TQ2685NE RUDALL CRESCENT 798-1/27/1409 (South West side) 14/05/74 No.13A Penn Studio (Formerly Listed as: RUDALL CRESCENT Penn Studio (to rear of No.13))

II

Studio, set behind No.13 Rudall Crescent (not included). c1880-1900. Rendered brick. Gabled slate roof, hipped over canted end; cast-iron finial. EXTERIOR: single storey. Canted front with stepped band cornice, parapet and coping. Large moulded panel double door with 2 x 6 pane overlight and keystone reaching into cornice. Sash window to right. The studio extends back behind this front, rising to full height of roof pitch with pine boarding; glazed lights to hip over canted end and skylight to south pitch of roof. INTERIOR: not inspected but noted to have a sculpture gallery at eaves level. Opposite entrance at far end of studio, a staircase leads up to a gallery, having pierced splay balusters of slightly Art Nouveau detail. Adjoining at angle to left hand side is a bedroom with lantern light. HISTORICAL NOTE: plaque commemorating the residence of artist Mark Gertler from 1915-32. Some of his most important painting was carried out here, in particular "Merry-go-Round" and the still lives. His brief foray into sculpture with the "Acrobats" of 1916 was executed in the studio and the gantry may be associated with this, although the studio was later occupied by the sculptor Roselli. Here he was visited by Aldous Huxley, Dora Carrington, John and Paul Nash, and Richard Carline as well as by DH Lawrence, Roger Fry, Lady Ottoline Morrell and members of the Bloomsbury set with whom he was associated.
