Helen Sutherland in Interwar Northumberland
From 1928 to 1939 the art collector Helen Sutherland rented Rock Hall, a large manor house partly dating from the 13 th century and located near the coast in rural Northumberland. Throughout this period, interspersed with regular returns to London, Rock served, in her words, as a ‘place of refuge and renewal’ for friends, including the painter and poet David Jones, curator and collector Jim Ede and artists Ben and Winifred Nicholson. This, for Su…

British Artists and the Modernist Landscape
Title first published in 2003. In this detailed study of the landscapes and rural scenes of Britain and France made by artists like George Clausen, Philip Wilson Steer, Augustus John, Laura Knight, J. D. Fergusson and Spencer Gore, Ysanne Holt investigates the imaginary geographies behind the pictures and reconsiders the relationship between national identity, 'Englishness' and the native landscape. Combining close investigation of important work…
Performing the Anglo-Scottish Border
Recent times have seen much reflection on the nature of the Anglo-Scottish border region; its past, present and potential future. Political concerns have rightly absorbed much of the attention, but at the same time important light has been shed on the legacy of cultural engagements and forms of interaction that might be said to perform and produce this border over time and render it particularly distinctive. A soft, internal border, the territory…

Northern peripheries
In the United Kingdom, northern regions are often marked by the associations of harsh climate and terrain, historic and contemporary social, cultural and economic marginalisation, low population and poor access to services. Typically perceived as remote and ‘peripheral’ in relation to what tend to be recognised as the central seats of power – London in England, and Edinburgh in Scotland – they have often been regarded as regressive and undevelope…
A hut on Holy Island
This essay explores the evolution and significance of a shelter constructed in 2002 by the artist Sally Madge on a remote beach on Holy Island, off the north-east coast of Northumberland. In the context of a legacy of cultural interactions with and representations of this island – a popular tourist destination – the concern is with how the simple structure might be understood in terms of a potential refiguring of a heavily prefigured location, en…
Marketing Bohemia
On 20 June 1914, the Vorticists set out to shock the British cultural establishment with their journal Blast; its bold type marching diagonally across its bright pink cover. Within, readers found a powerful manifesto, trumpeted in heavy font, specifying individuals, institutions, and items to be blasted or blessed. Amidst those to be blasted, sandwiched between Edward Elgar, cod liver oil and Clan Strachey, was the Chenil Gallery. The Vorticists'…
