Welcome to the Laing Art Gallery and Articulation WELCOME TO THE LAING ART GALLERY AND ARTICULATION The Laing Art Gallery sits in the heart of Newcastle City Centre and opened its doors in 1904 thanks to the local merchant Alexander Laing who gifted the gallery to the people of Newcastle. Unusually, when the Laing Art Gallery first opened, we didn’t have a collection! Laing was confident that local people would support the Gallery and donate art. In the early days the Gallery benefitted from a number of important gifts and bequests from prominent industrialists, public figures, art collectors, and artists. National galleries and museums continued to lend works, and, three years after opening its doors, the Laing began to acquire art. In 1907, the Gallery’s first give paintings were purchased. Over the last 100 years, the Laing’s curators have continued to build the collection, and it is now a Designated Collection, recognised as nationally important by Arts Council England. The Laing Art Gallery’s exceptional collection focuses on but is not limited to British oil paintings, watercolours, ceramics, and silver and glassware, as well as modern and contemporary pieces of art. We also run temporary exhibition programmes which change every three months. WELCOME TO THE LAING ART GALLERY! Here is your chosen artwork: Early Morning, Newlyn by Dod Procter Key Information: By Dod Procter (1892-1972) Produced in 1926 Medium: Oil on canvas, 49.7 x 60.2 cm Location: Art Deco by the Sea PAINTING SUMMARY Dod Procter produced many paintings in Newlyn, Cornwall. Here, she was part of an artistic community. The soft colours indicate a sense of warm familiarity and the angles of the rooftops lead the viewer’s eyes down to the figures on the pier. The terracotta tips of the roofs emphasise the sharp angles within The shadows in the painting suggest the the painting. rising sun, beginning the day in the quiet seaside town. From these shadows, the reader gets a certain understanding of their own position in relation to the sun. They are transported from spectator to participant in the painting. The theme of morning was also represented by Procter in her famous painting Morning, produced in the same year (1926) as Early Morning, Newlyn. A couple of people walk along the pier. They represent the first signs of life as the town wakes up. The figure wearing the white shirt (closest to the right) sweeps the street, whilst the other figures wander by the boats. The distance between the artist and the figures suggest a theme explored in other paintings by Procter of loneliness and sentimentality, as seen her many paintings of single female figures. ARTIST PROFILE Dod Procter (born Doris Margaret Shaw) (1890-1972) was an English artist who moved to Newlyn, Cornwall, at the age of 15. Later, her art would be most closely associated with this Cornish town. Her mother had studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Procter met her husband, Ernest Procter, at Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes’ School of Art in Newlyn. They went on to study art in Paris together. Here, Procter was influenced by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artistic movements. The couple met several important artists within these movements, including Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In the 1920s, Procter primarily painted women, both clothed and nude. She became especially famous for these paintings when Morning was voted Picture of the Year after being displayed in the Royal Academy in 1927. Procter is often closely associated with her husband. They worked alongside each other and exhibited together. After the sudden and unexpected death of Ernest in 1935, she became even more active artistically. She undertook several trips abroad, including to Canada, the United States and Africa. In 1938, she returned to Cornwall. Here, she became active in many local art associations. For example, in 1966 she became President of the St Ives Society of Artists. In 1942, Procter became a full member of the Royal Academy. During Procter’s life, she produced work at a time when female artists were often discriminated in the arts. Being aware of this, she adopted the androgynous name ‘Dod’. This was not an uncommon practice in the art world and prevented some of the discrimination many art dealers and buyers exercised against female artists. * ‘Dod Procter’, Tate Online, tate.org.uk/art/artists/dod-procter-1801, accessed 16/10/2020. * ‘Dod Procter’, Jenna Burlingham Fine Art, https://www.jennaburlingham.com/artists/604-dod- procter/biography/, accessed 16/10/2020. LABEL TEXT Doris Shaw (Dod) studied in Newlyn from 1907 to 1910, where she met and married Ernest Procter. From 1910 to 1911 they studied at the Académie Colarossi in Paris and were greatly influenced by post-Impressionism and the work of Paul Cézanne. This painting, with its flat areas of bright colour and its adoption of simplified shapes and planes, relates to Cézanne’s interrogation of structure and form. PROMPTS AND QUESTIONS • Remember to write down your thoughts, ideas and feelings about the piece as you go. • With the information you have, go find your chosen artwork and spend some time familiarising yourself with the piece. • Is there anything that particularly stands out when viewing the artwork? Look at the use of colours, medium, subject matter. • What is the subject matter? Explore the narrative behind the artwork. Use all the information you have been provided. • Make a list of the key topic points you wish to discuss in your presentation. Do any of the artist’s other works produce similar themes/emotions? How • do they compare/differ? • Think of the historical context surrounding your chosen artist’s life and work. • Make sure to prioritise which information you wish to include in your allotted presentation. PRESENTATION SKILLS – THINGS TO REMEMBER • Practice - Being familiar with your material is vital for delivering a good presentation. • Take notes of your classmates’ presentations – what have they done well and what parts could they improve upon? You do not have to share your evaluation, but think about how you can apply this to your own. • Plan - Having a well-planned presentation ensures them to run more smoothly, with mistakes less likely to happen. Practising with prompt cards could help you to maintain a good flow of speech and structure. • Remember – Your classmates are probably just as nervous as you are. • Breathe - A simple yet effective way to get through a presentation! • Take pauses – Do not be afraid to take a pause in between sentences. This helps ensure you are not speaking too quickly and makes sure you are breathing! SIMILAR ARTWORKS Dod Procter, Morning (1926). Oil on canvas, 76.2 x 152.4 cm.

