Exhibition 18th – 28th November Fully illustrated catalogue and price list £12.50 inc p&p Antony Williams first rose to public prominence in May 1996, when his frank portrait of HM The Queen was unveiled. The cause of public outrage was the artist’s unflinching observation and record of the skin’s surface, with its creases, folds and inevitable signs of age. As Martin Gayford has pointed out, while other artists interested in presenting the physicality of their subjects have turned to the luscious medium of oil paint as a metaphor for the sensuality of flesh itself, Williams more usually uses egg tempera. An exacting, timeconsuming medium, tempera heightens the dry, parchment-like surface of skin and the numerous fine details it contains.

Director's Letter Stefan van Raay

Moore working on a textile design in 1943

Reproduced by permission of The Henry Moore Foundation

While many will be familiar with Henry Moore's largescale sculptures and famous wartime sketches of the London Underground, this autumn's major temporary exhibition introduces a different side to this muchloved artist. 'Henry Moore Textiles', which comes from Moore's former home in Perry Green, focuses on the artist's designs for textiles and fabrics, setting them alongside his drawings, maquettes and smaller-scale sculptures. Anita Feldman, Curator of the Henry Moore Foundation, introduces this fascinating show in an extract from the accompanying catalogue on page 18.

Moore began working on designs for fabrics during the Second World War when the Czech textile manufacturer Zika Ascher commissioned Moore, Matisse, Cocteau and others, to create designs for fabric 'squares' or scarves. Produced in cotton, rayon and parachute nylon, as well as silk, the scarves were intended to brighten up post-war wardrobes with bold patterns and colours such as shocking pinks and acid greens. To celebrate the occasion of the Henry Moore Textiles exhibition at Pallant House Gallery, a new limited edition scarf has been produced, printing one of Moore's designs from the 1940s onto silk for the first time. More details of this unique piece of history, as well as the other fabrics available to buy can be found on pages 32–33.

This season the Gallery also looks at the works on paper of another famous sculptor and one time resident of Chichester, Eric Gill. Best known for his typographical work, especially the renowned Gill Sans font, Gill's wider body of work reflects his own internal contradictions between a controversial private life and personal spirituality. Simon Martin, Head of Curatorial Services at Pallant House Gallery, explores Gill's life and work in the exhibition 'Eric Gill: Sacred and Profane' on page 24. Fans of Gill's work will also be delighted to see the Gallery's Ditchling Nativity crib on loan to Chichester Cathedral this Advent.

Other highlights this winter include 'The Search for the Real: The Figure from Sickert to Auerbach', an in-focus display which explores depictions of the human form throughout the twentiethcentury, and a series of seasonal Alpine prints by the contemporary artist Emma Stibbon. Stibbon introduces her work in her own words on page 28.

Finally, despite frugal times, the Gallery continues to push forward with the appeal to offer free entry to the Collection for everyone by 2012. Every penny helps, and you can help by dropping a few coins in to the donations box on the Ground Floor at the Gallery.

To find out about bigger ways to give, contact Elaine Bentley, Head of Development, at the Gallery.

The Hans Feibusch Archive In 1998 Pallant House Gallery was presented with the contents of the studio of the artist Hans Feibusch (1898–1998), one of the leading 20th century mural painters in Britain. This summer Jessica Baggaley and Naomi Davenport, students at the Courtauld Institute of Art and Jo Milner from the University of Manchester, have been working with the curatorial staff to create an inventory of the archive which includes personal correspondences and photographs as well as source material and sketches. The artist’s nephew Paul Werth has set up an internet blog dedicated to Hans Feibusch: www.hansfeibusch.blogspot.com

Eric Gill Crucifixion An important early stone sculpture by Eric Gill has been loaned to the Gallery from a private collection. The sculpture features the Crucifixion and was previously unrecorded.

It has since been authenticated and with its provenance, is an important part of the significant artistic legacy of the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic. In the work Christ is not nailed to the cross, but instead appears to have placed himself against the cross.

The clothed figure recalls the carvings at Chartres Cathedral, appearing untouched by the pain and suffering that he experiences.

Ditchling Nativity to Chichester Cathedral To complement the Eric Gill print show in December, Pallant House Gallery is lending the Ditchling Nativity (1923) by Eric Gill, David Jones and Jacob Cribb to Chichester Cathedral as part of the Advent and Christmas celebrations.

