Understanding St Ives School
So, what is actually meant by St Ives School?
Although they do not see themselves as part of the group or school, the term ST Ives school is often used to refer to artists associated with the City of Fishermen ST Ives in West Cornwall, which is the center of modern and abstract development in the UK from the 1940s to 1960s.
Explanation of St Ives School
The quality of the special light of West Cornwall has withdrawn the painters to St Ives since the beginning of the nineteenth century. But the extension of the Great Western Railway to West Cornwall in 1877, which relieve access to remote cities, makes ST Ives even more interesting as a goal for artists.
In 1928 artists Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood visited ST Ives where they met Naif Alfred Wallis artists, whose paintings had an in -depth impact on Nicholson, confirming the modern direction of his work. In 1939 in the outbreak of the Second World War, Nicholson and his wife who at that time was a sculptor of Dame Barbara Hepworth, both of them at that time were completely reddish abstract artists, settled near ST Ives, where they immediately joined the Russian constructivist sculptor Naum Gabo. After the St Ives war became the center of modern and abstract development in British art led by Hepworth and Nicholson (Gabo departed in 1946).
From around 1950 a group of young artists gathered at ST Ives and with this group, together with Hepworth and Nicholson (until his departure in 1958), the term ST Ives school specifically related. In addition to being interested in abstraction, ST Ives artists are also inspired by the West Cornwall landscape and use shape, shape, and color as a source for most of their work. The main figures of ST Ives schools including Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Paul Feiler, Sir Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, Roger Hilton, Peter Lanyon, Karl Weschke and Bryan Wynet, along with Pioneer Modern Potter, Bernard Leach.