During WWI he served with Royal Field Artillery, and returned to Newlyn, being addressed as Captain Hayward. He joined the Committee of the NSA (/cornw all-artists/nsa) , serving specifically on the Entertainments sub-committee, as his organisation skills were well known. After working at Newlyn and Paul, he moved to St Ives, and established a St Ives School of Painting (c1924) of which he was the named Principal - not the same School of Painting now in existence, begun in the 1930s with Leonard John FULLER (/cornw all-artists/leonard-john-fuller) in charge. He worked from Treveneth and Shore Studio (Illus, Tovey, p110), and played an important role in STISA (/cornw all- artists/stisa) . After 1932 he refused to have anything more to do with that organisation, but continued to play a part in St Ives and Newlyn's artistic life through the formation of an exhibiting set calling themselves the CORNWALL GROUP. The HARVEYS (Harold HARVEY (/cornw all-artists/harold-harvey) & Gertrude HARVEY (/cornw all-artists/gertrude-harvey) ), the PROCTERS (Ernest PROCTER (/cornw all-artists/ernest-procter) & Dod PROCTER (/cornw all-artists/dod-procter) ), Hugh GRESTY (/cornw all-artists/hugh-gresty) , Alison ROSE and Midge BRUFORD (/cornw all-artists/midge-bruford) were those who banded together for some years.

  • A Short History of the Cornwall Council Schools Works of Art Collection
    A Short History of the Cornwall Council Schools Works of Art Collection Beginnings On 6th May, 1961 Cornwall County Council received an anonymous donation of £100, made up of twenty £5 notes, with a short note saying simply ‘To help Primary School Funds’. Attempts were made to trace the source of the donation through Plympton post office, from which it was sent, however these efforts failed. Various meetings of the Education Sub-Committee were held to try and decide what best to do with the money, it was felt that it should be used for something specific rather than just subsumed into general funds, and finally art was agreed upon. In September 1961 the Council’s Secretary for Education, Jim Harries, wrote to the artists John Piper, Peter Lanyon and Barbara Hepworth and Jacob Epstein’s recent widow, Lady Epstein explaining what had happened and asking if they might be able to sell something at a reasonable price, or had any other suggestions. They all replied; Piper thought that due to costs of original works buying a group of prints would be more effective, Lanyon was supportive but wanted £100 to supply two small paintings, Hepworth was also very enthusiastic and suggested a scheme of approaching a range of artists to asking them to each supply a piece at a minimal cost and finally Lady Epstein offered to sell a small bronze sculpture by her late husband for a reduced cost of £130. Finally, it was agreed that the opportunity to acquire an Epstein sculpture was too good an offer to refuse and the expenditure of the additional £30 to secure the piece was agreed in January 1962.

