Spencer was strongly influenced by the river and his religious beliefs, and the gallery occupies the former Victorian Methodist Chapel where Spencer was taken as a child to worship. The gallery has a permanent collection of his work, including the unfinished masterpiece Christ Preaching at Cookham , together with letters, documents and memorabilia. The Winter exhibition (open until 28 March 2004) consists of the Gallery’s own collection of paintings including many favourites such as Christ Preaching at Cookham The Last Supper The Scarecrow View from the Bridge and Sarah Tubb

63. Stanley Spencer
    Here in London is further confirmation at Tate Britain that stanley spencer was a worldclass painter, yet of a particularly English conformation.

    Extractions: Stanley Spencer Tate Britain through 24 June 2001 oeuvre . In the Tate Britain exhibition the medium of film is used to convey the achievement at Burghclere, and yet can scarcely convey this. Possibly, improved technology in virtual reality will one day enable such problems caused by the immobility of the Burghclere works to be overcome. Spencer had set about creating in large, squared canvas panels the full series. For the largest of these, Spencer was only able to locate suitably large looms in Belgium. Unfortunately the gluing of these to the walls was also fraught with problems, not least in retrospect being the use of asbestos as a basis for fixing. Into this great series Spencer had woven all his memories of wartime service, both in Salonika and in England. The works stand today as a major tribute, worthy of major recognition as against the apparent obscurity into which the Burghclere Chapel has recessed. The ultimate lesson, too, is that when Spencer's own simple religious faith was in play he conceived his greatest works. This is well evident at Tate Britain currently. Stanley Spencer is at Tate Modern through 24 June.

65. The Art And Vision Of Sir Stanley Spencer By His Biographer Kenneth Pople
    in appreciation of THE ART of stanley spencer A website especially for those who find his paintings odd or obscure. Introduction. stanley spencer was one such.  
    http://www.kenpople.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
    
    Extractions: Introduction At some time during the 1930s the poet Ezra Pound, we are told, was on a visit to an ancient church in Italy and was descending the steps from the nave to the crypt when he chanced to see on the base of one of the church's great arcaded columns the name of the individual mason who had built it, carved in Latin by his own hand. No doubt thousands of churchgoers over the last twelve centuries or so or so had seen the name and thought little of it. But Pound was dumbstruck, felled by what he called one of his 'moments of illumination'. In that instant, for him, the centuries vanished and mankind's ancient and universal desire for immortality was made manifest. Why else do lovers carve their names on trees? To poets, artists and composers, these moments, these 'epiphanies' as James Joyce called them, come more frequently than to the rest of us. Not only do they startle by their arrival, but the beneficiary is gripped by the urge to have us join him or her in the experience. So they tell it as a novelist, declaim it as a dramatist, chant it as a poet, transcribe it as a musician, carve it as a sculptor or depict it as an artist. Stanley Spencer was one such. But these creative artists, in their urge to have us join them in their experience, face a challenge. At the moment of illumination, each finds himself in two worlds, two modes if one prefers. For an instant he/she is a split personality, existing in both the present and the timeless, while we groundlings remain firmly in the present. The interesting question then is how does the artist reconcile the two worlds in the telling or the showing of the experience?

66. Stanley Spencer 's 'Modernist' Vision
    stanley spencer s vision correponded more to literary trends in his day than to prevailing art movements. stanley spencer s Vision.  
    http://www.kenpople.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/vision.htm
    
    Extractions: This page attempts to relate Stanley's art to contemporary movements in literature, music and art that became classified as Modernism. In his youth the impact of nineteenth-century scientific discovery was changing ways of thinking. In particular, the developing interest in psychology promoted the notion that everything that catches our attention - everything which comes to us as a stimulus, whether it is the sight of a person or object, a thought that strikes us, an idea we encounter, or a sensation we undergo - becomes part of our experience. In art, it became an essential requirement of a Modernist work that it should expand and convey the artist's overall Stanley, meeting up again with the more progessive of his Slade friends after the Great War, was for a while tempted to test their advocacy of one of Modernism's new visual dialects, that of Cubism/Vorticism - and to good effect, as witness his The Paralytic of 1920 - but he soon failed to find in it the universality he needed. To achieve such universality, he needed a more fulfilling approach, one which would sublimate his experience through his art.

    Extractions: Stanley Spencer first met his second wife, Patricia Preece, at a tea shop in Cookham in 1929 but it was not until 1932, when Spencer returned from working at Burghclere, that their relationship became intimate. Their affair led to Spencer's divorce from Hilda and Spencer subsequently married Patricia in 1937, a marriage that failed to survive the honeymoon. This relationship with Preece led to some of Spencer's most powerful portraits, including a small, celebrated group of nudes.

