  • Critical Values: the Career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1900-2015 Professor Pamela Robertson It Is a Great Pleasure to Be Back
    Keynote Speech Strand 4 Critical Values: The Career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1900-2015 Professor Pamela Robertson It is a great pleasure to be back in Barcelona for this exciting Congress. I am grateful to the organisers, in particular Lluis Bosch and Mireia Freixa, for the invitation to speak to you today on Mackintosh, and to all those whose hard work has delivered such a successful and stimulating event. The strand this afternoon is research, specifically research in progress. This session invites us to reflect, for a moment, on critical values and critical fortunes. How are reputations and understandings formed? What value systems are they based on? How do they shift, and why? What are the future directions for us as curators, scholars, teachers? What I aim to present briefly today is threefold: an overview of the critical literature and research surrounding the career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh from around 1900 to 2015 (Fig. 1) – in the hope that this case study will provide some parallels with your individual experiences as researchers, whether working with male and/or female subjects; some reflections on the recently launched Mackintosh Architecture research website; and finally some general remarks on future directions for research. What emerges is the significance of context and individuals; the catalyst of curators and exhibitions; the gradual transference of Mackintosh's artistic legacy into the public domain; and, for Mackintosh at least, the central role of one institution, the University of Glasgow. In 1996, Alan Crawford divided Mackintosh's 'life after death' into three phases which comprised Mackintosh and the Architects, the Enthusiasts, and the Market.1 The trajectory of the scholarly presentation of Mackintosh’s work can, I believe, be divided into five broad phases, though of course at times these overlap: 1.

  • Ellery Queen Master Detective
    Ellery Queen Master Detective Ellery Queen was one of two brainchildren of the team of cousins, Fred Dannay and Manfred B. Lee. Dannay and Lee entered a writing contest, envisioning a stuffed‐shirt author called Ellery Queen who solved mysteries and then wrote about them. Queen relied on his keen powers of observation and deduction, being a Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson rolled into one. But just as Holmes needed his Watson ‐‐ a character with whom the average reader could identify ‐‐ the character Ellery Queen had his father, Inspector Richard Queen, who not only served in that function but also gave Ellery the access he needed to poke his nose into police business. Dannay and Lee chose the pseudonym of Ellery Queen as their (first) writing moniker, for it was only natural ‐‐ since the character Ellery was writing mysteries ‐‐ that their mysteries should be the ones that Ellery Queen wrote. They placed first in the contest, and their first novel was accepted and published by Frederick Stokes. Stokes would go on to release over a dozen "Ellery Queen" publications. At the beginning, "Ellery Queen" the author was marketed as a secret identity. Ellery Queen (actually one of the cousins, usually Dannay) would appear in public masked, as though he were protecting his identity. The buying public ate it up, and so the cousins did it again. By 1932 they had created "Barnaby Ross," whose existence had been foreshadowed by two comments in Queen novels. Barnaby Ross composed four novels about aging actor Drury Lane. After it was revealed that "Barnaby Ross is really Ellery Queen," the novels were reissued bearing the Queen name.

[Amate paper] Curandero Otomí Deity - Dios de Piña cut paper card. San Pablito, Mexico, 1970-1990. Unique. Single leaf paper cut mounted on brown and white amate bark paper with handwritten description. 15x9cm. In Spanish. Very Good+. (#9922) $75.00 The culture of amate paper dates back to pre-Columbian Meso-American times. The word amate derives from amatl, the Nahuatl word for paper. Mayan and Aztec Indians painted on amate paper to create codices (accordion folded books) depicting stories historical events and even astrology. San Pablito, a settlement of Otomí speaking Indians in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, is renowned as a village of brujería (witchcraft) and the only remaining major center of indigenous papermakers in Mexico. The cut paper spirits are also named as deities, including dios de abeja, dios de antiguo, madre tierra. In addition, the Otomí cut paper camas (beds), upon which the paper figurines are laid during rituals. A lesser known aspect of Otomí tourist art is the making of small books or postcards from handmade paper where the lighter paper is used as a background surface, and brown and darker muñecos, the “sacred paper cuttings”, are glued on. These figures are accompanied by texts in Spanish written in capital letters with felt-tipped pens.

  • THE ART NOUVEAU BOOK DESIGNS of TALWIN MORRIS Lyle Ford
    THE ART NOUVEAU BOOK DESIGNS OF TALWIN MORRIS Lyle Ford ALWIN MORRIS worked as a book designer from 1893 to 1911, the year of his death. Immersed in the Glasgow Style, he created T a body of graphic design uniquely situated between the decline of blind-stamped Victorian publishers' bindings and the appearance of the now ubiquitous dust jacket. Born in 1865 in Winchester, England, Morris moved to Glasgow in 1893 to become the art director for the publisher Blackie & Son. As of 1898, he also designed books for Blackie & Son's subsidiary, Gresham Publishing. In both publishing houses, Morris designed "publishers' bindings," identical book covers manufac­ tured in mass quantities rather than one-of-a-kind books. During his tenure as Art Director he befriended Charles Rennie Mack­ intosh and other proponents of the Glasgow Style, a particularly Scot­ tish expression of Art Nouveau. One of Mackintosh's better known buildings, Hill House, designed for Walter Blackie, came about due to Morris' influence (MacLeod 90). He introduced Mackintosh to Walter Blackie and championed his work. Morris also commissioned book designs from Mackintosh and from a number of other artists in the Glasgow Style circle. His designs also re­ flected many of the stylistic forms and symbols found in the others' works. Those forms draw on natural shapes such as roses, plants and feathers, but Morris also used linear and architectural motifs in his designs. This combination of natural and linear elements typifies late Art Nouveau in general and the Glasgow Style in particular. Blackie & Son sold popular books, including children's books, school texts, theological and philosophical works, popular novels, and poetry.

  • 1 Ossified Collections Embody the Manifold Reasons Motivating Private Collectors
    Ossified Collections: The Past Encapsulated in British Institutions Today Karen Attar Chapter published in: Collecting the Past: British Collectors and their Collections from the 18th to the 20th Centuries, ed. by Toby Burrows and Cynthia Johnston (London: Routledge, 2019), pp. 113-38 ‘Floreat bibliomania’, entitled that great collector A.N.L. Munby an article published in the New Statesman on 21 June 1952.1 Munby’s main interest was in sale catalogues as records of books assembled and then dispersed.2 This essay provides an overview of a more philanthropic and stable end to collecting: collections of primarily printed books in the British Isles that have stayed together and now enrich institutions, causing broader swathes of scholars and librarians to echo Munby’s prayer. Whilst some outstanding collectors and bibliophiles are highlighted in the standard literature of collecting and other more modest ones are noted in magisterial histories of institutions, feature in dedicated articles, or are commemorated in published catalogues of their collections, these remain the minority.3 This overview is based more widely on some of what has been described as ‘the rest of the iceberg’, through a survey of 873 repositories in the British Isles: national, academic, school, public, subscription and professional libraries, or in trusts, cathedrals, churches, monasteries, London clubs, archives, museums, schools, companies, and stately homes.4 Discussing popular collecting subjects and trends in collecting, it concentrates on ‘collections’ as groups of books with some unifying element, most of which originated with an individual before entering corporate ownership, whilst retaining at least some semblance of their former identity.
