Wilhelmina Barns-Graham is known as a painter of abstract work and part of the Modernist group of artists in St. Ives. Throughout her life she practiced the discipline of drawing which she used to inform her paintings and to explore different ideas. These drawings are important works in their own right and in this lecture art historian Catherine Wallace highlights some of the main themes that reflect Barns- Graham’s journey through life.
From her figure studies at Art School in Edinburgh in the 1930s, her drawings of the camouflage factory where she worked in St. Ives during World War II; her constructivist drawings of glaciers in Switzerland in the late 1940s; her landscapes of Italy in the mid 50s ; the line drawings and rhythmic patterns she made back in St. Ives in the 1970s; the accurate line drawings of buildings in St. Ives and Stromness, Orkney in the 1980s to some of her most dynamic drawings of volcanic rock on the island of Lanzarote in the 1990s.
Barns-Graham always experimented with different medium to use in her art and that included her drawings, this lecture looks at the wide variety of techniques and medium she used so effectively in her graphic works.
