  • The Leeds Arts Club and the New Age: Art and Ideas in a Time of War by Tom Steele Thank You Very Much Nigel, That's a Very Generous Introduction
    TRANSCRIPT Into the Vortex: The Leeds Arts Club and the New Age: Art and Ideas in a Time of War by Tom Steele Thank you very much Nigel, that's a very generous introduction. Thank you for inviting me back to the Leeds Art Gallery where I spent so many happy hours. As Nigel said, the book was actually published in 1990, but it was a process of about 5 or 6 year work, in fact it's turned into a PHD. I've not done a lot of other work on it since, I have to say some very very good work has been done on Tom Perry and other peoples in the meantime, and it's grievously in danger of being the new edition, which I might or might not get around to, but maybe somebody else will. Anyway, what I'm going to do is to read a text. I'm not very good at talking extensively, and it should take about 40 minutes, 45 minutes. This should leave us some time for a discussion afterwards, I hope. Right, I wish I'd thought about the title and raw text before I offered the loan up to the gallery, because it makes more sense, and you'll see why as we go along. I want to take the liberty of extending the idea of war to cover the entire decade 1910-1920, one of the most rebellious and innovative periods in the history of British art. By contrast, in cultural terms, we now live in a comparatively quiet period.

  • Intangible Heritage(S): an Interplay of Design, Social and Cultural Critiques of the Built Environment
    TANGIBLE - INTANGIBLE HERITAGE(S): AN INTERPLAY OF DESIGN, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT • Paper / Proposal Title: ‘ARCHITECTS – WHERE IS YOUR VORTEX? VORTICISM, THE CITY AND URBAN EXPERIENCE • Author(s) Name: Dr. JONATHAN BLACK FRSA • University or Company Affiliation: KINGSTON SCHOOL OF ART, KINGSTON UNIVERSITY • Presentation Method. I would like to: i. present in person (with/without a written paper)* • Abstract (300 words): From its conception in the spring of 1914 the British avant garde art movement known as Vorticism was obsessed with the city and urban existence as central to the forward march of technologically innovative modernity. Indeed, the movement largely owed its very name to the American poet Ezra Pound having already identified London as the ‘great modern vortex’, the end point for all the energies of modern life and of British/Imperial power. My paper is rooted in many years of research into Vorticism and British Art before, during and after the First World War. It will focus on some of the many images that evoked the strikingly positive Vorticist vision of the city – one that as much looked to the example of vertically vertiginous New York as that by experimental thinkers on the European continent – by leading adherents of the movement such as: Wyndham Lewis, Edward Wadsworth, Frederick Etchells, Jessica Dismorr and Helen Saunders. Living in London much of their imagery was indebted to that city. However, examples will be discussed alongside a group of woodcut prints produced c. 1914-18 by Wadsworth inspired by the cities and industrial towns of his native Yorkshire such as Leeds, Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield.

    Peter Bexte Haarrisse im Gefüge. Bemerkungen zu kleinen Unterschieden Die folgenden Überlegungen zielen nicht etwa auf kleine Dinge, sondern auf kleine Unterschiede. Sie thematisieren minimale Differenzen, wie sie an beliebig großen Gegenständen auftreten können. Näher betrachtet geht es um relationale Gefüge von Kolorit, Schattierung, Musterbildung. Die Minimalisierung von Unterschieden auf diesem Terrain eröffnet seltsame Überlagerungen von Kunst, Militär und Biolo- gie, will sagen: Ton-in-Ton-Malerei, Camouflage und Mimese. 1. Ton in Ton 1991 malte Martin Kippenberger eine Serie von elf weißen Bildern ohne Titel. Sie wirken bis heute überraschend. Man wird bei dem Namen Kippenberger wohl kaum als erstes an monochrome Malerei denken. Im Gegenteil ist dieses Enfant terrible der postmodernen Kunstszene niemals vor greller Farbigkeit zurückgeschreckt, oft verbunden mit launigen Bildtiteln. Darin traf er sich mit dem Boom an neo-ex- pressiver/postmoderner Malerei der 1980er Jahre. Dagegen nun elf scheinbar rein weiße Leinwände. Sie sind nicht oft gezeigt worden, zuerst 1992 im Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris. 2006 waren sie in der Tate Gallery London zu sehen, 2013 auch im Hamburger Bahnhof Berlin. Wer den großen Parcours der Berliner Ausstellung mit vielen bunten Bildern durchlaufen hatte, betrat schließlich einen hellen und seltsam leer wirkenden Raum. Manche Besucher haben sich irritiert umgeschaut, nach Kunst gesucht, sie nicht gefunden und sind wieder gegangen. Tatsächlich war die Malerei in diesem Raum nicht auf den ersten Blick zu entdecken; vielmehr war sie in aller Offenheit verborgen, und genau dies war der Kunstgriff. Es war nämlich die Idee des Künst- lers, dass diese elf weißen Leinwände nicht etwa in einen Rahmen gefasst und auf der Wand ausgestellt werden sollten, sondern in der Wand.

