 LRB | Peter Campbell : At the Royal Academy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A sculptor as well as a draughtsman, Skeaping had been married to Barbara Hepworth, and the first three children's drawings in his book - he compares one of them to an Etruscan bronze - are by five-year-olds, the triplets Hepworth had with her second husband, Ben Nicholson.
Skeaping is a Modernist in his sympathies and wants to release his readers from the feeling that there is one proper way to show how things look.
Munnings used what could be learned from advanced 19th-century painting: he was in the literal sense a post-Impressionist for he borrowed brightness and briskness from their way of painting, if nothing from their attitude to subject-matter.

Skeaping's "Mares and Foals" is one of the works on view in the new exhibit.
Items in the exhibition -- which range from a monumental lead statue of King William III by 17th-century sculptor John Van Nost to a group of bronze foals and mares by contemporary artist Tessa Pullan -- reflect the personal taste of Mellon in sculpture and demonstrate the breadth of his collection in this genre.
In addition to Skeaping, Mellon also greatly admired artist Barbara Hepworth, whose works are on display on the second floor.

She had her first solo exhibition in 1928 and, by the early 1930s, had developed her mature style: a sensuous kind of organic abstraction, sometimes incorporating strings, wires, colored paint, or holes piercing the sculpted form.
In 1931 Hepworth and Skeaping divorced; two years later she married the English avant-garde painter Ben Nicholson, with whom she lived and worked for the next two decades.
During the 1950s Hepworth's reputation grew exponentially: she was represented in the Venice Biennale and won a first prize at the Biennial exhibition in São Paulo; she also had her first major retrospective exhibition and was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (she was awarded the rank of Dame in 1965).

Fields are ploughed and harvested (Kenneth Rowntree, Tractor; John Nash, Harvesting); trees are felled (Michael Rothenstein, Timber Felling); nets are mended for the next fishing (Julian Trevelyan, Harbour); horses are groomed, and deliver beer to local pubs (John Skeaping, Mare and Foal; Tom Gentleman, The Grey Horses).
Some have little more than a period charm (which may increase their interest as nostalgia catches up with the '40s), others are merely dull; but some have survived remarkably well (including those mentioned above) and a small number are very good prints indeed.
In Nash's Window Plants the old lady dozing is engulfed by the exuberant plants, her heart imaged in the bright red geranium at her breast, her sleeping cat echoing the striped partridge-breast cactus on the sill.
