About this event
This is the first talk in a series of 7 on Zoom in my course on Cornish Art 1940 to the Present Day. It looks at the original art colony of St. Ives which focused on marine and landscape art and how the shift from representation to abstraction occurred in the 1940s and 50s. It introduces artists such as, Alfred Wallis, Ben Nicholson, Christopher Wood, Peter Lanyon, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Bryan Wynter and Barbara Hepworth. We look at the international influences of avante-garde artists in Europe and America as well as the influence of naive painters such as Alfred Wallis. Cost £10. Also available as a recording on YouTube.