This unique wooden crib was a collaborative work between members of the Ditchling Community: Gill carved the Christ child, Joseph Cribb designed and made the Hound of St Dominic, while Jones made the figures of Joseph and Mary in the winter of 1922–3.

Rauschenberg's Stoned Moon To coincide with the fortieth anniversary of the first manned mission to the moon, Mr John Doff has presented the Gallery with a print by the American Pop Artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008). 'Tilt' from Rauschenberg's 'Stoned Moon' series was created in 1969 after the artist was invited by NASA to witness the lift-off of Apollo 11. The title was a double pun referring to both the literal lithographic stones and the metaphorical feeling of being 'stoned' produced by one of the most important events in the history of man.

Jann Haworth at Wolverhampton Art Gallery The retrospective of the Hollywood-born Pop artist Jann Haworth at Wolverhampton Art Gallery (26 Oct 2009–10 Apr 2010) will feature two major works from the Pallant House Gallery collection. The artist is restoring 'Cowboy' and 'Mae West Dressing Table' expressly for the show which offers a rare opportunity to see her early soft sculptures alongside more recent pieces including giant charm bracelets and corset canvases. www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/wolves

Conversation Anglaise – La Groupe de Bloomsbury The Bloomsbury Group were among the first artists to introduce the continental artistic influences of Post-Impressionism to Britain in the early twentieth-century. This cultural exchange is being celebrated in an exhibition at La Piscine, Musée d'Art et d'Industrie André Diligent in Roubaix (20 Nov 2009–27 Feb 2010.) Pallant House Gallery is contributing to this significant show by lending 'Bathers by the Pond' (1920), Duncan Grant's homoerotic bathing scene which was influenced by the work of Cézanne and Seurat.

Ceramics by Braden and Pleydell-Bouverie Ceramics by the pioneering British women Studio Potters, Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie (1895–1985) and Norah Braden (1901–2001) have been presented to the Gallery by Mrs Pat ArThurs. Both artists trained at Bernard Leach's St Ives Pottery in the 1920s before working together at Coleshill Pottery from 1928. During the following eight years they produced individual pieces mainly using ash glazes made from the plants and wood on the estate, firing them in a large wood-fired kiln.

Frank Auerbach – London Building Sites 1952–62 Frank Auerbach's 'Oxford Street Building Site' (1960) is a key exhibit in the first exhibition to explore the artist's extraordinary group of paintings of post-war London building sites.

Henry Moore Textiles Anita Feldman, Curator of the Henry Moore Foundation

Whilst steadfastly opposed to using colour in his sculpture, considering it a distraction from form, Henry Moore's lesser-known designs for textiles reveal a surprising penchant for colour: from acid greens to shocking pinks. Here, Anita Feldman, Curator of the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green and the Henry Moore Textiles exhibition now showing at Pallant House Gallery, introduces Moore as a textile designer, and reveals a different side to this great British artist.

Henry Moore, Family Groups Textile (c.1946) with Moore's bronze Family Group (1945)

Moore is best known for his monumental sculpture, evocative war drawings and for his inspirational use of natural forms – from bones and stones to gnarled roots and the internal coils of a sea shell. Visitors to his maquette studio at Perry Green are often astonished to discover that the artist worked on an intimate scale with objects he could hold in the palm of his hand, and that fewer than ten per cent of his ideas were enlarged.

His textile designs fall into this category as well: they remain virtually unknown, the majority are drawn on paper measuring a mere 204 x 165mm, and relatively few were put into production. Yet these compositions reveal many illuminating aspects of his work, with ties to his interests in non-western art, organic form and perhaps surprisingly, industrial materials and vivid colour.

The textiles are intricately connected to Moore's aims as a post-war artist, particularly as a socialist who believed that modern art should be a part of daily life and that art could act as a cohesive force in society – bringing together communities through public projects as well as inspiring a new approach to family living through modern designs and materials for dress and upholstery fabrics. Incorporating industrial motifs such as barbed wire or twisted safety pins give the designs a distinctive hard edge, while enigmatic surrealist motifs such as clock hands harken back to Moore's pre-war experiments mediating between the camps of the Surrealists and the Abstractionists. Vibrant and 19

sometimes dizzying intertwining streaks of colour such as appear in 'Fern Leaves and Palm Branches' anticipate the gestural freedom of the Abstract Expressionists, and question the preconceived notion that Moore was somehow divorced in his aesthetic pursuits from his contemporaries in the post-war avant-garde.

