| Description: |
A study of the life and legacy of the artist Alfred Wallis, his role in the art scene in St Ives and his emergence as a pivotal figure in British modernism. |
| Synopsis: |
The Alfred Wallis Factor by David Wilkinson is the result of meticulous research, with many hours spent reading and rereading numerous books, journals, letters, records and newspaper articles in order to build a more comprehensive and robust understanding of the significant artistic events, meetings and conversations to contribute new insights on the framework of enquiry about how, why and when things happened in the constantly changing story of St. Ives. This book explores the dominant personalities of Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Adrian Stokes, Bernard Leach, Terry Frost, Roger Hilton, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and Patrick Heron in their disputes. Their passion was strong and their ambition was even stronger. David Wilkinson's sleuth-like endeavors will provide new insights to a number of perennial questions. What were the key issues behind some of the long-running disputes? Who was the instigator, who was the peacemaker? What impact did these feuds and divisions have on professional relationships within the art community - or even the art itself?" |
