The Centre Staff 2015–2016

Director of Studies

Mark

Hallett

This year saw the publication of Court, Country, City: Essays on British Art and Architecture 1660–1735, co-edited by Professor Hallett and published by Yale University Press as part of the YCBA’s Studies in British Art series. The book was the culmination of a major research project developed in collaboration with his two editors, Martin Myrone and Nigel Llewellyn, both of Tate Britain, and which generated a host of conferences, gallery displays and online publications.

Professor Hallett enjoyed a second year as Visiting Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Art, where he again co-taught the MA course Made in Britain: Forging a Visual Art for a Nation at War, 1790–1815 with Professor David Solkin.

The Director of Studies gave a lecture entitled ‘The Nomadic Eye: Travelling through Thomas Gainsborough’s Landscapes’ at the Morgan Library, the Courtauld Institute of Art and the University of York. He also helped organise the international conference ‘Portraiture as Interaction: the Spaces and Interfaces of British Art’, held at the Huntington Library in December 2015, and to which he gave the opening address.

Professor Hallett was invited to co-curate a major exhibition on the contemporary British artist George Shaw, which will take place at the Yale Center of British Art in the autumn of 2018.

Deputy Director of Studies

Martin Postle

In summer and autumn of 2015 Dr Postle continued in his role as manager of the expansion project at the Paul Mellon Centre, whereby the Centre’s premises at number 16 Bedford Square were linked to the adjacent building at number 15, providing enhanced space for the Centre’s Collections and Archives. With Lyndsey Gherardi he supervised the completion of works and the move of staff from temporary offices at 12 Bedford Square into the newly refurbished premises.

In May 2016 Dr Postle travelled to Yale University to attend a series of events celebrating the reopening of the Yale Center for British Art. Over the course of the year Dr Postle continued to be involved in the initiation and planning of future courses for Yale undergraduate students at the Paul Mellon Centre. In Spring 2016 he taught the course entitled ‘British Art and Landscape’, which involved visits to Stourhead, Dedham Vale and a three-day field trip to Wales. He co-taught with Professor Mark Hallett the inaugural Public Lecture Course in the autumn of 2015, Satire to Spectacle: British Art in the Eighteenth Century, offering lectures on Thomas Gainsborough, Richard Wilson, Joshua Reynolds and William Blake. Dr Postle continued to sit on the Centre’s Publications Committee and to attend the Advisory Council of the Paul Mellon Centre, and liaised closely with Mary Peskett Smith on the Grants and Fellowships Programme. He also worked closely with Collections staff on the new Drawing Room Displays at the Centre. With Dr Sarah Victoria Turner, Dr Kate Retford and Dr Susanna Avery-Quash, Dr Postle coorganized the conference ‘Animating the London Georgian Town House’, which took place on 17–18 March 2016.

Dr Postle continued to make visits to regional museums in the UK, to discuss with museum directors and curators the role of the Paul Mellon Centre in promoting British art studies in museums, and to discover on a first-hand basis their future plans and aspirations for collections, exhibitions and displays. His visits included Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery, the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol, and Pallant House, Chichester.

Dr Postle pursued actively pursued his research interests, including the preparation of an essay on the cast collection of the Royal Academy for a forthcoming volume on the Academy’s collections, and a research paper on the fancy picture, which was presented at an international symposium, ‘Figures de Fantaisie’ held in Toulouse in November 2015, to coincide with the exhibition held at the Musée des Augustins. He also published an essay entitled ‘La tête de vieillard dans l’art Europeen: sacrée et profane’ in the book that accompanied the exhibition. In January 2016 Dr Postle participated in the study morning at the Jean-Étienne Liotard exhibition at the Royal Academy, organized by the Paul Mellon Centre and the Royal Academy. He gave a short presentation on Liotard’s portraits of David Garrick and his wife, Eva Marie Veigel. He also undertook preliminary research and conducted a workshop on the Centre’s new research project, ‘Art in the British Country House: Collecting and Display’, together with the Centre’s Brian Allen Fellow, Dr Jessica Feather, who was appointed in October 2015. Dr Postle also made preliminary investigations at a number of country houses, including Trewithen and Port Eliot, Cornwall, Doddington Hall, Lincolnshire, and Castle Howard, Yorkshire.

Dr Postle continued to serve on the following committees and boards:

Editorial Board, British Art Studies

Expert Advisor, Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art

International Advisory Board, The British Art Journal

Governor of Dr Johnson’s House

Trustee of the Compton Verney Collection Settlement

Board Member of ‘Aspire’ (touring exhibition project for Constable’s Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows)

Deputy Director for Research

Sarah Victoria Turner

In addition to Dr Turner’s duties as the Deputy Director for Research at the Paul Mellon Centre and as Co-Editor of British Art Studies, she participated in numerous events outside of the Paul Mellon Centre as an active researcher in the field of British art. These included being invited to be one of two respondents at an international colloquium on ‘Bertel Thorvaldsen and Britain’ held at the Accademia di Danimarca and British School at Rome in January 2016. She also participated as a respondent at the ‘Revisiting Picturing Blackness’ conference at Tate Britain, TRAIN and Chelsea School of Art in April 2016.

