Barnsley Market
Barnsley artist Kenneth Graham is well known for his pen and ink drawings of Barnsley town centre public houses. There are fifteen of the forty six here in the Cooper Gallery collection.
Drawing
(c) Jonathan Clark Fine Art – Estate of the Artist Kenneth Armitage is an artist from Leeds who is renowned for his bronze sculptures of the human form.
Enclosed Landscape
This painting titled 'Enclosed Landscape' is typical of Clough's later work where figures and buildings disappear and the landscape becomes her main subject. She is drawn to geometric shapes in the landscape. The colours here are warm and muted.
Porthleven, 1950
This study of Porthleven in Cornwall was gifted to the Cooper Gallery in 2000 through the bequest of Charles Sutherland.
Portrait of Mrs Tyas
The painting is of Mrs Mary Tyas, the widowed mother of Barnsley solicitor John Tyas. Mrs Tyas died on 1 April 1850, so the portrait must have been painted whilst Hold was living in Barnsley town centre. It shows an elderly, welldressed lady looking seriously out of the painting.
Reclining Nude
The figure almost fills the picture; it is balanced half in light and half in shade. Richards defines the features of the figure by bold, confident brush strokes. The angular, geometrical shapes show the influence of Picasso.
St Mary's Church, Barnsley
This image shows St Marys Church in Barnsley, looking from Eastgate in 1932. This is typical of Graham’s style of drawing. In the foreground he places a man with a hose; it is atmospheric with the wind rushing through the centrally placed tree and the smoke coming from the chimney of the small house in front of the church.
The Beggar Girls
The painting is of two young women wearing richly coloured clothes. The painting has a still, silent and melancholy atmosphere. The tambourine is quiet. The women are begging, but at other times do they dance to the tambourine to earn money? The composition and treatment of the subjects is reminiscent of the Renaissance.
