He resumed studies at St Martin’s School of Art 1948–50, and at the R.C.A. 1950–53 under John Minton, Ruskin Spear and Carel Weight. At first he worked in a neo-realist style (the so-called ‘Kitchen-Sink School’), choosing subjects from the domestic life of his own home, but from 1956 he became increasingly interested in representing light and its transformatory effects on shapes seen in the open air and under water. His first one-man exhibition was held at the Beaux Arts Gallery in 1953. In 1954 he visited Madrid and Toledo, and the following year travelled to Venice. In 1956 he won first prize at the first John Moores Liverpool Exhibition. From this time onwards he began to visit Mevagissey and Zennor, Cornwall on a regular basis. From 1957 he taught at Chelsea School of Art. Jack Smith exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1956 together with Ivon Hitchens and Lynn Chadwick. A retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1959. He continued to exhibit regularly, showing at Marlborough Fine Art, Fischer Fine Art, the Mayor Gallery, the Grosvenor Gallery, Flowers East and others. His work is held in many public art galleries including Rugby Art Gallery, Bradford Art Gallery, The Fitzwilliam-Cambridge, The Arts Council, The Tate, The Whitworth Art Gallery, The British Council, Birmingham Museums, National Museums Liverpool, Oldham Art Gallery. 4 5 Jack Smith (1928 -2011) 5 Thoughts Gouache on panel, 1970 6 x 6 inches (15 x 15cm) £1,200 6 Above Jack Smith (1928 -2011) Written To The Left Of Orange Gouache on Card, 1970 5 x 11 inches (13 x 27.7cm) £850 Right Jack Smith (1928 -2011) Near & Far Structure Watercolur & collage, 1984 12 x 12 inches (31 x 31cm) £1,200 7 Michael Tyzack (1933 - 2007) Untitled Acrylic on board, February 1962 48 x 48 inches (122 x 122cm) Exhibited at the Portland Gallery, 2009 £12,000 Born in Sheffield Michael Tyzack studied at the Slade School of Fine Art 1951 - 55. The following year he won a French Government Scholarship that allowed him to travel to Paris, where his work began to show a tendency towards abstraction and the influence of Cezanne. He returned to England in 1957 where his interest in music led him to pursue a career as a Jazz trumpeter, continuing to paint in his spare time. In 1965 he won first prize in the prestigious John Moores’ Liverpool Exhibition and continued to exhibit at prominent galleries and museums in England and America throughout the 1960s and 1970s. In 1971 Tyzack moved to the USA where he became Professor of Fine Arts at the College of Charleston. Solo exhibitions were held at many galleries, including Manchester City Gallery, the Richard Demarco Gallery and Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal His work is represented in a large number of public collections worldwide including Tate Britain, National Gallery of Wales, Gallery of Ontario, Victoria and Albert Museum - London, Indianapolis Museum of Art - USA, Walker Art Gallery - Liverpool, Arts Council of Great Britain, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Bolton City Art Gallery, Contemporary Arts Society, Derbyshire Education Committee, Glyn Vivian Art Gallery - Swansea, Sao Paulo Museum - Brazil, University College - London, University of Stirling, Whitworth Art Gallery - Manchester, Rugby Art Gallery, Museum of Modern Art - Oxford, Manchester City Art Gallery, Graves Art Gallery - Sheffield, City Art Gallery - Bradford, Abbott Hall Art Gallery - Kendal 8 9 William Turnbull (1922 -2012) No. 7 Acrylic on canvas, 1966 70 x 70 inches (178 x 178cm) Signed and titled on the reverse Exhibited ‘Beyond Appearance’, Edinburgh City Art Centre, 2007 Scottish Gallery of Modern Art label on the reverse (L.275). ‘On loan from A.McAlpine’. Price on application Born in Dundee, Scotland, William Turnbull left school at the age of 15 to work as a labourer, before being employed painting film posters. Attending evening drawing class at Dundee Art College he was taught by landscape artist James Macintosh Patrick and illustrator Fred Mould. In 1941 Turnbull was enlisted in the RAF. After training in Canada, he served as a pilot in Canada, India and Sri Lanka. Many of his subsequent paintings reflect on his experiences as a pilot, discussed in the film interview with the artist ‘Beyond Time: William Turnbull by Alex Turnbull and Pete Stern, narrated by Jude Law’, from Abstract Critical. After the war, Turnbull studied painting at The Slade. He became disillusioned with the painting course and transferred to the sculpture department where he met Eduardo Paolozzi and Nigel Henderson, who shared his interest in contemporary Continental modernist art. As he became increasingly disillusioned by the attitudes at The Slade, he relocated to Paris in 1948. In 1950 Turnbull had a joint exhibition with Paolozzi at the Hanover Gallery in London. In 1952, he was included in the Young Sculptors exhibition at the ICA which had become the focal point for new art in London. Turnbull, along with Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton and others, became a member of the Independent Group, a splinter group within the ICA which became an important forum for discussion and debate. The Independent Group has been cited as a progenitor of Pop Art. Turnbull was also included in New Aspects Of British Sculpture, an exhibition in the British Pavilion at the 1952 Venice Biennale. In 1955, Turnbull was introduced to a young American collector Donald Blinken who introduced him to a number of the leading American artists such as Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman with whom he established a close relationship. In 1962 he travelled to Japan, Cambodia, and to his wife Kim Lim’s native Singapore. Around this time he began teaching sculpture at the Central School of Art. In 1967 he began to work with perspex and fibreglass, materials he valued for their reflective quality and transparency. In 1973, Turnbull had a major retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery with subsequent exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery, the Serpentine and at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, as well as numerous prestigious overseas exhibitions. He later had a show at Waddington Galleries which featured previously unseen paintings and sculpture. His work is held in many prestigious international collections including The Arts Council, Hayward Gallery, Art Gallery of Ontario, British Council, Contemporary Arts Society, Dundee Museum & Art Gallery, Glasgow Museum & Art Gallery, The Government Art Collection, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C., Hull University Art Collection, Hunterian Art Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art - Tehran, National Gallery of Art - Washington D.C., Scottish National Gallery of Art - Edinburgh, The Tate, The Victoria & Albert Museum. 10 11 Derrick Greaves (Born 1927) The Little Pedagogue (Self Portrait as Teacher) Acrylic and collage on canvas, 1985 56 x 56 inches (135 x 135cm) Ex James Hyman Fine Art £12,500 Born in Sheffield, Greaves was initially apprenticed for five years to a sign-writer and also attended evening classes. He won a Scholarship to the Royal College of Art,1948–52; and a travelling Scholarship to Italy, 1952–53; where he met Guttuso and other Italian Realists. His first one-man exhibition was held at the Beaux Arts Gallery, 1953. In 1956 his work was shown alongside fellow artists Jack Smith, Bratby and Middleditch at the Venice Biennale. He bacame associated with what was to become known as the Beaux Arts Quartet, the so-called Kitchen Sink realist painters. The member of the group he was closest to was Edward Middleditch, in collaboration with whom he painted a mural, The Four Seasons (1957), for Nuffield College, Oxford. He was the most openly political of the group, visiting Russia in 1957 with John Berger’s ‘Looking at People’ exhibition at the Pushkin Musuem, Moscow, and was an early supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear disarmament. He was awarded The Gold Medal for Painting at Moscow Youth Festival, and in the same year a special prize in the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition. For many years he taught painting at St Martin's School of Art, and during the 1960’s at the Royal Academy.

