The Trial
複製画のサイズ
John Samuel Tunnard (1900-1971) was an English modernist painter and designer. Born in Sandwich, Kent, he initially studied design at the Royal College of Art from 1919 to 1923. This foundational training would prove crucial throughout his artistic career, influencing both his painting style and his later ventures into textile design.
During the 1920s, Tunnard worked in various textile design roles in Manchester. This period provided him with practical experience and an understanding of pattern, color, and form – elements that would later become prominent features of his paintings. In 1926, he married Mary May Robertson, a partnership that would significantly shape both their personal and professional lives.
By 1928, Tunnard began to focus seriously on painting. He taught design at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London from 1929 onwards, further solidifying his engagement with artistic principles and pedagogy. His work during this time demonstrates a growing interest in modernist aesthetics. Tunnard’s style was notably influenced by Surrealism, although he never formally joined the movement. He participated in several surrealist exhibitions throughout the 1930s, including one at the Gordon Fraser Gallery in Cambridge.
In 1933, Tunnard and his wife moved to Cadgwith, Cornwall. There, they established a business producing printed silks, allowing them to combine their artistic talents with entrepreneurial endeavors. The Cornish landscape profoundly impacted Tunnard’s art, inspiring many of his later landscapes and providing a new source of visual motifs.
Tunnard's oeuvre encompasses both paintings – including notable landscapes and portraits – and textile designs. His painting style is characterized by its lyrical abstraction, dreamlike qualities, and vibrant color palettes. He often blended representational elements with abstract forms, creating a unique visual language that reflects his surrealist leanings.
Tunnard exhibited widely throughout his career. He showed work at the Royal Academy and with the London Group (which he joined in 1934). His participation in surrealist exhibitions further cemented his position within the British avant-garde.
John Samuel Tunnard is now considered one of the most important English modernist painters. His work represents a unique synthesis of Surrealism, abstraction, and landscape painting. Examples of his art can be found in prominent collections such as the National Galleries of Scotland. He contributed significantly to the development of modern British art, bridging the gap between traditional representation and abstract expression.
