SUMMARY:Art and Beauty: The Life and Work of William Morris (2nd lecture in the series)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 23 and 3o June 2017 \nExplore the work of the artist\, designer\, conservationist\, and socialist William Morris\, whose ideas laid the foundations for the Arts & Crafts Movement and revolutionised the appearance of Victorian crafts and the home. \nA man of prodigious talents and energy\, Morris urged his contemporaries to “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful\, or believe to be beautiful”. His insistence on artistry\, craftsmanship and quality helped revolutionise the late-Victorian interior and left a legacy that is still significant today. This course explores his art and ideas. It includes a discussion of Morris’s genius as a designer of flat pattern in textiles and wallpapers\, and his collaboration with Philip Webb\, Dante Gabriel Rossetti\, Edward Burne-Jones and other artists associated with Morris & Co. It also reviews the development of Morris’s ideas about craft and society and the evolution of his political beliefs. And the course describes his role in the creation of the Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts phenomenon. \n Lecturer: Jo Banham\, curator of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement\, Juan March Fundacion\, Madrid\, 2017 \nCoffee & Pastries included\n£30 for the two lectures\nTo book: call 01787 372958\nor mail@gainsborough.org

SUMMARY:New Acquisitions: Lady Helena Rawdon’s Three Pastels
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition in our Lift Gallery\, displays a group of three pastel drawings and can be attributed with some certainty to the talented draughtswoman Lady Helena Rawdon\, née Perceval (1717–46). They were originally presented en suite with a rare image of a female pastellist at work\, possibly depicting Lady Helena herself. Accompanying the portrait of A Sybil\, this display includes copies of the Four Seasons made by Lady Helena after the Venetian Rococo painter Rosalba Giovana Carriera (1673–1757)\, entitled Winter and Summer. \n

SUMMARY:Silk: From Spitalfields to Sudbury
DESCRIPTION:The market town of Sudbury in Suffolk has a surprising history. Regarded today as Great Britain’s most important centre for silk manufacture\, Sudbury produces nearly 95 per cent of the nation’s woven silk textiles from its three working mills: Vanners Silk Weavers\, Stephen Walters & Sons and Gainsborough Silks. Dating back to the late 1700s\, Sudbury’s nascent silk industry was facilitated by the town’s former history as a wool centre\, to which many family members of the Sudbury-born artist Thomas Gainsborough\, R.A. (1727– 1788) plied their trade. \nThe exhibition Silk: From Spitalfields to Sudbury (17 June – 8 October 2017) will explore the local and national history of silk in England from the eighteenth century to the present day\, focussing on the diaspora of silk manufacture from Spitalfields in London to Sudbury in Suffolk. In the first part of the exhibition\, the formation of the English silk industry in Spitalfields in the early 1700s will be examined\, highlighting the important Huguenot silk weavers who formed the basis of this work force. Objects displayed will illustrate the processes of design and manufacture\, and include everything from silk pattern books and historic costume to paintings and drawings featuring silk fashions of the era. \nIn the second part of the exhibition\, the focus will turn to the relocation of silk manufacture from London to Suffolk over the course of the nineteenth century\, exploring the history of Sudbury’s silk mills and the textiles they produced. Objects on show from the town’s three mills\, in addition to the Sudbury manufacturer Humphries Weaving\, will illustrate the many types of silk made in Sudbury\, past and present – from furnishing textiles for historic palaces to contemporary design fabrics made for major British fashion houses. \nThis exhibition will draw together artworks and textiles from both national and local collections\, including the Victoria & Albert Museum\, Norfolk Museums Service and the Warner Textile Archive. As the childhood home of the artist Thomas Gainsborough situated at the very heart of the nation’s active silk industry\, Gainsborough’s House is ideally placed to tell this important story of silk in England: from Spitalfields to Sudbury. \nImage: A Page from the Wilson Album from Vanners Silk Mill

