Art in Focus is an academic initiative for members of the Yale Center for British Art Student Guide Program, through which students are introduced to every aspect of exhibition practice. Students intensify their engagement with the Center’s collections, strengthen their research skills, and test writing in new formats. Student curators select objects for exhibition, write text panels and object labels, and make decisions about installation. — —
Art in Focus: John Flaxman Modeling Bust of William Hayley was the third exhibition of the Art in Focus initiative. It examined George Romney’s complex group portrait of 1795, depicting John Flaxman sculpting a monumental bust of the poet William Hayley, with assistance from Thomas Alphonso Hayley, Flaxman’s apprentice and Hayley’s son; the painting also includes a self-portrait of Romney at the edge of the canvas. The exhibition investigated the painting from multiple perspectives, using it as a jumping-off point for exploring the four artists’ relationships to their media and to each other. — —
The exhibition featured a medallion by Thomas Alphonso—one of only two surviving works by the prodigy—and William Hayley’s published life of his son, both gifts to the Center by Professor Charles Ryskamp, Director Emeritus of the Pierpont Morgan Library and the Frick Collection. Through this group of objects, as well as letters, prints, and drawings, the exhibition addressed questions of the professional and personal relationships among the sitters, the nature of male friendship in the period, and the complex history of the portrait’s ownership. Art in Focus: John Flaxman Modeling Bust of William Hayley also included important new technical information about the group portrait gathered during recent analysis under the oversight of Mark Aronson, the Center’s Chief Conservator of Paintings. — —

Student Guide curators of this exhibition were Page Benkowski (ES ’09), Nicole Espy (PC ’09), Samo Gale (MC ’10), Andrew Lee (BR ’09), Yinshi Lerman-Tan (MC ’11), Minghao Liu (JE ’09), Nick Robbins (BC ’10), and Margaret Tung (CC ’10). They worked under the guidance of Professor Ryskamp, as well as members of the Center’s staff, including Matthew Hargraves, Assistant Curator for Collections Research; Linda Friedlaender, Curator of Education; and Jennifer Kowitt, Postgraduate Research Associate in the Education department.

The eighteenth century in Britain witnessed an extraordinary flourishing of the practice of drawing, among both professional artists and amateurs. This exhibition of one hundred outstanding drawings and watercolors from the Yale Center for British Art celebrated the richness and diversity of its eighteenth century holdings—rivaled only by the great national collections in London—and examined the professional and social roles played by draftsmanship during the period. Among the highlights were works by William Blake, Alexander and John Robert Cozens, Henry Fuseli, Thomas Gainsborough, Allan Ramsay, Paul Sandby, and William Hogarth (whose controversial and innovative theory of the “Line of Beauty” suggested the title for the exhibition). — —
Ranging from large-scale highly finished exhibition watercolors to informal sketches intended for private use and enjoyment, the drawings were arranged in illuminating thematic and contextual groupings: the portrait, landscape, the city, science and natural history, sports and amusements, and the life of the artist. — —
Credits — —
Curated at the Center by Scott Wilcox, Curator of Prints and Drawings, and Gillian Forrester, Assistant Curator of Prints and Drawings, The Line of Beauty also featured drawing manuals and instructional literature of the period, selected from the Center’s rich collection of rare books.

For the British artist studying in Italy, the sketchbook was a crucial tool. There on "classic ground" the act of drawing focused the attention and aided the understanding. Back in Britain the sketchbook provided not only a record of the art and landscape encountered but also a repertoire of poses, figural groupings, and compositional ideas from the ancients and the masters of the Renaissance and Baroque or of richly evocative landscape elements that could be incorporated into their own art. --- ---
While their sketchbooks show them to have been eager and receptive students, both George Romney and John Flaxman made their visits to Italy as mature well-established artists. Romney interrupted a successful practice as a portrait painter to travel to Italy between 1773 and 1775. Flaxman by 1787 had earned enough as a sculptor to afford a more extended stay in Italy, remaining there until 1794. The Sketchbooks by Romney and Flaxman are each filled with drawings after antique sculpture and works of the early high Renaissance in both Florence and Rome. Romney's sketches are freer and interspersed with original compositional studies; Flaxman's drawings are more disciplined, frequently worked up with pen and ink and wash. --- ---