Dr Turner continues to work with Professor Hallett on the research for a major exhibition in 2018 marking 250 years of the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibitions.

In 2016, Dr Turner was appointed Senior Visiting Lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art. She will teach an MA module ‘Making the Modern: Art and Visual Culture in Britain, c.1890–1970’ in the 2016/2017 academic year. She also served on the Courtauld Association Advisory Board. Dr Turner is a founder member of the Arts Council England’s British Art Network Steering Committee and continues to serve on its committee.

In the period covered by the report, Dr Turner published two articles:

‘The Poetics of Permanence: Inscriptions, Poetry and Memorials of the First World War’, Sculpture Journal, 24:1 (2015), DOI: 10.3828/sj.2015.24.1.6

‘“Reuniting What Never Should Have Been Separated”: The Arts and Crafts Movements, Modernism and Sculpture in Britain 1890–1914’, in Martina Droth and Peter Trippi (eds), Change/Continuity: Writing about Art in Britain Before and After 1900, Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide, 14: 2 (Summer 2015)

She also completed and submitted the manuscripts for two co-edited books that will be published in 2017:

“What is to become of the Crystal Palace?”: The Crystal Palace after 1851, co-edited with Kate Nichols (Manchester: Manchester University Press, currently in press)

Enchanted Modernities: Theosophy, the Arts and the American West, co-edited with James Mansell and Christopher Scheer (Lopen: Fulgur, currently in press)

Postdoctoral Fellow

Hana Leaper

Hana Leaper gained her PhD in July 2014 from the University of Liverpool. She joined the Centre in November 2014 from the Charleston Trust where she was a curatorial fellow working on cataloguing, curating and conserving the Angelica Garnett Gift. Dr Leaper has also lectured in English literature and art history at the University of Liverpool and on the art and design course at the University of Wolverhampton. She continues to lecture and has delivered classes on both our Yale in London programme and the Courtauld Making the Modern MA.

Since joining the PMC team, Dr Leaper has worked on the formation and launch of British Art Studies, our new online journal, first published in November 2015.

Dr Leaper regularly writes online content and as well as co-founding the ongoing Charleston Attic blog and contributing frequently to the Paul Mellon Centre News page, she has written a number of Tate Summary texts on twentieth-century art. With the support of the Centre, she co-founded an Early Career Research Network for postdoctoral researchers working in the field of British art history. Together with Sophie Hatchwell of the University of Bristol she has developed the ECR blog and organises regular events to facilitate networking and advancing key skills.

Dr Leaper has lectured and published extensively on British modernist art, particularly on Vanessa Bell and the Bloomsbury group, and on Sybil Andrews and the Grosvenor School linocut artists.

Rod Rosenquist and Alice Wood (Edinburgh University Press, 2016); and Sybil Andrews Linocuts: A Complete Catalogue (Lund Humphries, 2015).

Allen Fellow

Jessica Feather

Jessica Feather gained her AHRC-funded PhD from the University of Reading in March 2015, with a thesis entitled ‘A modern taste in watercolour: critics, collectors and curators, c.1890–1912’. Prior to returning to academia, Dr Feather was Curator of Works on Paper at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (2001–9), where she was the main author and editor of the catalogue raisoneé British Drawings and Watercolours: Lord Leverhulme’s Collection in the Lady Lever Art Gallery (Liverpool University Press, 2010).

Dr Feather began her appointment as Brian Allen Postdoctoral Fellow in October 2015, where she works on two PMC-generated flagship research projects. The first, led by Mark Hallett and Sarah Victoria Turner, explores the history of the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, in preparation for a major exhibition to be held at the Royal Academy in 2018, as well as an online publication. In this capacity, Dr Feather is acting both as research assistant for the exhibition and co-editor for the online project.

The second project, led by Martin Postle, explores the formation and nature of collecting, and strategies of display relating to art in the British Country House from the sixteenth century to the present day. Focused around a number of case-studies of individual houses, Dr Feather has assisted on all aspects relating to the conception and development of this project, which will result in an online publication, planned for 2019.

In addition to her work on PMC projects, Dr Feather pursued her own research and scholarly interests. She continued to work with Dr Kim Sloan on curating the exhibition Places of the Mind: British Landscape Drawings and Watercolours 1850–1950, which will open at the British Museum in February 2017 and for which she has written a chapter in the accompanying book. She also contributed an interview with the documentary-photographer Neil Libbert to the book Unseen: Photography by Wolf Suschitzky, Dorothy Bohm and Neil Libbert, which accompanied an exhibition at the Ben Uri Art Gallery in the Summer of 2015. She was invited to act as a respondent at the Francis Towne Scholars Morning (June 2015).
