  • In South Kensington, C. 1850-1900
    JEWELS OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM: GENDERED AESTHETICS IN SOUTH KENSINGTON, C. 1850-1900 PANDORA KATHLEEN CRUISE SYPEREK PH.D. HISTORY OF ART UCL 2 I, PANDORA KATHLEEN CRUISE SYPEREK confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ______________________________________________ 3 ABSTRACT Several collections of brilliant objects were put on display following the opening of the British Museum (Natural History) in South Kensington in 1881. These objects resemble jewels both in their exquisite lustre and in their hybrid status between nature and culture, science and art. This thesis asks how these jewel-like hybrids – including shiny preserved beetles, iridescent taxidermised hummingbirds, translucent glass jellyfish as well as crystals and minerals themselves – functioned outside of normative gender expectations of Victorian museums and scientific culture. Such displays’ dazzling spectacles refract the linear expectations of earlier natural history taxonomies and confound the narrative of evolutionary habitat dioramas. As such, they challenge the hierarchies underlying both orders and their implications for gender, race and class. Objects on display are compared with relevant cultural phenomena including museum architecture, natural history illustration, literature, commercial display, decorative art and dress, and evaluated in light of issues such as transgressive animal sexualities, the performativity of objects, technologies of visualisation and contemporary aesthetic and evolutionary theory. Feminist theory in the history of science and new materialist philosophy by Donna Haraway, Elizabeth Grosz, Karen Barad and Rosi Braidotti inform analysis into how objects on display complicate nature/culture binaries in the museum of natural history.

  • EDNA CLARKE HALL's POEM PICTURES in the EARLY 1920S
    SELF-ORDERING CREATIVITY AND AN INDEPENDENT WORK SPACE: EDNA CLARKE HALL’S POEM PICTURES IN THE EARLY 1920s by KATHRYN EMMA FLEMING MURRAY A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTERS OF PHILOSOPHY (B) in History of Art College of Arts and Law School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music Department of History of Art University of Birmingham January 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the Poem Pictures made by Edna Clarke Hall (1879-1979) in the early 1920s signify new approaches to the treatment of ‘neuroses’ in British psychiatry following World War One, and contends that the artist’s biography is pertinent to understanding the production and meaning of these works. These hypotheses are demonstrated by considering Dr Henry Head’s responses to Clarke Hall when she sought his aid in 1920, following a period of emotional imbalance and physical illness. The thesis proposes that the philosophies underlying Head’s advice can be traced, via his acquaintance with psychiatrist Dr W.H.R.

  • A Study of Winifred Knights, 1915-1933
    A Study of Winifred Knights, 1915-1933 Rosanna Eckersley Department of Art History and World Art Studies University of East Anglia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any formation derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Winifred Knights, 1899-1947, was a student at the Slade School of Art from 1915, where she developed a decorative manner of rhythmic, repetitive forms, one form of cautious modernism. In 1920 she was the first woman to win the Rome Prize in Decorative Painting. The award was for three years at the British School at Rome. Knights often chose to base her paintings on biblical subjects, or the lives of saints. She was not religious and I argue that these stories, which were well-known in Britain at the time, were vehicles to represent the lives of women and families in the unsettled years during and after WWI. Many women artists have depicted domestic scenes, but Knights chose the exterior and multi-figure compositions, including many self-portraits. She used these compositions to explore women‟s vulnerability, rebellion against male control, maternity and the self-sufficiency of a women‟s community. Personal material is present in all her work and much of it deals with the traumas she suffered.

  • Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (Active Before 1945)
    Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (active before 1945) Compiled by Susan V. Craig, Art & Architecture Librarian Univ. of Kansas August 2006 1 This book began with a 1981 reference question about John Noble, a name I did not recognize despite having studied art history and worked as an art librarian for more than 10 years. Learning that John Noble was a Kansas artist, I went looking for the best available book on Kansas art only to learn the resources were few. As a new faculty member at the Univ. of Kansas, I needed to establish a research project so I decided to prepare a dictionary of Kansas artists thus fulfilling both the research requirement and educating myself about the history of the visual arts in my native state; I just didn't intend the project to take 25 years or realize that I would have more than 1750 entries in the dictionary. I began by defining the scope of the work: • "Kansas artist" was loosely defined as artists who were both born in the state as well as artists who were born elsewhere but were artistically active in Kansas. Under this latter definition, I included artists who produced significant artworks such as the murals installed in Kansas post offices. Occasionally, artists who lived or worked primarily in Kansas City, MO may be included. I did not deliberately include all Kansas City artists but neither did I exclude them if the name came from a Kansas source such as the Kansas State Gazetteer. • Another choice I made was to look for artists who were artistically active before 1945.

