Victor Pasmore (1908 Chelsham - 1998 Malta) (F) 'Points of Contact', silkscreen in colours on paper, frame inner dimensions 82 cm x 59.5 cm, monogrammed, dated 71, numbered 43/100Provenance: private collection, HanoverPasmore was one of the most important and influential representatives of abstract and constructivist art in England in the post war period. In 1927 he began to study painting part-time at the Central School of Arts alongside his job as a civil servant. After initial experiments in abstraction, he first chose a lyrical figurative style inspired by Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne. From the late 1940s onwards he developed a purely abstract style, strongly influenced by the works and writings of Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee, but also by his contact with Ben Nicholson and the "Circle Group".In his capacity as a teacher, he also became a leading figure in the reform of artistic education in England. His pioneering course at Durham University in Newcastle, which was based on the Bauhaus "basic course" became a model for art college education in the United Kingdom. Pasmore was invited to documenta II and III in 1959 and 1964, and to the São Paolo Biennale in 1965. In 1966, he and his wife moved to Malta, where he remained until the end of his life. There, in 2014, the Victor Pasmore Gallery was opened by the Central Bank of Malta in collaboration with the Victor Pasmore Foundation.
