PETER LANYON Collaged Book Circa 1956 (See illustration) The book is a 1934 copy of 'The Story Of Cornwall' by A.K. Hamilton Jenkin. Upon the front cover under the title, Lanyon has pasted "THE WADDINGTON Guide" from printed cut outs. On the second page is pasted a piece of a compliments slip from Gimpel Fils Gallery, Lanyon's London dealers in Mayfair. In the book Lanyon is mischievously poking fun at his fellow artists; Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, Roger Hilton, John Wells and Bryan Wynter, who were all represented by The Waddington Galleries in Cork Street. Lanyon was the only 'native' Cornishman amongst the group, whereas the others were all 'incomers'. Various illustrated pages in the book have been 'doctored' by Lanyon and allude to jokes and tensions between the artists. The first photograph in the book is of the Tamar Bridge, to which has been added a tiny Peter Lanyon chiselling away at the base of the bridge, in order, we suppose, to bring it down and keep the foreigners out. The next collaged photograph is of Lanyon Quoit: A colour image of Patrick Heron is precariously placed upon the top of the quoit, with strings tied to his wrists and ankles. The strings are being pulled and controlled by two small Peter Lanyons on either side of the quoit. Scattered throughout the book are 14 carefully constructed collages featuring Lanyon's artists. In some, a head has been simply replaced; near the end of the book John Wells' head tops the suit of armour of the renowned seaman Sir Richard Grenville. On page 53, Terry Frost's head has been stuck onto the body of Anthony Payne, the Cornish Giant, he also holds one of his pictures which has been painted by Lanyon in grey. Bryan Wynter's head appears comically poking out of a fogou (a Cornish, pre-historic underground chamber). The page depicting the Merry Maidens stone circle, upon which several woman who look like magazine models have been superimposed (along with Lanyon and a dancing sailor) refers to an occasion when the hip London photographer Cornel Lucas was sent to Cornwall to photograph the St Ives artists with fashion models in their studios. It is not difficult to imagine the amusement this idea generated. The person most teased in these collages is Patrick Heron, who Lanyon had a falling out with over mining in Cornwall. In the most detailed collage, Heron stands firing a gun at a Cornish mining pump house, at his feet is a large self portrait in a heavy frame, whilst overhead, a glider, presumably containing Lanyon, swoops down like an attacking bird. We have not been able to identify the subjects in all the collages. Lanyon regularly sent satirical collaged cards to his friends and family but this book is a more unusual and elaborate creation. He had a wicked sense of humour and liked to poke fun at those that took themselves too seriously. Although we can only suppose what inspired this book, humour and satire were an important part of Lanyon and his work. Authenticated by Andrew Lanyon. From the effects of Sir Terry Frost. Condition Report: Book itself is in fair condition as are the collages.