Many of the subjects depicted in Moore's textile designs are unusually whimsical, from imaginative sea creatures to twisting caterpillars, insect wings, piano keys and even rows of tepees. Although free from direct ties to sculpture, in some instances patterns are carried forward from one medium to another, such as in 'Textile Design: Figure Studies' (1943) which clearly relates to Moore's leaf figures in bronze a decade later.

In other drawings Moore revisits his compositions from the 1930s, reviving the free line and interplay of geometric shapes in 'Textile Design' (1943). One expects to find reclining figures, Moore's preferred template for exploring form. Yet out of twenty eight textile patterns only three employ this theme, and in one in particular, the lines of brilliantly coloured drapery flow on through the repeat until the figures virtually dissolve within them.

Moore once said that colour for him was 'a bit of a holiday', and his work in textiles, as in his drawings and graphics, gave him unrestrained freedom within which to experiment. For an artist who believed that colour was a distraction from appreciation of form and hence 20

did not paint his sculptures (as did Hepworth), Moore's dynamic manipulation of colour in his textiles, such as shocking pink and acid green, may seem wildly out of character. Yet they do find precedent in many of his war drawings, in which sharp contrasts of colours are used to express the psychological effects of alienation and devastation, and in his compositions from the late 1930s and early1940s with solitary figures seen against imagined red or pink rock formations. But unlike the atmosphere of foreboding in those compositions, the use of colour in Moore's textiles is essentially optimistic – a looking forward to a new era. Although most of his textiles were printed after the war, many designs date from 1943, before the outcome of the conflict was a certainty.

Moore was first approached by textile guru Zika Ascher in late 1942 or early 1943. On honeymoon in Norway with his wife Lida, Asher managed to escape the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia. Arriving in England, he soon commissioned leading British artists to create designs for silk 'squares' (scarves). From 1943 Moore filled four notebooks with compositions for textile designs. These were annotated by the artist to indicate which ideas were intended for squares, furnishing fabrics or dress designs. By the late 1940s Moore was experimenting with signed limited editions of hand-printed textile panels which employed fabrics in a similar way to his graphics; they could be hung as objects of art in themselves. The designs for these were not done in a repeat

21

but as a bold single motif and were more figurative.

The printing of each colour on a separate screen was painstakingly attended to by Ascher along with his team.

Moore soon afterwards came to the attention of the firm of David Whitehead Fabrics, which, under the Directorship of architect John T. Murray, launched a range of bold, low-cost, roller-printed fabrics designed by leading artists for the 1951 Festival of Britain. Whitehead subsequently developed a more exclusive range of hand screen-printed textiles with more painterly designs, largely inspired by the 1953 exhibition 'Painting into Textiles' held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. Moore's design for 'Zigzag' (1954) was reproduced on the cover of the catalogue and went into production the following year along with 'Triangles and Lines' (1954). Moore's home, Hoglands, featured the Zigzag fabric made up as bedspreads, as well as curtains made from 'Heads' (1945–6) and from 'Treble Clef, Zigzag and Oval Safety-pins' (1946–7). Moore's vision of artist-designed textiles being a part of daily life had become a reality at least in his own domain.

Eric Gill: Sacred and Profane Simon Martin

From his early engravings of the Madonna and Child, to erotic depictions of lovers intertwined in moments of ecstasy, Eric Gill's subjects, like his life, were polarised between the flesh and the spirit. In a new exhibition produced especially for Pallant House Gallery, Simon Martin, Curator, explores an artist whose work bridged these seemingly irreconcilable contradictions of the sacred and the profane.

Eric Gill, Stay With Me Apples / Š The Estate of Eric Gill / Bridgeman Art

In his autobiography Eric Gill wrote of how, 'the plan of Chichester is clear and rational – a thing of beauty having unity, proportion and clarity.' These words, to describe the city in which the artist spent his formative years, could equally be applied to the execution of his own engravings, sculpture, calligraphy and typography, perhaps best exemplified by the forms of his iconic 'Gill Sans' typeface. Yet the artist's private life and beliefs, which were to inspire so much of his creative output, were far from being either clear or rational. Instead, as he confided to his diary, his life was beset with seemingly irreconcilable contradictions between his fervent Roman Catholicism and his unconventional sexual practices.

