‘By 1948 a block of thirteen Porthmeor studios [in St Ives] was bought by the Arts Council to be amortised by rentals from artists. They were large spaces with high ceilings and several had huge north windows overlooking the sea. Barns-Graham had No. 2; in 1949 Ben Nicholson obtained No. 5. In 1950 Nicholson interceded with Philip James, head of the Arts Council, to get No. 4, next door to his own, for Terry … In St Ives, Terry Frost began to develop the abstraction begun with Madrigal, with two related themes known today as the Movement and Walk Along the Quay paintings. He was still living at 12 Quay Street, and his oldest son Adrian was about 2. Every morning at first light he would take Adrian for a saunter around the harbour. St Ives was still a working fishing port in those days’ (see D. Lewis, op. cit., p. 48).
