Trevor Bell (b. 1930)
Trevor Bell was born in Leeds, England in 1930. By the early 1950?s abstract art was at a turning point inspired by Picasso and Kandinsky. In America the proponents were de Kooning, Hofmann, Kline, Motherwell, Pollack and Rothko. In Britain it was led by Patrick Heron, Roger Hilton, Ben Nicholson and Victor Pasmore. Trevor Bell was a leading member working in St Ives. In 1958 he had a successful one-man exhibition at the Waddington Galleries in London and was awarded the Paris Biennale International Painting Prize. In 1962 Bell became a Gregory Fellow in Painting at Leeds University. In the 1970?s he was appointed Senior Professor at Florida State University where he maintained a studio for twenty-five years. He moved his studio back to Cornwall in 1996 and continues to be one of the foremost pioneering modern artists working in England.
