F 2 F Issue17 18 April.Qxd Face to Face SUMMER 2006 My Favourite Portrait by Fergus Greer BP Portrait Award 2006 Benjamin Zephaniah in conversation with Sandy Nairne Angus McBean, Master of Invention From the Director The 150th Anniversary celebrations continue successfully, with the Searching for Shakespeare and Icons and Idols exhibitions receiving a wonderful response from critics and the public alike. The first goes on to the British Art Center at Yale and the second COVER to York City Art Gallery. We have also had outstanding concerts with the support of the Dorothy Dickson (detail) Performing Right Society Foundation as well as the major Anniversary seminar ‘Picturing by Angus McBean, 1938 Britons’ at the end of March. The Anniversary Time-line and the smaller Anniversary © The President and Fellows displays are proving to be of great interest. This year’s BP Portrait Award and the Angus of Harvard College McBean Portraits are next in the programme, and take us through to the autumn when we present David Hockney: Portraits, a fifty-year overview of all his portrait work. This exhibition has already been displayed to acclaim at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, with whom we have organised it, and will be at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art over the summer before opening at the Gallery in October. One of the highlights of the spring was the Portrait Gala, when 550 guests attended a special Anniversary celebration to raise significant funds for future acquisitions through the ‘Collecting for the Future’ appeal. The combination of sponsorship from Herbert Smith and Dom Pérignon, gifts and help in kind, ticket sales, the Silent Auction, the raffle and the sale of the 150 Mystery Portrait Postcards contributed by artists and friends of the Gallery raised more than £300,000 from the evening. I am very grateful to all those that made this such a success. One of the smaller displays that caught the eye this spring has been the selection of recent drawings by Stuart Pearson Wright under the title Most People are Other People. Pearson Wright, previous BP Portrait Award winner and creator of the much admired commissioned portrait of J.K. Rowling, had once considered life as an actor for himself. The drawings certainly display a great empathy with their subjects, and cover a range of British talent from senior figures such as Alan Rickman and Penelope Wilton to younger up-and-coming stars such as Nonso Anozie and Tom Hollander. A complementary display, including other drawings from the series, runs at the National Theatre from 10 April to 20 May. The artist has himself published an accompanying catalogue, which includes an interview with Timothy Spall – available from the Gallery bookshop. A number of these drawings have now been acquired for the Collection. The new display at Beningbrough Hall near York is an opportunity for the Gallery, in partnership with the National Trust and with the support of the Heritage Lottery ABOVE Fund, to make more of the eighteenth-century collection available in new ways. The Alan Rickman innovative display on the top floor, titled Making Faces, takes visitors on a journey Penelope Wilton through the creation of a portrait, offering insight into the role of portraiture and the by Stuart Pearson Wright, processes of commissioning and sitting. The Trust has fitted the Hall with a lift and we 2004–5 hope that the property will become a good example of accessibility as well as offering a superb interior complemented by great paintings. The displays at Beningbrough Hall, like those at Montacute in Somerset and Bodelwyddan Castle in North Wales, are part of the Gallery’s extensive national programme. The John Donne Appeal, which featured in the last issue of Face to Face, is making good progress with more than a third of the funds raised at the time of going to print. For further information or to make a donation, contact Charlotte Savery on 020 7312 2444 / [email protected] or to donate online www.npg.org.uk/johndonne. I very much hope that the Gallery will be able to announce this acquisition as one of the successes for the Anniversary year. Thank you for your support.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.

