St Ives) Tate Gallery, St Ives, Cornwall. St Ives has been an artists' colony since 1928. By 1939 many of the leading British artists of the time, including Ben Nicholson, Naum Gabo, and Barbara Hepworth, had settled permanently in the seaside town. The opening of the Tate Gallery, St Ives in 1993 has allowed some of the best work of these and the later St Ives artists to be brought together in one building. Fishing port and resort in Cornwall, southwest England; population (2001) 11,200. Its artists' colony, founded by Walter Sickert and James Whistler, later included Naum Gabo, Barbara Hepworth (a museum and sculpture gardens commemorate her), and Ben Nicholson. A branch of the Tate Gallery opened here in 1993, displaying works of art from the Tate's collection by artists connected with St Ives. |

| One day last spring, in town, I was in company with two men, striking instances of what I am talking of; Lord St Ives, whose father we all know to have been a country curate, without bread to eat; I was to give place to Lord St Ives, and a certain Admiral Baldwin, the most deplorable-looking personage you can imagine; his face the colour of mahogany, rough and rugged to the last degree; all lines and wrinkles, nine grey hairs of a side, and nothing but a dab of powder at top. |
