  • The Value of Distance: Art’S Cultural Identity Amidst Technology’S Transformations of Space
    THE VALUE OF DISTANCE: ART’S CULTURAL IDENTITY AMIDST TECHNOLOGY’S TRANSFORMATIONS OF SPACE By David Hadlow Ogle Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Liverpool School of the Arts May 2018 II ABSTRACT THE VALUE OF DISTANCE: ART’S CULTURAL IDENTITY AMIDST TECHNOLOGY’S TRANSFORMATIONS OF SPACE By David Hadlow Ogle This study explores technology’s propensity to transform our comprehensions of space, considering the implications of this for our understandings of the work of art and the value that we ascribe to it. With our encounters increasingly a by-product of technological interface, the central question of this work is posed as follows: In what ways (and to what degree) may we regard the contemporary conditions facing the art object (and the values that these elicit) as a consequence of our prevailing technological landscape and its capacity to re-configure our conceptions of space and place? In confronting this, the study begins by surveying recent public justifications made for the arts and the criteria by which their value is ascertained. A trend is recognised, in the growing prevalence of instrumental qualifiers for art’s worth (its quantifiable impacts as a social utility) and a shift away from intrinsic measures. In response to this, I propose the concept of Accumulative Value, arguing that the totality of an art object’s intellectual considerations and explorations (over historical time) are an intrinsic attribute of the object itself and a qualifier of its objective worth. The notion of value itself (with its varying interpretations) is then explored, followed by a contemporary re-evaluation of Walter Benjamin’s concept of the aura, arguing that in our present circumstances this notion may be used in description of an object’s fixed spatial locality.

  • Painted Sermons: Explanatory Rhetoric and William Holman Hunt’S Inscribed Frames
    PAINTED SERMONS: EXPLANATORY RHETORIC AND WILLIAM HOLMAN HUNT’S INSCRIBED FRAMES Karen D. Rowe A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2005 Committee: Sue Carter, Advisor Catherine Cassara Graduate Faculty Representative Thomas Wymer Richard Gebhardt Bruce Edwards ii ABSTRACT Sue Carter, Advisor This study was undertaken to determine the rhetorical function of the verbal texts inscribed on the frames of the paintings of the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt. The nineteenth century expansion of the venues of rhetoric from spoken to written forms coupled with the growing interest in belle lettres created the possibility for the inscriptions to have a greater function than merely captioning the work. Visits were made to museums in the United States and Great Britain to ascertain which of Hunt’s paintings have inscribed frames. In addition, primary sources at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the British Library, London, were consulted to determine if the artist had recorded his design plans or stated any specific purpose for the inscriptions. Contemporary reviews and exhibition catalogs were also consulted at these libraries. In addition, secondary sources were examined for relevant discussions of Hunt’s works. It was concluded that the inscribed works fit the parameters of explanatory rhetoric, a form informational and didactic rather than persuasive in nature. The common nineteenth century venue for explanatory rhetoric was the pulpit, instructing converted parishioners about Church doctrines and their Christian duties. It was also concluded that this shift in rhetorical purpose was not new to the Victorian era, rather that there is a long history of explanatory rhetoric going back at least to Augustine.

  • 1 WATERFRONT TRANSFORMATION PROJECT Announcement of Long
    WATERFRONT TRANSFORMATION PROJECT Announcement of long-term plans for transformational projects on Liverpool’s waterfront Aerial view of the Waterfront / Canning Dock © National Museums Liverpool National Museums Liverpool (NML) – the largest cultural organisation in the North West - has announced it will be launching a high-profile design competition in March as part of a 10-year masterplan of transformation of Liverpool’s waterfront. The organisation of eight museums and galleries is seeking to appoint a multi-disciplinary team to be part of the area’s development and embark on the landmark project to enhance a key part of the city’s historic waterfront. Spanning the area between the Royal Albert Dock and Mann Island, the transformation project will take in key landmarks linking back to Liverpool’s prominence as one of the world’s greatest and busiest trading ports in the 18th century. A masterplan study was undertaken by a team led by Feilden Clegg Bradley (FCB) Studios in 2019 to explore the potential of the site over a 10-year period. Included in the long-term plans are the repurposing of multiple buildings and docks including the Canning Graving Docks, to breathe new life into an area that once played a role in the fitting out, cleaning and repairing of ships, including those used in the transatlantic slave trade, central to Liverpool’s economy at the time. The competition led by Colander Associates, will seek to appoint a multi-disciplinary team for the development of the public spaces, raising the profile of the area whilst responding to the history of the site, developing new pedestrian routes, and allowing for more commercial and cultural opportunities on the waterfront, further enhancing the area alongside the hugely popular Royal Albert Dock.

  • Shakespeare's Language in Millais's Ferdinand Lured by Ariel
    69 “My Ariel, chick, […] Be free, and fare thou well!”: Shakespeare’s Language in Millais’s Ferdinand Lured by Ariel (1849−50) Naoko Asano I. Introduction Often overshadowed by the glory of Ophelia (1851-52) and later portrayal and fancy paintings as it is, Ferdinand Lured by Ariel (1849-50) is a vivid proof of John Everett Millais’s brief engagement in fairy painting during its “Golden Age between 1840 and 1870” (Maas 11). Ferdinand is the artist’s first and last venture into this genre and a very experimental composition from his early Pre-Raphaelite career. An admirer of a caricaturist, Richard “Dicky” Doyle (Hunt; Millais), and a lifelong friend of Joseph Noel Paton as he was, Millais had never created any work of the genre after Ferdinand so that he has rarely been considered as a prominent example of the Victorian fairy painters. Yet Ferdinand stands out as unconventional representation of ethereal subjects among all numerous compositions from this category. It depicts ethereal figures including “tricksy” Ariel in completely different ways from precedent and contemporary representations which depict “graceful human pigmies” (Hunt 399). Millais conceived an unconventional fairy painting, which were derived from nothing other than Shakespeare’s language. This paper is an attempt to highlight John Everett Millais’s Ferdinand Lured by Ariel as a departure from conventional representations of The Tempest in the fairy genre. Ferdinand is a crucial painting in the longstanding career of the artist. It is one of the first Shakespearean works by Millais in his whimsical, Pre-Raphaelite style and demonstrates the elaborate depiction of Studies in Victorian Culture, No.
