1809 the Glasgow Boys Presentation RICKMANSWORTH U3A ART APPRECIATION GROUP The Glasgow Boys September 2018 The Glasgow Boys - influences Jules Bastien-Lepage, (1848 – 1884) French painter of rustic outdoor genre scenes widely imitated in France and England. Bastien-Lepage studied under Alexandre Cabanel, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1870, and won a medal at the Salon of 1874 for Spring Song. Style owes a little to Édouard Manet and in the tradition of Jean-François Millet and Gustave Courbet. A sentimental element characterizes Bastien-Lepage’s work. He was also a portraitist of note. October, 1878,by Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884), Oil on Canvas, 1,807 mm x 1,960 mm, National Gallery of Victoria, Australia The Glasgow Boys - influences James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834 – 1903) American artist, based primarily in the United Kingdom. Averse to sentimentality and moral allusion in painting and a leading proponent of "art for art's sake". While his art is characterized by a subtle delicacy, his public persona was combative. He found a parallel between painting and music and entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes", emphasizing the primacy of tonal harmony. Whistler influenced the art world and the broader culture of his time with his artistic theories and his friendships with leading artists and writers.

  • Celticism, Internationalism and Scottish Identity Three Key Images in Focus
    Celticism, Internationalism and Scottish Identity Three Key Images in Focus Frances Fowle The Scottish Celtic Revival emerged from long-standing debates around language and the concept of a Celtic race, a notion fostered above all by the poet and critic Matthew Arnold.1 It took the form of a pan-Celtic, rather than a purely Scottish revival, whereby Scotland participated in a shared national mythology that spilled into and overlapped with Irish, Welsh, Manx, Breton and Cornish legend. Some historians portrayed the Celts – the original Scottish settlers – as pagan and feckless; others regarded them as creative and honorable, an antidote to the Industrial Revolution. ‘In a prosaic and utilitarian age,’ wrote one commentator, ‘the idealism of the Celt is an ennobling and uplifting influence both on literature and life.’2 The revival was championed in Edinburgh by the biologist, sociologist and utopian visionary Patrick Geddes (1854–1932), who, in 1895, produced the first edition of his avant-garde journal The Evergreen: a Northern Seasonal, edited by William Sharp (1855–1905) and published in four ‘seasonal’ volumes, in 1895– 86.3 The journal included translations of Breton and Irish legends and the poetry and writings of Fiona Macleod, Sharp’s Celtic alter ego. The cover was designed by Charles Hodge Mackie (1862– 1920) and it was emblazoned with a Celtic Tree of Life. Among 1 On Arnold see, for example, Murray Pittock, Celtic Identity and the Brit­ the many contributors were Sharp himself and the artist John ish Image (Manchester: Manches- ter University Press, 1999), 64–69 Duncan (1866–1945), who produced some of the key images of 2 Anon, ‘Pan-Celtic Congress’, The the Scottish Celtic Revival.

  • {Dоwnlоаd/Rеаd PDF Bооk} Arthur Melville Kindle
    ARTHUR MELVILLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Kenneth McConkey,Charlotte Topsfield | 136 pages | 10 Dec 2015 | National Galleries of Scotland | 9781906270872 | English | Edinburgh, United Kingdom Arthur Melville – | Tate Read the latest visit information, including hours. Although he also worked in oils, Arthur Melville is acclaimed primarily for his distinctive and unorthodox watercolours, which combine precise control with looseness and felicitous chance effects. His colour was often dropped on the paper in rich, full spots or blobs rather than applied with any definite brush-marks. The colour floats into little pools, with the white of the ground softening each touch. He was the most exact of craftsmen; his work is not haphazard and accidental, as might be rashly thought. Those blots in his drawings, which seem meaningless, disorderly and chaotic, are actually organised with the utmost care to lead the way to the foreseen result. Often he would put a glass over his picture and try the effect of spots of different colour on the glass before applying them to the surface of his paper. When he was in his early twenties his penchant for travel and adventure led him to embark on a journey to the Middle East, which was to be the defining event of his career. In Melville travelled to Cairo where he remained for nearly a year before following the British imperial route to Aden and Karachi Kurrachee. Melville, though comparatively little known during his lifetime, was one of the most powerful influences in the contemporary art of his day, especially in his broad decorative treatment with water-colour, which influenced the Glasgow Boys.

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).

  • Purchase of a Painting by Arthur Melville
    Item no Report No Purchase of a painting by Arthur Melville Committee on the Jean F Watson Bequest 12 October 2011 Purpose of report 1 To consider the purchase of a painting by Arthur Melville (1858-1904). Main report 2 The following paintings by Arthur Melville are presented to the Committee for consideration: The Rialto Watercolour on paper, 1894 58.5 x 84cms £120,000 The Procession of Corpus Christi Watercolour on paper, 1890 78 x 55cms £220,000 3 Arthur Melville was born in Angus in 1855 but moved to East Lothian at an early age. He enrolled as a student at the RSA Schools in Edinburgh under John Campbell Noble. In 1858 he visited Paris where he met Robert Weir Allan, who introduced him to the work of the Impressionists. The Impressionistic style was to have a significant influence on Melville’s approach to watercolour. 4 Melville lived at Grez-sur-Loing for a period where other members of the Glasgow Boys were working, and there he was first introduced to the work of Bastien-Lepage. It was in Grez that Melville started experimenting with the transparent qualities of watercolour. After travelling around the Middle East for two years Melville produced some of his most sparkling watercolours of Eastern subjects and quickly began to develop a distinct watercolour style. He returned to Scotland in 1882. 5 Melville is considered one of the greatest watercolourists of his period, lifting the medium, as Turner did, onto new planes. His technique was unique, working onto wet paper, sponging out superfluous detail and carefully allowing certain areas of colour to run together.

  • Japonisme in Britain
    TPS (234mm x156mm) ISBN: 041540584X Royal Octavio (234mm x156mm)(210) JAPONISME IN BRITAIN Japan held a profound fascination for western artists in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the influence of Japonisme on western art was pervasive. Paradoxically, just as western artists were beginning to find inspiration in Japan and Japanese art, Japan was opening to the western world and beginning a process of thorough modernisation - some have said westernisation. The mastery of western art was included in the programme. This book examines the nineteenth-century art world against this back- ground and explores Japanese influences on four artists working in Britain in particular: the American James McNeill Whistler, the Australian Mortimer Menpes and the 'Glasgow Boys' George Henry and Edward Atkinson Hornel. Richly illustrated throughout. Ayako Ono gained her Doctorate from Glasgow University and is currently teaching in Japan.
