John Cecil Stephenson was a British abstract artist and pioneer of Modernism. He was born on 18 September 1889 in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, and died in London in 1965. ==Career== He was educated at Leeds School of Art from 1909–14, the last two years as a pupil-teacher. In 1914 he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art and moved to London, at 6, the Mall Studios, near Hampstead, where he remained for the rest of his life. In 1922 he was appointed Head of Art at Northern Polytechnic. In 1928 his next door neighbour became Barbara Hepworth, who moved into 7, the Mall Studios with her first husband John Skeaping. His other friends and neighbours over the years included Piet Mondrian, Henry Moore, Herbert Read, Walter Gropius, Alexander Calder and Ben Nicholson. In 1933, along with Ben Nicholson, he exhibited for the first time with the Seven and Five Society, and in 1935 he took part in the Seven & Five's first exhibition of entirely abstract art. In 1937 he contributed a page to Ben Nicholson, Leslie Martin and Naum Gabo's influential Circle: an international survey of Constructivist art. 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「Cecil Stephenson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
