Tuesday 16th October 2007 The Art Department, St John’s School, Epsom Road, Leatherhead, Surrey KT22 8SP from 6.00 - 8.00 p.m Something Old and Something New The Great Atlantic Galleries in conjunction with St John’s School, Leatherhead, presented an exhibition of printed works by 20th century masters Marc Chagall (1887 - 1995), Eric Gill (1880 - 1942), David Hockney (1937 - ) and Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) with contemporary works by Jenny Grevatte, Catherine Harvey Jefferson*, Mark Spray and Lucy Toop. *Catherine Harvey Jefferson conducted a master class with St John’s sixth form students during the morning of 17th October. 20th Century masters We are fortunate that many of the giants of the 20th century art world were prolific print makers in their time, so whereas their original paintings are beyond the reach of most people, their printed works are very much more accessible. Marc Chagall, born in Russia but with France as his adopted country, has been described as one of the greatest religious painters of all time. The works on show at St John’s are lithographs from his 1956 and 1960 Bible Illustrations. Eric Gill, a controversial character sure enough, was a supremely talented sculptor, typographer and wood engraver whose exquisite prints bring lasting pleasure. Those on show come from his Cleverdon and Faber book editions from 1929 and 1935. David Hockney, born in 1937, still strides the art world as one of the most talented artists of his generation. Work from two early suites in the 1960’s are shown here - illustrations from “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” and “The Blue Guitar”. Henri Matisse was a French artist, noted for his use of colour and his fluid, brilliant and original draughtsmanship. As a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but principally as a painter, Matisse is one of the best-known artists of the twentieth century.

She had her first exhibition in London’s Cork Street at an early age back in 1980 and has been an active exhibitor ever since. Her colourful oil and mixed media paintings of harbours, coves and more subtle aspects of the countryside hold much more than meets the eye as close inspection will reveal! Catherine Harvey Jefferson comes from a long line of Cornish artists and is now living back in the county following a lengthy sojourn in the Home Counties. Her loose, abstract oils and brooding etchings have a growing following and, like each of the other contemporary paintings showing at this venue, is “one to watch”. Mark Spray’s serious and compelling insights into the more profound aspects of the Cornish landscape around him represents the more serious face of modern painting at the moment. Watch out for more striking work from this Land’s End based artist. Lucy Toop is a young and energetic newcomer to the contemporary scene in Cornish art. Over the past year, Lucy has sold every painting that she painted and from a quiet but focused launch platform, can look forward to a long and upwardly evolving career.
