VENETIAN FILIGREE "In Venetian Filigree we have another marvelously executed plate by Mr. John Taylor Arms showing his love of the texture and surface of architectural forms. His delicate, beautiful line accents the detail of marble and ornament, and the shadows and sunlight play their part in rendering a finished plate, which, by the by, took the prize for the best print by a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers at the First International Exhibition of Prints in Chicago."

  • Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911)
    Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911) The Viol Player (Le joueur de viole) Brown ink, brown wash and black chalk, extensively heightened with white, on buff paper. Signed and dedicated a mon ami Holloway / A. Legros at the lower left corner of the backing sheet. 212 x 223 mm. (8 3/8 x 8 3/4 in.) This drawing is a preparatory study, in reverse, for Legros’ etching Le joueur de viole of c.1868. As one modern scholar has noted, both the drawing and the print ‘strongly evoke Italian prototypes. The viola player set in a landscape suggests Venetian sources. The reserved bystanders in the print are similar to the angels in Piero della Francesca’s famous Baptism of Christ that was acquired by the National Gallery, London in 1861. Contact with latter-day Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Burne-Jones may have motivated Legros to draw upon such sources.’ A related etching by Legros entitled Le joueur de contrebasse may also be dated to the same period. The present sheet bears the artist’s dedication to the printseller Marseille Holloway (d.1910). Holloway dealt in old and modern prints from premises in London, first in Henrietta Street and later in Bedford Street, and published a number of etchings by Legros. The drawing later entered the collection of Frank E. Bliss, who assembled one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of etchings and lithographs by Legros. Together with a large number of drawings and paintings by the artist, these were exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery in London in 1922. Many of the paintings and drawings, including the present sheet, were sold at Christie’s the following year.

Prints by James McNeill Whistler and His Contemporaries is a complementary exhibition to the major retrospective, James McNeill Whistler, on view May 28 through August 20, 1995. Both exhibitions are located in the West Building. "This exhibition is drawn primarily from the National Gallery's permanent collection. Visitors will see fifteen outstanding prints by Whistler presented among works by other leading artists who worked in the rich environment that existed for printmaking in the second half of the nineteenth century," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art.

Meryon's views of old Paris helped focus attention on the rapidly changing city during its renovation into the first great modern capital. Contemporary critics compared Whistler's etchings from this period to those of Rembrandt. The graphic contributions of the impressionists are presented in lithographs, etchings, and monotypes by Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and others.

  • Catalogue of an Exhibition of Etchings by Alphonse Legros : [Held at The] M
    »v CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF ETCHINGS BY ALPHONSE LEGROS Galleries of M. KNOEDLER & CO. 556 Fifth Avenue, near 46th Street October 2nd to 16th, 1915 ALPHONSE LEGROS Peintre et Graveur ~ AXY eulogistic articles have been written and many exhibitions held both in the Old and New Worlds of the works of this great master, but owing to the fact that they ap­ peal more to the artist than to the layman, and also that the number issued of the etchings is unusually small, the gen­ eral public have been unable to come in contact with and thereby study a representative collection of them except on very rare occasions. From Henri Beraldi, in his "Les Graveurs du XIX Siecle." we learn that there were six complete collections of the etchings of Legrosj viz., by MM. Seymour Haden, Jonides, Thibaudeau and Howard' in London and by MM. Burty and Malassis in Paris. Then, in a foot-note, he states there is an­ other complete collection—the most complete known—viz.: (we quote verbatim) "Rapport a l'Academie de Dijon, par Henri Chabeuf: juillet 1888. Cette Academic a decerne a Legros une medaille d'or. Le graveur n'a pas oublie sa ville natale: il a envoye au rnusee de Dijon une belle col­ lection de ses eaux-fortes. L'oeuvre de la Biblio- theque Nationale commence a se developper: il est a desirer qu'il soit pousse au complet. La collection la plus complete connue des eaux-fortes de Legros appartient actuellement a M. T. G. Arthur, de Glas­ gow." (The nucleus of this collection came from the "Thibaudeau" purchased in 1887.) This "most complete collection known," made by M.