SUMMARY:Julian Perry: The County of Elms
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with our new permanent exhibition Constable at Gainsborough’s House we are delighted to display a solo exhibition by landscape painter Julian Perry. \nThroughout his career\, Julian has observed and recorded the changing face of the British landscape. He is inspired by and responds to environmental issues that impact the natural world. \nThis exhibition displays Julian’s most recent works\, which examine the East Anglian landscape also known as ‘Constable Country’. His complex and highly crafted studies of diseased trees and eroding cliffs depict the ever-changing face of rural Suffolk. Before the devastating effects of Dutch elm disease\, Suffolk had one of the highest number of Elm trees in the country\, and was known affectionately as the ‘County of Elms’. Superficially it may seem that this landscape has changed little since Constable’s time. However\, habitat loss\, species decline and climate changes are having a profound and ongoing impact on the environment. \nJulian explains: “As a child I witnessed the catastrophic death of twenty million English elm trees. For many years the huge dead trees stood as towering witness to what can happen if things go very wrong. For me\, trees are a visual signifier of what can be good or bad about our relationship with the natural world”. \nJulian Perry was born in Worcester 1960. He studied at Berkshire College of Art and Design and at Bristol Polytechnic\, graduating in Fine Art in 1981. He now divides his time between East London and the small Suffolk coastal village of Dunwich. \nJulian has exhibited widely thoroughout his career and has won many prizes including the Arts Council and British Council awards. In 2015 he exhibited in the prestigious Venice Biennale. His works feature in many public and private collections. \n

SUMMARY:Constable at Gainsborough’s House
DESCRIPTION:In February Gainsborough’s House will be opening a display of art works\, painting materials and family memorabilia by Suffolk-born artist John Constable (1776-1837). These have descended directly through Constable’s heirs and\, together with additional archival material from the same collection\, will remain at Gainsborough’s House on long loan. \nBorn in East Bergholt\, not far from Sudbury\, Constable was a great admirer of his Suffolk antecedent Thomas Gainsborough. Indeed\, in his early career Constable tended to see the local landscape through the latter’s eyes\, telling a friend ‘ I fancy I see Gainsborough in every hedge and hollow tree’. Examples of some of Constable’s early drawings which reveal the influence of Gainsborough’s style will be included in the exhibition\, shown alongside sketches of shipping\, studies from plaster casts and from the life model which Constable made when a student at the Royal Academy schools – even\, indeed\, some designs he made for a local Suffolk altarpiece. Complementing these will be examples of Constable’s later landscape drawings and watercolours which show his more mature style – such as a View of London from Hampstead\, c. 1830\, with its magnificently expressive sky. Another highlight in the display will be the striking oil sketch of a Moorhen Startled from its Nest which Constable later used in his large exhibition canvas The Leaping Horse\, 1825 (Royal Academy). \nIn addition to these\, the display will include some more personal items belonging to Constable and his family such as the ring he gave to Maria Bicknell on their wedding day in 1816 (which took place after an extended courtship of seven years)\, or some locks of Constable’s hair dating from the time he was a child. There will also be some family portraits\, painted by Constable himself. Other exhibited items will relate more closely to the artist’s professional life or his reputation\, such as the paint box he used in his mid to late career which still contains a number of his paintbrushes as well as glass phials of dry pigment; or the large print he published after one of his most important late paintings\, Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows\, 1831\, the latter recently acquired by Tate on behalf of the nation. \nAnne Lyles\, Art Historian

SUMMARY:Landscape and Identity: Muilman\, Crokatt and Keable
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on a ‘conversation piece’ which was painted by Gainsborough when he was still making a name for himself as a gifted landscape artist and portrait painter. It was acquired jointly by Gainsborough’s House and Tate in 1993 as a masterpiece of the early phase of his career. \nA recent research project has drawn together expertise in the fields of art history\, cultural studies\, conservation and musicology. As a result\, new light has been thrown on the mercantile world of the portrait’s sitters\, and new suggestions have been made as to why Gainsborough represented them making music in the midst of a remote rustic landscape. \nIn this talk\, Peter Moore\, Research Curator will discuss his work on the project and reveal some of the fascinating findings that resulted from it. \nTickets: £8\nTo book: call 01787 372958\nor mail@gainsborough.org

