To appropriate something means to make it proper, to make it one’s own and thus to integrate it, to incorporate it, thereby giving it a new life. Because it becomes one’s property, one imparts it with one’s own being: what one knows, what one hates, what one likes, what one chooses, is. Then the appropriated is cut off from its former self and becomes other, transformed, re-created.1 Stanley Spencer constantly appropriated sacred texts (revealing the impossibility for him to cut off old links, to achieve a “rupture”) and incorporated them in his own world imposing distortions and other unusual plastic treatments to the forms, thereby shocking his contemporaries.

  • The Differential Impact of War and Trauma on Kosovar Albanian Women Living in Post-War Kosova
    The Differential Impact of War and Trauma on Kosovar Albanian Women Living in Post-War Kosova Hanna Kienzler Department of Anthropology McGill University, Montreal June 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2010 Hanna Kienzler Abstract The war in Kosova had a profound impact on the lives of the civilian population and was a major cause of material destruction, disintegration of social fabrics and ill health. Throughout 1998 and 1999, the number of killings is estimated to be 10,000 with the majority of the victims being Kosovar Albanian killed by Serbian forces. An additional 863,000 civilians sought or were forced into refuge outside Kosova and 590,000 were internally displaced. Moreover, rape and torture, looting, pillaging and extortion were committed. The aim of my dissertation is to rewrite aspects of the recent belligerent history of Kosova with a focus on how history is created and transformed through bodily expressions of distress. The ethnographic study was conducted in two Kosovar villages that were hit especially hard during the war. In both villages, my research was based on participant observation which allowed me to immerse myself in Kosovar culture and the daily activities of the people under study. The dissertation is divided into four interrelated parts.The first part is based on published accounts describing how various external power regimes affected local Kosovar culture, and how the latter was continuously transformed by the local population throughout history. The second part focuses on collective memories and explores how villagers construct their community‟s past in order to give meaning to their everyday lives in a time of political and economic upheaval.

  • Berkshire to Beijing Stanley Spencer, That Most English and Eccentric of Painters, Visited Chinal Just Before the Cultural Revolution
    guardian.co.uk Berkshire to Beijing Stanley Spencer, that most English and eccentric of painters, visited Chinal just before the Cultural Revolution. Patrick Wright on a trip that mixed high art with low comedy and personal tragedy Patrick Wright The Guardian, Saturday 17 March 2001 He is one of the most original and accomplished painters of the 20th century, and yet he is also synonymous with a peculiarly English eccentricity. He is the artist who treated Cookham, the little Thameside village where he lived, as the measure of all experience. He is the prophet of divine sexuality who, at the second post, fell humiliated victim to a fortune-seeking lesbian. When Timothy Hyman and I set out to curate Tate Britain's new exhibition of Stanley Spencer's work, we realised that we would have to fight our way through the bizarre collection of fragmentary anecdotes that now shape his memory. Many concern Spencer's chaotic sex life, but the one that I found most enigmatic was different. It is recorded, in various memoirs, that in the autumn of 1954, this most English of painters left his home in Berkshire to visit Beijing, where he would inform Chou En-lai, the communist premier, that "I feel at home in China because I feel that Cookham is somewhere near, only just around the corner". The very idea of Spencer in China seems inherently unlikely. Indeed, it has been suggested that he was almost certainly invited by accident, after the authorities got him muddled up with the then radical poet, Stephen Spender.

When I was conducting field research in that area, in 1995 and 1996, it had approximately 70 houses and 400 inhabitants. It is the only Macedonian-speaking village in that district. It does not belong to the group of Macedonian villages located on the Albanian shore of the Great Prespa Lake, who form the majority of the Macedonian minority in South-eastern Albania, and its inhabitants are willing to differentiate themselves from those of the Prespa villages.