  • Aftermath WWI
    ART HISTORY REVEALED Dr. Laurence Shafe This course is an eclectic wander through art history. It consists of twenty two-hour talks starting in September 2018 and the topics are largely taken from exhibitions held in London during 2018. The aim is not to provide a guide to the exhibition but to use it as a starting point to discuss the topics raised and to show the major art works. An exhibition often contains 100 to 200 art works but in each two-hour talk I will focus on the 20 to 30 major works and I will often add works not shown in the exhibition to illustrate a point. References and Copyright • The talks are given to a small group of people and all the proceeds, after the cost of the hall is deducted, are given to charity. • The notes are based on information found on the public websites of Wikipedia, Tate, National Gallery, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Khan Academy and the Art Story. • If a talk uses information from specific books, websites or articles these are referenced at the beginning of each talk and in the ‘References’ section of the relevant page.

  • EDNA CLARKE HALL's POEM PICTURES in the EARLY 1920S
    SELF-ORDERING CREATIVITY AND AN INDEPENDENT WORK SPACE: EDNA CLARKE HALL’S POEM PICTURES IN THE EARLY 1920s by KATHRYN EMMA FLEMING MURRAY A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTERS OF PHILOSOPHY (B) in History of Art College of Arts and Law School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music Department of History of Art University of Birmingham January 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the Poem Pictures made by Edna Clarke Hall (1879-1979) in the early 1920s signify new approaches to the treatment of ‘neuroses’ in British psychiatry following World War One, and contends that the artist’s biography is pertinent to understanding the production and meaning of these works. These hypotheses are demonstrated by considering Dr Henry Head’s responses to Clarke Hall when she sought his aid in 1920, following a period of emotional imbalance and physical illness. The thesis proposes that the philosophies underlying Head’s advice can be traced, via his acquaintance with psychiatrist Dr W.H.R.

    2 MARCH 2017 — 25 FEBRUARY 2018 exhibition guide CELEBRATING THE To celebrate the establishment of a public art collection for Walsall 125TH ANNIVERSARY OF in 1892, we asked the public to select which works they would like to see on display for the annual re-hang of our collections galleries. WALSALL’S PERMANENT COLLECTION The majority of voting was via our refreshed online collections database on our website, with additional votes collected on voting cards in the Gallery. Leaving the choice up to the public was an exciting, yet daunting, prospect, with no idea what to expect! It was also a challenging experience, and significant responsibility, to ensure that the works on display are the best representation of the democratic voice possible, given the presentation of our collections in thematic groupings. However I am pleased to say that, as I had hoped, the exhibition is eclectic and covers a range of periods in the history of the Collection, which I hope offers ‘something for everyone’. To those who voted, thank you for your contribution to the project. I hope you enjoyed exploring and getting to know our Permanent Collection. In our Floor 2 exhibition gallery you will find the Winners Room – showcasing the most popular artworks from each of our collections themes. Within our themed rooms you will then discover the three subsequent most popular works, presented as a trail through the galleries, as illustrated in this guide. A broad selection of popular works from all themes is presented as a Victorian style hang, befitting the origins of the Collection, dominating the wall of the Main Hall.

Acrylic on magazine page. © the artist On 13 March 1950, the composer Priaulx Rainier wrote to her close friend Barbara Hepworth: ‘There are moments in life when meetings can be turning points. One may perhaps have little intercourse later but the time has been taken, the significant germination continues an inevitable process of development.’ This one­day Tate Research seminar M​ aterial Histories: Networks of Women and Art in Cornwall s​eeks to explore how connections between women, such as Rainier and Hepworth, have shaped artistic legacies in Cornwall over the twentieth and twenty­first centuries. These connections are often characterised by creativity, friendship, patronage, community, travel, dialogue, care and support, and have had significant impacts upon how art is made, understood and displayed. Today, these connections continue to be felt in the places and institutions – both in Cornwall and elsewhere – through which art is created, experienced and researched. Many of these histories, however, have remained peripheral to narratives and displays.
