  • TURNER PRIZE: Most Prestigious— Yet Also Controversial
    TURNER PRIZE: Most prestigious— yet also controversial Since its inception, the Turner Prize has been synonymous with new British art – and with lively debate. For while the prize has helped to build the careers of a great many young British artists, it has also generated controversy. Yet it has survived endless media attacks, changes of terms and sponsor, and even a year of suspension, to arrive at its current status as one of the most significant contemporary art awards in the world. How has this controversial event shaped the development of British art? What has been its role in transforming the new art being made in Britain into an essential part of the country’s cultural landscape? The Beginning The Turner Prize was set up in 1984 by the Patrons of New Art (PNA), a group of Tate Gallery benefactors committed to raising the profile of contemporary art. 1 The prize was to be awarded each year to “the person who, in the opinion of the jury, has made the greatest contribution to art in Britain in the previous twelve months”. Shortlisted artists would present a selection of their works in an exhibition at the Tate Gallery. The brainchild of Tate Gallery director Alan Bowness, the prize was conceived with the explicit aim of stimulating public interest in contemporary art, and promoting contemporary British artists through broadening the audience base. At that time, few people were interested in contemporary art. It rarely featured in non-specialist publications, let alone in the everyday conversations of ordinary members of the public. The Turner Prize was named after the famous British painter J.

It is the discernment of the reality of life, a piercing of the superficial surfaces of material existence that gives a work of art its own life and purpose and significant power.1 (Barbara Hepworth, 1937) In 1966, in her autobiographical essay A Sculptor’s Landscape, Barbara Hepworth reiterated the mental, rather than the visual inspiration that informed virtually all of her abstract, sculptural drawings from the early 1940s onwards, when she wrote: I rarely draw what I see – I draw what I feel in my body.2 By sculp- tural, I mean that the drawings echoed, were a two-dimensional exploration of her current three- dimensional obsessions.

Subscribe and listen: https://audioboom.com/posts/7525504-sculpting-lives-barbara-hepworth [music] Sara Matson: She managed her brand, fair play. Eleanor Clayton: A normal person from Wakefield; A remarkable artist but a remarkable woman. Stephen Feeke: Hepworth was odd because she didn't see herself as a feminist at all and didn't see herself as “I'm a pioneering woman”. She just felt she was a pioneering sculptor. Barbara Hepworth: I was born with the ideas of certain shapes in my mind. At least I remember as far back as seven. The whole time one's been working at it and working, trying to simplify and make more mature, get the right scale, and develop it according to the development of society. [music] Jo Baring: Hello, and welcome to Sculpting Lives the podcast by me, Jo Baring. Sarah Victoria Turner: And me, Sarah Turner. Jo, this is our first podcast and episode. Why are we doing this? Jo Baring: We met in our professional lives. You are Deputy Director of the Paul Mellon Centre, and I am Director of the Ingram Collection. We have a shared interest in art, but we realised when we met that we are really fascinated by sculpture in particular. Also, during the course of our discussions, we realised that women artists and women sculptors, in general, are less commercially successful than men, less represented in national institutions, museums, possibly have less gallery shows and we really wanted to unpick why that happens.

  • Cornwall Artists Index
    6/29/2014 Arthur HAYWARD | cornwall artists index cornwall artists index Arthur HAYWARD 1889—1971 Born at Southport, Lancashire, Hayward studied architecture at South Kensington but gave it up for painting, and subsequently studied at the Warrington School of Art and under Stanhope FORBES (/cornw all-artists/stanhope-forbes) at Newlyn. 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.