Eric Gill (1882-1940) first arrived in Chichester in the summer of 1897 at the age of fifteen, when his father began studying at the Theological College. He waxed lyrical about the city in his autobiography, claiming that here he, 'began a new life, a miraculous life, a life as it were in fairyland.' For Gill it was 'the human city, the city of God, the place where life and work and things were all in harmony.' The teenage Gill drew the religious and vernacular architecture of the city and attended the Technical & Art School, where the art master Herbert Catt taught him that 'letters were something special in themselves', preparing him for the powerful influence of the calligrapher Edward Johnston a few years later. With a side-sweep at the grandeur of Pallant House ('the one ascribed to 25

C. Wren at the corner'), Gill praised its neighbours in East Pallant, saying that there is 'nothing more perfect in England than the five or six houses on the south side of the street.' Yet anyone who has spent much time in a cathedral city may suspect that, just like Trollope's Barchester Towers, the prim facades of such dwellings can cover both religious observance and deviancy. Walking west from the Market Cross at the centre of Chichester's Roman grid (a map of which Gill reproduced in his autobiography) one passes the soaring Norman Cathedral, which houses two of the artist's early carved inscriptions, to arrive at the slightly less grand Westgate Roundabout. Here, a blue plaque marks the site of the modest dwelling (now demolished) at 2 North Walls where Gill lived as an adolescent and as his biographer Fiona MacCarthy has suggested, probably began an incestuous relationship with at least one of his sisters. On the other side of the aforementioned roundabout is the West Sussex Record Office, which houses an important collection of Gill's prints, drawings, sculptures and writings that was started by Mary Gill, the artist's widow, and Walter Shewring, his literary executor.

The engravings in the Record Office collection provide a remarkable overview of the artist's output, from his early engravings of the sacred and tender subject of the Madonna and Child, to erotic depictions of lovers intertwined in moments of ecstasy. In Gill's eyes sex and religion were inseparable, and although the subject matter may seem widely divergent, his treatment is the same: a precise and elegantly stylised clarity of approach. Gill's depictions of human figures can seem somewhat impersonal as he felt that models for wood engravings were unnecessary and asserted that his 'inability to draw naturalistically was, instead of a drawback, no less than my salvation. It compelled… me to concentrate upon something other than the superficial delights of the fleshly appearance… to consider the significance of things.' Indeed, he wrote that when he began wood-engraving it was 'for the sake of lettering', and the diaries of his mentor the calligrapher Edward Johnston record that they sat down together on the same evening in 1906 and first tried their hand at wood-engraving. Gill's engravings combine the elegant hand of the calligrapher with the pared-down approach of the stone-carver, and his beautifully carved woodblocks, which were used to print his engravings, have sometimes been exhibited as sculptures in their own right.

26

Often Gill's prints were what might be classed as ephemera, but the subjects and patrons are no less fascinating: a 1908 Christmas card for Roger Fry featuring a nativity scene, ex libris bookplates for bibliophiles, ordination cards for the Reverend Desmond Chute, and pamphlets advertising his idiosyncratic views on everything from birth control to the wearing of trousers. His work for the St Dominic's Press in Ditchling before 1924, and later Robert Gibbing's Golden Cockerel Press, and from 1928 the Pigotts Press, was equally extensive and varied. His illustrations for 'The Song of Songs' (Golden Cockerel Press, 1925) such as the provocative 'Dancer' and 'Stay me with Apples' perhaps, more than anything else, allowed Gill to combine both religious and erotic elements with a liberated confidence as they were based on Biblical text, but nevertheless caused great offence amongst his Catholic colleagues. Yet it is images such as his iconic 1922 engraving 'Girl in the Bath' depicting his daughter Petra that have latterly caused so much consternation in the light of revelations about Gill's incestuous relationships, even leading to calls for his great 'Stations of the Cross' in Westminster Cathedral to be removed. As viewers this information may be troubling and difficult to reconcile with Christian ideals, but as Fiona MacCarthy has observed, "after the initial shock, as Gill's history of adulteries, incest, and experimental connection with his dog became public knowledge in the late 1980s, the consequent reassessment of his life and art left his artistic reputation strengthened. Gill emerged as one of the twentieth century's strangest and most original controversialists, a sometimes infuriating, always arresting spokesman for man's continuing need of God in an increasingly materialistic civilization, and for intellectual vigour in an age of encroaching triviality."

The Ice Woman Cometh Emma Stibbon

This winter, the Garden Gallery will be hung with a new series of alpine landscape woodcuts by the Bristol-based artist, Emma Stibbon. Here she explains in her own words, some of the techniques and ideas behind her works and the mysterious allure of glacial landscapes.

'In 2007/08 I set out on an extensive trip to the Alps to look at what remains of Summer Alpine glaciers.