Seitz Edinburgh 1910 Otto Schulze & Company 20 South Frederick Street copies 350 have been printed of this book. • * ,. To Robert Hunt Lyman '"PHE abundant literature written by and about James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and the widespread interest manifested in the artist and his works by art-lovers, critics, and collectors, provide the excuse for making this little Bibli- ography. It cannot pretend to be com- plete in all particulars, but will furnish a ready guide, it is hoped, to the more important writings and to the catalogues of the artist's paintings, etchings, and lithographs. Besides being a Master of the Brush, Pencil, and Etching Needle, and pretty handy with his Pen, Mr Whistler was a Master of the great art of attracting attention which is given to a carefully selected few of the earth's millions, by some well-planned scheme that accu- rately gauges the amount the universe can a i Writings by and about stand. This he cultivated and practised. From the West Point day, when he neglected to recall that \ silicon was not a gas, to his last hour he made himself the centre of interest in whatever circle he cared to affect until the world was his stage. Theatrical, eccentric, and quarrelsome according to the common view, he had, on the other hand, a nice idea of the re- quirements of advertising, and quite upset the ethics of his profession by his assiduity in keeping himself before the public until his merits as an artist were so clearly recognized as no longer to need what might be called the " playing up " of his personality.

  • Print Rebels
    Bankside Gallery | 48 Hopton Street | London SE1 9JH | 020 7928 7521 | [email protected] Print REbels Haden, Palmer, Whistler and the Origins of the RE (The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers) 25 April - 13 May 2018, Private View 24 April 6-8pm Bankside Gallery Then touring to other UK venues in 2018 and 2019 1. Print REbels celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the founder and first President of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, Sir Francis Seymour Haden. A prestigious collection of works has been brought together to show prints produced by Haden along with those who inspired him such as Rembrandt and Dürer, and his contemporaries, including Samuel Palmer and JAM Whistler. In 1880, the time the RE was founded, artists such as Haden, Palmer and Whistler were considered revolutionary in their championing of printmaking as a creative medium. In mid-Victorian England, printmaking was seen primarily as a means to make reproductions of artworks, and many printmakers only made a living working as a copyist. These printmakers were not eligible for membership of The Royal Academy, as creative printmaking was not recognised as an art form on the same level as painting and sculpture. It was this that prompted Haden to rebel against this and form a new society, the RE. Haden and Whistler are credited with instigating the Etching Revival, an art movement which lasted 75 years. The RE has always been closely connected with the RA, with several Royal Academicians being founding members of the RE along with Seymour Haden, and the 2nd 3rd and 4th RE Presidents being also RAs.

Henri Fantin-Latour, Alphonse Legros, and James McNeill Whistler were amongst these hopeful artists in the 1850s. While each eventually created a thriving practise for himself, each also fought to establish his artistic career and identity during these early years. Because the narrative of a young, struggling artist is not an uncommon one, this stage is often brushed aside when examining the trajectory of these artists’ careers.

All the works discussed were exhibited at the Royal Academy, which, although it underwent modifications in status, remained the nearest equivalent to a State Institution for Art in Britain. All the paintings shown there were painted with the knowledge that they were to be seen by the controllers of the Academy and the dominant classes of society. It will be inferred then, that the paintings shown there may be taken to have been acceptable to ruling class ideologies, and are therefore instructive of "official" attitudes to military art. Representations of the contemporary Army, in this period, fell into two main catagories - battle paintings and genre depictions of soldiers. Chapters one to three survey battle paintings; studying the relation of this genre to the Academy; the relative popularity of the genre and the career patterns of its practioners. The critical reception of battle pictures at the Academy and certain important public competitions will be noted and considered in the context of contemporary ideologies about art and about the Army and its men. Chapter four discusses the vital concept of "heroism" and its treatment in English military art. In particular, the reasons for the popularity of certain military figures above their peers, in academic art, will be explored. It will be argued that the process of "hero-making" in art was not determined by professional success alone, but was often the result of the intervention of patrons, publicists and pressure groups.
