MERVYN PEAKE THE ARTIST Art. Invited by the BBC in 1947 to talk about his art, Mervyn Peake gave two ten-minute talks under the general title “As I See It”. The first talk concerned the particular way in which an artist looks at the world of physical objects. Called the “Artist’s World”, the talk was broadcast on the 26th May 1947. MERVYN PEAKE THE NOVELIST AND AUTHOR OF GORMENGHAST Letters from a Lost Uncle from Polar Regions, a collection of letters written by an adventurer to his nephew in England. Originally written in 1945 the book was well-received but produced on poor quality paper. Mervyn Peake made several points to the publisher about the way it had been presented and eventually it was withdrawn. MERVYN PEAKE THE ILLUSTRATOR Illustration. In Mervyn Peake’s talk broadcast by the BBC in September 1947, he describes how he became diverted from painting to book illustration: “All my life I have been painting and making drawings, but I only started illustrating books after I was conscripted in 1940.”. Asked to illustrate The Hunting of the Snarkin 1941, he set

Rottcodd & The Hall of the Bright Carvings. This hall that ran along the top story of the north wing was presided over by the curator, Rottcodd, who, as no one ever visited the room, slept during most of his life in the hammock he had erected at the far end. For all his dozing, he had never been known to relinquish the feather duster fromhis
GORMENGHAST
The Poet of Gormenghast. It was a wedge, a sliver, a grotesque slice in which it seemed the features had been forced to stake their claims, and it appeared that they had done so in a great hurry, and with no attempt to form any kind of symmetrical pattern for their mutualadvantage.

Gormenghast, that is, the main massing of the original stone, taken by itself would have displayed a certain ponderous architectural quality were it possible to have ignored the circumfusion of those mean dwellings that swarmed like an epidemic around its outer walls.GORMENGHAST
Fuchsia took three paces forward in the first of the attics and then paused a moment to re-tie a string above her knee. Over her head vague rafters loomed and while she straightened her-self she noticed them and unconsciously loved them. This was the lumber room. Though very long and lofty it looked relatively smaller than it was, for theGORMENGHAST
Fuchsia Groan. Fuchsia - ink drawing. As his lord stared at the door another figure appeared, a girl of about fifteen with long, rather wild black hair. She was gauche in movement and in a sense, ugly of face, but with how small a twist might she not suddenly have become beautiful. Her sullen mouth was full and rich – her eyes smouldered.GORMENGHAST
Doctor Alfred Prunesquallor. Young Steerpike glued his eye to the hole, keeping the heavy gold frame from swinging back with his shoulder. All at once he found himself contemplating a narrrow-chested man with a shock of grey hair and glasses which magnified his eyes so that they filled the lenses up to their gold rims, when the central door opened, and a dark figure stole forth, closing the MERVYN PEAKE, THE OFFICIAL SITE* Home

MERVYN PEAKE, SON OF SARK Stephen Foote has collaborated with Christian Peake and produced the most informative book about Mervyn Peake's life on Sark. It's fascinating to see just how much the island influenced Peake and his work. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's interested in that period of his life - which, of course included much of the writing of Gormenghast. He also lived there in his twenties when he was part of the art collective, The Sark Group. Copies are available from the publisher, Blue Ormer.

CAPTAIN SLAUGHTERBOARD EXHIBITION The illustrations for Captain Slaughterboard are to be exhibited at the Kunstmuseum in Luzern.
It's a fascinating angle too. Once again, Mervyn Peake was working on ideas before they had become so mainstream.. "The British author and draftsman Mervyn Peake (1911-1968) created a figure with Yellow Creature already in 1939, which in every drawing between woman and man, animal and man 'changiert' and while still faithful above all remains faithful to itself. Yellow Creature is therefore the title for the group exhibition, which focuses on the relationship between gender and genres." A new German edition of "Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor" will be available from the museum.06/27/2016 04:48 PM

Sixty years on, the world of Titus Groan and his castle remains as contemporary now as when first published in 1946. It is generally accepted that the Gormenghast trilogy as a whole offers one of the most original and sustained flights of imaginative writing of the 20th century and Mervyn Peake is best remembered for this timeless and highly influential work. Now translated into over thirty languages, to be joined shortly by Mandarin. Less well known however, is his prolific output as a painter and writer of children’s books, nonsense verse, and work as a war artist, poet, and illustrator. Such classic texts as _Treasure Island, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Ancient Mariner, Swiss Family Robinson, The Hunting of the Snark,_ _Bleak House _and others were illustrated, resulting in idiosyncratic interpretations immediately recognisable as his own. Texts were read closely before any drawings were committed to paper, though the description of the characters in the books, the location and atmosphere being brought to life, acted as the sole guide for his eagle eye, with the published drawings often remaining imprinted for ever on the reader’s visual mind. This completely new and comprehensive website aims to display as many of the above talents as possible while the motivating rationale behind the enlargement of the site was the dedication to presenting work of the whole artist, rather than the parts. He was after all, as some have suggested, the incarnation of Renaissance man. All material © The Mervyn Peake Estate.Visitors:
