Description
John Cecil Stephenson (1889-1965) A Modernist in Hampstead explores the life and art of John Cecil Stephenson, a painter who underwent a remarkable transformation in his artistic style. Following conventional training, Stephenson became a competent teacher before joining a group of avant-garde artists in the 1930s. This book delves into the circumstances that led to Stephenson's development of an abstract style, as described by art critic Herbert Read. It also examines his connection to other notable artists of the time, including Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. By the end of 1965, Stephenson had lived in London for nearly five decades, establishing himself as a key figure in British modernist art. With its focus on Stephenson's life and artistic evolution, this book provides insight into the development of modernist art in Britain during the early 20th century.
