Jann Haworth: In 1967 Jann Haworth co-designed
(along with her then husband, Peter Blake) perhaps the most famous single
image from the Pop Art era; the album cover for the Beatles's, Sgt. Peppers
Lonely Heart's Club Band. Later that year she received a Grammy for her
artwork. Jann Haworth first studied art at UCLA and then completed her studies
at the Slade School of Art, London. From approximately 1960 to 1985, Jann Haworth
lived and worked in England. Along with Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton, David
Hockney and others, she was a major figure in the first decade of British
Pop Art, a movement which based its designs upon the images of consumerism
and popular culture. Sorceress clearly belongs to the era
of this phenomenal movement. |

In 1975 Jann Haworth was one of the seven founding members of the
Brotherhood of Ruralists, an artist's group that generally based its work
upon the romantic and pastoral traditions of Pre-Raphaelite art and other
nineteenth century styles and ideas. The Brotherhood had an immediate impact
upon British art and in 1976 a major exhibition of their paintings and sculpture
was held in London at the Royal Academy. Jann Haworth and other members of the
group also designed the famous cover art for the Arden Shakespeare Series.
She created the art for Coriolanus, King Richard III, MacBeth and Twelfth
Night. |
|
Jann Haworth left the Brotherhood (c. 1980) and shortly thereafter
returned to the United States. She settled in Provo, Utah, and founded the
Sundance Artshack Studio, where she presently works and teaches. A fine
printmaker, painter and sculptor, Jann Haworth has also written three books on
artistic training and teaching for children. Since 1970, her work has been
the subject of numerous exhibitions in both the United States and England.
Her art is today included in many public collections, including the Walker
Art Center, Minneapolis, and the Berardo Modern Art Collection, Lisbon,
Portugal. |
|
Some of Jann Haworth's recent British Pop shows were exibited
in Bilbao, Spain, Modena, Italy, the Tate, London and at the Mayor Gallery in London. |
