About the Item
William Black (British, Fl. 1963 – 69)
Landscape abstraction
Watercolour and ink on paper
Signed, inscribed and dated ‘Landscape abstraction William Black 63’ (lower edge)
8 x 11.1/4 in. (20.3 x 28.3 cm.)
William Black is a little known and underrated member of the St Ives artist group who, having worked as an architect after the Second World War, went on to work as an artist following the inheritance of money in the early 1950s.
He was a self taught artist, producing numerous deconstructivist sculptures in the 1960s. He moved to St Ives in Cornwall where he knew artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo. There is a clear architectural element to the sculptures that he made . They illustrate an assemblage of fragmented shapes and forms of a deconstructivist nature.
William Black’s artwork is very much rooted in the time and Cornish School so one can see elements from those such as Wilhelmina Barns Graham , George Hammond Steel and even Fred Wallis, all of whom would have been familiar to him . He was however closest to John Tunnard who , like himself, was slightly outside the main group of artists at that time . As a result his work has only recently become better known and acknowledged by the mainstream art world .

- "#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING", ink, pencil, gouache, found vintage book, poetryBy Amy WilliamsLocated in Toronto, Ontario"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist works directly onto pages of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from page 186 to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text. The resulting poem reads "The wounded were coming / men that were scared / I felt the rain in my face / It was getting dark." – Hemingway's novel is a doomed romance between a wounded American soldier and an Italian nurse – note the feminine form on the page, with a "dress" or apron that looks skeletal, bloody and rained upon, all at once. From Amy Williams – "My recent work is focused on making treated book pages using a found vintage...Category
