the centre’s production and staging of cultural experience. Benjamin’s notion of ‘aura’ as inimical to transformations of art and cultural spectatorship is explored, alongside its fatal incarnation in Baudrillard’s concept of ‘simulation’. L.S. Lowry, I argue, occupies the space as a medium: both as a central figure of transmission of the centre’s narrative of inclusivity through cultural regeneration, and as one who communes with phantoms: remainders of the working-class life and culture that once occupied this locale. Through an exploration of various installations there in his name, Lowry is configured as a ‘destructive character’, who, by making possible an alternative route through its spaces, refuses to allow The Lowry Centre to insulate itself from its locale and the debt it owes to its past. Keywords: aura; simulation; The Lowry; cultural regeneration; haunting; class I have been called a painter of Manchester workpeople.

    From the Margins to the Core? Conference Additional Programme Information Day 2 - Thursday 25 March 2010 Connecting or Competing Equalities? 09.30-09.50 Title: Diversity and cultural policy This presentation will suggest how contemporary concerns with diversity and difference present particular challenges for mainstream art historical and curatorial practice. It will locate Dr Leon Wainwright’s own practice, which overlaps historical research, collaborations with museums and galleries, and curatorial work. Briefly, he will set out the broader intellectual background on which the concept of ‘margins and core’ has emerged in the academy, and suggest why opportunities for exploring transnationalism may also become the site of ‘competing equalities’. The examples for this range from the institutional life in Britain of World Art Studies, and two exhibitions in Liverpool in 2010. Chair: Dr Jo Littler, Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Middlesex University As well as being the Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Middlesex University, Jo Littler is co-editor, with Roshi Naidoo, of The Politics of Heritage: The Legacies of Race (Routledge 2005), author of Radical Consumption?