SUMMARY:C. F. Abel Concert: Polish Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event to celebrate Sonia Wronkowska’s extradinary musical discovery. The evening will begin at Gainsborough’s House with three pre-concert talks and then at The Quaker Meeting House for the first performance outside London of the recently discovered music by eighteenth century composers Abel and Lidel. \n  \nSonia Wronkowska made the discovery of at least 23 unknown viola da gamba sonatas by Carl Frederick Abel (1723-87) from the collection of Count Joachim Carl von Maltzan (1733-1817)\, now at the University of Poznań. Maltzan was Prussian ambassador in London from 1776 to 1782 and seems to have been an amateur viola da gamba player\, one of the circle of pupils and admirers of Abel that also included Thomas Gainsborough. What makes the discovery so exciting is that the new sonatas are mostly mature\, sophisticated and virtuoso works\, composed for Abel himself to play in his celebrated London concerts; those known hitherto are nearly all undemanding teaching pieces. Abel was the greatest viola da gamba player of his day\, and was a supremely elegant and accomplished composer\, to be ranked with his friends John Christian Bach and the young Mozart. \n  \nMark Caudle\, who will lead the concert\, divides his time as a viola da gamba virtuoso between East Anglia and Poland\, and has appeared at Suffolk Villages Festival many times\, most recently at this year’s Festival in Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea. \n  \nPre-concert talks 5.30pm\, Gainsborough’s House \nGainsborough and Abel \nMark Bills \nAbel and the Viola da Gamba\nPeter Holman \nAn Exciting Discovery\nSonia Wronkowska \nConcert 7pm\, The Quaker Meeting House\, Sudbury \nMark Caudle\, Viola da Gamba\nTeresa Kamińska\, Cello \n

SUMMARY:Jackson Pollock: American Master
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon lecture by Ben Street\, followed by a screening of the highly acclaimed film\, Pollock. This special event has been organised by NADFAS East Anglia Area to help raise funds for Gainsborough’s House. \nBorn in 1912 in Wyoming\, Jackson Pollock was influenced by Picasso among others\, and his style of painting developed gradually over time\, leading in the early 1940s to a completely abstract ‘all-over’ style which was given the name Abstract Exhibitionism. His individual\, and not to say controversial\, style will be the subject of the lecture at the start of the afternoon. \nLecturer Ben Street MA\, is a freelance art historian\, museum educator and writer based in London. He lectures and teaches on a wide range of different periods of art history for a variety of London institutions\, including the National Gallery\, Tate\, Dulwich Picture Gallery and the Royal Academy and has written and presented programmes on art history for BBC Radio 4. He is highly respected for his depth of knowledge\, lucidity of expression\, and his passion for modern and contemporary art which is both contagious and enlightening. \nPollock (CERT 18) 122 minutes \nDirected by and starring Academy Award nominee Ed Harris (for Best Actor) Pollock is a beautifully-crafted\, stunning drama about the legendary American painter. \nDoors open 2pm Lecture: 2.30 – 3.30pm Film: 3.45pm \nBooking Information\nNote: This event has sold out \nForms are available from the NADFAS East Anglia website: nadfaseastanglia.com\nor contact Anne Day\, T: 07879 401969 or email: annedee100@hotmail.com \nCheques made payable to NADFAS East Anglia\, please include a stamped addressed envelope for the attention of: Anne Day\, The Gate House\, Crown Place\, Woodbridge\, IP12 1BU

SUMMARY:Thomas Gainsborough: Methods of Making
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition marks the culmination of a conservation research project\, generously funded by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and carried out in partnership with the University of Cambridge’s Hamilton Kerr Institute. Focusing on a single painting from the Gainsborough’s House collection\, it sheds new light on the artist’s early painting technique and methods of working. \nThe painting in question was allocated to Gainsborough’s House in 2015 through the government’s Acceptance in Lieu scheme. Titled Wooded Landscape with Old Peasant and Donkeys outside a Barn \, it has long been recognized as a significant work from Gainsborough’s Suffolk period\, demonstrating his growing interest in the sentimental depiction of simple country folk. The identity of the principal subject is unknown\, although an additional figure study by Gainsborough appears to represent the same man. Traditionally known as ‘A Suffolk Costermonger\,’ this mysterious character was reputedly well known in the Ipswich area. \nA central part of the project has been the conservation and technical examination of the painting\, carried out by Kari Rayner. Through the removal of yellowed varnish and overpaint\, details previously obscured have been made visible. As part of her research\, Kari has also created a partial reconstruction\, revealing how Gainsborough’s canvas was prepared and how the paint was applied. The opportunity to view this reconstruction alongside the original painting affords a rare glimpse into the artist’s working methods.
