Concrete Art In The Fifties

An exhibiton of abstract are was held at 22, Fitzroy Street,
on 11th-14th July. This adress is the studio of one of a group
of abstract artists. It was open until 8:00 p.m. over the
weekend and was thus accessible at a time when the Bond Street
galleries are closed. Using a studio for a group exhibiton
(despite problems of hanging) has advantages for visitors may ex-
pect to meet some of the artists concerned. The group has pub-
lished two broadsheets and this exhibition (the second of its
kind) is another effort to reach the public and as such deserves support.
Victor Pasmore is the centre of the group which includes Robert
Adams, Adrian Heath, Anthony Hill, and Kenneth Martin. Their
bias is towards constructivist art, away from the painterly, ex-
pressionistic character of much recent abstraction ( a tendency
represented here by Roger Hilton). In addition to this London
group there are contributions from Cornwall - Ben Nicholson and
Barbara Hepworth, with Dennis Mitchell and Terry Frost. Nichol-
son and Hepworth have continued the lucid, classicizing abstract
art of the thirties into the fifties: the recent work of Pasmore
(represented by two reliefs in the present show) is a return to
this attitude, an attempt to restore the continuity of European concrete
art interupted by war.
After Pasmore Adams is the most developed member of the group.
His sculpture and his collages have, for me, a rather English ele-
gance: his sculpural shapes, at their best, are springy and firm,
like a good cricket but, his white lines are those defining a tennis