  • An Exhibition Curated by History of Art MA Students 4 May to Autumn 2018
    An exhibition curated by History of Art MA students 4 May to Autumn 2018 In Character: Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, 1937 - 1973 Introduction Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh were amongst the biggest names in British theatre and film in the twentieth century. After meeting in 1937, the couple began a passionate love affair which resulted in a marriage that spanned two decades. During and after marriage they continued to have successful careers on stage and screen collaborating together on many productions, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1949), The School for Scandal (1949) and Macbeth (1955). While their acting made the duo’s roles iconic, the costumes designed for them to wear on stage further consolidated their illustrious theatrical stature. The University of Bristol Theatre Collection holds a fascinating array of objects related to Olivier and Leigh, which reveal the relationship between actor, character, and costume, as well as the close relationships they shared with costume designers. Through a display of photographs, illustrations, and costume pieces, we see the inventiveness and skill behind the illuminating designs which bridge the gap between actor and character. With the help of designers such as Oliver Messel, Cecil Beaton, Doris Zinkeisen and Julia Trevelyan Oman, Olivier and Leigh completed their transformations to become ‘in character’. 2 Biographies Laurence Olivier (1907 - 1989) is perhaps the best-known stage actor of the twentieth century. He began his West End acting career in the 1930s and by the end of the decade he had established himself as a star of both stage and screen. He had tremendous range and was celebrated for his portrayals of classic roles such as Hamlet and Richard III, and for his less conventional roles, such as sleazy vaudeville comedian, Archie Rice, in The Entertainer (1957).

  • Portraits & Early Work Arnold Newman Opening
    Portraits & Early Work Arnold Newman ! Opening: May 8th from 6 until 9 pm Show: May 9th until June 28th 2014 ! ____________________________ ! FIFTY ONE TOO is pleased to announce the first solo show by the renowned photographer Arnold Newman (USA, 1918-2006). He’s legendary for his ‘environmental portraiture’: a new approach that he established by capturing his subjects in their surroundings in order to reveal the essence of the sitter’s personality and/or profession. World’s most eminent people took place before his lens: from post-war American and European artists to cultural figures and intellectuals to even American Presidents. Aside his narrative portraits, he is also known for his abstract and documentary photography, his ‘early work’. ! Although he began to study painting Arnold Newman switched quickly to photography. His photographic career started at chain portrait studios in Philadelphia in the late 1930s. There he learned the importance of interacting with the people in front of the lens. In his spare time he wondered around with his camera and mingled with art students who were trained at that time by Alexey Brodovitch (1898-1971), the influential art director of Harper’s Bazaar. Through them Brodovitch’s innovative perspective encouraged to develop Newman’s gaze by photographing his surroundings in a graphical, abstract way. His early work shows views of city walls, porches, chairs, doorways, etc… which affirm a graphic simplicity. Also inspired by Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange’s he captured social-documentary images of subordinated neighborhoods. In 1941 he was discovered by Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and had his first exhibition in Manhattan.

  • For Immediate Release
    Arnold Newman The Early Works: 1938-1942 Sitters and Signatures Autographed Portraits by Arnold Newman 18 January – 17 March, 2007 Reception with the Artist’s Family Wednesday, 17 January, 2007, 6-8pm New York - Howard Greenberg Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Arnold Newman. Conceived with the artist prior to his death on June 6, 2006, this exhibition will feature a remarkable group of virtually unknown photographs that pre-date Newman’s celebrated career as a portraitist. The south gallery will feature classic portraits by Newman that have the particular virtue of having been signed and inscribed by the sitters. The early work is revelatory, the portraiture a powerful reminder of the artist’s legacy as one of the most accomplished and revered photographers of his generation. Of these early photographs Newman said, “I had worked very deliberately on my paintings and the direction in my photography followed the same concept. I was building a photograph. I wasn’t taking one.” This precept is made manifest in all of Newman’s photographs but particularly so in the work he produced in Florida in the late 1930’s. With the money he made in the studio he was able to purchase a Speed Graphic camera with a high-quality lens and with his new equipment began to “build” photographs of a highly experimental nature. Incorporating many of the aesthetic principles of Cubism, Newman produced straight images that border on abstraction. By isolating shapes and objects, emphasizing linearity, and maximizing the visual effects of light and shadow, he created images of remarkable beauty and compositional rigor.
