'William Coldstream and the Art of Measuring'
Please join us this Saturday 17 December 2016 for a talk by independent art historian Kate Aspinall, on the occasion of our exhibition, William Coldstream | Euan Uglow: Daisies and Nudes.
William Coldstream is known for his particular method of working – measuring precise relationships using a pencil held at arm’s length. Described by many as “objective”, both the method and the works are reconsidered in this talk, in which Aspinall examines the various strands of objectivity and subjectivity in Coldstream’s practice, finding the raw emotion at the heart of his paintings.
Kate Aspinall is an independent historian, writer, and artist. Based in London, her research looks to the role of drawing in early 20th century British visual culture with a particular emphasis on the intersections between institutional and personal discipline. She is currently working on a monograph, The Paradox of Medium Specificity: Drawing Practice and Twentieth Century Modernism in Britain, and most recently she wrote an article on the role of the drawn mark within Herbert Read’s critical agenda for a special issue of Visual Resources (February 2016). She consults for the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation and serves as Chairwoman of the AAH Freelance and Independents.
