    COPYRIGHT STATEMENT 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 no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. i ii REX WHISTLER (1905 – 1944): PATRONAGE AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY by NIKKI FRATER A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Humanities & Performing Arts Faculty of Arts and Humanities September 2014 iii Nikki Frater REX WHISTLER (1905-1944): PATRONAGE AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY Abstract This thesis explores the life and work of Rex Whistler, from his first commissions whilst at the Slade up until the time he enlisted for active service in World War Two. His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

  • Diaghilev and London
    Diaghilev and London, A Talk by Graham Bennett, Crouch End and District U3A member We are not exactly the best of friends with Russia these days - But just over a century ago, Russia exported something that actually transformed the cultural life of London. This talk is about a quite extraordinary Russian Impresario and two equally extraordinary women who were part of his project The project was a Russian Dance Company that created a revolution in the world of dance, and London was to play a big part in its success. This company is the Ballet Russes. The impresario is Serge Diaghilev, born in 1872 in Perm in deepest Russia, who would create the Ballet Russes. Lydia Lopokova from St Petersburg, born in 1892, one of Diaghilev's star ballerinas. And last but not least, our very own Hilda Munnings from Wanstead in East London, born in 1896. Also to become a vitally important member of the company The story starts in St Petersburg in 1901, the heart of the Russian Empire, at the famous Mariinsky Theatre. Their choreographer Marius Petipa and composer Tchaikovsky had already created masterpieces such as The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. These are such familiar names to us today but they were virtually unknown outside Russia at that time. Over in England we were still having a jolly knees up and sing-along at the Music Hall and even in France, ballet had degenerated to a pale shadow of its former glory. In 1901, Lydia Lopokova, just 9 years old, auditioned for a place at the prestigious Imperial Theatre School in St Petersburg.

  • VA Russian Decorative Arts 20 January 2017
    Russian Decorative Arts Dr Jane Williams on the Mosaics of Boris Anrep and Dr Olenka Pevny on the Byzantine Revival in Russian Art Friday 20 January 2017, 14:00-18:00 V&A, Seminar Room A Chair: Dr Heike Zech, V&A Senior Curator, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection The V&A’s rich and diverse collection of Russian and Soviet art includes several works and archives of the émigré mosaic artist, Boris Anrep (1883-1969). Anrep moved to Britain in the second decade of the twentieth century and became an active, highly acclaimed member of the London cultural scene. His artistic interests lay in the revival of Byzantine art, a subject which was central to the modern movement in Russian art and also attracted interest among artistic modernisers in Britain, notably Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group. Anrep worked singlehandedly to revive the mosaic tradition by creating schemes for both religious and secular settings, and his works can be found in public and private spaces in London and around Britain. The most important Anrep work held by the V&A is a large wall mosaic commissioned by Augustus John for his home in Mallord Street; in need of conservation, it is too fragile for display, but will be discussed in the seminar. The speakers will discuss Anrep’s art, and explain the broader context of the Byzantine revival. There will then be an opportunity to view several Anrep designs and related objects in the V&A collection.

  • Robert Colby
    1 Palaces Eternal and Serene: The Vision of Altamura and Isabella Stewart Gardner’s Fenway Court* Robert Colby The 8 December 1907 edition of the Boston Herald claimed to have solved the mystery of a new building at Isabella Gardner’s Fenway Court: “STOREHOUSE BUILT COSTLY AS PALACE.” It went on to explain how the building was erected to house works of art for which there was no room in the museum that had been completed only four years before. Its curious and monumental design, the paper noted, was based on that of a monastery. Like most everything at Fenway Court, the whimsical structure with its baroque detail, austere walls, and oversized trellises was the subject of intense speculation, although its chief practical function was to house carriages and motorcars. Gardner died in 1924, and over the course of the twentieth century the building fell into disrepair. The once-high walls were incrementally lowered and the trellises dismantled, leaving the impression of a stand-alone outbuilding: “the carriage house.” In July of 2009, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum demolished what remained of the structure in order to build a new addition. In its original design, the building referred to Altamura, an aesthetic utopia that was the subject of an essay conceived of by Bernard Berenson, Mary Smith Costelloe, and Logan Pearsall Smith.1 “Altamura” appeared in 1898 in the trio’s self-published “little periodical,” the Golden Urn, and described the yearlong liturgy of a fictive English monastery dedicated to “St. Dion” in an indeterminate Italian locale. The essay outlines a new religion, expressing the full measure of aestheticism’s philosophical potential as Epicurean materialism that was yet possessed of a transcendent dimension.

  • In Dialogue with English Modernism: Storm Jameson's Early
    IN DIALOGUE WITH ENGLISH MODERNISM: STORM JAMESON’S EARLY FORMATION AS A WRITER, 1919-1931 Deborah Frances Gerrard De Montfort University January 2010 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy For Prue and Julia Abstract After a period during which Storm Jameson’s restricted literary identity has been that of the politically engaged woman writer, critical interest in the intellectual and stylistic complexities of her work is now reviving. Yet Jameson’s background in early English modernism and the manner in which it enriches her writing continues to pass unnoticed. This thesis uncovers new evidence of Jameson’s immersion in the early English modernisms of Alfred Orage’s Leeds Arts Club and New Age journal and of Dora Marsden’s journals, the New Freewoman and the Egoist, as an avant-garde student before the Great War. Drawing analogies with the post-colonial notions of ‘Manichean delirium’ and of ‘writing back to the centre’, this thesis argues that, subsequently – as a provincial socialist woman writer struggling to make her way at the predominantly male and elitist cultural centre – Jameson developed a vexed outsider-insider relation to English modernism which she expressed during the 1920s in a series of intertextual novels critiquing the contemporary cultural scene. It examines each of these novels chronologically, beginning with Jameson’s critique of the early modernisms of Orage, Marsden and associated writers in her first two novels, before moving on to her engagement, in turn, with the work of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and Wyndham Lewis. Employing a socially oriented model of intertextuality, this thesis reads each novel synchronically as a sceptical and often witty probing of some of the polarised, and frequently contradictory, positions taken within the modernist debate.

  • The Smith, H.W. Mss., 1817-1987, Consist Primarily of Letters Of
    The Smith, H.W. mss., 1817-1987, consist primarily of letters of Hannah (Whitall) Smith,1832-1911, her two daughters Mary (Smith) Berenson, 1864-1945, and Alys Whitall Pearsall (Smith) Russell, 1867-1951, and Mary's two daughters Ray (Costelloe) Strachey, 1887- 1940, and Karin (Costelloe) Stephen, 1889-1953. Hannah and her husband Robert settled in the Quaker community of Germantown, Pennsylvania after their marriage in 1851. Hannah began preaching and writing on religious subjects, and later became involved in the temperance and suffrage movements. When Mary married an English barrister in 1888, the family moved to England where Hannah continued her work. It was there that Alys married philosopher Bertrand Russell. Alys joined her mother in working for women's rights and had a keen interest in political issues. Meanwhile Mary's marriage to Frank Costelloe failed soon after the birth of their second daughter Karin. Mary left England to tour the museums and cathedrals of Europe with her future husband, art critic Bernard Berenson. Mary's daughters Ray and Karin stayed in England with their father and thrived under the influence of their grandmother Hannah. Ray became the third generation of "Whitall" women to devote her life to women's issues, while Karin became a pioneer in Freudian psychoanalysis and one of Britain's first psychoanalysts. The circle of friends and relatives broadened further when Ray married into the Strachey family and Karin wed Virginia Woolf's brother Adrian Stephen. The correspondence is mostly among these five women, but included is correspondence with other members of the Smith family, extended relations and friends both in the U.S.
