  • Orientalism: from Samuel Colman to the Sheik Article
    MUSEUM FRIDAY FEATURE Orientalism: from Samuel Colman to The Sheik by Benton Kidd, Curator of Ancient Art he 1919 publication of The Sheik by E. M. THull was a runaway bestseller, even though critics lambasted the lusty story as “wicked,” and “poisonously salacious.” Set in Algeria, the plot follows a British woman’s trip through the Sahara, during which she is abducted by a desert sheik and becomes his concubine. The blockbuster Paramount movie followed in 1921, unleashing Sheik hysteria on America. Almost overnight, enterprising travel agencies began heavily marketing “motor car trips” across North Africa, promising exotic and forbidden delights. One French Line ad tempted potential travelers to “follow the Sheik’s trail through lands of mystery. .forbidden to Christian travelers for centuries!” The discovery of the tomb of pharaoh Tutankhamun in late 1922 only magnified the North African mystique. Orientalism had reached a febrile climax in America, but its appeal had begun much earlier. Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798 reintroduced Egyptian allure to the West, and thereafter French artists began to stray from the rational confines of Neoclassicism to the new movement of Romanticism, which appealed deeply to the senses and emotion. Many of the Paris Salon’s future luminaries fell headlong into the sensuous genre of harems, souks, and kasbahs. French domination of North Africa also continued, eventually encompassing Algeria and Tunisia. In 1893, the Society of French Orientalist Painters was founded with Jean-Léon Gérôme as president, but the movement had already spread far beyond France. A sub-genre, Japonisme, began about the middle of the century, and drew on Japanese culture for inspiration.

  • Mrs. Colman's Illustrated Printings of Blake's Poems, 1843-44
    N O T E An American Original: Mrs. Colman’s Illustrated Printings of glake’s Poemsl 1843-44 Raymond H. Deckl Jr. glake/An Illustrated Quarterlyl Volume 11l Issue 1l Summer 1977l pp. 4-18 4 An American Original: Mrs. Colman's Illustrated Printings of Blake's Poems, 1843-44 By Raymond H. Deck, Jr. Between 1843 and 1845, Pamela Chandler Colman, an American Swedenborgian active in the production of children's books, was responsible for printing in four separate publications nine different poems from Blake's Songs of Innocence.^ Taken together, these printings constitute a remarkable "edition" of Blake's poems, both for their text and for their accompanying illustrations. As we will see, Mrs. Colman did not simply reprint a selection from Wilkinson's 1839 edition of the Songs or from Cunningham's Lives as Illus. 1 we might expect at" this time in America; she apparently used an original copy of Innocence and IP K©§ PECTUS. chose texts which she thought most appropriate for her young readers; she even took the liberty of THE BOYS' AND GIRLS' MAGAZINE. attributing to Blake a rather saccharine piece entitled "Evening Hymn." Ferhaps more remarkable, UNDER tlic ubovc tills, wc shall commence, this month, the publication of a new MAGAZINE. Having been engaged n long time in preparing books lor tlieir young most of these poems, taken from Blake's illuminated friends, the publishers have frequently thought of, and intended to make, a Monthly pages, are accompanied by illustrations, at least t liter, for nil the Girls and Hoys of America; and now, fading their facilities surh- cicnt, and Uieir hearts still warm on the subject, they propose to furnish, Monthly, a one or tv.-o of which seem to have been inspired by HOYS' AND GIRLS' MAGAZINE.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction In the decades that followed the creation of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768, the sister arts tradition appeared to be as alive as it had been at the beginning of the century. The literary aspirations of British visual artists were nurtured by academic precepts which claimed that by rivalling and adapting the best poetic work, paint- ers would assert their art’s intellectual value and prove that it was a ‘liberal’ occupation, rather than a ‘mechanical’ trade. While the Royal Academy promoted ‘history painting’ and the emulation of epic poetry as the best demonstration of the mental skills employed in painting, a new generation of visual artists sought inspiration in the most exalting and tumultuous productions of the British literary genius, and found in Shakespeare, Milton or Macpherson’s Ossian a stimulating repertoire of dramatic scenes and themes. Besides academic exhibits, the period was fraught with ambitious pictorial ventures which revealed a genuine desire to fuse the arts or con- fi rm their equal emotive power. This was the time of John Boydell’s Shakespeare Gallery (1789–1805), Thomas Macklin’s Gallery of Poets (1788– 97) and Henry Fuseli’s Milton Gallery (1799– 1800), all of which capitalised on the new literary interests, which were shared by a growing audience of non- aristocratic spectators. It was also the time when illustrated literary editions began to be pub- lished on a large scale, to answer to the expectations of visual/ verbal interactions of this wider public. The fl ourishing of literary pictorial productions, however, was more a refl ection of British visual artists’ new ambitions than a 1 2 THE CHALLENGE OF THE SUBLIME genuine cooperation between the arts.

  • Acquisitions (869 KB PDF)
    Collections Every year is a special one for the museum when it comes to collecting art, but 2004 proved particularly noteworthy. The most widely publicized acquisition was the life-size Classical bronze statue Apollo Sauroktonos (Lizard-Slayer), called by the New York Times “the most significant ancient art acquisition by any American museum in the past 50 years.” The sculp- ture is consistent with the style of the great Praxiteles, who lived in the fourth century BC and influenced centuries of Greek and Roman artists to follow. A symposium in 2006 will explore the Cleveland statue and its relationship to Praxiteles. Other major acquisitions spanned the globe and millennia. Ju-hsi Chou had one more superb acquisition up his sleeve before he retired: the 13th-century 50-sheet Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes (which he had first learned about while in graduate school) that had been assumed lost during World War II. An exquisite contemporary Japanese box, Red and White Plum Blossoms, made of glass, enamel, and metal foils by Kyohei Fujita, was given to the museum by the artist’s family and the Thomas R.