  • SUMMARY 1900-1950 Dr
    SUMMARY 1900-1950 Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] www.shafe.uk British art pursues a different path to European art. The two overlap but following WWI the ‘return to order’ is stronger in Britain. Also, there is a stronger tradition of figurative art in all its forms. 1. New Ways of Seeing 2. Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism 3. Cubism and Abstraction 4. Vorticism and WWI Art 5. Return to order and Stanley Spencer 6. Dada, Surrealism and Expressionism 7. British Sculpture 8. WW2 Art 9. British Figurative art • About three paintings from each week are shown as a summary and reminder. • British art divides into two periods, 1900 to 1950 and 1950 to the present day. In the first period the majority of British art, although not all, follows in the tradition of nineteenth-century art with some twentieth-century influences from the Continent. 1 • In the second period British art blossoms on the world stage starting with the development of Pop Art. From Pop Art onwards the majority of the art being promoted by the establishment continues to be significant on the world stage. In this case ‘the establishment’ is the Royal Academy and the Turner Prize, Tate Modern and the high prices commanded at the leading auctioneers. In parallel, the British tradition of figurative art continues and in photorealism the two briefly combine as a leading art movement demonstrates that technical proficiency is one aspect of the avant garde exploration of representation. 1 NEW WAYS OF SEEING: MODERN BRITISH ART 1.

  • Hepworth, Dorothy (1898-1978), and Patricia Preece (1900-1971) by Tee A
    Hepworth, Dorothy (1898-1978), and Patricia Preece (1900-1971) by Tee A. Corinne Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com British artist Dorothy Hepworth may have produced most of the art sold under the name of her partner and collaborator Patricia Preece, which received major attention between the World Wars. The two women met while they were students at the Slade School of Art in London in 1917. They shared a studio in London until 1921, when they moved to Paris to study, Hepworth at Colarossi's studio and Preece at the more experimental André L'hôte. The two women returned to England in 1925 and became part of the Bloomsbury circle. Hepworth was diffident, retiring, and mannish in her style of dress. In contrast, Preece was fashionable, attractive, and social. Although they signed all of their paintings with Patricia Preece's name, Hepworth may have produced most of the art. Because of Hepworth's diffidence, Preece dealt with the public and with art galleries and dealers. The couple had some fear of being known as lesbians and, at times, claimed to be sisters. Preece was known to refer to herself as "née Hepworth." In 1927, for Hepworth's health, they settled in Cookham on Thames, Berkshire, England, a country village where, with Hepworth's father's help, they purchased a house. Hepworth's father sent monthly checks to supplement the women's meager income; however, on his death in November 1930, it was learned that he had lost his fortune in the stock market crash of 1929.

  • British Figurative Painters of the 20Th Century Whose Development Can Be Adequately Discussed Without Reference to Sickert's Subject-Matter Or Innovative Techniques
    • Question from last week • Where is the Fry Art Gallery that has Eric Ravilious Tea at Furlongs (1939)? The Fry Art Gallery is an art gallery in Saffron Walden, Essex that is best known for its displays of work by the Great Bardfield Artists, including Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious. The Great Bardfield Artists were a community of artists living in Great Bardfield, north west Essex. They were diverse in style but shared a love for figurative art, making the group distinct from the better known St Ives School of artists in St Ives, Cornwall, who, after the war, were chiefly dominated by abstractionists. • Figurative art runs as a theme through all British art. The extremes of modernism—Fauvism, Dada, Surrealism and even abstraction—never took hold in Britain but there was a continued interest in the human body, psychological insights and representing the full range of emotions. This means that most of the artists we have dealt with have been figurative, that is not abstract, artists. • This means it has been difficult to choose a small number of artists to represent the tradition and I have selected painters who stayed with the figurative tradition throughout their lives with the exception of Victor Pasmore as I use his work to create a link with British art of the 1950s and 60s. 1 Notes • Figurative art is a term used to describe paintings and sculptures that are derived from real objects. Figurative art is therefore representational. Note that human figures are often shown in figurative art but the term does not mean figures painting.
