  • ICRC Bloomsbury in Dorset
    Bloomsbury in Dorset: Manufacturing Modernisms at Poole Pottery 1914-1939 James King Abstract This essay evaluates the pursuit by Poole Pottery (the firm was called Carter, Stabler and Adams during most of the time period discussed here) of a variety of modernist aesthetics from 1914 to 1939 and argues that Poole's incorporation of various types of modernist fine art into its wares owes a great deal to its association with the Omega Workshops in the 1910s. Poole's involvement from about 1914 to after 1916 with Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant may be well documented1, but this essay speculates that Poole's indebtedness to the Omega Workshops and its adherence to Post- Impressionism is more pervasive and longer lasting than previously argued. More specifically, it also argues, that in the instance of Poole's most celebrated designer, Truda Carter, the Bloomsbury influence was transformative: when she arrived at Poole, she refined the work of James Radley Young, who had worked directly with the Omega Workshops. His geometrically inspired designs did not ultimately suit her, and she achieved her own distinct look by incorporating high modernist and post-impressionist design in her wares. In using the term high modernist, I am referring to pottery that deliberately incorporates borrowings from cubism and vorticism as design elements; I use the term Post-Impressionist to refer to design elements that specifically utilize naturalist elements while at the same time exaggerating them to push them in the direction of abstraction. KEY WORDS: Truda Carter, modernism, Post-Impressionist design, Poole Pottery ‘A More or Less Experiment’ Poole stood apart from its competitors because of its location in Dorset, far removed from the Potteries in Staffordshire.

  • Bolsover Street to Cleveland Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 24 Bolsover Street to Cleveland Street The sense of backwater permeating the district between Great Portland Street and Cleveland Street is strongest north of New Cavendish Street. This area, a rough triangle truncated at the north end where it meets Euston Road, is the subject of this chapter. There are two major excisions: existing buildings in the northern part of Great Titchfield Street are dealt together with the rest of the street in Chapter 23, while the north side of New Cavendish Street east of Great Portland Street is covered in Chapter 25, except for the University of Westminster buildings, which are described in Chapter 32. The buildings hereabouts are thoroughly mixed in scale, genre and social level, and also in age, the few remnants of the original Georgian development being mainly confined to Cleveland Street, where they include a terrace of the 1790s at Nos 139–151. They range from workshops to offices, hotels and educational establishments; among housing types are examples of the artisan flats which replaced terrace houses in this sector of the Portland– Howard de Walden estate after 1890, some hostels or halls of residence, notably in Bolsover Street; and the remarkable Holcroft Court of 1968–71, south-east Marylebone’s sole public housing estate. Holcroft Court takes up a complete street block, as do some other of its neighbours of similar date, notably the Holiday Inn facing Carburton Street, and Collingwood House between New Cavendish Street and Clipstone Street (page ###). Lacking any firm topographical identity, streets in this district were formerly associated for the purposes of address typically with Portland Road or Great Portland Street; or else with Fitzroy Square, beyond the Marylebone Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT boundary along Cleveland Street in St Pancras.

Howland St. [recommended by] Mr Planta/ 6 months This is probably intended for the Scottish landscape painter Hugh Irvine (1782– 1829), who exhibited from 8 Howland Street in 1809. “This young gentleman, at an early period of life, manifested a strong inclination for the study of art, and for several years his application has been unremitting. For some time he was a pupil of Mr Reinagle of London, whose merit as an artist is well known; and he has long been a close student in landscape afer Nature” (Thom, History of Aberdeen, 1: 198). He was the third son of Alexander Irvine, 18th laird of Drum, Aberdeenshire (1754–1844), and his wife Jean (Forbes; d.1786). His uncle was the artist and art dealer James Irvine (1757–1831). Alexander Irvine had four sons and a daughter; Alexander (b.1777), Charles (b.1780), Hugh, Francis, and daughter Christian. There is no record of a Ralph Irvine among the Irvines of Drum (Wimberley, Short Account), nor was there a Royal Academy student or exhibiting or listed artist of this name, so this was surely a clerical error or misunderstanding.
