St
Ives Artists - Past and Present
St
Ives has been synonymous with contemporary art for over 100 years.
The arrival of Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo in
1939 brought a renewed impetus to the art colony attracting many
other important modernist artists to St Ives. Although the 1940s
to mid 1960s is viewed by many as the 'golden age' in St Ives,
artists have continued to be drawn to Cornwall where to this day
there is still a thriving art scene.
