  • THE FRY ART GALLERY TOO When Bardfield Came to Walden Artists in Saffron Walden from the 1960S to the 1980S 2 December 2017 to 25 March 2018
    THE FRY ART GALLERY TOO When Bardfield Came to Walden Artists in Saffron Walden from the 1960s to the 1980s 2 December 2017 to 25 March 2018 Welcome to our new display space - The Fry Art Gallery Too - which opens for the first time while our main gallery at 19a Castle Street undergoes its annual winter closure for maintenance and work on the Collection. The north west Essex village of Great Bardfield and its surrounding area became the home for a wide range of artists from the early 1930s until the 1980s. More than 3000 examples of their work are brought together in the North West Essex Collection, selections of which are displayed in exhibitions at The Fry Art Gallery. Our first display in our new supplementary space focuses on those artists who lived at various times in and around Saffron Walden in the later twentieth century. Edward and Charlotte Bawden were the first artists to arrive in Great Bardfield around 1930, along with Eric and Tirzah Ravilious. After 30 years at Brick House, Charlotte arranged in 1970 that she and Edward would move to Park Lane, Saffron Walden for their later years. Sadly, Charlotte died before the move, but Edward was welcomed into an established community of successful professional artists in and around the town. These included artists Paul Beck and John Bolam, and the stage designers Olga Lehmann and David Myerscough- Jones. Sheila Robinson had already moved to the town from Great Bardfield in 1968, with her daughter Chloë Cheese, while the writer and artist Olive Cook had been established here with her photographer and artist husband Edwin Smith for many years.

  • Disseminating Design: the Post-War Regional Impact of the Victoria & Albert Museum’S Circulation Department
    DISSEMINATING DESIGN: THE POST-WAR REGIONAL IMPACT OF THE VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM’S CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT JOANNA STACEY WEDDELL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton in collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2018 BLANK 2 Disseminating Design: The Post-war Regional Impact of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Circulation Department This material is unavailable due to copyright restrictions. Figure 1: Bill Lee and Arthur Blackburn, Circulation Department Manual Attendants, possibly late 1950s, MA/15/37, No. V143, V&A Archive, © Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Joanna Weddell University of Brighton with the Victoria and Albert Museum AHRC Part-time Collaborative Doctoral Award AH/I021450/1 3 BLANK 4 Thesis Abstract This thesis establishes the post-war regional impact of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Circulation Department (Circ) which sent touring exhibitions to museums and art schools around the UK in the period 1947-1977, an area previously unexplored to any substantial depth. A simplistic stereotypical dyad of metropolitan authority and provincial deference is examined and evidence given for a more complex flow between Museum and regions. The Introduction outlines the thesis aims and the Department’s role in the dissemination of art and design. The thesis is structured around questions examining the historical significance of Circ, the display and installation of Circ’s regional exhibitions, and the flow of influence between regions and museum. Context establishes Circ not as a straightforward continuation of Cole’s Victorian mission but as historically embedded in the post-war period.

LORD HALIFAX TO OPEN EXHIBITION. On Thursday evening, May 22, Lord Halifax, Great Britain's Ambassador to the United States, will formally open at the Museum of Modern Art an exhibition of the Art of Britain At War, designed to show the wartime roles England assigns to her artists and de­ signers. It will be composed of oils, watercolors, drawings, prints, posters, cartoons, films, photographs, architecture and camouflage of the present war as well as work of British artists during the first World War. The exhibition will open to the public Friday morning, May 23, and will remain on view throughout the summer. It will then be sent by the Museum to other cities in the United States and Canada, The nucleus of the exhibition opening in May will be the group of paintings, watercolors and prints which the Museum expected to open as a much smaller exhibition in November 1940. After several postponments the Museum was finally forced to abandon it as, due to wartime shipping conditions, the pictures did not arrive although word had been received that the shipment had left London early in November. The Museum received the shipment late in January. After weeks of further negotiation with British officials in this country and by cable with London the Museum decided that it would be possible to augment the material already received with other work done by British artists since the first material was sent.

    Winter opening in our new location When Bardfield Came to Walden An exhibition of works by artists who lived in and around Saffron Walden in the 1960s to 1980s 2nd December 2017 to 25th March 2018 Saturdays 11am-5pm, Sundays 2.15-5pm 9b Museum Street Saffron Walden CB10 1BN 01799 520679 www.fryartgallery.org THE FRY ART GALLERY The Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden is home to The North West Essex Collection of work by artists who have lived in the area. Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious and John Aldridge were the first artists to settle in the Essex village of Great Bardfield in the early 1930s. Others soon followed, and their diverse output contributed strongly to British visual culture and artis- tic practice over many decades. The influence of this area continues to this day through the work of prominent contem- porary artists. The main Gallery, in Castle Street, Saffron Walden, is open from April to October. WHEN BARDFIELD CAME TO WALDEN Artists in Saffron Walden 1960s to 1980s In 1970 Charlotte Bawden arranged that she and Edward would move from Great Bardfield to Park Lane, Saffron Walden, where life would be more convenient. Sadly, she died before this was achieved, but Edward found a welcome in an established community of successful artists. Paul Beck, John Bolam, Olga Lehmann and David Myerscough-Jones all had established reputations, and Sheila Robinson had moved there from Great Bardfield in 1968. Olive Cook and Edwin Smith, well-known for their books on the English countryside, and the long-running Saturday Books, had long been established in the town.

  • British Figurative Painters of the 20Th Century Whose Development Can Be Adequately Discussed Without Reference to Sickert's Subject-Matter Or Innovative Techniques
    • Question from last week • Where is the Fry Art Gallery that has Eric Ravilious Tea at Furlongs (1939)? The Fry Art Gallery is an art gallery in Saffron Walden, Essex that is best known for its displays of work by the Great Bardfield Artists, including Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious. The Great Bardfield Artists were a community of artists living in Great Bardfield, north west Essex. They were diverse in style but shared a love for figurative art, making the group distinct from the better known St Ives School of artists in St Ives, Cornwall, who, after the war, were chiefly dominated by abstractionists. • Figurative art runs as a theme through all British art. The extremes of modernism—Fauvism, Dada, Surrealism and even abstraction—never took hold in Britain but there was a continued interest in the human body, psychological insights and representing the full range of emotions. This means that most of the artists we have dealt with have been figurative, that is not abstract, artists. • This means it has been difficult to choose a small number of artists to represent the tradition and I have selected painters who stayed with the figurative tradition throughout their lives with the exception of Victor Pasmore as I use his work to create a link with British art of the 1950s and 60s. 1 Notes • Figurative art is a term used to describe paintings and sculptures that are derived from real objects. Figurative art is therefore representational. Note that human figures are often shown in figurative art but the term does not mean figures painting.