  • Gender Ideology and Shakespeare's Female Characters
    1 VICTORIAN VOICES: GENDER IDEOLOGY AND SHAKESPEARE’S FEMALE CHARACTERS A dissertation presented by Mary Balestraci to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts May, 2012 2 VICTORIAN VOICES: GENDER IDEOLOGY AND SHAKESPEARE’S FEMALE CHARACTERS by Mary Balestraci ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English In the Graduate School of Northeastern University May, 2012 3 Abstract The Victorians loved Shakespeare and, during this period, the study of Shakespeare became a popular form of education for middle class women, some of whom began writing about the female characters who populated these plays. Ongoing debates about the inherent nature of womanhood and the role of women in society—collectively known as the Woman Question—were also taking place in England at this time. These two areas converge in the writing produced by nineteenth-century female critics who used their criticism of Shakespeare’s female characters to express their views about Victorian gender ideology. Through their commentary on Shakespeare’s plays, Anna Jameson, Constance O’Brien, Grace Latham, Helena Faucit, and Madeleine Leigh-Noel Elliott reveal their own conceptions of gender by affirming, challenging, or rejecting many of the accepted Victorian gender norms that they identify in Shakespeare’s female characters. Several of the characters that these critics discuss fall into distinct categories: there are the tragic innocents—Ophelia, Desdemona, and Cordelia; the defiant daughters and dutiful wives—Juliet, Katherine, and Lady Macbeth; and the wise and witty women—Portia, Beatrice, and Rosalind.

    WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: THE CRITICAL HERITAGE VOLUME 6, 1774–1801 THE CRITICAL HERITAGE SERIES General Editor: B.C.Southam The Critical Heritage series collects together a large body of criticism on major figures in literature. Each volume presents the contemporary responses to a particular writer, enabling the student to follow the formation of critical attitudes to the writer’s work and its place within a literary tradition. The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to fragments of contemporary opinion and little published documentary material, such as letters and diaries. Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included in order to demonstrate fluctuations in reputation following the writer’s death.

  • Reconsidering Professionalism: Women, Space and Art in England, 1880-1914 Maria Patricia Quirk Bachelor of Arts (Hons 1A)
    Reconsidering Professionalism: Women, Space and Art in England, 1880-1914 Maria Patricia Quirk Bachelor of Arts (Hons 1A) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry 1 Abstract The expansion of women’s participation in the fine and illustrative arts occurred concurrently to the professionalisation of those fields, but women’s relationship with artistic professionalism was fragile and ill defined. Their pathways towards “becoming” professional did not universally conform to the criteria and benchmarks that had come to represent the professional artist ideal. The fact that professional women artists were primarily middle-class in origin further complicated their relationship with traditional understandings of female labour; the working experiences of middle-class, female workers were difficult for their contemporaries to categorise and remain elusive today. This thesis examines what happened when middle-class women artists used their education and talent for the purposes of earning a living, rather than for pleasure and refinement. It defines what qualifications, attributes and achievements women needed to possess in order to separate themselves from the ubiquitous cultural stereotype of female amateurism, and be recognised by their peers and the broader public as professionals—that is, serious practitioners who dedicated their working lives to the production of art. The framework of professionalism is thus utilised for the purposes of assessing which of its standards and markers women had to possess in order to practice and be perceived as viable working artists. This is achieved by evaluating the usefulness and necessity of key professional mechanisms and spaces to women artists’ professional legitimacy: art schools, artistic societies, studio spaces, art dealerships, commercial galleries and publishing houses.
