Thank-you to every one that attended my talk on Tuesday, and for all the questions. It's interesting that although I stood up and talked for sometime in the lecture theatre It often takes me some time and courage to ask questions. If you do want anything clarified please feel free to ask me, either here in the comments section or by email. All feedback is also useful, it was the first time I had used media clips in a presentation. I hope they added some clarity to the talk, what do you think? I would be delighted to know.I have attempted to give references to all the artists and information covered but again if you can't find the information you need in 'Painting matters' let me know.

Sunday 12 September: Went to the Whitechapel to see This is Tomorrow. It is more of interest as a research exercise, with the most visual components supplied by the original framed exhibition posters. Fascinating is a display case of American magazines that were the source material for Richard Hamilton’s iconic collage Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing? (1956)
ReplyDeleteThe documentary Fathers of Pop (1979) is available for viewing in the gallery & the library has copies of all the press cuttings. Of particular interest is a review by The Lady that comments on the use of public money for such an exhibition.
The link in the next post is to the Whitechapels website: for further reading on the work of the independent group I would recommend.
The Independent Group: Modernism and Mass Culture, 1945-59, by Anne Massey, Manchester University Press, Manchester, 1995. Anne has produced a dedicated website to the work of the group. http://www.independentgroup.org.uk/contributors/index.html
