St Ives School

St Ives School

The St Ives School is sometimes used to refer to a group of artists living and working in the Cornish town of St Ives.

In 1920, Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada set up a pottery in St Ives, creating the town's first connection to international 20th-century art.

In 1928, an important meeting between Alfred Wallis, Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood started the development of the Cornish seaside resort of St Ives as an artists' colony.

With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo settled in St Ives, establishing an outpost for the abstract avant-garde movement in west Cornwall. After the war ended, a new and younger generation of artists emerged. These included Peter Lanyon, John Wells, Roger Hilton, Bryan Wynter, Patrick Heron, Terry Frost and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham.
