Arts Council Touring of Young Contemporaries, 1949 – 1968 Arts Council Touring of Young Contemporaries, 1949 – 1968 From the very first exhibition of Young Contemporaries in 1949 until the end of the 1960s the Arts Council of Great Britain organised a smaller selection of work (approx. 30 to 50 from the 300 to 500 shown in the London exhibition) to tour venues across the UK. This was part of a larger overall strategy developed by the Arts Council of Great Britain to expand access to the arts outside of London. The Arts Council tour of the Young Contemporaries also offered further support to the selected artists beyond the public platform through the specific promotion of the works for sale - “here is an opportunity to buy a picture or print by a living artist for the home and at the same time to support this courageous venture” - and through paying touring fees. As one artist writes, the touring fees, at times, were the very real difference between ‘being able to eat or not’, as the participating artists began their journey from art student to professional artist.

This epoch saw the rise of painters and sculptors such as Henry Moore, John Piper, Mary Potter, Terry Frost, Sir Robin Philipson, John Bellany, and Mary Fedden to name a few. This period of artistic output contains a range of style and focus- natural subject matter such as landscape and still life remained emphasised; scenes of leisure and enjoyment were prevalent; and those elevating abstraction saw a surge of interest and legitimacy much in part to Picasso’s growing influence.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE ERIC RIMMINGTON : NEW PAINTINGS Bohun Gallery, Henley-on-Thames 8th – 27th November 2010 Stoneware, 2010 Stony Ground, 2009 Oil on linen canvas Oil on linen canvas Eric Rimmington is one of the UK’s most original still life artists. His virtuosic paintings are characterised by his eclectic choice of objects, placed apparently at random against a bare studio wall. The effect is both beautiful and intriguing. In the words of the art critic William Packer, ‘Eric Rimmington has become both one of the country’s most distinguished exponents in the field [of still life painting], and one of the most particular and distinctive.’ Eric Rimmington’s exhibition of new paintings will be on show at Bohun Gallery, Henley-on-Thames, from 8th to 27th November. Eric Rimmington studied at the Slade School of Art in London during the 1940s and 50s. Over the last 50 years he has exhibited widely throughout the UK, Europe and the USA. His work is represented in the Imperial War Museum, the Museum of London, Bradford City Art Gallery, the Gulbenkian Foundation, Scarborough Art Gallery, the University of Wisconsin and in many esteemed private collections. There is also a large collection of his work in the Conservatory and the Grande Salle at Raymond Blanc’s restaurant, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire. Eric Rimmington has exhibited regularly at Bohun Gallery since 2001, following eighteen years of exhibiting in London. For further information, please contact the gallery on 01491 576 288 or visit the website www.bohungallery.co.uk. PRESS

The dissertation draws attention to Power’s unusual method of collecting which was characterised by his buying of work in quantity, considering it in depth and at leisure in his own home, and only then deciding on what to keep or discard. Because of the auto-didactic nature of his education in contemporary art, Power acquired work from a wide cross section of artists and sculptors in order to interrogate the paintings in his own mind. He paid particular attention to the works of Nicolas de Stael, Jean Dubuffet, Asger Jorn, Sam Francis, Barnett Newman, Ellsworth Kelly, Francis Picabia, William Turnbull and Howard Hodgkin.

  • THE Stour GALLERY Original Printmaking, in All Its Exceptional Diversity, Has Always Attracted Artists Paintings and Prints of Outstanding Skill and Reputation
    ANTHONY FROST THE ART OF PRINTMAKING THE STOUR GALLERY Original printmaking, in all its exceptional diversity, has always attracted artists Paintings and Prints of outstanding skill and reputation. The quality of draughtsmanship, expressive techniques, power and beauty of much printmaking, plus the relatively modest cost SUMMER EXHIBITION of original prints, offer an opportunity to buy work by some of our finest artists. An original print is an impression made by contact with an inked screen, block or ROYAL ACADEMICIANS plate such as stone, wood, glass, metal or lino. What is produced is not a reproduction but an original work of art, usually forming part of an edition, in which each print is MODERN MASTERS signed and numbered by the artist. The general requirements for an original print are: i) The artist alone has created the master image ii) The print is made by the artist or according to the artist’s directions. iii) The finished print is approved by the artist Photographic reproductions of prints, drawings and paintings are often confused with original prints. They are often good reproductions, on fine art paper, but they are not original prints. The difference in price commanded by an original print and a reproduction is a reflection of their differences and their aesthetic integrity. Original prints offer an opportunity to buy work by some of our finest artists at affordable prices.

  • The Art Criticism of David Sylvester James Finch Word Count
    The Art Criticism of David Sylvester James Finch Word Count: 99,908 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the University of Kent for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of the History and Philosophy of Art, the University of Kent, Canterbury September 2016 2 © Copyright James Finch, 2016. All rights reserved. 3 Abstract The English art critic and curator David Sylvester (1924-2001) played a significant role in the formation of taste in Britain during the second half of the twentieth century. Through his writing, curating and other work Sylvester did much to shape the reputations of, and discourse around, important twentieth century artists including Francis Bacon, Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore and René Magritte. At the same time his career is of significant sociohistorical interest. On a personal level it shows how a schoolboy expelled at the age of fifteen with no qualifications went on to become a CBE, a Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the first critic to receive a Leone d’Oro at the Venice Biennale, assembling a personal collection of artworks worth millions of pounds in the process. In terms of the history of post-war art more broadly, meanwhile, Sylvester’s criticism provides a way of understanding developments in British art and its relation to those in Paris and New York during the 1950s and 1960s. This thesis provides the first survey of Sylvester’s entire output as an art critic across different media and genres, and makes a case for him as a commentator of comparable significance to Roger Fry, Herbert Read, and other British critics who have already received significant scholarly attention.

This stemmed not only from the memory of being dressed in a blue velvet suit but also from the fact that his daily life was rather isolated from other children, with little freedom to play unwatched.
