  • Eric Gill Special Collection
    an introduction to the Eric Gill Special Collection Portrait of Eric Gill (1882-1940) was an English engraver, sculptor, typographer, and writer Eric Gill who lived and worked in and near London. The University of Notre Dame collection includes over 2,000 items of Eric Gill’s work: books, pamphlets, broadsides, prints, greeting cards, calendars, sketches, wood blocks, photographs, and other formats. The Gill Collection also includes many examples of the work by men who worked with or apprenticed with Gill (Hilary Pepler, Philip Hagreen, Joseph Cribb, David Jones, and Desmund Chute), most of the imprints of the Golden Cockerel Press (which produced The Four Gospels engraved by Gill), and an extensive selection of the output from Gill’s own St. Dominic’s Press. There are hundreds of fine art prints and over 100 photographs of Gill’s sculptures. The collection was acquired in 1965 from John Bennett Shaw (Notre Dame alumnus ’37), who purchased it from Evan Gill, Eric’s brother. Since 1965, the collection has been added to selectively. The collection has a large and interdisciplinary audience. The Gill Trial Proofs of Collection encompasses the genres of drawing, sculpture, Eric Gill’s lettering, engraving, and printing, as well as the intellectual Hand & Eye, with a pencil sketch at pursuits of art theory, religion, and social philosophy. It is thus of left, 1908. interest to students and researchers in art history, graphic design, This was used by the book arts, fine printing and the history of printing, and the Gill as a personal symbol. social thinking of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

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.

  • Sweet Thames Run Softly, You Might Wonder Wif Robert Gibbings Is Your Ideal Companion
    introduction Luke Jennings hen picking up Sweet Thames Run Softly, you might wonder Wif Robert Gibbings is your ideal companion. The river runs a considerable length, and you might consider that his didactic manner, and his schoolmasterly disquisitions on Ovid and Theophrastus, are more than a little creaky to the twenty-first century sensibility. Some of the book’s descriptive passages are fairly purple, like his description of a dream in which small creatures living in a country lane ‘all came to me and led me to their nests, drawing aside the sheltering roots and leaves that I might see into their homes’. But Gibbings wins you over. His curiosity, his erudition, and his eye for arcane detail persuade you of the need to continue. He is the kind of man who carries a microscope in a punt, in case, moored in a backwater on a Saturday evening, he feels moved to examine sedimentary diatoms. ‘Some were crystal clear bordered with gold, some were sculptured like a cowrie shell, others recalled the cuttlefish that we find on our shores’. Turning up a water lily, he discovers ‘Aquatic caterpillars . as well as small trumpet shells, and semi-transparent snails whose cat-like faces extruded as they marched along, seeking what they might devour’. This is science filtered through an artist’s eye, and the result is wonderfully strange. Gibbings was born in Cork in 1889, and grew up in Kinsale, where his father was the rector. He studied medicine for three years before turning to art, eventually studying in London at the Central School and The Slade.

  • A MEDIUM for MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY and AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997
    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

    Glover’s and Fairburn’s Inklings Lindsay Rollo Trade journals issued by New Zealand companies, as distinct from trade or industry magazines, were not that common in the period 1945-55. One that deserves a place in the local literary and typographical annals is Inkling. Published for just 37 issues by the Christchurch-based company Morrison & Morrison (M & M) from June 1947 to August 1951, it includes three pieces each by two of New Zealand‘s leading lights of that literary nationalism that emerged in the late 1930s. THE PUBLISHER M & M started in 1906 as printing ink manufacturers and expanded over time to have branches in the then four main centres. Their activities also diversified to include the sale of type, printing trade sundries, and machinery. After World War II it was one of a group of companies offering comparable services to the printing and allied trades throughout New Zealand. It was this company that provided boat fares in 1939 for Denis Glover and his printing partner John Drew to visit Wellington to look at printing machines.1 Glover and Drew were the two working principals of what subsequently became the Caxton Press. They bought a German machine- fed (automatic) rotary press, presumably not only to incrementally expand their printing capacity, but also to relieve the drudgery and limited production capacity of their hand-fed Wharfedale rotary press. They still had and used their hand-fed platen press (which had been converted from treadle to electric motor driven). It may be assumed that by 1947 M & M management had defined a need to increase their recognition in the marketplace and decided to issue their own free trade journal, initially monthly but as time went on reduced to two-monthly.
