Sir George James Frampton,RA(18 June 1860 – 21 May 1928) was a British sculptor. He was a leading member of theNew Sculpturemovement in his early career when he created sculptures with elements ofArt NouveauandSymbolism,often combining various materials such as marble and bronze in a single piece.[1]While his later works were more traditional in style, Frampton had a prolific career in which he created many notable public monuments, including several statues ofQueen Victoriaand later, after World War I, a number of war memorials.[1]These included theEdith Cavell Memorialin London, which, along with thePeter Pan statueinKensington Gardensare possibly Frampton's best known works.[1]
Biography
[edit]Early life
[edit]Frampton was born on 18 June 1860 in London, where his father was a woodcarver and stonemason.[2]George Frampton began his own working life as a stone carver in 1878, working on theHôtel de Villein Paris.[2]Frampton returned to London to study underWilliam Silver Frithat theSouth London Technical School of Artduring 1880 and 1881.[3]He went on to theRoyal Academy Schoolswhere, between 1881 and 1887, he won a gold medal and travelling scholarship.[3]While still studying at the Royal Academy, Frampton undertook a number of sculpture commissions including, in 1885, pieces for the facade of both the Constitutional Club inNorthumberland Avenueand for the Chelsea Conservative Club.[2]He also created analtarpieceforManchester Cathedral,some decorative pieces for theHenry Fawcett Memorialin London and a pair of terracotta figures representingConcordandIndustrywhich were exhibited in Paris and purchased for theMunicipal BuildinginChristchurch,New Zealand.[4]From 1887 to 1890, he studied and worked at the studio ofAntonin Merciein Paris, where he also studied painting underPascal Dagnan-BouveretandGustave Courtois.[2][5]

Frampton returned to England and, briefly, worked in the studio of SirJoseph Edgar Boehm.[2]He then took up a teaching post at theSlade School of Artin 1893 and was also, for a year, the joint head of theCentral School of Arts and Crafts.[4][6]
In 1893, Frampton married the artistChristabel Cockerelland the couple set up home together atSt John's Woodin London. Together they designed a decorative frieze for the interior of the house and Frampton began to design household fittings, jewellery in enamel and precious metals and also medals, most notably forGlasgow UniversityandWinchester College.[4]By this time, Frampton was, according to the criticM.H. Spielmann"in open rebellion against white sculpture". In 1893, he showedMysteriarch,a polychromatic plaster bust withSymbolismmotifs at the Royal Academy and, two years later he showed another polychromatic work,Mother and Childat the same venue.Mother and Childhas bronze figures, of Frampton's wife and son, set against a copper plaque, and a white enamel disc behind the mother's head.[4][7]
In his statue ofDame Alice Owen(1897) Frampton combined bronze, alabaster, gilding and marble, and, later, with the bustLamia(1899-1900) he contrasted an ivory head and neck with bronze clothing inlaid with opals.[2][8][9]The statue ofDame Alice Owenwas originally shown at the Royal Academy as a free-standing statue but when it was installed in the entry hall of Owen's School Frampton made it the centre of a larger installation that he designed. In panels and niches around the statue, which he placed on a pink marble pedestal, Frampton included 16th-century carvings of Owen's ancestors and fragments of her 17th-century tomb.[10]
In 1896, Frampton exhibited, with the architectCharles Harrison Townsend,a large fireplace in American walnut at theArts and Crafts Exhibition Society.The fireplace was decorated with an innovative tree and foliage design by Frampton that was subsequently much imitated byArt NouveauandArts and Craftsdesigners and became known as the "Frampton tree". Frampton used a similar design in his 1897 memorial toCharles Mitchellfor St George's Church inJesmondin Newcastle upon Tyne.[4]

