Tate St Ives

A short film looking at the influence Porthmeor studios has had on the town of St Ives, with reference to the artists that have worked there and are exhibited at the Tate.
Sara Hughes, the Curator of Tate St Ives, guides us through the historical relationship the gallery has had with the studios. She discusses the residency they run there at studio number 5 (formerly home to Patrick Heron and Ben Nicholson amongst others).
Luke Frost, grandson of modernist Sir Terry Frost also contributes with his finding of the studio space as the current resident artist.
Work from Patrick Heron, Ben Nicholson, Sir Terry Frost, Naum Gabo, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and Peter Lanyon are shown in this piece.
Thanks to the individual Estates for their permission and to DACS for their support.

[@celestialteapot3310]

If l wanted paintings like these, why would l not paint my own, seriously?

[@itsjudystube7439]

Celestial Teapot Well why don’t you then? See whether it is as straightforward as you seem to think? You can’t be dismissive if you have never tried, unless of course you have tried.

[@paulaclare9678]

Try it. Good luck.

I stopped viewing at 3:35. Indoor, outdoor photography out of focus. Not even the works nor the label data are in focus. How can Tate St. Ives have such contempt for its art and artists that it displays at a mere 480p. Surely ART of all topics deserves, and needs, the highest resolution available.

[@Shoshana-xh6hc]

Annoying and slapdash. And as for the inarticulate person who was making stuff in the studio, seriously? But this is the nonsense you get in the artworld.
