The Art of Resistance: Defending Academic Freedom since 1933 | Page 142

Jane Joseph?British
Jane trained as a painter at Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts in
London from 1961 to 1965 and gained a Leverhulme Award for travel in
Europe for the year 1965-66. She had the opportunity to work at the
Graphic Workshop of Pécs, Hungary in 1989. Two Abbey awards
allowed her to study and travel in Italy in 1991 and again in 1995.
She lives and works in West London, where she is occupied with the
urban landscape. It is this subject which propels her work. In 1999 she
was commissioned by the Folio Society to make etchings to accompany
Primo Levi’s If This is a Man, followed by The Truce in 2001. These
prints contribute to a substantial body of work in small black and white
etchings and large charcoal drawings. Subsequent publications
include A Little Flora of Common Plants and Seeds & Fruits, both with
Dandelion (study for
A Little Flora of
Common Plants)

text by Mel Gooding, and Kinderszenen a collaboration with the poet
Anthony Rudolf.
She has exhibited regularly since 1973. Her most recent solo exhibitions
were held in September-October 2013 at the Eagle Gallery (London)
and New Hall (Cambridge). Her work features in a number of collections
including: National Art Library (V&A Museum), British Library, British
Museum, Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge), Whitworth Art Gallery
(Manchester) and Yale Center for British Art (Connecticut). She taught at
Wimbledon School of Art and at Morley College, London, for many years.

The subject of common plants is derived from my overall involvement
with the landscape.
