Elisabeth Vellacott: Figures in the Landscape
Wed 2 November 2016 - Sun 15 January 2017
Murray Edwards College
Murray Edwards College is the home of New Hall Art Collection, a significant collection of contemporary art by women artists. This display draws together rarely seen drawings and paintings by Vellacott from Kettle’s Yard’s Collection and loans from the Arts Council Collection. The exhibition is the first to focus on Vellacott’s imaginative portrayal of the figure in her landscapes.
Kettle’s Yard’s Collection includes twenty-six works on paper by Elisabeth Vellacott. Vellacott was a founder member of the Cambridge Society of Painters and Sculptors in 1954. She met Jim Ede, the creator of Kettle’s Yard in the late 1950s and, soon after, he began to acquire her work. Vellacott exhibited her delicately executed drawings and paintings regularly in London during her lifetime. Two retrospective exhibitions were held at Kettle’s Yard in 1981 and 1995.
A newly commissioned text by William Simmons, a PhD candidate at The City University of New York, will accompany the display.
