Drawing attention in London.(Slade School of Fine Art)
The Slade School of Fine Art, now part of University College London, was founded in 1871 with the aim of providing progressive art training based on intensive study from the life model. Each year prizes were awarded to Slade students in the categories of portrait, life, antique, and landscape drawing, and from the 1890s these works were kept by the university. In addition, the Slade collection contains examples by members of the staff and gifts from former students. An exhibition called Prized Drawings: A Selection from the Slade 1897-1953 is on view at the Strang Print Room of University College London until March 30. The curator is Emma Chambers and there is no accompanying publication.
