Anna Airy
Music: Gregor Daniel - Zaubergarten (Magic Garden)
Thank you very much, dear Gregor. It is a pleasure to listen to your music. Kisses, Amalia
Anna Airy (Greenwich, London, June 1882 - Playford, England, Oct 23, 1964), daughter of engineer Wilfrid Airy and Anna née Listing, and granddaughter of Astronomer Royal George Biddell Airy.
Was a British oil painter, pastel artist and etcher. She was one of the first women officially commissioned as a war artist and was recognised as one of the leading women artists of her generation.
Airy trained at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1899 to 1903, where she studied with William Orpen and Augustus John, Fred Brown, Henry Tonks and Philip Wilson Steer.
Memberships:
1906 Member of The Pastel Society (elected).
1908 Royal Society of Painters and Etchers (elected).
1909 Member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
1918 Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (elected).
1945 President of the Ipswich Art Society (elected).
1952 Member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.
Airy won all the prizes at the Slade School for portrait, figure, and other subjects including the Slade School Scholarship in 1902. She also won the Melville Nettleship Prize in 1900, 1901 and 1902.
In 1905, while living at 7 The Studio, Sherriff Road, West Hampstead, Airy made her debut at the Royal Academy with her painting Michael Lee Esq.: Indian Mutiny and would continue to exhibit there until her death; displaying more than 80 works in all.
During this period Anna met and married Geoffrey Buckingham Pocock (1879-1960), a well-known painter and teacher of etchings, and the two of them were sharing a studio at 5 Parkhill Road Studios, Haverstock Hill by 1908.
Airy was given commissions in a number of factories and painted her canvases on site during World War I, in difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions. For example, while working at great speed to paint A Shell Forge at a National Projectile Factory, Hackney Marshes, London in an extremely hot environment, the ground became so hot that her shoes were burnt off her feet. This painting was featured in an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum's 2011-2012 exhibition Women War Artists.
In June 1918 the Munitions Committee of the Imperial War Museum commissioned her to create four paintings representing typical scenes in four munitions factories:
- National Projectile Factory at Hackney
- National Filling Factory at Chilwell, Nottingham, W G Armstrong Whitworth's at Nottingham
- Aircraft Manufacturing Co. at Hendon
- South Metropolitan Gas Co.
She was also commissioned by the Women's Work Section.
In 1917 she was commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund; and in 1940 by the Ministry of Munitions.
Her etching Forerunners of Fruit (c.1925) is in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Airy's work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere in 1905 and each subsequent year, her first one-woman exhibition having been held at the Carfax Gallery in 1908. She was also exhibited at International Exhibitions, including Continental, Colonial, and American. She has been represented in the British Museum; the Victoria and Albert Museum; and the Imperial War Museum. Her work also appeared in the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, as well as in Auckland, New Zealand; Vancouver and Ottawa in Canada; and in the Corporation Art Galleries of Liverpool, Leeds, Huddersfield, Birkenhead, Blackpool, Rochdale, Ipswich, Doncaster, Lincoln, Harrogate, Paisley and Newport.

Maggi Hambling: the Grandeur and Power of Water
Born Suffolk, 1945, Maggi Hambling is a household name in British art. She studied with Lett Haines and Cederic Morris and studied at Ipswich School of Art, Camberwell School of Art and Slade School of Fine Art. She was the First Artist in Residence at the National Gallery in 1980-81, and among other of her works, her portraits of George Melly and Max Wall hang in the National Portrait Gallery. Public collections holding her work include: British Museum, Tate Collection, National Gallery, London, and Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon. The monograph MAGGI HAMBLING THE WORKS and conversations with Andrew Lambirth was published in 2006 (Unicorn Press). In 2010, Maggi Hambling was awarded a CBE. Her public sculpture Scallop, a monument to the composer Benjamin Britten, stands on Aldeburgh beach, Suffolk, and her main muse of recent years has been the North Sea, to great critical acclaim.
A high-speed tour of art at Ipswich Hospital
Take a high-speed art tour of Ipswich Hospital focusing on the drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures that brighten up its corridors.
Pieces specially commissioned by professionals hang alongside those by local school pupils, art groups, college students and those looking to sell their work or teach others.
One highlight is stroke patient Alex Osborne’s painting. The art student created it with his non-writing hand as part of his therapy in helping his recovery.
The largest piece is Suffolk artist Paul Richardson’s sculpture of two pairs of ballroom dancers entitled Dancers (a quick step to recovery).
The larger than life silver and gold painted steel figures can be found with beaming grins outside in a courtyard.
The historic photographs seen on the way into the Stroke Ward can also be useful in helping patients by triggering memories that could be the key to releasing others.
Some of the more colourful pieces have been made by the youngsters in the Schoolroom in the children’s ward. Other artists, such as Picasso, are used as inspiration or projects may reflect the natural world.
This video is just a taste of what can be found around Ipswich Hospital, there’s lots more to be found if you keep your eyes peeled.
Arts for All
Arts for All is a campaign by SUARTS - the Students' Union, University of the Arts London - which highlights massive inequalities in arts education and the arts sector as a whole.
Arts for All is about fighting for fair arts education that is free and accesible to all, no matter what your financial situation. Your Students' Union is fighting on a national and local level for measures that ensure that no one is shut out from studying here at UAL. Because for many reasons, students face hardship and a lot of people don't apply at all because they can't afford it. We're fighting for Arts for All because:
- politicians want to take art and design subjects out of the schools curriculum because our practices are seen as less important than academic subjects
- the government has cut the creative sector by 30%
- our industry is rife with unpaid internships that many cannot afford to do
- women in the arts earn 18% less than men
- the art world and our University is a global and international one, however international students still face discrimination
- black home students in the arts score 20% lower grades than white home students
- being an artist and an athlete is seen as contradictory, so arts students aren't given the time to play for their teams like students from other institutions are
- students are being priced out of the property rental market and are expected to live in substandard housing
- there is a lack of financial support for students
- the price of a single room in UAL alone has risen by 57% but student incomes haven't changed.
