A Crisis of Brilliance: The Slade School and the
revolution in British Art, 1910-1919
Dr David Boyd Haycock
In the years leading up
to the First World War,
the Slade School of Art
in London was the
leading establishment in
England for teaching of
drawing and painting. Its
students included some
of the most important British artists of the first half
of the twentieth century, including David Bomberg,
Dora Carrington, Mark Gertler, Paul Nash, C.R.W.
Nevinson, William Roberts, Stanley Spencer and
Edward Wadsworth.
Based on his book, A Crisis of Brilliance: Five
Young British Artists and the Great War (2009), this
lecture explores the fascinating story of these
artists’ interlocking lives, and their artistic education
and development.
