Glenys Irene Cour Шаблон:Postnominals (Шаблон:Née Carthew, born 1924) is a Welsh artist.
Biography
Cour was born in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1924. From 1945 until 1948, she studied at Cardiff College of Art under Ceri Richards and married the sculptor Ronald Cour in 1949.[1][2] From 1963 to 2000, she taught painting and architectural glass at Swansea Institute of Higher Education, and the University of Wales, Swansea.[3][4]
Cour has been a member of The Welsh Group for a number of years, taking part in many of the group's exhibitions, including its 50th anniversary in 1998.[5][6] She was elected Royal Cambrian Academician in 2009[7] and is also one of the founding artists of Swansea's Mission Gallery.[8]
Artwork
Cour's artwork is primarily concerned with colour and light, using landscape, flowers, various culturally charged objects, like ancient Greek artefacts or Celtic stones, and mythology, especially the mythology of Wales and the multiplely layered tales of the Mabinogion.[9][10]
Cour's artwork includes painting on canvas and paper, stained glass, collage, paper making, posters, projections and artist books. Her use of materials has changed through the years, from the landscape painting of the 1970s, leading into a greater use of collage and abstraction from the 1980s, working predominantly in glass for periods and in 2007 illustrating a book with Old Stile Press.[9][11][12]
Exhibitions
Glenys Cour's artwork has been exhibited widely in Europe and the US,[4] with major exhibitions in her home country of Wales at St. David's Hall in 1991, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in 2003, the Attic Gallery, Swansea in 2005[3] and a major retrospective exhibition, curated by Mel Gooding, at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in 2014.[13] Film maker Toril Brancher was commissioned by the gallery to make a film about Glenys Cour and her artwork as part of the exhibition.[14][15]
Her artwork is held in several public and private collections, including the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, The National Museum of Wales, The Kunsthalle Mannheim Museum, Swansea University, the University of South Wales and Y Gaer.[3][10]
