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. — —
The curatorial challenge for the 2007–08 student guides was to design an exhibition showcasing highlights from the Center’s collection of late nineteenth- through twenty-first-century paintings and sculpture. The Victorian to Modern collection usually mounted on the second floor was consolidated on the fourth floor, in two bays of the Long Gallery, to accommodate the Center’s special exhibitions Pearls to Pyramids and A New World. — —
Figuring Women: The Female in Modern British Art focused on representations of women from the Victorian era to the present day. Student guides used a variety of paintings and sculpture to explore how artists, including Walter Sickert, Vanessa Bell, Harold Gilman, Henry Moore, and Barbara Hepworth, have interpreted the female form. — —
Credits — —
The student curators of the exhibition were Jenny Elizabeth Braun (DC ’08), Jessica Dilworth (BK ’10), Panda Ebling (DC ’08), Charles Gariepy (TD ’09), Andrew Lee (BR ’09), Sharon Madanes (DC ’08), and Adrienne Wong (MC ’10), working under the direction of Cassandra Albinson, Associate Curator of Paintings and Sculpture, and Linda Friedlaender, Curator of Education

This late painting by R. B. Kitaj began its life in 1988 as an elevation in blues of the modernist Cohen house by the architects Erich Mendelsohn (1887–1953) and Serge Chermayeff (1900–1996) in Old Church Street, Chelsea, just around the corner from where Kitaj was then living and working in London. In 2004, by now transplanted to Los Angeles, Kitaj completed the foreground. He writes: "It is a strange painting, done in stages over many years. It is a sort of frieze showing a few painters in my London circle in a free-form kind of style. . . . The initials stand for Kitaj, [Lucian] Freud, [Frank] Auerbach, my late wife Sandra Fisher, and [Leon] Kossoff." Notably, all of these painters were either not born in Britain or had parents who fled to London to escape persecution in their former homelands. The harsh execution and high-keyed colors belie an elegiac quality, and more than a hint of affection, in these brisk characterizations of some of the most important people in his life, partly visualized from, partly obscured by, the distant vantage point of Southern California.

This painting, which began life in 1988, was inspired by the modernist Cohen house in Old Church Street, in the London borough of Chelsea, designed by the architects Erich Mendelsohn (1887–1953) and Serge Chermayeff (1900– 1996), a property just around the corner from where R. B. Kitaj lived and worked for many years. Kitaj completed the foreground in 2004, by which time he was in Los Angeles having become disillusioned with Britain. It represents some his closest associates, all Jewish artists from Europe and America who had settled in Britain. He writes: “It is a strange painting, done in stages over many years. It is a sort of frieze showing a few painters in my London circle in a free-form kind of style. . . . The initials stand for Kitaj, [Lucian] Freud, [Frank] Auerbach, my late wife Sandra Fisher, and [Leon] Kossoff.”
