STANISLAWA de KARLOWSKA 

Stanislawa De Karlowska (1876-1952) was a Polish-born artist. She was trained as an artist in Cracow, and than at the Académie Julian in Paris. She was a founder member of the London Group, and exhibited with them throughout her life. She married Camden Town Group painter Robert Bevan and they settled in London. As a member of Camden Town Group, she followed a modern post-impressionist style with bright colours to depict the local urban environment, the growing industrial landscape, and the countryside.

Stanislawa was a modernist with traces of Polish folk art. She overcame her initial inability to detail the nature and human figures, with the bold use of colours. She continued to exploit bold colours to achieve her expression of an abstract character. Her paintings have been consistently compared with her husband’s works (Robert Bevan). Her art had flatter perspectives, intense colours, elongated figures and dream-like atmosphere.

Clarkson Frederick Stanfield (1793-1867) was an English painter. He was known for his sea coast art and large scale landscapes. His father, and other family members were also painters.

Stanfield in his young age, was a sailor. These voyages exposed him to intimate experience with the sea. He was fond of sail boats on choppy seas, extreme weather and dynamic scenes. But he began the carrier with coach decoration, theatrical scene painting. He created moving dioramas and panorama ( The Venetian panorama was a roll of 300 feet length and 20 high, and was gas lit). The theatre or stage-art helped him to handle vast scapes, whereas, moving rolled scenes helped him to connect various pieces of scenes.

Stanfield's easel and theatrical work was based on experiences gained over extensive domestic and foreign tours, and meticulous sketches made on the site. His travels at home and in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Ireland allowed him to create wide range of scenes.

Stanfield was elected as Associate Member of the Royal Academy in 1832, and became a full Academician in February 1835.
