Short Release Henry Lamb FINAL.Pdf Issued: 5 February 2018 Ravishing reappraisal of artist Henry Lamb to open at The Salisbury Museum in May 2018 A ravishing reappraisal of the work of artist Henry Lamb is scheduled to open at The Salisbury Museum in 2018. ‘Henry Lamb: Out of the Shadows’ will open on 26 May and run until 30 September. This major new exhibition is co-curated by Harry Moore-Gwyn, an independent curator, dealer and writer on modern British art, in partnership with Poole Museums. Poole Museum will mount a similar Henry Lamb exhibition in 2019 and is curating an exhibition about Augustus John in 2018, which will come to Salisbury in 2019. Henry Lamb as one of the leading British figurative painters of the first part of the twentieth century. A close associate of Augustus John, patron of Stanley Spencer and friends with members of the Bloomsbury Group he was also a founder member of the Camden Town Group in 1911. He was a very accomplished musician and trained as a doctor, friends describing him as a well-read, erudite conversationalist. Lamb’s unusual portraits played an important role in his career as a painter, but his townscapes and landscapes as well as his early subject pictures of Ireland and Brittany and his work in both World Wars reveal him to be a painter of considerable range and talent. He became a Trustee of the National Portrait Gallery (1942) and the Tate Gallery (1944). He became an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1940 and a full Academician in 1949. Many of the works on show will come from the Artist’s Estate, but the museum will also be borrowing key works from museums and galleries across the country, to reflect the full sweep of Henry Lamb’s oeuvre. Adrian Green, Director of Salisbury Museum said ‘Early 20th century artists such as Augustus John and Stanley Spencer achieved huge fame and success that still resonates today, but Henry Lamb who worked alongside them is little known. This major exhibition seeks to shine a new light on this talented artist who had a significant influence on his contemporaries.’ This exhibition is the first major retrospective of Henry Lamb’s work since an exhibition at the Manchester City Art Galleries in1984. Time then for him to emerge from the shadows… Image: Self-portrait Sketch by Henry Lamb Pencil on paper Private Collection Additional information: The exhibition represents a partnership between The Salisbury Museum and Poole Museum under the umbrella of the Wessex Museums Partnership, supported by Arts Council England, and is co-curated by Harry Moore-Gwyn, an independent curator, dealer and writer on modern British art, whose previous shows have included Kenneth Rowntree (Pallant House Gallery, Chichester and Fry Art Gallery, Saffron Walden), Laurie Lee (Royal Geographical Society) and Walter Bonner Gash (Alfred East Gallery, Kettering).

Yet sometimes taking the path less trodden can have its own memorable rewards, especially in a wonderful county with a rich history like ours. And that’s the gist of our feature on page 36 of this issue – Wiltshire’s Hidden Gems. Whether it’s an exquisite ancient earthworks like Figsbury Ring or a romantic ruin such as Old Wardour Castle (left) there’s something special round every corner. We also profile the artist Henry Lamb who spent most of his later years with his family in Coombe Bissett. An important 20th-century figurative painter, and co-founder of the Camden Town Group, Lamb is perhaps less well-known than some of his contemporaries, but a major exhibition of his work at the Salisbury Museum sets out to put that right. See our feature on page 24. Elsewhere in the magazine, the Wilsons team shares its insights with you on a number of legal matters. First, we take a look at the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it is giving us the opportunity to take control of our own personal data (p.8).

  • 1 All Work, No Play … : Representations of Child Labour In
    All Work, No Play … : Representations of Child Labour in Films of the First World War Stella Hockenhull University of Wolverhampton During the First World War, even though cinema was still in its infancy, it was seen as a viable tool for propagandist purposes. Furthermore, despite the domination of battle scenes and fighting at the front, a number of Home Front films were also produced to encourage patriotism and to advertise the effort required by the populace to support the troops.1 Indeed, Home Front newsreels were seen by the Government as mobilising useful moral support through nationalism, and, notably, a number featured children in their campaign. However, unlike preceding imagery of childhood, particularly that which had dominated the work of film directors such as Cecil Hepworth (1874-1953), these films did not depict them as embodiments of innocence and in need of protection, nor were they sentimentalised or represented as victims.2 Instead, propaganda cinema of the First World War displayed infancy and youth in military style and as willing individuals ready to serve the nation; this was achieved by detailing their day to day activities in which they were seen as capable, and physically able to help with important tasks such as animal husbandry and food production. Indeed, depictions of children standing in line and operating in perfunctory fashion were habitually displayed, rather than engaged in play activities. and this chimed with the work of artists of the period, and contemporaneous and modernist art movements such as Vorticism.3 One such example, Even Children Help (1917), shows a group of schoolchildren working the land in an orderly and 1 mechanistic way, and Children Grow Vegetables (1914-18) is comprised of shots of disciplined adolescent gardeners, these children dedicated to their task, and demonstrating the correlation between food and survival.

