  • Razzle Dazzle Camouflage – Was It Effective?
    Razzle Dazzle Camouflage – Was it effective? By Geoff Walker The British have always been very innovative in conducting warfare, especially when it involved “Camouflage” both ashore and afloat. “Dazzle Camouflage” was just one of those many innovations. It consisted of complex patterns and geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting, and intersecting, each other. It was not limited to just “Black and White”, but often multiple colors were introduced into the patterns. “HMS Belfast” at her London moorings Unknown photographer British Artist and naval officer, Norman Wilkinson had this very insight and is accredited with pioneering the Dazzle Camouflage system - known as Razzle Dazzle in the United States. Wilkinson used bright, loud colors and contrasting diagonal stripes to make it incredibly difficult to gauge a ship’s size and direction. How to camouflage ships at sea was one of the big questions of World War I. From the early stages of the war, artists, naturalists, and inventors showered the offices of the British Royal Navy with largely impractical suggestions on making ships less visible, or difficult to define. Wilkinson’s innovation, what would be called “Dazzle”, was rather than using camouflage to hide the vessel, he used it to hide the vessel’s intention. Later he’d say that he’d realized, “Since it was impossible to paint a ship so that she could not be seen by a submarine, the extreme opposite was the answer – in other words, to paint her, not for low visibility, but in such a way as to break up her form and thus confuse a submarine officer as the course on which she was heading.” Wilkinson used broad stripes and polygons of contrasting colors—black and white, green, and mauve, orange, and blue—in geometric shapes and curves to make it difficult to determine the ship’s actual shape, size, and direction.

  • Quaker Values and Arts and Crafts Principles Pamela
    THE BRYNMAWR EXPERIMENT 1928-1940 QUAKER VALUES AND ARTS AND CRAFTS PRINCIPLES by PAMELA MANAS SEH A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degreeof DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Faculty of Art and Design University College, Falmouth October, 2009 2 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author's prior consent. PAMELA MANASSEH THE BRYNMAWR EXPERIMENT, 1928-1940: QUAKER VALUES AND ARTS AND CRAFTS PRINCIPLES ABSTRACT This is a study of the social work of Quakers in the town of Brynmawr in South Wales during the depressions of the 1920s and 1930s. The work, which took place during the years 1928 to 1940, has become known as the Brynmawr Experiment. The initial provision of practical and financial relief for a town suffering severely from the effects of unemployment, was developed with the establishment of craft workshops to provide employment. Special reference is made to the furniture making workshop and the personnel involved with it. The thesis attempts to trace links between the moral and aesthetic values of Quakerism and the Arts and Crafts Movement and explores the extent to which the guiding principles of the social witness project and the furniture making enterprise resemble those of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the inter-war years, 1919-1939. All aspectsof the Quaker work at Brynmawr were prompted by concern for social justice and upholding the dignity of eachindividual.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

  • A Clownfish Pastel on Buff Paper
    Simon Bussy (Dole 1870 - London 1954) A Clownfish Pastel on buff paper. Signed with the artist’s monogram SB in black chalk. 211 x 290 mm. (8 1/4 x 11 3/8 in.) Simon Bussy’s pastels were widely admired by his contemporaries, and avidly collected by many. The poet Guillaume Apollinaire wrote of the artist that, ‘The pastels of Simon Bussy are delicate images, as precious as Persian miniatures. Precision and vitality are the characteristics of Simon Bussy’s talent, and his use of colour often reaches the heights of Matisse.’ For his drawings, Bussy invariably used a combination of French-made Roché pastels and buff paper produced by the firm of Cartridge in London. His animals are usually depicted against a toned background of one muted colour, with a reserve of white paper left untouched around the edges of the composition This study of a clownfish is a fine and typical example of Bussy’s refined, delicate pastel technique. As the contemporary scholar François Fosca noted, in one of the first monographs on the artist, ‘Simon Bussy developed a new style: with minute precision he applied a vaporous and blurred technique to drawing. In his work, there was never any hatching or vertical marks which would reduce the effect of the layer underneath, or make it stand out. Bussy developed a soft, velvety medium which always avoided becoming cloying or limp.’ Most of Simon Bussy’s pastel drawings of fish seem to have been made at the zoo at Vincennes, since he was unable to find adequate lighting at the London Zoo in order to make studies of fish there.

It is structure in textures of colour.’ His ‘monuments’, whether oil paintings, pen and wash drawings, or oil sketches on paper, have varied essentially between two kinds of structure. There is the structure built up of clearly defined, tightly bounded forms of the early geometrical-constructivist work; and there is, in contrast, the flowing, richly textured forms of his later period, so characteristic of Bomberg’s landscape painting. These distinctions seem to exist even in the palette: primary colours and heavily saturated hues in the early works, while the later paintings are more subtle, tonally conceived surfaces.
