Artist index John & Katharine Maltwood Collection: History of the Collection - Stella Langdale Click here for printable version of original article Born in Staines, Middlesex, Stella Langdale attended the school of art at Brighton for several years, followed by a period of study under Frank Newbury and Maurice Grieffenhagen at the Glasgow School of Art. This sound technical training allowed her to experiment in oils, watercolour, charcoal, pastels, etching techniques and sculpture. In inspiration she followed the sublime landscapes of the British Romantic tradition and the visionary works of William Blake, John Martin and Samuel Palmer. For subject matter Stella Langdale preferred to travel abroad wandering from place to place sketching and absorbing the history, poetic beauty and mystery of remote areas in North Africa, Italy and France. Stella Langdale liked to use charcoal for drawing; seeing things in simple tone and mass. Stella Langdale won her first public recognition in art as an illustrator of books.
www.likeyou.com - Gillian Wearing - Mass Observation - Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago "Self Portrait", 2000 Chromogenic development print Photo courtesy of Maureen Paley Interim Art, London Gillian Wearing Mass Observation Gillian Wearing has emerged as one of the foremost British artists of her generation, creating video installations and photographic works that explore the strange humor and wrenching tragedy of everyday life. Winner of Britain’s prestigious Turner Prize in 1997, Wearing has exhibited extensively in the United States and internationally. Her work often uses the techniques of documentary films and television to frame alternately unsettling, disturbing, comical, and unpredictable actions and words of various people drawn from the general populace of London. This exhibition is generously supported by Margot and George Greig, Robert and Sylvie Fitzpatrick, The Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, and The British Council. Air transportation is provided by American Airlines, the official airline of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Gallery In our current show we've brought together five artists from Great Britain to give you a sense of the experimentation and innovation being done in Fiber Art across the Pond. Michael Brennan-Wood combines found objects with computer-generated embroidery. He explains that the resulting explosion of color and pattern "reference spatial and geometric orientations found in early stitched and woven historical textiles." In contrast to Brennan-Wood's tightly organized constructions, Clare Churchouse's installations are loosely organized, three-dimensional drawings that affect our perception of space. She chooses the everyday and ephemeral to evoke memories and common experience. Jac Scott's domestic sculptures are both humorous and social commentary. Naomi Vincent's work alludes to function, referencing sturdy marine objects while maintaining a fragile, almost delicate appearance. Ok cheerio, off for a cuppa… enjoy the show!
ISIDORE - Accès aux données et services numériques de SHS The art of Stella Langdale, 1880–1976 Nocturne (aquatint; no date). One of Callum‘s recent book postings alerted me to the work of Stella Langdale, an artist and illustrator I hadn’t come across before. Judging from online listings her obscurity would seem to be a result of not having being as productive as some of her contemporaries, and her drawings are a deal more gloomier than the delicate pen-and-ink style that was common in book illustration at the time. But it’s her brooding charcoal masses which I find appealing. Three of Langdale’s illustrated books have religious themes, The Dream of Gerontius (1916) by Cardinal Newman, Christ in Hades (1917) by Stephen Phillips and The Hound of Heaven (1922) by Francis Thompson. The Dream of Gerontius: “I went to sleep”. The Dream of Gerontius: “Then I was sent from Heaven”. The Dream of Gerontius: “Take me away . . .”. Christ in Hades: “Dreadful suspended business, and vast life Pausing, dismantled piers, and naked frames.
