  • Eileen Hogan Edges and Enclosures
    Eileen Hogan Edges and Enclosures 9 September – 2 October 2015 Browse & Darby 19 Cork Street London W1S 3LP Eileen Hogan Eileen Hogan never wavered from her determination to be an artist. Growing up as a solitary child in a household with no artistic interests, observing, drawing and painting became her constant companions. Saturday morning art classes run for school children at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts were the high point of her week. In 1963, in her mid-teens, she enrolled at Camberwell as a full-time student. When she emerged ten years later, after further graduate training at the Royal Academy Schools and the Royal College of Art, she had acquired a discriminating familiarity with the most accomplished !gurative artists working in post-war Britain. She had also won their respect and friendship. Hogan is happy to acknowledge that she has been inspired and in#uenced by other artists. These include several who taught (by example rather than instruction) at her postgraduate institutions, and some older contemporaries whose work she especially admired. In spring 1997 a pair of concurrent exhibitions, wittily entitled ‘Under the In#uence’ and ‘Under the In#uence of’, demonstrated her allegiances. The former contained work by Hogan which she felt owed something to someone. The latter contained work by the artists who had helped her !nd her own voice, among them Robert Medley, Richard Eurich, David Jones, Edward Bawden, Gertrude Hermes, Carel Weight, Leonard Rosoman, Roger de Grey, Keith Vaughan and Michael Andrews. Have these artists anything in common, and speci!cally anything in common which resonates with Hogan’s art? The answer is a quali!ed yes.

His introductory essay and 400-name check-list of War Artists' Advisory Committee (WAAC) artists (Appendix I1) are an invaluable source of reference. Elaine Andrew’s essay (Appendix III) provides an account of Morley College London’s history during WW2, setting the historic scene for this exhibition. Margaret Bear has contributed an essay on the fascinating (if little known) ICI ‘Portraits of an Industry’, a scheme inspired by the WAAC initiative which likewise benefited from the expertise of Kenneth Clark. In the creation of this project Liss Llewellyn Fine Art has been fortunate in being able to call on the skills of a huge team of colleagues who have kindly given their expertise. Andrew Cormack and Ian Jack have been especially generous in helping with the catalogue notes.

This is one of the areas in which, to use a cliché still favoured by politicians, we punch above our weight. Around the world, works by the ‘Young British Artists’ have been exhibited, admired, imitated, and bought and sold for huge sums. There is a buzz in our art schools, and a new generation of talented young people are eager to study at them, to gain the skills that will enable them to make their own artistic reputations.

  • Transforming Artist Books
    TRANSFORMING ARTIST BOOKS Transforming Artist Books Beth Williamson Executive Summary With the growth of digital technology, there is a new expectation among potential users of artist books and those that collect and care for them that the activities of making, cataloguing, storing, displaying, handling and looking at artist books can and should be enhanced by the digital. The discussions of the research network ‘Transforming Artist Books’, running from February to August 2012, began from a recognition that important national collections of artist books are largely inaccessible to the majority of their potential users and that this situation could be transformed through digital technology. Rather than viewing the computer screen and electronic text and image as a challenge or threat to the physical printed page, this international research network explored the potential of the digital to transform our understanding, appreciation and care of artist books. These issues were explored through a series of themed workshops pertinent to the study of artist books and digital transformations: ‘Transforming the Medium,’ ‘Transforming Creation’ and ‘Transforming Discovery.’ TRANSFORMING ARTIST BOOKS Researchers and Project Partners The project partner institutions for ‘Transforming Artist Books’ were: Tate The British Library Victoria and Albert Museum University of the Arts London The researchers participating in the project were: Bernadette Archer, Victoria and Albert Museum Sarah Bodman, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Fine Print Research,
