Patrick Procktor: The Last Romantic at Arts University Bournemouth

  Patrick Procktor photographed in 1968. © The Redfern Gallery, London. Patrick Procktor: The Last Romantic Curated by Dr. Ian Massey January 14 - February 25, 2016 The Gallery, Arts University Bournemouth info From the Press Release The artist Patrick Procktor RA (1936-2003) first came to prominence in 1963, when his first show opened at  The Redfern Gallery  in London. Both critically acclaimed and a near sell-out, the show launched him as a star of the Sixties art scene: remarkable given that he had graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art less than a year before. With his friends David Hockney, Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, Procktor became part of a bohemian circle, one that reinvented modernity, seizing glamour as a liberating force at a time when, in cultural commentator Peter York’s phrase, ‘Style became a weapon to forge your own legend.’ Renowned for his camp theatricality and rapier wit, the charismatic Procktor formed many fri...

Violent Storm

Käthe Kollwitz,  Tod and Frau (Death Seizing a Woman) , 1910, 17 1/2 x 17 in. Etching on paper. Pomona College Collection. Gift of the Culley Collection Violent Storm   by Mark Strand Those who have chosen to pass the night Entertaining friends And intimate ideas in the bright, Commodious rooms of dreams Will not feel the slightest tremor Or be wakened by what seems Only a quirk in the dry run Of conventional weather. For them, The long night sweeping over these trees And houses will have been no more than one In a series whose end Only the nervous or morbid consider. But for us, the wide-awake, who tend To believe the worst is always waiting Around the next corner or hiding in the dry, Unsteady branch of a sick tree, debating Whether or not to fell the passerby, It has a sinister air. How we wish we were sunning ourselves In a world of familiar views And fixed conditions, confined By what we know, and able to refuse Entry to the unaccounted for. For now, Deep...

Some Skeletons from Georges Rouault's Miserere et Guerre

Georges Rouault, Paris, 1957 by Arnold Newman "For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh." "Nothing is old, nothing is new, save the light of grace underneath which beats a human heart.  The way of feeling, of understanding, of loving; the way of seeing the country, the faces that your father saw, that your mother knew. The rest is chimerical." Georges Rouault's Miserere The series of prints known as the  Miserere  by Georges Rouault (1871-1958) was commissioned originally as one of numerous, illustrated book projects conceived by the Parisian dealer Ambrose Vollard (1865-1939), who after 1916 functioned as the artist's sole agent and employer. To be titled  Miserere et Guerre  the proposed two volumes, each with fifty prints by Rouault and text by his friend, the poet Andre Suares (1866-1948), were never completed as planned. Suares, who contended tha...