The awesome spectacle of glacial features inspired me to want to look further at the impact of ice on the landscape. My interest was also provoked by reading new glacier monitoring research that showed by 2050 about 75 per cent of the glaciers in the Swiss Alps are likely to have disappeared - what we now see as white peaks now may soon be a much darker horizon.

I am interested in glaciers both as dynamic features and as places of psychological imagining. There is something mysterious about such a large gleaming mass on the move. I made the 'Firn' edition of woodcuts as part of a larger body of work looking at glaciated landscapes. Firn is the glaciological term for old snow, which has survived one summer melt season, but is not yet glacial ice. The series of four images show various sites that I visited including two hanging glaciers. I often make my work in response to places that are in some kind of flux or change. A recurring interest in my work is in the forces of nature; how it can geologically change or glacially erode landscape.

Emma Stibbon, Firn 1, © The Artist

I have been working in woodcut for some time now, usually on a much larger scale than the 'Firn' edition.

I am attracted to the distinct graphic immediacy of the process; cutting light out of a dark plane lends a tonal drama to the printed image. I enjoy the physicality of chiseling wood, which perhaps equates with the erosion of rock. I also enjoy wood as a material; the grain direction can determine the type of mark you cut and gives a texture to the image.

I made the edition of woodcuts 'Firn' in response to an invitation from Xylon, an international relief printmaking group based in Switzerland. Xylon was founded in 1953, and previous editions include artists such as Michael Rothenstein. The suite of prints 'Firn' are from the artists' epreuve, mounted as a portfolio in an edition of 50. I cut the blocks and supplied printed proofs (BATs) for the edition, which was printed in Switzerland by letterpress'.

You can see more of Stibbon's work in her solo show 'StadtLandschaften' at the University of Brighton Gallery from 9–31 January 2010.

Working together Artists First Steve Canby, Brenda Carr, Carol Chilcott, Joan Clews, Brenda Cook, Brian Davis, Tom Hodson, Kevin Hogan, Tina Kelly, Liz Lane, Jacky Long, Sarah McGeevy, Claude Rimmer, Nicholas Selway, Kathy Stewart, Peter Sutton

Ahead of their exhibition in the Studio this December, the artist collective Artists First describe how together, they are much more than the sum of their parts.

'We are a group of sixteen artists based in Bristol. We are disabled visual artists with learning difficulties. Some of us have been together for a long time, since 1988 and Artists First has gone through many changes. We have learned a lot and we feel very strong and important as a group.

Our job is to come together with our art, support each other and move it on. We want to exhibit and sell our work, to show we are strong and share our art with other people. We work to get our art noticed so people can see what we have done and see us as experienced artists: artists first. We want to be valued and respected as artists. We want to reach as many people as possible with our art.

Having the chance to make art is a wonderful thing, it is what we want to achieve in our lives, it is the job we want to do and Artists First is how we will do it. There are lots of reasons why it is important for us to have exhibitions. It is important because we can share our art with people. It is important to show them how hard we work and how we work together. We come together with our art. We are serious about our art. Art brings people together; it links people up. We also want to sell our work because then we know how much someone likes our art, if they hang it on their wall at home.

Having people come to see our art makes it bigger and more important and it can make things happen. When people start coming together and linking with us, we are like a big company of people that is open to anyone and everyone. It makes our art all the stronger; we become a wider range of people coming together through art.

It makes art more accessible and exciting, it opens more and more doors, lets more and more people in; that’s what art does.

We have so many years of experience. We have lost people and we have gained people. All the experience we have makes us know what art can do, that it never stops and it will keep growing for the next generation.

We also know that people learn through art. Art is very powerful in this way, it is all about moving on. We believe that art can make a difference to people’s lives, we have proved it.

We would like to say to people, come and see our work, come and meet us. Let us know what you think, whether you like our work, or not. We hope our art will make you think differently, we hope our art will talk to you in many different ways'.

DEAR FRIENDS It is now a few months since we launched the Free by 2012 Appeal. Our target for this is £4million. When we are certain that the gallery is financially secure for future years we can consider free entry for everyone to the permanent exhibitions. To reach this goal in today's financial climate is a mammoth challenge and the support of the Friends of the Gallery will be of vital importance to us in this endeavour.

The Friends' annual Christmas Party will take place on 5th January to celebrate Twelfth Night. The number of Christmas events being organised is so busy for everyone that we thought we would change it to after Christmas in the hope that more of you will be able to come. This will be a cocktails and canapés party in the Galleria. Please book your place early to avoid disappointment.

