The Life and Works of Beatrice Elvery, 1881-1920
Nationalism, Motherhood, and Activism: The Life and Works of Beatrice Elvery, 1881-1920 Melissa S. Bowen A Thesis Submitted to the Department of History California State University Bakersfield In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History May 2015 Copyright By Melissa S. Bowen 2015 Acknowledgments I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement and support of Cal State Bakersfield’s History Department faculty, who as a group worked closely with me in preparing me for this fruitful endeavor. I am most grateful to my advisor, Cliona Murphy, whose positive enthusiasm, never- ending generosity, and infinite wisdom on Irish History made this project worthwhile and enjoyable. I would not have been able to put as much primary research into this project as I did without the generous scholarship awarded to me by Cal State Bakersfield’s GRASP office, which allowed me to travel to Ireland and study Beatrice Elvery’s work first hand. I am also grateful to the scholars and professionals who helped me with my research such as Dr. Stephanie Rains, Dr. Nicola Gordon Bowe, and Rector John Tanner. Lastly, my research would not nearly have been as extensive if it were not for my hosts while in Ireland, Brian Murphy, Miriam O’Brien, and Angela Lawlor, who all welcomed me into their homes, filled me with delicious Irish food, and guided me throughout the country during my entire trip.

An Artistic Praxis: Phenomenological Colour and Embodied Experience
Journal of the International Colour Association (2017): 17, 150-200 Balabanoff An Artistic Praxis: Phenomenological colour and embodied experience Doreen Balabanoff Faculty of Design, OCAD University, Toronto, Canada Email: [email protected] Artistic knowledge resides within the works that a visual artist makes. .Verbalising or discussing that knowledge is a separate exercise, often left to others, who make their own interpretations and investigations. In this introspective study of artworks spanning four decades, I look into and share insight about a practice in which knowledge about colour, light and spatial experience was developed and utilised. The process of action, reflection and new application of gained knowledge is understood as a praxis—a practice aimed at creating change in the world. The lessons learned are about human embodied experience of light, colour and darkness in spatial environments. The intent of the study (as of the artwork) is enhancement of our capacities for creating sensitive and enlivening space for human life experience and human flourishing, through understanding and use of colour and light as complex environmental phenomena affecting our mind/body/psyche. Four themes arose from reflecting upon the work. These are, in order of discussion: (1) Image and Emanation, (2) Resonance and Chord, (3) Threshold and Veil, and (4) Projection, Reflection, Light and Time. My findings include affirmation that a Goethian science (phenomenological, observational) approach to investigating and unconcealing tacit knowledge—embedded in an artistic praxis and its outcomes—has value for developing a deeper understanding of environmental colour and light. Such knowledge is important because environmental design has impact upon our bodies, our minds and our life experience.

As we have mentioned elsewhere (in our constitution and on social media) the aim of the society is to pursue and promote all aspects of local history, be it social, cultural, political or economic, as well as our archaeological heritage, traditions, folklore, arts, crafts and games. The newsletter is our first venture into having our own publication, which will cover the broad range of history that is on our doorsteps. A collection of archival material is already gathering pace with contributions, and we hope our newsletters will form a central part of that archive going forward. We hope you enjoy reading, and please feel free to drop us a line through our email above. Membership details are included at the end. In this month’s edition our cover story, by Cathal McCormack, looks at the Cloonyquinn origins of the famous French family, while Mary Kelly takes a deep dive into the Dúchas Folklore Collection, of 1935, and its many contributions from the schools of the parish.

All Rights Reserved ii CONTENTS CONTEXT Biographical History iv Archival History iv CONTENT AND STRUCTURE Scope and Content v System of Arrangement vi CONDITIONS OF ACCESS AND USE Access vii Language vii Finding Aid vii DESCRIPTION CONTROL Archivist’s Note vii iii CONTEXT Biographical history Born in Dublin in February 1882, Joseph Maunsell Hone was educated at Wellington and Jesus College, Cambridge and began a writing career which gained him a reputation as a leading figure of the Irish literary revival. He wrote well regarded biographies of George Moore (1939), Henry Tonks (1936), and W.B. Yeats (1943) with whom he was on terms of close friendship. His political writings included books on the 1916 rebellion, the Irish Convention, and a history of Ireland since independence, published in 1932. He had a strong interest in philosophy, translating Daniel Halévy’s life of Nietzsche and working with Arland Ussher on an anthology of philosophers which was never completed. He was elected President of the Irish Academy of Letters in 1957. With George Roberts and Stephen Gwynn, he co-founded Maunsel & Company, publishers, and served as its chairman. The company published more than five hundred titles to become Ireland’s largest publishing house, publishing works by all the revival’s leading figures. The imprint later changed to Maunsel & Roberts. Joseph Hone died in March 1959 and was survived by his wife Vera (neé Brewster), a noted beauty from New York who he had married in 1911.

The Baptistery Window at St Mary's
The Baptistery Window at St Mary’s We are fortunate in St Mary’s in having what is widely regarded to be one of the most beautiful churches in Dublin. It is very much appreciated by the many visitors who come here, particularly during the summer months. In our visitors’ book one finds expressions of appreciation both for the spirit of our community Eucharist and the beauty of our church. This is something that we are proud of and is worth celebrating. Central to the interior of the church is the stained glass. One author has noted that: ’St. Mary’s is fortu- nate to have such a rich variety of stained glass and it provides parishioners and visitors alike with an opportunity to see and appreciate European and Irish stained-glass side by side.’ One of the more hidden pieces of stained glass of St Mary’s church is in the baptistery, near the front door, on the left as one enters the church. This is The Baptism of the Lord by Beatrice Elvery, which is one of four very beautiful, interesting and historically important pieces of Irish stained glass in the church, the others being A.E. Child’s ( 875-1939) St Cecilia, created in 1910, and the two very impres- sive windows by the Earley company, Christ the King, a work that dates to the 1920s and the great Rose Window, created in 1940. Beatrice Elvery (1881-1970), later known a Lady Glenavy, was a painter, stained glass artist and sculp- tor. She was the second daughter of the Dublin businessman, William Elvery, whose family originated from Spain where they were silk merchants.
