  • SOUTER Camille

    SOUTER Camille

    The Trinity College Dublin Art Collections Artist: Camille Souter Title: On Their Way Medium: oil on Paper Dimensions: 79cm x 57cm b. 1929, Northamptonshire, England Born Betty Pamela Holmes, her first husband Gordon Souter allegedly nicknamed her ‘Camille’ after the consumptive heroine of Alexandre Dumas’ novel ‘La Dame aux Camélias’. She was raised in Ireland, and studied nursing at Guy’s Hospital in London. She began painting in the 1950s when recovering from tuberculosis on the Isle of Wight and is mostly self-taught. She took brief classes in clay over wire sculpture, which she continued to practice, destroying all but one work as they failed to meet her standards. She began painting in earnest on the spur of the moment in 1953, and almost despite herself, she realised her deep desire to paint and declared ‘I shall have to spend the rest of my life fighting for it’. She maintained her strict standards and destroyed all her work of this period, though she cites the Abstract Expressionists (such as Jackson Pollock) as influences at this time. After travelling and working in Italy (where she sold her first work) and France, she returned to Ireland and began to exhibit. Her first solo-exhibition was in 1956 in the El Habano Restaurant, Dublin. In 1957 she first exhibited in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art where she received critical acclaim and sold all works submitted. She won an Italian Cultural Institute scholarship to Italy for a year in 1958. When living on Aichill Island she began wearing her signature black woollen beret of the local fishermen, to keep her hair out of the way when working.

    The Life and Works of Beatrice Elvery, 1881-1920

    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

    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.

WELCOME IT IS WITH great enthusiasm that we welcome our readers to Tulsk History Society’s very first newsletter. We hope this will be the first of many, in the Society’s aim of celebrating the rich history of the parish. From our initial steps only a few short months ago we have built up an enthusiastic membership and committee. We hope to push on to even better things as the year progresses. As we have mentioned elsewhere (in our constitution and on social media) the aim of the society is to pursue and promote all aspects of local history, be it social, cultural, political or economic, as well as our archaeological heritage, traditions, folklore, arts, crafts and games. The newsletter is our first venture into having our own publication, which will cover the broad range of history that is on our doorsteps. A collection of archival material is already gathering pace with contributions, and we hope our newsletters will form a central part of that archive going forward. We hope you enjoy reading, and please feel free to drop us a line through our email above. Membership details are included at the end. In this month’s edition our cover story, by Cathal McCormack, looks at the Cloonyquinn origins of the famous French family, while Mary Kelly takes a deep dive into the Dúchas Folklore Collection, of 1935, and its many contributions from the schools of the parish.

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.

My two supervisors, Elizabeth Butler Cullingford and Barbara Harlow, introduced me to much of the literature and many of the ideas that make up this project. Their direction throughout the process was invaluable: they have been, and continue to be, inspirational teachers, scholars and individuals. Kamran Ali brought both academic rigor and a sense of humor to the defense as he pushed the manuscript beyond its boundaries. Ann Cvetkovich translated her fresh perspective into comments on new directions for the project and Ian Hancock was constantly generous with his resources and unique knowledge of the Irish Traveller community.
