Mary Fedden: A collection of 115 works (HD)
Description: "Mary Fedden was a Modern British painter.
Born in Bristol to a family of surgeons, from childhood Fedden had wanted to become a painter. At the age of sixteen Fedden left Badminton School to study at the Slade School of Art, London, where she stayed for four years. She studied under the designer Vladimir Polunin who had previously worked with the Ballets Russes. She was employed by Sadlers Wells Theatre to create sets but decided to return to Bristol soon after. Here she taught and painted portraits, before serving in the Land Army and Women's Voluntary Service during the Second World War. She was called up in 1944 and was sent abroad to work as a driver for the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NAAFI).
Fedden settled back in London after the war, where she worked for the Arts Theatre in Great Newport Street as a stage painter whilst also producing propaganda murals. Fedden decided against a career of stage design and in 1946 was able to resume easel painting and her first solo exhibition followed the next year at the Mansard Gallery in Heal's Department Store, where several of her still life flower paintings were displayed. 'Woman' magazine commissioned her to paint covers shortly after, and at the end of the 1940s, she moved to a complex of studios, Durham Wharf, on the Thames at Chiswick, where she lived and worked until her death.
Fedden married the artist Julian Trevelyan in 1951, having met before the war, and they travelled to Europe, Africa, India, Russia and America together. Since then she has continued painting, and the Redfern Gallery, New Grafton Gallery and many others throughout the country exhibit her work. In 1951 she painted murals for the Festival of Britain Television pavilion and later began teaching painting at the Royal College of Art. She was elected to the Royal Academy in 1992 and since the mid-1930s has been a member of the Royal West of England Academy at Bristol, where she was president between 1984 and 1988."

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent paintings.

[@not2tees]

I loved meeting this artist for the first time - she made me grunt (discreetly) with delight! I put on Prokofiev's 5th piano concerto, and I often put on my own music to watch your excellent artist tours, because then I can pause the visuals for closer scrutiny without interrupting the music. But then I can watch them all over again to the music available with the video and double my fun. And your text window is so rewarding, LearnFrom! Do I have to increase your Patreon amount?

My heart softened. I felt hot. My eyes have become gentler.

Maravillosa obra

[@Pakunin61]

No teman ser tomados por ignorantes diciendo lo que realmente sienten al ver estas pinturas. Parecen manualidades de parvulario. ¿ de verdad tienen tanto miedo a decir que esto no vale nada? ¿Habrá aprendido alguna vez a dibujar en su vida? ¿ o sucedió que se rindió y decidió maquillar su torpeza como estilo sofisticado? Y ahí llegan aquellos, que pretenden pasar por expertos o entendidos, adulando sin dejar de pensar interiormente que contemplan monigotes.

simply horrid.

[@tonybinda6905]

Why horrid? Holy cow I thought they were well developed considering that they are a extension of the artist and their own alternate universe. CHEERS

[@turquoise770]

@@tonybinda6905 Up until a certain point in the early 20th century, these pictures, if presented in a reputable museum or gallery, would have been thought by all to have been done be a non-talented child or a retarded adult. Just like in "contemporary" sculpture, you may find "profundity" in a polished aluminum cube by Tony Smith, compared by art critics to "the Italian Renaissance master Leonardo Da Vinci's famous drawing of the Vitruvian Man", but you and I both know that thousands of these cubes could be made, perhaps better, by any number of high school machine shops - what could not be reproduced easily, if ever, would be Da Vinci's Giaconda or Michelangelo's Pieta. "Extensions of the artist" and products of "their own alternate universe" are simply the developed scam jargon to keep a con going in the art world so that they can shamelessly assign an exorbitant price tag to a banana taped to the wall with duct tape at Art Basel in Miami Beach so that a cadre of greedy collectors, opportunist curators, compromised MFA academics, art critics and "artists" - [ hyped by this cabal in order to garner these "artists" a certain amount of "fame" in order to "justify" inflated value to mere garbage, backed up by the said scam jargon in publications like Art News and Art in America to give the garbage the patina of mystique and convince collectors that, not unlike paper money, these otherwise worthless objects are all agreed upon by those that matter to be a good investment] - can all cash in. Granted, what might have started out as interesting mental exercises and philosophical inquiries by art movements like Dada and the anti-art proponents, has ultimately, to the detriment of quality workmanship and mastery of the medium, followed its logical conclusions of absurdity, made manifest in bananas taped to walls, aluminum cubes, and giant high school parade floats of glued on flowers a la Jeff Koons, all being regarded as important as Gothic Cathedrals built over centuries. At least in its embryonic stages, in the early 20th century, this not-even-mediocre-schlock, perhaps not yet fully influenced by the stamping out of all white or all black painting by the day like sheets of worthless paper at the U.S. Treasury being made into money, had attempts at meeting a certain thresholds of competency, but as the decades rolled by and the "official art world" in its single-minded and driven greed propelled by the art market, with all pretense of proficiency cast aside, eventually succumbed to the pure absurdity and pure garbage of "artists" putting their own excrement in cans and branding it as art, or filling a gallery room waist-high in topsoil, or feminine artists squatting naked over unstretched canvas on the floor with brushes protruding out of their lower orifices - all of this in the name of quick cash pushed by insidious art writer and critics, welcomed by mendacious curators and museum directors, given the rubber stamp by scurrilous MFA professors and ultimately bought by greedy commodity collectors, and of course, churned out daily by the unscrupulous "artists". But again, conceding Ms. Fedden some slack, she, like we all, was just an unwitting victim, already born into a world that had taken this horrid, dystopian turn. Although I would almost bet that, with some research into Ms. Fedden, I could almost guarantee that her particular brand of mediocre schlock, not undifferentiated from a mountain of comparable mediocre schlock produced by millions of dabbling amateurs and part-time smearers of paint during her own time, was in all probability due to higher proximity to said cabal of art writers/critics, MFA academics, moneyed collectors and other "artists" promoted by that incestuous kickback circle.
