Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures
MICHAEL HANCHER Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? —John Keats, ‘‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’’ Tagging Magritte A RT UK, FORMERLY KNOWN AS Your Paintings, is an ambitious project to document and make accessible online all the paintings that are held by public museums in Great Britain. Launched at the National Gallery in June 2011, it was initially supported by the British Broadcasting Corpo- ration and the Public Catalogue Foundation (now also renamed Art UK), a registered charity established in 2003.1 By August 2015, more than two hundred thousand paintings had been photographed for the project’s data- base.2 Basic metadata for each painting was supplied by museum profes- sionals, but more detailed metadata was crowdsourced by online volunteers, who ‘‘tagged’’ individual images with descriptive terms that could be entered in a search engine to call up relevant paintings. An interim history of the project noted that economy was a major incentive for the crowdsourcing: ‘‘It was obvious that it would be prohibitively expensive to pay expert fine art cataloguers to describe all 200,000 paintings systematically and that some sort of voluntary system would have to be devised.’’ Crowdsourcing prom- ised the contributing museums other benefits as well, including ‘‘the poten- tial to engage both existing and new audiences,’’ and the discovery of vernacular (rather than expert) search terms responsive to the interests of ‘‘the widest set of potential users.’’3 abstract Despite modernist precepts, digital projects that use crowdsourcing to annotate large collections of images of paintings and book illustrations with ‘‘tags’’ have encouraged viewers to see things in pictures and to say what they see. -

The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain
Crossing the Channel: The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain By Catherine Cheney Senior Honors Thesis Department of Art History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 8, 2016 Approved: 1 Introduction: French Impressionism in England As Impressionism spread throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century, the movement took hold in the British art community and helped to change the fundamental ways in which people viewed and collected art. Impressionism made its debut in London in 1870 when Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Durand-Ruel sought safe haven in London during the Franco- Prussian war. The two artists created works of London landscapes done in the new Impressionist style. Paul Durand-Ruel, a commercial dealer, marketed the Impressionist works of these two artists and of the other Impressionist artists that he brought over from Paris. The movement was officially organized for the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 in Paris, but the initial introduction in London laid the groundwork for promoting this new style throughout the international art world. This thesis will explore, first, the cultural transformations of London that allowed for the introduction of Impressionism as a new style in England; second, the now- famous Thames series that Monet created in the 1890s and notable exhibitions held in London during the time; and finally, the impact Impressionism had on private collectors and adding Impressionist works to the national collections. With the exception of Edouard Manet, who met with success at the Salon in Paris over the years and did not exhibit with the Impressionists, the modern artists were not received well. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 GLASGOW UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 122%'Cop7 I Abstract Japan held a profound fascination for Western artists in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The influence of Japanese art is a phenomenon that is now called Japonisme , and it spread widely throughout Western art. It is quite hard to make a clear definition of Japonisme because of the breadth of the phenomenon, but it could be generally agreed that it is an attempt to understand and adapt the essential qualities of Japanese art. This thesis explores Japanese influences on British Art and will focus on four artists working in Britain: the American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), the Australian Mortimer Menpes (1855-1938), and two artists from the group known as the Glasgow Boys, George Henry (1858-1934) and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933). -

Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893-1965) By
The Social, Political and Economic Determinants of a Modern Portrait Artist: Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893-1965) by MARIE CONSIDINE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT As the first major study of the portrait artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893- 1965), this thesis locates the artist in his social, political and economic context, arguing that his portraiture can be seen as an exemplar of modernity. The portraits are shown to be responses to modern life, revealed not in formally avant- garde depictions, but in the subject-matter. Industrial growth, the increasing population, expanding suburbs, and a renewed interest in the outdoor life and popular entertainment are reflected in Fleetwood-Walker’s artistic output. The role played by exhibition culture in the creation of the portraits is analysed: developing retail theory affected gallery design and exhibition layout and in turn impacted on the size, subject matter and style of Fleetwood-Walker’s portraits. -
