The works—including Two Plants, Bananas, Cyclamen, The Painter’s Golden Age brought us Rembrandt, Vermeer, Rubens, and Van Garden, and Interior at Paddington—reveal Freud’s singular Dyck, but it was also the period of Frans Hals’ revolutionary approach to plant life. Readers unfamiliar with this aspect of portraiture, Adriaen Brouwer’s depictions of the working Freud’s work will find many similarities to his portraits—earthy class at play, Jan Brueghel’s velvety miniatures, and Hendrick palettes, unconventional rawness, and assiduous attention to Avercamp’s lively winter landscapes.

The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century.

    3rd EDITION 1 & 2 OCTOBER 2020 Preventing war : responding to new threats EDITORIAL Given the COVID-19 pandemic, it was impossible to organise the Normandy World Peace Forum in its original format and on its original dates, just before the commemorations in honour of the Allied landings on 6 June 1944. Nevertheless, it was important to the Normandy Region to continue with this international event which is even more relevant in view of the global pandemic. ©R.Chapron The 3rd edition on “Preventing war: responding to new threats” will address the three major areas of risk in today’s world: a Hervé Morin breakdown of social ties, environmental issues and the use of President of the new technologies. In addition to these threats, we are living Normandy Region through a pandemic which has accentuated economic and social inequalities around the world and has highlighted the limits of our development model. Public figures will debate these questions. In addition, the Forum will pay tribute to the role of women in peace-building with debates organised in partnership with ELLE magazine and UN Women France. The Forum’s programme features three major conferences, fifteen debates, two cultural evenings, a Village for Peace with musical entertainment and photography exhibitions, youth events including the European programme Walk the Global Walk, focusing on the UN’s sustainable development projects, and the Freedom Prize award ceremony, where Loujain Al Hathloul will be recognised as the winner of the 3rd edition, and much more. Initially launched by the Normandy Region, the Normandy World Peace Forum forms a part of the region’s continued efforts over the decades to focus on remembrance, along with many initiatives which have been developed to share these memories and to support new generations as they try to understand the modern world and the peace-building process.

    33 BARONY STREET WWW.INGLEBYGALLERY.COM INGLEBY EDINBURGH EH3 6NX [email protected] SCOTLAND TEL No + 44 (0)131 556 4441 THOMAS JOSHUA COOPER Thomas Joshua Cooper is one of the most celebrated and distinctive landscape photographers working anywhere in the world today. He was born in California in 1946 but has lived in Scotland for many years. Cooper is the founding head of photography at Glasgow School of Art but spends much of his life seeking out the edges of the world. Like artists such as Richard Long, and Hamish Fulton, Cooper is a traveller, a nomadic artist whose extraordinary photographs are made in series at significant points around the globe, most often at its extremities. The capturing of any one image can involve days, weeks and months of preparation, arduous travel and considerable efforts to achieve. The locations are found on a map, tracked down and then photographed, each place the subject of a single negative taken with a weighty antique field camera. They are meditative, almost philosophical images, exquisitely printed by the artist in the 19th century manner with layers of silver and gold chloride. In each place the geography may not be readily identifiable, the image on cusp of dissolving into abstraction. Between September 2019 and January 2020 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art presented Atlas of Emptiness and Extremity, The World's Edge, an exhibition of 65 images marking the completion of Cooper's epic Atlas project. Over 32 years Cooper voyaged to the cardinal points of the continents fringing the Atlantic Basin, charting from pole to pole, and making photographs out to horizonless seas and over apparently limitless landscapes.

    Bibliothèque Dernières acquisitions de janvier 2020 Christine SPENGLER Opéra du Monde Photographe et écrivaine française. À l’âge de 7 ans, après le divorce de ses parents, Christine Spengler est envoyée à Madrid chez ses oncle et tante, diplomates. Elle y étudie la littérature française et espagnole au lycée français, rêvant de devenir écrivain. Au Tchad, à l’âge de 25 ans, avec le Nikon qu’elle emprunte à son frère Éric, elle découvre sa vocation en photographiant des combattants Toubou armés de kalachnikovs partant au front main dans la main. Elle apprend son métier sur le terrain, devenant à la mort de son frère l’une des premières femmes correspondantes de guerre. Désireuse de témoigner des deuils du monde faisant écho au sien, elle se place délibérément du côté des opprimés et des marginaux. Avec son appareil photo et un objectif grand angle de 28 mm, elle couvre en noir et blanc pour les agences Sipa Press, Associated Press et Corbis Sygma les soulèvements armés et les guerres en Irlande du Nord (1972), au Vietnam (1973), au Cambodge (1974), au Sahara occidental (1976/1979), au Salvador (1980), au Nicaragua (1981), au Liban (1982), au Kosovo, en Afghanistan (1997), en Irak (2003) L’Opéra du Monde, réfère à une conception simple et réfléchie de la photographie: "un opéra, c’est tragique et magnifique à la fois". Cet opéra couvre 30 années de conflits et révèle pour la première fois deux aspects de son œuvre, le premier issu de sa carrière de correspondante de guerre de renommée internationale et le second plus personnel, plus fantasque, avec des travaux artistiques colorés plus récents.

  • The Photography of Edward Chambré Hardman Peter
    The Continuity of Landscape Representation: The Photography of Edward Chambré Hardman (1898-1988) Peter Hagerty A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This research programme was carried out in collaboration with the E.Chambré Hardman Trust, Liverpool. May 1999 Abstract The major source of material for the research was the archive of the E.Chambré Hardman’s Trust. This archive comprises Hardman’s bequest of photographs, negatives and associated ephemera. Prior to the present research the author had undertaken extensive ordering and conservation of this collection and the present work therefore builds upon this earlier research. The research divides Hardman’s oeuvre into portraiture and landscape, along lines that he had determined by ordering and concern. The thesis focuses exclusively on his landscape photography. The representation of landscape is a recognised genre within the history of art. The thesis locates the landscape photography of the British photographer Edward Chambré Hardman (1898-1988) within the histories of landscape photography and to the broader genre of landscape representation by British artists during the first half of the twentieth century. The research describes the representations of landscape made by painters prior to the invention of photography as providing the initial subject model for photographers. Subsequently photographers wrote their own history of landscape representation and it is to this tradition to which Hardman is heir. Using Hardman’s notebooks, diaries, letters and collected ephemera the research constructs an accurate chronology for Hardman’s life and the sequential production of his landscape photographs.
