Biography
There is one painting by Wendy Pasmore in the Tate Collection, and over one hundred by her husband. Wendy Blood was born in Dublin, and trained at Chelmsford School of Art in the early 1930s. She has exhibited her work at the Women's International Art Club, where she was a member from 1955, at the London Group, which she joined three years later, and at the Royal Academy. Pasmore has also taught, at colleges of art in Sunderland and Leeds.
At her retrospective, at Molton & Lords Galleries, London, in 1963, Pasmore showed twenty-four oil paintings. There were some early still lifes, but the majority were abstracts, including a series of works in which what she termed 'graphic" or 'linear' motifs were enclosed in circles or ovals. Some of the paintings recall Cubist experiments with fractured form and restricted palette. Others, with their clustering of small marks covering the picture plane, are similar to the Little Image paintings of Lee Krasner, or cells viewed through a microscope. In her more recent paintings, of the 1980s and early 1990s, Pasmore has developed a looser calligraphic mark-making style, suggesting that she shares with her husband an interest in Japanese art. These paintings were shown at a 1997 exhibition at the Air Gallery, London. Pasmore s work is in the collections of the Arts Council and Leeds Education Committee. |
