The answer to this question is a scientific literature that looks very different indeed to the existing one. In his letter, James exploits the complex nature of behaviour genetics to sow confusion about what geneticists have found. James concedes that genes influence height, but then denies that the same is true for psychological traits. Yet the evidence for both inferences comes from exactly the same scientific methodology. All kinds of behaviour- genetic investigations (twin studies, family pedigree studies, adoption studies, and newer DNA-based studies) show consistent results when it comes to height and to psychological traits such as IQ, personality, and many other psychological measures [links can be found with the online version of this letter, via http://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/debates]. James refers to Robert Plomin telling The Guardian ‘I have been looking for these genes for fifteen years and I don’t have any’, but this is an out-of-context quote mine. To be clear, we can know that a trait is genetically influenced (from methods such as twin studies) without knowing the specific genes involved (knowledge about which comes from different methods, such as genome-wide association studies). Thus, Robert Plomin is noting that, whereas we know that many psychological traits are strongly heritable, we do not yet know many of the specific genes involved genetic results are on the way. Since we are only at the beginning (the reason for this is that very large studies are needed to of our use of genome-wide association studies, and since very have the statistical power to detect specific genetic associations; large samples are needed to detect the very many genetic these take longer to put together than the average study). There variants that relate to psychological traits, nobody sensible is nothing contradictory or surprising about this. should expect that we would know a large proportion of them In any case, James is out of date: genome-wide association by now.

  • 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.

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).

The Fund can help with acquisitions in most collecting areas including objects relating to the arts, literature, history, natural sciences, technology, industry and medicine. Decisions on grant applications are made following consultation with curatorial staff at National Museums Scotland, the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland who provide expert advice to the Fund. Funding The annual grant from the Scottish Government for 2016/17 was £150,000. The NFA made 64 payments totalling £131,525 which enabled acquisitions with a total value of nearly £373,000. This included payment of grants which had been offered but not yet claimed at the end of the previous financial year. At 31 March 2017, a further 11 grants with a total value of £33,418 had been committed but not yet paid.

    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.

  • Annual Report for 2016/17
    ART FUND IN 2016/ 17 We know these are difficult times for UK museums and that, for many, the future looks uncertain. Over the past year our work – not just as a funder, but also as an advocate of and ally to arts organisations – has never seemed more important, or more crucial. Art Fund is an independent charity and does not receive government funding. In 2016 our income totalled £15.2m (up from £14.8m in 2015) and so, rather than cutting back, we began investing in activities to extend our membership and increase the funds we raise. This will mean we are able to do even more to support museums in the years ahead. In 2016 we gave over £4.7m in acquisition grants to help museums build their collections, 75% of which were awarded to organisations outside CONTENTS London. We have seen our support have a real impact. The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, for example, became the first UK museum to own a work by a Czech Surrealist, Toyen’s The Message of the Forest, while the Bowes Museum acquired a rare and important picture from the workshop of the pioneering painter Dieric Bouts the Elder that would have otherwise been sold to a buyer abroad.

Its focus is Newbery’s thirty-three year association with the Glasgow School of Art. The first two chapters examine Newbery’s early life and his educational background in Dorset and London where he attended the National Art Training School at South Kensington. John Beard, Newbery’s headmaster at the Bridport General School in Dorset, the educational theory of Friedrich Froebel and the modern approach to art teaching of Edward Poynter the Principal of the National Art Training School are all identified as formative influences in the development of Newbery’s own approach to pedagogy at Glasgow.
