  • 1809 the Glasgow Boys Presentation
    RICKMANSWORTH U3A ART APPRECIATION GROUP The Glasgow Boys September 2018 The Glasgow Boys - influences Jules Bastien-Lepage, (1848 – 1884) French painter of rustic outdoor genre scenes widely imitated in France and England. Bastien-Lepage studied under Alexandre Cabanel, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1870, and won a medal at the Salon of 1874 for Spring Song. Style owes a little to Édouard Manet and in the tradition of Jean-François Millet and Gustave Courbet. A sentimental element characterizes Bastien-Lepage’s work. He was also a portraitist of note. October, 1878,by Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884), Oil on Canvas, 1,807 mm x 1,960 mm, National Gallery of Victoria, Australia The Glasgow Boys - influences James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834 – 1903) American artist, based primarily in the United Kingdom. Averse to sentimentality and moral allusion in painting and a leading proponent of "art for art's sake". While his art is characterized by a subtle delicacy, his public persona was combative. He found a parallel between painting and music and entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes", emphasizing the primacy of tonal harmony. Whistler influenced the art world and the broader culture of his time with his artistic theories and his friendships with leading artists and writers.

  • Dean Village News Issue 174 Summer 2016
    Dean Village News Issue 174 Summer 2016 www.deanvillage.org All Change in Dean Village In July 1939 Allan Watt Ritchie, chief sanitary inspector of the town council, had condemned 96 houses as being unsanitary. As there were no plans to replace these buildings, the 241 individuals affected would be dispersed throughout the city. These plans were abandoned in September due to the impending conflict of World War II and the need to preserve all existing housing. Following the conclusion of the war nothing much happened. Life continued as normal. One house, Bell’s Brae House, was saved by Aleksander Zyw (see page 15). A Polish airman, who was also an artist, he had fallen in love with Dean Village. The house was origi- nally built around 1650. There were stories that the cellars were once used by smugglers to store contraband moved up the river. When Zyw purchased the house in 1946, reportedly for £300, it was a filthy condemned ruin, with the roof caved in. There was a tiny sweet shop at the front. Zyw commissioned a young Basil Spence to do the re- construction. In 1949 there was an attempt to start a potato crisp factory in the large hall in Well Court. Legget’s tannery provided much of the work in the village and in 1957 submitted plans to modernise. (Continued on page 2) 1 Then in November 1958 the Edinburgh Evening News reported that £100,000 was to be spent on renovation of the village. The first phase would concentrate on the bottom of Dean Path and the open areas of Hawthornbank.

  • Walberswick Local History Group
    WALBERSWICK LOCAL HISTORY GROUP NEWSLETTER NO: 63 Christmas 2020 Newsletter Editor’s report DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Still no dates for meeting in the Village Hall but we are working on other ways we may bring presentations to you. Normally at this time of the year we would have our Christmas meeting with drinks, nibbles and good conversation. Instead we are providing another lockdown newsletter. Unusually this newsletter includes only one article. It is not a “festive” article but it does take us on a journey through over 75 years of Walberswick life in the 20th century. It harks back to a time that seemed simpler. However, we would be wise to remember that it encompasses two world wars, the depression and a pandemic amongst other challenges. Nevertheless it is a heart-warming read. One reviewer commented “It’s a wonderfully evocative tale. I feel it’s a stand-alone! It’s beautifully told”. Another said “I found the whole account so interesting: as I mentioned, she describes a life in Walberswick which was just fading away when I was a child. Everybody seemed to have servants: we did, though my parents were as poor as church mice. We had a living-in maid, who was paid her keep and 12s.6d a week. She got married later from our house! I was one of her bridesmaids. She married Wessy Cross junior, son of the erstwhile ferryman; Wessy had an identical brother, Jimmy, who was killed in the war”. The current article has been in the archive since 2011 when it was donated by Brita Haycraft at the same time as she did her “WALBERSWICK MEMORIES OF FIFTY YEARS AGO” which makes up the whole of newsletter No 40, Sept 2011 (you can read this on the internet http://walberswick.onesuffolk.net/assets/WLHG/WLHG-news-letters/WLHG-NEWS-LETTERS-27- 40.pdf.

Throughout her life she collected textiles from Italy, Russia, and the Balkans. After the war Gray resumed portrait painting and excelled particularly with young children. The burgeoning prosperity of Glasgow ensured not only that there were local patrons willing to buy art, but that funding was available to support the education of women as well as men at the Glasgow School of Art. At the beginning of the twentieth century she established her own studio in Glasgow and exhibited at the Glasgow Institute, in Paisley, and in Liverpool. As a daughter of the manse she was dependent on bursary assistance, and was encouraged by Fra Newbery , who was still teaching painting classes himself until , when Maurice Grieffenhagen joined the staff.

    Art & Design Collections 1 Introduction Glasgow Museums’ art collection is one of the finest in the UK. It consists of some 60,000 objects covering a wide range of media including paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, jewellery, furniture and textiles. It provides a comprehensive overview of the history of European art and design and includes masterpieces by major artists such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Whistler and Dali. The art from non-European cultures includes an internationally renowned collection of Chinese art. The development of the art collections began with the bequest in 1854 of 510 paintings by the Glasgow coachbuilder Archibald McLellan. He was a prolific collector of Italian, Dutch and Flemish art and his bequest included gems such as works by Botticelli and Titian. Other gifts and bequests followed, such as the collection of 70 paintings formed by the portraitist John Graham-Gilbert, which included Rembrandt’s famous Man in Armour. Glasgow’s massive expansion in the late nineteenth century saw the rise of an industrial elite who developed a taste for collecting art. Many were extremely discerning and knowledgeable and their gifts now form the backbone of the art collection. William McInnes, a shipping company owner, had a particular fondness for French art. His bequest in 1944 of over 70 paintings included work by Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso. However, the greatest gift undoubtedly came from the shipping magnate Sir William Burrell. His collection of nearly 9,000 objects included a vast array of works of all periods from all over the world, including important medieval tapestries, stained glass, English oak furniture, European paintings and sculpture and important collections of Chinese and Islamic art.
