The school
The school had no formal curriculum and students studied what and when they wished. There were day and evening courses: life classes, classes in composition and design, and classes on the history of Modern Art. Frank Rutter taught a course entitled "From Cézanne to Picasso".Шаблон:R Macnab's wife, the dancer Helen Wingrave, gave a dance course.Шаблон:R Though there was no formal curriculum, all students attended Claude Flight's linocut classes.[2]
The Grosvenor School closed in 1940, merging with the Heatherley School of Fine Art.[3]
Legacy
The school did much to revive interest in printmaking in general, and particularly in the linocut, in the years between the Wars.Шаблон:R Artists associated with it have come to be known as the "Grosvenor School", and their work commands high prices.Шаблон:R
In June–September 2019, the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London hosted the first major exhibition presenting solely the output of the Grosvenor School alumni in a public museum; it was also the first major exhibition outside Australia to have considerable examples of the works by the Australian alumni Ethel Spowers, Dorrit Black and others.[4]
