  • Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable
    return to list of Publications and Lectures Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable Charles S. Rhyne Professor, Art History Reed College published in Appearance, Opinion, Change: Evaluating the Look of Paintings Papers given at a conference held jointly by the United Kingdom institute for Conservation and the Association of Art Historians, June 1990. London: United Kingdom Institute for Conservation, 1990, p.72-84. Abstract This paper reviews the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by one artist, John Constable. The intention is not simply to describe changes in the work of Constable but to suggest a framework for the study of changes in the work of any artist and to facilitate discussion among conservators, conservation scientists, curators, and art historians. The paper considers, first, examples of physical changes in the paintings themselves; second, changes in the physical conditions under which Constable's paintings have been viewed. These same examples serve to consider changes in the cultural and psychological contexts in which Constable's paintings have been understood and interpreted Introduction The purpose of this paper is to review the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by a single artist to see what questions these raise and how the varying answers we give to them might affect our work as conservators, scientists, curators, and historians. [1] My intention is not simply to describe changes in the appearance of paintings by John Constable but to suggest a framework that I hope will be helpful in considering changes in the paintings of any artist and to facilitate comparisons among artists.

  • AONB Team Response to Matter 7 (Environment Policies) Question 7.6 A-C
    AONB Office Dock Lane Melton Suffolk IP12 1PE 01394 384948 W: www.dedhamvalestourvalley.org W: www.suffolkcoastandheaths.org 3 June 2021 AONB team response to Matter 7 (Environment Policies) Question 7.6 a-c This response has been prepared by Beverley McClean on behalf of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) team. The AONB team that works across the Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Valley and the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB. The AONB team welcome the opportunity to comment on Matter 7 Q7.6 a-c. 7.6 a) Is policy LP20 consistent with national policy? Policy LP20 is not considered to be consistent with national policy namely paragraph 172 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). In our response to the Regulation 19 consultation, the AONB team highlighted its broad support of the policy LP20. However, the team also requested several amendments to policy LP20 which we considered were necessary to ensure that the policy is sound. The NPPF provides the framework which Local Plans and other development plans must accord with. Paragraph 172 sets out the development approach for all nationally Protected Landscapes including AONBs. Paragraph 172 states ‘Great weight should be given to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks, the Broads and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which have the highest status of protection in relation to these issues. The conservation and enhancement of wildlife and cultural heritage are also important considerations in these areas and should be given great weight in National Parks the Broads. The scale and extent of development within these designated areas should be limited.

    THE ONLY WAY IS WeE thought weSSEX were a Cotswolds kind of family until we gave Essex a chance, says SYBILLA HART Constable Country, Dedham February 2015 | COUNTRYANDTOWNHOUSE.CO.UK | 87 hen you think of Essex, let’s face it, a host of clichés spring to mind. Electric gates, TOWIE, yellow Mercedes, yellow ladies. These clichés aren’t entirely unjustified – there is no smoke without fire – but cast your eyes Wfurther away from Brentwood and towards the rural fields of the north and the findings couldn’t be more different. Ancient timber-framed farmhouses pepper the gently undulating landscape and at dusk it is easy to see why the magical sunsets made these Constable skies famous. When I first visited the Colne Valley, 15 odd miles to the east of Colchester, I couldn’t believe my Satnav. How was it possible to be only an hour and a half from London in this rural idyll? And further still, how could we be in Essex? It turns out that Essex should not be dismissed as either the cockney backyard of East London or the cheeky cousin of loftier, more refined, rural Suffolk. There is so much more to this county than I first thought. The breathtakingly beautiful Dedham Vale – a valley in the north east of the county, with the River Stour running through it – is a good place to start. It is cream tea territory and, during the summer months, it is not without the invasion of the tourist bus. The painter Alfred Munnings lived in Dedham and described his part Tudor, part Georgian abode (now a museum housing his art) as ‘the perfect house’.
