ISSUU Adopt a Watts 2016 S AdoptA WATTS Photograph of a young boy appreciating Nemesis G F Watts, Nemesis, Date unknown, gesso model possibly for the study of Hope An introduction by Perdita Hunt, Director of Watts Gallery - Artists’ Village dopt a Watts was an initiative launched in 2002 to secure the long term care and preservation of Watts Gallery Trust’s collection of Apaintings, sculpture and drawings by the most eminent Victorian artist, G F Watts OM RA (1817-1904). Over 100 artworks have been adopted and we are hugely grateful to our adopters, many of whom have been with us since the early days, to help create the momentum which has seen so many artworks safeguarded for the benefit of future generations. I am delighted to launch this beautifully illustrated book with excerpts written by our adopters many of whom have forged a personal bond with their chosen artwork - in celebration of a wedding anniversary or birthday, in memory of a loved one or simply because they have an emotional connection to a particular piece. As we look to the future, I am inspired by our adopters’ comments and support at such a crucial time for Watts Gallery Trust as we move forward with our ambition to complete an artists’ village as a national beacon for the Arts & Crafts movement, and to create an international network of artists’ studio-house museums. Our hope is that others will join the Adopt a Watts scheme as we work towards increasing the number of adopted works which are in desperate need of conservation. This will help us complete the displays at Watts Studios which opened to the public in the spring of 2016; and in the future, Limnerslease, the home G F Watts and his wife the ceramic artist, Mary Watts.

Watercolour Study for the Fresco 'Justice: A Hemicycle of Lawgivers' Adopted by Dr Jill Armitage and Tom Sawyer Watts probably first met my relative Edward Armitage when they were joint prizewinners in the 1842 competition for fresco designs for the new Palace of Westminster. Watts used his prize money to travel to Italy, stopping en route in Paris, where he stayed with Armitage. Armitage was training under Delaroche at the École des Beaux Arts and helping him with his massive mural, Hemicycle, based on Raphael’s School of Athens. Armitage would have taken Watts to see this, and it was almost certainly an inspiration for Watts’s later fresco at Lincoln’s Inn, Justice: A Hemicycle of Lawgivers, for which this watercolour was a preparatory study. Watts used a number of his friends as models, with Armitage modeling for the Earl of Pembroke, seen bottom right wearing chain mail and holding Magna Carta. The Adopt a Watts scheme provides an excellent means through which to support Watts Gallery - Artists’ Village, and we were delighted to be able to select this particular work. Standing Female Figure in Dress, Unidentified Portrait Study, Possibly for 'Helen Rose Huth' Adopted by Jane Bailey I am keen to support the Gallery and this scheme as I have watched with great admiration how the Artists’ Village has developed, like a ‘phoenix arising from the ashes’, jumping a century in ten years. It is inspirational to see how it is humming with vitality and ideas. When I first saw the drawingStanding Female Figure in a Dress I was struck by its beauty.

  • Edward Armitage RA, 19Th Fresco Paintings
    19th Century Fresco Paintings at St Marylebone Parish Church 1943 photographs showing war damage to windows and fabric and the frescoes painted by Edward Armitage, RA at first floor gallery level Looking to the North (Liturgical West) Looking to the South (Liturgical East) The fresco paintings (now painted over) on the first floor gallery level between the windows in St Marylebone Parish Church were carried out by the illustrious Victorian Royal Academician Sir Edward Armitage (20th May 1817 – 24th May 1896). Sir Edward Armitage, RA, Self-portrait (1882) Family background Armitage was born in London to a family of wealthy Yorkshire industrialists, the eldest of seven sons of James Armitage (1793–1872) and Anne Elizabeth Armitage née Rhodes (1788–1833), of Farnley Hall, just south of Leeds, Yorkshire. His great-grandfather James (1730–1803) bought Farnley Hall from Sir Thomas Danby in 1799 and in 1844 four Armitage brothers, including his father James, founded the Farnley Ironworks, utilising the coal, iron and fireclay on their estate. His brother Thomas Rhodes Armitage (1824– 1890) founded the Royal National Institute of the Blind. Armitage was the uncle of Robert Armitage (MP), the great-uncle of Robert Selby Armitage, and first cousin twice removed of Edward Leathley Armitage. Art Training Armitage's art training was undertaken in Paris, where he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in October 1837. He studied under the history painter, Paul Delaroche, who at that time was at the height of his fame. Armitage was one of four students selected to assist Delaroche with the fresco Hemicycle in the amphitheatre of the Palais des Beaux-Arts, when he reputedly modelled for the head of Masaccio.

We had too much material for the book and needed to give priority to international case studies so a number of UK case studies were reluctantly dropped from the final book, this one on Dulwich OnView, being one of them. Dulwich OnView was a blog project which I created and developed for the Friends of the Dulwich Picture Gallery and exemplifies the principles of non-hierarchical collaborative working and authentic engagement and trust which are found in successful social media projects. The project won the Best Small Museums Website 2010 at the Archimuse Conference, a major conference within the museums and heritage sector.

    Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair Paul Berger Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2015 Kimberly E. Hereford ii University of Washington Abstract Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History This dissertation examines representations in art of the Victorian woman in “altered states.” Though characterized in Victorian art in a number of ways, women are most commonly stereotyped as physically listless and mentally vacuous. The images examined show the Victorian female in a languid and at times reclining or supine pose in these representations. In addition, her demeanor implies both emotional and physical depletion, and there is both a pronounced abandonment of the physical and a collapsing effect, as if all mental faculties are withdrawing inward. Each chapter is dedicated to examining one of these distinct but interrelated types of femininity that flourished throughout British and American art from c. 1850 to c. 1910. The chapters for this dissertation are organized sequentially to demonstrate a selected progression of various states of consciousness, from the most obvious (the sleeping woman) to iii the more nuanced (the female Aesthete and the female medium). In each chapter, there is the visual perception of the Victorian woman as having access to otherworldly conditions of one form or another.

  • Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914
    / Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Submission fcr PhD. University College, London. 1985 1 Abstract. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Military Themes in British Painting 1815-1914. This thesis examines the treatment of the Bzitish Army and military themes, in painting, during the period 1815- 1914. All the works discussed were exhibited at the Royal Academy, which, although it underwent modifications in status, remained the nearest equivalent to a State Institution for Art in Britain. All the paintings shown there were painted with the knowledge that they were to be seen by the controllers of the Academy and the dominant classes of society. It will be inferred then, that the paintings shown there may be taken to have been acceptable to ruling class ideologies, and are therefore instructive of "official" attitudes to military art. Representations of the contemporary Army, in this period, fell into two main catagories - battle paintings and genre depictions of soldiers. Chapters one to three survey battle paintings; studying the relation of this genre to the Academy; the relative popularity of the genre and the career patterns of its practioners. The critical reception of battle pictures at the Academy and certain important public competitions will be noted and considered in the context of contemporary ideologies about art and about the Army and its men. Chapter four discusses the vital concept of "heroism" and its treatment in English military art. In particular, the reasons for the popularity of certain military figures above their peers, in academic art, will be explored. It will be argued that the process of "hero-making" in art was not determined by professional success alone, but was often the result of the intervention of patrons, publicists and pressure groups.

I assert that Cameron's writings are a crucial part of literary and photographic history because they provide a multi-faceted vision of women as strong autonomous figures who also revere their roles as daughters, wives and mothers.