  • Studio International Magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’S Editorial Papers 1965-1975
    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.

Constructionism had emerged in the 1950s, developing a socially engaged art closely aligned with post-war architecture. Its moment was not to last however, and, as discourses changed in the 1960s and 1970s, constructionism was marginalised.

  • A Rational Aesthetic
    A RATIONAL AESTHETIC Alan Fowler [email protected] This article, written from the viewpoint of an art historian rather than that of a mathematician, examines the influence of mathematics in the work of several British artists who began working in a constructivist mode soon after the Second World. They became known as the Constructionists, a group formed in 1951 around Victor Pasmore, of whom Mary and Kenneth Martin, John Ernest and Anthony Hill were those whose work most clearly involved some form of underlying mathematical ‘logic’ or reasoning (John Ernest also joined the later Systems Group). Works by each of these four artists are used in this article to illustrate this approach. While these artists drew on various aspects of mathematics and geometry in the structuring of their paintings and reliefs, it is important to recognise that their aim was not to produce mathematical illustrations. To quote Anthony Hill: “The mathematical thematic or the mathematical process can only be a component: one is calculating or organising something that is clearly not mathematical.”1 And the ‘something’ was an object with a visual aesthetic, or as Hill put it: “an aesthetic of objective invention and sensation, distinctly rational and determinist …”2 The rationalist approach to abstraction developed by these artists, in which the art object is its own essentially non-representational subject, represented a largely new approach in the history of British abstract art. Abstraction in Britain had been dominated by the lyrical landscape-related work of the St Ives artists and by gestural painting influenced by American Abstract Expressionism.

  • The Philip I. and Muriel M. Berman Papers: Collection I
    ² ² ² The Philip I. and Muriel M. Berman Papers: Collection I Held by Special Collections, Linderman Library Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015 Call No.: SC MS 095 Berman Papers Page 1 of 154 rev. 05/24/2006 Biographical Sketch Philip Isaac Berman and Muriel Mallin Berman, husband and wife – the “amazing Bermans” as they were often called – worked together as a team throughout the fifty-five years of their marriage, in raising their family, managing their businesses, making frequent trips abroad, collecting art, and planning philanthropy. This biographical sketch is therefore an account, not of one person alone, but of two together, who devoted a great deal of their astonishing energy and considerable fortune to philanthropy and public service, in their home city of Allentown, their home state of Pennsylvania, and around the world, especially in Israel. Philip Berman was born on June 28, 1915, in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, son of Joseph and Dora (Feingold) Berman. In 1932 he enrolled at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, but in 1933 returned home to join the family trucking business, from which he built his fortune. On September 23, 1942, he married Muriel Mallin. In the same week, however, he also joined the U.S. Marine Corps, with which he served in the South Pacific during World War II. Muriel Mallin Berman was born on June 21 1914, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, daughter of Solomon and Dora (Cooperman) Mallin. From The Pennsylvania State College of Optometry in Philadelphia she earned her doctorate in 1938 and maintained her license in optometry until 1984. In 1945 Philip Berman was relieved of active duty with the Marine Corps.