AMIDON APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professolf_J.,J:S~~~~:L:::~~~~~ ~-yab H; .,_,, ~ DEAN~- OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2003 Abstract: This project is a book-length study of the manifesto, which attempts to trace adaptations writers have made to the genre, beginning with the Luther's "95 Theses." From there I move to political manifestoes, including the "Twelve Articles of the Swabian Peasants and Marx and Engels' "Manifesto of the Communist Party," and then to the aesthetic manifestoes of modernism. Later I treat manifestoes of critique, examining texts by Virginia Woolf, Frank O'Hara, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Donna Haraway, the Students for a Democratic Society and the Lesbian Avengers. While this project is a study of genre and influence, it is grounded in contemporary theories of social reproduction.

  • British Paintings & Works on Paper 1890–1990
    British Paintings & Works on Paper 1890–1990 LISS FINE ART TWENTIETH-CENTURY MYTHS Twentieth-century British art is too often presented as a stylistic progression. top right In fact, throughout the century, a richness and diversity of styles co-existed. Albert de Belleroche, Head of This catalogue is presented in chronological order and highlights both some a woman – three quarter profile, late 1890s (cat. 62) extraordinary individual pictures and the interdependent nature of the artistic ground from which they flowered. bottom right Michael Canney, Sidefold V, Abstraction may well have been the great twentieth century art invention, yet 1985 (cat. 57) most of its leading artists were fed by both the figurative and abstract traditions and the discourse between them. Sir Thomas Monnington,the first President of the Royal Academy to make abstract paintings, acknowledged the importance of this debate, when he declared,‘You cannot be a revolutionary and kick against the rules unless you learn first what you are kicking against. Some modern art is good, some bad, some indifferent. It might be common, refined or intelligent.You can apply the same judgements to it as you can to traditional works’.1 Many of the artists featured in this catalogue – Monnington, Jas Wood, Banting, Colquhoun, Stephenson, Medley, Rowntree,Vaughan, Canney and Nockolds – moved freely between figurative and abstract art. It was part of their journey. In their ambitious exploration to find a pure art that went beyond reality, they often stopped, or hesitated, and in many cases returned to figurative painting. Artists such as Bush, Knights, Kelly and Cundall remained throughout their lives purely figurative.Their best work, however, is underpinned by an economy of design, which not only verges on the abstract, but was fed by the compositional purity developed by the pursuit of abstraction.

Lousada Dr. Alastair Hunter Organising Secretary Pauline Vogelpoel Chairman's Report The cheerful report on the year 1956 that I am privileged to offer you is defaced by one black spot: Mr. Denis Mathews, who had been our Assistant Secretary for ten years, resigned in the Spring. He wished to give all his time to painting, and as I greatly admire his gift I must applaud as well as regret his decision. By his enthusiasm, enterprise, tact and imagination as well as by his patient industry he did far more than anybody else to revive this Society, and on your behalf I wish to express the deepest gratitude. The Committee elected in his place as Organising Secretary, Miss Pauline Vogelpoel, who had been working as his assistant: her abilities have already proved even greater than we had hoped. She is now receiving some valuable help from Mrs. Meninsky. The Exhibition of paintings and sculpture depicting "The Seasons", which had been organised by the Society, was housed in the Tate by the generous permission of the Director and Trustees. Forty-four painters and thirteen sculptors accepted our invitation. Their works attracted nearly thirteen thousand visitors.
