Sans pinceau le doigt seul place et fond chaque teinte; Le duvet du papier en conserve l’empreinte; Un crystal la défend; ainsi, de la beauté Le Pastel a l’éclat et la fragilité.1 It is at once line and colour – a sort of synthesis of the traditional opposition that had been debated vigorously by theoreticians such as Roger de Piles in the previous century.

To Robert Hunt Lyman '"PHE abundant literature written by and about James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and the widespread interest manifested in the artist and his works by art-lovers, critics, and collectors, provide the excuse for making this little Bibli- ography. It cannot pretend to be com- plete in all particulars, but will furnish a ready guide, it is hoped, to the more important writings and to the catalogues of the artist's paintings, etchings, and lithographs. Besides being a Master of the Brush, Pencil, and Etching Needle, and pretty handy with his Pen, Mr Whistler was a Master of the great art of attracting attention which is given to a carefully selected few of the earth's millions, by some well-planned scheme that accu- rately gauges the amount the universe can a i Writings by and about stand. This he cultivated and practised. From the West Point day, when he neglected to recall that \ silicon was not a gas, to his last hour he made himself the centre of interest in whatever circle he cared to affect until the world was his stage. Theatrical, eccentric, and quarrelsome according to the common view, he had, on the other hand, a nice idea of the re- quirements of advertising, and quite upset the ethics of his profession by his assiduity in keeping himself before the public until his merits as an artist were so clearly recognized as no longer to need what might be called the " playing up " of his personality.

Henri Fantin-Latour, Alphonse Legros, and James McNeill Whistler were amongst these hopeful artists in the 1850s. While each eventually created a thriving practise for himself, each also fought to establish his artistic career and identity during these early years. Because the narrative of a young, struggling artist is not an uncommon one, this stage is often brushed aside when examining the trajectory of these artists’ careers.

  • 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.

  • PORTRAIT and FIGURE DRAWINGS 1750 to 1900
    BRITISH PORTRAIT AND FIGURE DRAWINGS 1750 to 1900 GUY PEPPIATT FINE ART Guy Peppiatt started his working life at Dulwich Picture Gallery before joining Sotheby’s British Pictures department in 1993. He soon specialised in early British drawings and watercolours and took over the running of Sotheby’s Topographical and Travel sales. Topographical views, whether they be of Britain or worldwide, have remained an abiding passion. Guy left Sotheby’s in early 2004 and has worked as a dealer since then, first based at home, and now in his new gallery on Mason’s Yard, St James’s, shared with the Old Master and European Drawings dealer Stephen Ongpin. He advises clients and museums on their collections, buys and sells on their behalf and can provide insurance valuations. Guy also vets a number of art fairs and is Chairman of the Vetting Committee for the Works on Paper Fair. Our first portrait and figure drawing catalogue, and exhibition, was in 2009 and this is our second. Portraits on paper were cheaper and quicker to produce than oils and the market for them expanded rapidly from the 1760s onwards. Pastels, often on a large scale, were particularly popular as their ‘wall power’ was close to that of an oil. Gardner, Hoare of Bath, Cotes and John Russell were the most successful pastellists of the time and all worked on a large scale. Hugh Douglas Hamilton and John Raphael Smith tended to specialise in smaller, often oval, portraits in pastel and it is little known that Lawrence started his career as a pastellist.