Frampton's body of work in the 1880s brought him considerable recognition. TheUniversity of St Andrewsawarded him an honorary doctorate in 1894. In 1897, examples of Frampton's work featured at theVenice Biennaleand at theVienna Secessionthe following year.[2][10]He regularly exhibited at theLa Libre Esthétiquein Brussels, a city he considered an important market for his work.[10]For the four pieces he showed at the Paris International Exhibition in 1900, Frampton was awarded the Grand Prix.[4][10]Those works includedMy Thoughts Are My Children,1894, a large polychromic relief in bronze in a wooden frame depicting a woman holding a lily surrounded by drapery under a second female figure holding an infant and two children in front of a symbol of a rising sun. The work appears to have had a special significance to Frampton as he frequently chose it to represent his work at other major international exhibitions and kept the piece in his possession throughout his life. The work passed to his son,Meredith Frampton,who eventually donated it to theWalker Art Galleryin Liverpool.[10]
Recognition also brought Frampton two significant public commissions at this time. The architectJohn William Simpsonappointed Frampton as master sculptor for the decoration of the facade of theKelvingrove Art Gallery and Museumin Glasgow.[4]As well as overseeing the work of several other sculptors, Frampton created a bronze sculpture group and three sets of stonespandrelsfor the north porch of the new building.[11]The sculpture group, of St Mungo attended by the muses of Art and Music, in the central arch of the porch contains Symbolism style motifs featuring trees, bells and fishes similar to those Frampron had used in some of his earlier smaller pieces.[4]Frampton's other commission was for a frieze on the facade of theLloyd's Registerbuilding inFenchurch Streetin London. There, Frampton created, at first floor level, a frieze in Portland stone of female figures representing Trade, Commerce and Shipping with four bronze statuettes at key points.[4][12]Both commissions, but especially the Fenchurch Street frieze, were widely praised at the time.[4]
Later career
[edit]In April 1897, a public meeting in Calcutta (nowKolkata) agreed to raise funds to mark theDiamond JubileeofQueen Victoriaand, eventually, commissioned Frampton to create a statue of the monarch.[10][13]Photographs of Frampton's model for the statue were published in the July 1898 edition ofThe Studio.The accompanying text described a figure over twice life-size, seated under a canopy, wearing the robe of theOrder of the Star of India,decorated in gold, ivory andlapis lazuli.A polychrome plaster version was displayed at the Glasgow Exhibition of 1901 and was greatly praised for its depiction of the elderly queen.[10]The completed statue was shipped to India early in 1901 and erected on a temporary site in March 1902.[4]Although the statue sent to India was considerably less ornate and lacked the canopy of the original proposal, Frampton's completed work included two putti in a New Sculpture style above the back of the throne plus two miniature infantrymen on the pedestal and a small figure of St George held by the Queen.[4][14]The statue was subsequently moved to a location in front of theVictoria Memorial,where it was sited on a large architectural podium.[4]Lord Curzon,the driving force behind the Memorial project, came to dislike Frampton's depiction of an elderly and vulnerable Victoria and commissionedThomas Brockto create a second statue, in marble, of a younger Queen to be placed in the central hall of the completed building.[10]
The death of Queen Victoria in January 1901 led to Frampton receiving several commissions for memorials to the Queen. Frampton based several of these on his design of a seated figure he used for the Kolkata statue but with some variations. He used the same cast for the statues inLeedsandSt Helensbut changed the style of the decorative details and pedestals between them.[15][16]A further version was created for the grounds of theManitoba Legislative Buildingin Winnipeg in 1904.[17]A different design of a much younger, standing Victoria was created for theRoyal Victoria Infirmaryin Newcastle upon Tyne in 1906 and was unveiled by her son KingEdward VIIin the same year.[18]
Among Frampton's other notable public sculptures are the figures ofPeter Panplaying a set of pipes, the lions at theBritish Museumand theEdith Cavell Memorialthat stands outside theNational Portrait Gallery,London.[5]
Frampton's originalstatue of Peter PaninKensington Gardens,London, was commissioned byJ.M. Barriein 1912. Barrie was said to be disappointed at Frampton's depiction of Peter Pan, in particular at his choice of model for the figure of the boy.[19]However such was the popularity of the statue, six more casts were made which are now situated in:
- Perth,Western Australia, Australia
- Parc d'Egmont, Brussels, Belgium
- Bowring Park, St. John's,Newfoundland, Canada
- Toronto,Canada
- Sefton Park,Liverpool, England
- Camden, New Jersey,United States.
By March 1905,Aston Webb,the architect of theCromwell Roadextension to theVictoria and Albert Museumhad commissioned over twenty sculptors to provide statues, carvings and decorations for the facade of the building. Webb allocated what he considered the two most important areas to Frampton andAlfred Drury.[4]The area over the main entrance arch was allocated to Frampton who createdspandrelfigures ofTruthandBeautyfor the space while the remainder of the main entrance was assigned to Drury.[20]
A number of Frampton's works can be seen at the restoredSt James' Church, Warterin East Yorkshire. Frampton createdDr Barnardo's Memorial,inBarkingside,London, in 1908, a work he undertook without claiming a fee.[21]
DuringWorld War IFrampton used his position in various art societies and institutions to expel any German members he considered potential "enemy aliens". When theArt Workers Guildrefused to expel Karl Krall, a British citizen born in Germany, Frampton resigned from the Guild.[19]In 1915, Frampton was commissioned to create a public memorial toEdith Cavell.Having waived his fee for the work, Frampton's modernist style monument in marble and granite was unveiled to huge crowds nearTrafalgar Squarein central London during 1920.[22]The severe, modern appearance of the memorial is distinct from Frampton's earlier, more heroic style of Boer War memorials and was criticised as such.[23]Several contemporary sculptors also criticised the design and the engineering of the monument.[22]

Frampton subsequently worked withSir Edwin Lutyenson two of the architect's war memorials in the aftermath of the First World War, theHove War Memorialin East Sussex and theFordham War Memorialin Cambridgeshire, unveiled in February and August 1921 respectively. Both feature a bronze statue of Saint George, sculpted by Frampton atop a column designed by Lutyens.[24]
Personal life
[edit]Frampton's first house and studio was at 32 Queen's Grove (where a blue plaque to his name has been erected), but he later built a larger house nearby in Carlton Hill,[25]both inSt John's Wood,London. He was married to the artistChristabel Cockerelland had one son, the painter and etcherMeredith Frampton.[5]
Frampton, like several of his contemporaries, referred to himself as an "art worker" rather than an artist or sculptor and championed the equality of artistic work with craft or decorative practices.[10]He was an active member of TheArt Workers' Guildand became Master in 1902.[26]He sculpted the Art Workers' Guild's Master's Jewel in silver representing 'Art is Unity'. Frampton became a royal academician in 1902 and was knighted in 1908.[27]
Death
[edit]Frampton died on 21 May 1928 aged 67 and was cremated atGolders Green Crematoriumon 25 May. His ashes lie in a niche on the ground floor of the east wing of the Ernest George Columbarium. A memorial sculpted byErnest Gillickin 1930 depicting a bronze child holding a miniature copy of Frampton's statue of Peter Pan is located in the Crypt ofSt. Paul's Cathedral.[19]
