Jacob Epstein (1880-1959)
50th Anniversary Exhibition
bronzes and works on paper
The
Boundary Gallery is mounting an exhibition on the 50th anniversary
of Jacob Epstein's death to coincide with the Royal Academy’s show
Wild Thing: Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska,
Eric Gill 24 Oct – 24 Jan.
Whereas the emphasis of the RA exhibition is the earlier period,
we are displaying works created throughout Epstein’s career, which
demonstrate clearly that his artistic career continued to develop
to the very end of his life.
His
portrait bronzes retain the immediacy of his touch on the clay and
the mood of the sitters as well as the artist’s own feelings. The
same spontaneity and expressive force characterise his numerous
drawings, a good selection of which will be on display. His drawings
are hardly ever preparatory for his carvings or modelled works and
none for portrait bronzes. The speed and flexibility of drawing
acted as a relief from the unremitting physical demands of sculpting,
including direct carving. For example he was well into his seventies
when tackling a huge marble block for the T.U.C War Memorial.
However,
his works on paper stopped with his most substantial project, his
illustrations for Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal which haunted
him throughout his life, culminating in 60 drawings, 24 of which
were used in the book published in 1940 by the Folio Society. Perhaps
the most disturbing image is Spleen, one of several from
this series to be exhibited. Other works on paper will include several
watercolours, which clearly illustrate his interest in female sexuality,
featuring Sunita,who modelled for him from 1924 onwards, and other
famous models including Nan, Meum and Betty May.
But
it is his portraiture that deserves particular attention. Epstein
can be considered as the best 20th century sculptor capturing the
human soul in bronze. The love of his life, Kathleen Garman,was
his muse for forty years and the First Portrait of Kathleen
created in 1921, the year they met, will be one of the highlights
of the exhibition. Their children Kitty and Esther
were sculpted several times and these will also be included in our
show, as well as Peggy Jean, Anne and Annabel, his
grandchildren. The exhibition is enriched by a bronze maquette of
St Michael and the Devil for Coventry Cathedral, a wonderful
composition in bronze.
Many
of the work on show will be for sale but to give the full breadth
of Epstein's work we were fortunate to be able to borrow a number
of bronzes and works on paper from some distinguished private collections.

In
Praise of Humanity
A Tribute to Josef Herman |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The
very act of painting is already well on the way to expression,
but only one’s natural genius for thinking with the material
can raise technique from mere method to an integral whole
with the thought, the feeling, the how and the why of a work.
Josef Herman.
Josef
Herman was the foreign artist who put the British working
class on a pedestal. He never followed any fashions in art
and never courted for favours and as a result, he remained
an outsider. He is probably best remembered for his rendering
of Welsh miners. The Boundary Gallery’s exhibition gathered
some newly discovered early works featuring Ystradgynlais,
a mining town in South Wales, where he lived for 11 years.
There
were several paintings on that theme, including the well known
“Seated Miner” and large format charcoal drawings Mike, and
David - his friends who spent all their working life in the
pits. We also displayed 14 works on paper executed between
1944-1955. The rest of the exhibition covered more recent
periods – with outstanding examples of his work both on canvas
and paper.
During
our 18 years of friendship, until his death, Herman never
stopped talking about this period as the most rewarding one.
Indeed, during the fifties and sixties he was extremely well
known – following his commission for the Festival of Britain,
a mural featuring miners. This firmly established his reputation.
In 1953 he had a touring show that started at Leicester, then
went to York, Hull and Wakefield. A major retrospective at
the Whitechapel Gallery in 1956 was the last time he had a
large public gallery showing his work in London
He
had further major solo shows – in 1958-59 in Edinburgh, Sheffield,
Bradford, Bristol. The Glynn Vivian mounted a retrospective
in 1963 and in 1965 had a major touring show in Middlesborough,
The Laing in Newcastle, Abbot Hall in Kendal, Sunderland,
Darlington, Colchester and the Towner in Eastbourne (1966).
In 1967 the Fitzwilliam showed drawings from the Peter Stuyvesant
Collection and the same year he had solo exhibitions at the
Plymouth City and Reading City Art Galleries. His work was
also featured at The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
in 1969.
Scotland hosted further one-man shows in the 70s. He had a
major retrospective in 1975 in Glasgow which toured to Edinburgh’s
Scottish Museum of Modern Art before it went to the National
Museum of Wales.
His
retrospective at the Camden Art Centre in 1980 was well received.
In 1992 The Arts Council organised a touring show of 50 Drawings
and 50 tribal carvings from his own magnificent collection,
in Durham, Bristol , Swansea, Sheffield, Coventry and Orkney.
The
same year a retrospective was held at the National Museum
of Wales in Cardiff
He
was awarded an OBE for his services to British Art in 1981
and in 1990 became a Royal Academician. Received Silver Medal
for his services to Welsh Arts in 1992.
The Boundary Gallery hosted numerous one-man shows of his
work – 1987,1988,1990, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004,
2009.
The
Art and Life of Josef Herman by Monica Bohm Duchen‘s is
published by Lund Humphries to co-incide with the Boundary
Gallery exhibition In Praise of Humanity A Tribute
to Josef Herman.

Boundary
Gallery Figurative
Art Prize |
|
This
is the fourth year of the Boundary Gallery's Figurative Art Prize
which has been such a success in past years.
Of
the 52 art schools contacted, 102 nominations were received. From
the CDs submitted, 27 artists were shortlisted to present their
actual works.
The
exhibition featured the final shortlisted candidates. The finalists
shared £10,000 prize money.
Most
of the candidates have not exhibited previously and this is an ideal
opportunity therefore to purchase works by up-and-coming artists
at the beginning of their career. The artists come from art schools
all over the UK. However, they are united in their aspiration to
create good and enduring artworks.