    Extractions: Stanley Spencer is one of the dominant figures of twentieth-century British art. This major exhibition will bring together over one hundred of his paintings and drawings from private and public collections around the world. It aims to present a concise retrospective of one of Britain's best-loved painters, with emphasis on the particularly intense period of the 1930s. The exhibition will include a strong selection of the great, well-known works, but also many less familiar works, which have never been seen before. In addition there will be two specially made films; the first presenting the murals in the Sandham Memorial Chapel at Burghclere, the second a digital recreation of the Church-House project, Spencer's imagined space for much of his later work. Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) was an outstanding student at the Slade School of Art in London, and the first section of the exhibition is devoted to his early work reflecting the dual influence of Giotto and Gauguin. This early flowering culminates in masterpieces such as The Nativity (1912, University College London) and Zacharias and Elizabeth (1914, recently purchased jointly by Tate and Sheffield City Art Gallery); in both a biblical theme is embedded within the landscape of the Berkshire village of Cookham where he grew up and lived for much of his life.

Magazine Home News Features Reviews ... Perhaps jealous of the attention received by its new sibling across the water, Tate Britain has opened what is considered an assured crowd-pleaser for British art lovers a retrospective of the early modernist painter, Stanley Spencer (1891-1959). Critic Simon Jenkins of the Times of London, for one, cooed over the late artist's heartfelt narratives. Spencer's previous retrospectives (at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., in 1997 and at the Royal Academy in London in 1980) amply demonstrated his religious fervor in images of his hometown of Cookham, the compassion he felt for his fellow residents and his quirky romantic and sexual obsessions. Spencer has frequently come across as a quaint village innocent, inextricably tied to small-town England. Forgotten has been the shock and controversy that his works originally provoked. In this new retrospective, however, Spencer's work appears more stylistically avant-garde than ever before.

77. Robert Fulford's Column About Stanley Spencer
    Robert Fulford s column about stanley spencer. (The National Post, October 23, 2001) For much of his life, the British art world  
    http://www.robertfulford.com/StanleySpencer.html
    
    Extractions: The National Post , October 23, 2001) For much of his life, the British art world couldn't decide whether Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) was a village simpleton or a neo-primitive genius. His paintings looked gawky and eccentric, as if he was pretending to be a folk artist. So far as you could tell from his work, he knew nothing of Matisse, Picasso and the rest of modern art. In fact, he was stylistically his own man more so than any other prominent painter in England. He had ideas of his own, too. No one else ever spent so much time trying to prove that Christianity and sex are more or less the same thing. He was knighted just before he died, but soon pretty much forgotten. Then, around 1980, England rediscovered him with sumptuous exhibitions and books. Now, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto has a rich, fascinating survey of his art, which runs till Dec. 16. It represents him in all his glory and misery. Spencer's contemporaries recognized his unusual talent during his student days at the Slade School in London. The Bloomsbury set took to him and Roger Fry put him into a 1912 post-impressionist exhibition. Spencer wasn't surprised. Then, as later, his ego was strangely open, almost innocent: He said, "The most interesting thing I ever came across is myself." As his national reputation grew, his sensibility turned uniquely local. He focused his work on Cookham, the Berkshire village where he grew up. He painted its scruffy backyards, its messy bedrooms, its humble gardens. He developed a way of intensifying the visual power of everyday subjects, as if to say: You might think all this ordinary; I consider it sacred.

    http://www.archeus.co.uk/pages/biography/8.html
    
    Extractions: Painter of portraits, landscapes and imaginative, visionary, quirky works with a Biblical flavour set in his native Cookham, Berkshire. Studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, 1908-12, where he was awarded a Scholarship in 1910 and won the Summer Composition Prize two years later. Exhibited at Roger Fry's Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition, 1912. During service in the Army in World War I was commissioned to paint a picture for the Imperial War Museum. He was to serve as an official war artist during World War II, painting ship-building work at Port Glasgow, Scotland. After the war Spencer travelled on occasion in Europe, although his work remained essentially his own, in the English-eccentric tradition. He was the brother of the artist Gilbert Spencer and was married first to Hilda Carline, then Patricia Preece, who both painted. He decorated the oratory of All Souls, Burghclere, 1926-32, with his memories of the Macedonian campaign. His first one-man show was at the Goupil Gallery in 1927. Elected RA, 1950, and knighted, 1959. His work is held in many international collections, including the Tate Gallery, London, and a Stanley Spencer Gallery was opened in Cookham, three years after he died at Taplow, Buckinghamshire. There have been several retrospective exhibitions, a memorial show was held in Plymouth in 1963 and a major appraisal was staged at the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, in America, in 1997-8, and a current major retrospective at The Tate Gallery, London.
