  • Setting the Stage for Deception Perspective Distortion in World War I Camouflage
    rivista on-line del Seminario Permanente di Estetica anno IX, numero 2 Setting the Stage for Deception Perspective Distortion in World War I Camouflage Roy R. Behrens Near the end of the 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci described a discovery he had made while investigating perspective. He mentioned it in his Treatise on Painting, and elsewhere included two drawings. He had discovered what is known as anamorphosis, of which his two examples may be the oldest surviving attempts. One is a drawing of a baby’s face, but laterally stretched and distorted, as if on a rubber sheet. The second, which represents a human eye, is also horiZontally stretched (Baltrusaitis [1977]: 33; Leeman [1976]: 10-11). At the time he made these drawings, there was no way of predicting that, centuries later, this seemingly trivial finding, and its later applications, would be of substantial significance in World War I ship camouflage. In linear perspective, an artist typically faces a perpendicular working surface, both while constructing an image and later in viewing the final result. In the case of Leonardo, it is apparent that his drawings were not made from that frontal position but from a surprising view from the side, at the extreme edge of the page. As a result, when the drawings are viewed head-on, they appear distorted. However, when viewed from the edge of the page – from the position from which they originated – they appear to be perfectly normal. Anamorphosis was apparently little more than a curiosity for Leonardo, not something of evident practical use. He did not use it in any of his own paintings, in part because, as he explained, anyone wanting to interpret the image would have to view it from the side, and even, to experience it optimally, to observe it through a peephole with one eye only (Baltrusaitis [1977]: 33).

It is a personal collection of in- novative artefacts, drawn from the histories of all the media arts (photography, painting, installation, animation, flm, graphics, commercial art, music, theatre, dance, literature, poetry, fashion and costume, computer-based art, etc); from the innovations in media form and content, and from the scientifc discoveries and critical theories that underpin such innovation - the emerging theories of art, photography, flm, new media, etc, and the core theories of perception, colour, cognition, consciousness, psychology, physics, computer science etc.Te Inspiratorium also includes the people who personify the zeitgeist of the periods covered - the artists, designers, stars, celebrities, char- acters, entrepreneurs and impresarios of the ages. It is designed as an exhibition to immerse, inform, guide, inspire, catalyse, and contextualise. In short its the place to come for inspiration, no matter what your discipline. It is designed to be an immersive and chronological guide or back-story of the media-arts-innovation environment/ ecology we fnd ourselves in our multimedia, networked, computer-mediated 21st century. Its the back-story of our times. When exhibited, I envisage about 1000 discrete artefacts displayed as individual plaques. LCD screens, projec- tions, that are arranged chronologically.

  • 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.

  • Distortion, Illusion and Transformation: the Evolution Of
    FOLIA 304 Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia de Arte et Educatione 14 (2019) ISSN 2081-3325 DOI 10.24917/20813325.14.1 Camilla Wilkinson Distortion, Illusion and Transformation: the Evolution of Dazzle Painting, a Camouflage System to Protect Allied Shipping from Unrestricted Submarine Warfare, 1917–1918 In October 1917 the War Cabinet was notified in Admiralty Memorandum 2256 “Dazzle Scheme of painting ships” that artist Norman Wilkinson’s camouflage pro- posal to paint the entire external surfaces of vessels in highly contrasting asymmet- ric patterns would be applied to merchant and some naval vessels with the aim of disrupting the crippling effects on British commerce from Unrestricted Submarine Warfare waged by Germany in January of that year. This paper, based on close reading of the surviving archives of design material and documentation concerning the 14–18 War Dazzle camouflage scheme, provides a means to re-interpret the visual language of the designs that have been read (or misread) and popularised through contextualisation in art history and association with notions of avant-garde spatial practice since 1919. Testing and representing this argument has been achieved through drawing research methodologies as well as textual and archival research. Dazzle Painting was developed in response to a major offensive during the 14– 18 War by the U-boat section of the Imperial German Navy. Frustrated by British naval blockade of its ports, Germany declared the sea around Britain a war zone and waged Unrestricted Submarine Warfare on British and neutral merchant shipping. This resulted in enormous numbers of ships being sunk, causing1 considerable loss of life and loss of vital supplies to Britain and Allied nations.

  • Everett Longley Warner Impressionist Painting Comes Back to Market After 106 Years in Family Collection
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 4, 2020 DuMouchelle Art Galleries 409 East Jefferson Ave. Detroit, MI 48226 313.963.6255 www.dumoart.com | [email protected] EVERETT LONGLEY WARNER IMPRESSIONIST PAINTING COMES BACK TO MARKET AFTER 106 YEARS IN FAMILY COLLECTION DuMouchelles December 18th Auction Features “October Sunshine” in Old Lyme, Connecticut DETROIT (Dec. 4, 2020) – DuMouchelles Friday, December 18 auction features a fresh to market period oil on canvas by American Impressionist, Everett Longley Warner (American 1877-1963) “October Sunshine”, depicting a sunny fall day with a woman and two children at the door of the Noyes-Beckwith House in Old Lyme, Connecticut. This work was painted between 1910-1912, when the house was owned by the Beckwith family, and when Warner was associated with the Old Lyme Art Colony along with American Impressionists such as Childe Hassam, Robert and Bessie Potter Vonnoh, and its founder, Henry Ward Ranger. The Noyes- Beckwith House was one of the oldest homes in Old Lyme (Old Lyme historic building 55) and its attic bedrooms were used to hide fugitive slaves as part of the "Underground Railroad". It was built by Moses Noyes II between 1700 and 1712 on the corner of Beckwith Lane and Old Lyme Street and was moved in 1816. In the 1870s the home was owned by Morrison Remick Waite, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. One of his frequent summer visitors was President Rutherford Hayes. The original location of the Noyes-Beckwith House is where art patron and supporter of the Old Lyme Art Colony, Florence Griswold, built her home and is now the Florence Griswold Museum.