I am sure you know about the Art Raffle with original artworks generously given by the likes of Antony Gormley, Peter Blake and Lord Snowdon amongst the prizes. We need to sell as many tickets as possible before the raffle is drawn on 3 December. There is a book included with this magazine so if you have not bought any yet, do think about it and perhaps sell some to your friends.

A new benefit for the Friends is the Friends' Private View which is being held on the first Sunday after the opening of the Henry Moore exhibition on Sunday 15th November at 11am. There is no need to book in advance but do come early as the Gallery must be open to the public at 12.30pm as usual. De'Longhi will be serving free coffee.

Once more, I want to thank you for all your support.

Should you have any ideas for fundraising or you might be prepared to organise an event in aid of the Appeal, please contact Gillian Thompson in the Friends' Office.

Jake Auerbach Film Season A season of engaging films by Jake Auerbach providing a revealing insight into the lives of leading British artists including RB Kitaj, Paula Rego and Walter Sickert.

'Kitaj: In the Picture' (1994, 40 mins) Thurs 19 Nov, 6pm A remarkably candid look at the life and work of Kitaj from his early days growing up in New York, to working as a merchant seaman, before moving to England where he placed himself at the centre of 'The School of London' with friends David Hockney, Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff and Lucian Freud. £8 (students £4) includes a glass of wine and admission.

Sickert's London (1992, 48 minutes) Thurs 10 Dec, 6pm Once Britain's most famous artist Sickert drifted into obscurity after his death - ironically rejected for the same inventive spirit that had first made his name. With contributions from artists Howard Hodgkin and Frank Auerbach, and readings by Alan Bennet, Auerbach's film is an extremely good introduction to the methods and haunts of 'one of the undiscovered heroes of modern art.' £7.50 (students £5.75, Friends £3.75) includes admission.

Paula Rego: Telling Tales (2009, 47 minutes) Thurs 21 Jan, 6pm Born in Portugal, Paula Rego is one of Britain's leading artists. This intimate film follows the artist from her retrospective at the Reina Sofia in Madrid back to the privacy of her studio in London while she talks with humour and candour about her compulsion to produce works that, though accessible, deal with the most private themes. £7.50 (students £5.75, Friends £3.75) includes admission.

Frank Auerbach: To the Studio (2002, 54 minutes) Thurs 25 Feb, 6pm A rare glimpse into the notoriously secret world of Frank Auerbach.

The reclusive painter rarely leaves his studio: his main links with the outside world are the models who have sat for him over the last forty years. The film follows Auerbach sketching in the National Gallery and around Camden town, talking about his sitters, his routine, his compulsions, strange rituals, his ambitions and his heroes. £7.50 (students £5.75, Friends £3.75) includes admission.

A healthy diet is a crucial part of pregnancy and can help to prevent birth defects. Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid every day for a month before conception and throughout early pregnancy. Folic acid has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects of the brain and spinal cord (such as spina bifida) in unborn children, and could help reduce the risk of cleft lip and palate.

Artwork of the Month Jock Johnston

The new exhibition 'The Search for the Real' will explore the artistic treatment of the human figure from Sickert to Auerbach, including artists such as David Bomberg, William Coldstream, John Minton, Matthew Smith and Paula Rego.

Arguably one of the most important British figurative artists, Rego was born in Portugal in 1935. A new museum dedicated to her life and work called simply the 'House of Stories' was opened in September in Cascais, the seaside village near Lisbon where she was born. It is an apt title for a gallery celebrating the most powerful narrative painter of her generation, who was married to the British artist Victor Willing.

Drawing on the rich imagery of Classical mythology, European folk-fairy tales, Roman Catholicism and her own turbulent past, Rego fills her work with characters and incidents as vivid and as potently complex as any to be found in a nineteenth-century novel. It is little wonder that she could, and did, turn her hand to producing the suite of 25 extraordinary lithographs in illustration, or rather in enactment, of 56

the dramatic incidents in Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre'.

Through the Golder-Thompson Gift, Pallant House Gallery now has one of these lithographs, which were printed by the Curwen Studios: 'Crumpled' presents the moment when Jane is imprisoned in the red room – prostrate but unbowed. In Jane's words: "Mrs Abbot, impatient of my now frantic anguish and wild sobs, abruptly thrust me back and locked me in; without farther parley. I heard her sweeping away and soon after she was gone. I suppose I had a species of fit: unconsciousness closed the scene."
