class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeorge Dannatt (1915-2009)  was a British abstract artist closely associated with the St Ives movement and the development of post-war British abstraction. Unusually, he came to painting through several other careers. He trained as a chartered surveyor in his father's practice and later worked as a music critic, experiences that informed the strong sense of structure, rhythm and balance that would become characteristic of his work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA pivotal moment came in 1955 when his brother, the architect Trevor Dannatt, introduced him to the painter Adrian Heath. Through Heath, Dannatt became part of an influential circle of artists that included Patrick Heron, Terry Frost, John Wells, Denis Mitchell and Alexander Mackenzie. He would go on to become a member of both the Penwith Society and the Newlyn Society, establishing himself as an important figure within the St Ives artistic community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing inspiration from both landscape and abstraction, Dannatt developed a visual language built around carefully considered relationships between line, form and space. His background in surveying is often reflected in the precision of his compositions, while his lifelong interest in music can be sensed in the rhythm and movement of his work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShield Landscape\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mixed-media work combining screenprint with hand-applied ink and paint.
