Bryan Kneale RA (born 19 June 1930〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bryan Kneale )〕) is a Manx artist and sculptor, described by BBC News Online as "one of the Isle of Man's best known artists." ==Biography== Born in the island's capital, Douglas,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bryan Kneale )〕 Kneale studied painting at the Douglas School of Art, from which he graduated in 1947, and then moved to London, to study at the Royal Academy Schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bryan Kneale RA )〕 In 1948, he won the Rome Prize and spent some time living in Italy.〔 During the 1950s, he learned welding, and in 1960 took to sculpture in preference to painting, and became a teacher.〔 He has taught at Hornsey College of Art and Design, and from 1963 until his retirement from teaching in 1995 he taught sculpture at the Royal College of Art.〔 He was also Master and later Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy between 1982 and 1990.〔 In addition to his teaching, numerous exhibitions of his own painting and sculpture work have been held since 1953,〔 and his works are displayed in countries such as Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and the United States.〔 In the USA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City includes examples of his work amongst its public collections.〔 He was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Prize in 1952, as well as the ''Daily Express'' Young Painters' Prize (1955) and an Arts Council Purchase Award (1969).〔 After a successful solo show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1966, Kneale became the first abstract sculptor to be elected a Royal Academician in 1974. He accepted the honour only on the condition that he be allowed to curate a show of contemporary sculpture which resulted in a groundbreaking survey of some of the period's most exciting sculptors. Kneale is the younger brother of the screenwriter Nigel Kneale (1922–2006), best known for his ''Quatermass'' television serials. Kneale illustrated the covers for Penguin Books' releases of his elder brother's ''Quatermass'' scripts in 1960. He was also responsible for a painting of a lobster from which BBC special effects designers Bernard Wilkie and Jack Kine drew their inspiration for the Martian creatures they constructed for ''Quatermass and the Pit'' (1958–59). He currently lives in London.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryan Kneale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
