artists at Tate St Ives

Jill Goodman • 19 May 2020

As I select new colours for new paintings I'm remembering my 2018 visit to the newly opened extension at Tate St Ives featuring the large paintings by Patrick Heron.

These are some images from my 2018 visit to Tate St Ives opening the new wing - fantastic large paintings by Patrick Heron, plus some other favourites from the permanent collection.

I read again some of the exhibition notes that I find helpful - texts written by Heron who has also been an art critic:
'.... organisational patterns .... which had the complexity of that sort of painting which puts itself at the disposal of the received image from the natural scene. I'm thinking of the dots and dashes of a Bonnard, or even a late Monet.' (Patrick Heron 1987)
