Stanley Spencer Art

British, 1891-1959
Inspired by spirituality, desire, and the human experience, Stanley Spencer (1891-1959), reimagines historic Christian iconography to transform Cookham into a ‘village of heaven’. With a raw emotional intensity, Spencer masterfully crafted multi-figure compositions that translated his fellow villagers and neighbours into Gospel counterparts. A source of inspiration for figures such as Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, and Tracey Emin, Stanley Spencer made a lasting mark upon generations of artists to come. Educated at the Maidenhead Technical Institute and the Slade School of Fine Art, graduating 1912, Stanley Spencer was awarded the CBE, knighted, and elected to the Royal Academy of Art during his career. Spencer’s works have been shown in galleries and museums such as the Venice Biennale (1938), the Tate (1955, 2001), the Royal Academy (1980), the Smithsonian Institution (1997), the Scottish National Portrait Gallery (2000), York Art Gallery (2009), Somerset House (2013), and more. His paintings and sketches are held in the permanent collections of museums across the UK, including the Imperial War Museum, London, the Burghclere Chapel, Tate, London, and the Stanley Spencer Gallery.
