Jesus is interested in the Tstirrings of the imagination and the human heart, the personal inspirations that influence our choices and behaviour. The territory within, imagination with all its complex emotions and desires, holds Jesus’ attention. Setting imagination and hearts free can lead to the rediscovery of silence, wonder and heart-listening. It is these experiences that can overcome `faith-deafness` and liberate the imagination and the heart. Our archives show us that it is personal histories that carry profound truth of faith and life in the Holy Spirit. We see this when we follow the traces of God in biographies and mission histories. Here we discover the dynamic presence of God in Spiritan lives. The best moments in reading files are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – that you’d though special, particular to yourself. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out and taken yours.

    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.

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.

  • Analysing Cubism
    Mary Swanzy, Le Village, c. 1920s Analysing Cubism 20 February – 19 May 2013 IMMA, New Galleries, Royal Hospital, Kilmainham Including artists, Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone, Mary Swanzy, Norah McGuinness, Andre Lhote, Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris and Pablo Picasso EXHIBITION NOTES FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS (Words highlighted in yellow are included in Glossary at end) General Information The term ‘Analytic Cubism’ has been used to describe work made by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1909 and 1912 and includes iconic paintings such as Picasso’s Ma Jolie (1911-1912) from the collection of MoMA in New York. The exhibition Analysing Cubism takes as its point of origin the principles of early or Analytic Cubism and outlines the various directions taken by different artists, though with a focus on Irish artists Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone. Rather than taking one position on Cubism, the exhibition presents several different viewpoints on the subject which are one-sided and even conflicting. Analysing Cubism does not propose that the notion of Cubism is contested; rather, it points out that many different scholars and artists have taken the principles of Cubism and translated them in different ways. The model of the exhibition fits with wider programming ideas at IMMA and the Crawford Art Gallery. It also signals ways in which Cubism and cubist artists remain relevant to many contemporary artists. Analysing Cubism will shift the focus away from Picasso and Braque (who quickly abandoned this form of abstraction) to identify the centrality of Albert Gleizes in the development of the movement. Gleizes was the teacher of Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone.

Tel: +44 (0)1904 623088 email [email protected] STAINED AND PAINTED GLASS: CATALOGUE 16 Introduction: This catalogue is our first specialist list on aspects of stained and painted glass. It includes material on making glass, commentaries on glass in situ, including a selection of out of print volumes from Corpus Vitrearum, monographs on individual makers and a small group of items which comprise original designs for glass. It is designed to appeal to those who have a general interest in the subject alongside those with specific interests in periods or individual artists. We would particularly draw your attention to Christopher Whall’s rare promotional booklet for his own firm which has original photographs of items he made,(no 31 ) and other trade catalogues, the massive colour illustrated portfolio Vorbildliche Glasmalereien aus dem späten Mittelalter und der Renaissancezeit which records glass in pre First World War Germany (no 99), the original heraldic designs recorded by F C Eden at Aveley Belhus. (no 187) and the substantial collection of original material from Hardman’s in Birmingham when the company was under the jurisdiction of Patrick Feeney and Donald Taunton. (no 188 ) [Cover design from the collection S268] We have not included Journals in the list but have a large stock of the major academic publication of the Society of Glass Painters and other journals and welcome any enquiries on this subject. Furthermore, there are many small pamphlets which provide valuable insights into the windows in churches all over Great Britain and beyond.

    Nathaniel Hone R.H.A. Gorry Gallery • Dublin 29. Study: Ship at Anchor 20. Cover – Study: Sheep in the Park 1. Backcover – Study: Sand and Sea © GORRY GALLERY LTD. paintings from the studio of nathaniel hone R.H.A. 1831 – 1917 Gorry Gallery • Dublin 27th June – 9th July 2002 Introduction r Thomas Bodkin took a bold step in selecting Barret, O’Connor, Osborne and Hone for his celebrated D1920 book Four Irish Landscape Painters. In retrospect, it was a wise and enlightened choice. The work of all four painters has stood the test of time, and their reputations have grown in stature over the years both in Ireland and abroad. It gives me much pleasure, therefore, to present this exhibition of such a large collection of Hone’s work, which has come by descent from his studio and has never been seen before in public. In his oils, we observe his direct alla prima brushwork, giving credence to the saying that ‘the sketch is the artist’s caress’. His buttery paint (with no apparent underdrawing in evidence) is applied with consummate freedom in his ‘plein air’ sketches and, surprisingly, is equally present in his ‘finished’ exhibition works. Unlike his ‘impressionist’ contempories Hone did not rely on colour, restricting his palette to a limited range of natural pigments that were true to the Irish landscape. He mixed black or umber with yellow (rather than blue) to create moist greens, and his blue for sky only was applied sparingly. His watercolours rank with those of the very best international painters and I cannot think of any Irish contemporary who comes near to his mastery.
