OUT OF TOWN: ART Century 100 Modern British Artists 'The Blue Towel' by Euan Uglow © The Estate of the Artist. Courtesy Jerwood Collection Century: 100 Modern British Artists is the last exhibition this year at the Jerwood Gallery in Hastings, and runs until 8th January. Originally announced as Century: 100 Works of Modern British Art from the Ingram and Jerwood Collections, the show now comprises no fewer than 150 works by the 100 artists in question, and fills all but one of the gallery’s exhibition spaces. No out-and-out masterpieces, perhaps, but the overall quality of the exhibits is, nonetheless, gratifyingly high. The exhibition is arranged thematically, but the themes are rather arbitrary and imprecise, so it’s probably best to engage with each work of art on its own terms. The curator, James Russell, has expressed the hope that the layout ensures ‘that boundaries between different periods and movements are broken down, exposing intriguing relationships and surprising similarities’. Some of these ‘relationships’ are uncomplicatedly literal. But while it’s of course nice that Mary Fedden gets to hang alongside her husband, Julian Trevelyan, it must be disappointing to Dod Procter and Ernest Procter to find themselves separated on different floors. Paul Nash and John Nash are juxtaposed, but I’m not sure that the two pictures chosen illustrate the exhibition’s (undoubtedly true) thesis that the brothers developed along markedly different lines, particularly well. I found myself becoming unclear in some cases whether a connection was intended or not. A work by Nevinson is positioned next to a 1938 watercolour by Eric Ravilious, entitled Rye Harbour, to show how both artists used a far-off vanishing point to draw the eye into the picture. But is Near Whitby, Yorkshire, a magnificent late landscape by Edward Burra, hanging nearby because the same artistic device is being employed? Or because Burra lived all his life in Rye? Or for neither reason? Is it significant that Ruskin Spear’s charming The Curious Cat, which includes a copy of the London Evening Standard (Headline: Patten’s threat to second homes), is across the room from John Piper’s Beach and Star Fish, Seven Sisters Cliff, Eastbourne, the collage elements of which are supplied by the rather more highbrow reading material of the New Statesman or The Listener? Are, as one of the gallery attendants said in my hearing, the hands of Maggi Hamblings’ elderly neighbour, Frances Rose, ‘twisted by arthritis and decades of work’, meant to provide a contrast to the porcelain hands of Dod Procter’s Lillian, which hangs next door? Opposite the Maggi Hambling portrait is a Sickert painting of the Church of Saint Rémy in Dieppe. One of the products advertised on the kiosk in front of the church is the French soup cube marketed as ‘Maggi’. When I remembered that Hambling had been rechristened Maggi by her mentor Lett Haines after the soup cube in question, I knew that my mind was becoming addled. I went in search of fish and chips, mindful of the Jeeves and Wooster adage: ‘fish makes brain’. But enough frivolity. Century is a splendid show, supplemented by a single room devoted to Stanley Spencer. The latter, carefully selected, display is the sort of thing that Jerwood, with the minimum of fanfare, does so admirably. David Jarman 57