  • How Did an Artist Use Cubism to Fight the War at Sea?
    How did an artist use Cubism to fight the war at sea? Video transcript – The legacy of dazzle By the end of the First World War, dazzle camouflage had been applied to more than 2000 ships. And the number of vessels sunk by U-boats had begun to fall. However, there is no definitive proof that this was all thanks to Wilkinson's scheme. Dazzle camouflage was used alongside other U-Boat countermeasures and merchant ships sailed in convoys protected by naval escorts. The Admiralty had clearly been impressed by Norman Wilkinson's plan, and had rolled it out as quickly as possible. But they did not have conclusive evidence of effective it was. What they did agree upon, however, was the value of the scheme as a morale- booster. It made the crew on these spectacular ships feel safer from attack. The US Navy continued to use dazzle into World War Two, until development of radar technology made it redundant. Wilkinson also went back to work in World War Two. He helped to disguise Britain's airfields - this time using more traditional colours. The military value of dazzle remains unclear, but it certainly had an impact in the art world. The artist Edward Wadsworth worked for Wilkinson supervising the painting of dazzle ships. He was one of the founders of the Vorticist art movement. The dazzle elements in his work are clear to see. The most famous cubist artist of them all, Picasso, is said to have “stopped spell- bound” on the streets of Paris when he saw a tank painted in a dazzle pattern.

  • Dazzle Exhibition Information
    St Barbe Exhibitions 2018/2019 DAZZLE: Disguise and Disruption in War and Art 16 June - 22 September 2018 The use of Dazzle patterning on warships was introduced during the First World War, not with the intention of helping the ships to blend in with their surroundings, but to confuse U-Boat commanders as to the direction and speed in which a vessel was travelling. The inspiration behind Dazzle painting is usually credited to British marine artist Norman Wilkinson who led the Admiralty’s Dazzle Section based at the Royal Academy in London. Wilkinson recruited a team of artists who designed patterns to be applied to warships, passenger ships and cargo ships. Dazzle’s dramatic patterning owed something to pre-war avant-garde art movements such as Futurism and Vorticism, indeed Vorticist artist Edward Wadsworth became a part of the Dazzle team. This exhibition, guest curated by art historian and author James Taylor, looks at the development of Dazzle patterning in Britain and will be based around paintings, prints and drawings made at the time by artists such as Wilkinson, Wadsworth, Fergusson and many more on loan from the Imperial War Museum, National Maritime Museum, regional and private collections. The exhibition will also feature models and plans used by the artists to prepare the patterns for painting on to the ships themselves. We are delighted that the Wilkinson Estate is supporting the development of the exhibition and that Southampton City Art Gallery will mount an exhibition on Dazzle’s influence on contemporary art and design to complement the St Barbe show.

  • Der Modifizierung Bedürfen. Wir Möchten Nur Einen Rollentausch
    der Modifizierung bedürfen. Wir möchten nur einen Rollentausch vorschlagen und statt des bescheidenen „Georgsmeisters" neben dem .Passionsmeister" einen .Auf­ erstehungsmeister" in die Diskussion einführen, in dem wir den Protomagister von Nagoricino zu sehen glauben. Wenn man sich einmal mit der Existenz eines solchen .Auferstehungsmeisters' an­ gefreundet hat, werden manche Hilfskonstruktionen des Verf. entbehrlich erscheinen, so die Annahme eines recht kurzen .Konstantinopler Intermezzos" in Studenica, das nur für den .Passionsmeister' gebraucht wurde (S. 181 f.), aber sich aus der Sicht des .Auferstehungsmeisters' nicht mehr so episodenhaft ausnimmt. Allerdings ist jetzt die Frage wieder offen, welche Rolle der für Nagoricino so überzeugend charakterisierte .Passionsmeister' in den älteren Schöpfungen der „Malerschule' gespielt hat, d. h. die Frage nach den Personalstilen und dem wirklichen oeuvre der .Malerschule". Die Frage hat grundsätzliche Bedeutung, denn führt sie hier zu befriedigenden Ergebnissen, so wird auch für andere Bereiche der spätbyzantinischen Wandmalerei viel gewonnen sein. Sie sollte einstweilen unabhängig von den überlieferten Malernamen angefaßt werden und von vornherein mit einem größeren Umfang eines solchen mittelalterlichen Werkstättenbetriebes rechnen,als ihn die Zahl der Namen suggeriert. Bei der weiteren Diskussion des Problems .Michael und Eutychios' wird man immer wieder auf H. zurückgreifen müssen,dessen Arbeit im Methodischen einen beträcht­ lichen Gewinn für die Geschichte der spätbyzantinischen Malerei bedeutet. Sie stellt einen imponierenden Versuch dar, auf die schwierige Frage nach einer Künstler­ entwicklung im Rahmen spätbyzantinischer Werkstätten exakt begründete Antworten zu finden. Wenn ihre Ergebnisse heute neu überprüft werden müssen, so darf dabei nicht vergessen werden, daß H. von einem älteren Zustand der Denkmäler ausgegan­ gen ist, der sich inzwischen durch die Reinigung der Fresken wesentlich verändert hat.
