Art Appreciation Lecture Template Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2021 Love, sex and death: The constant companions of art Elizabeth (Stanhope) Forbes: art and life in Victorian Britain Josephine Touma, Manager Public Programs, Art Gallery of New South Wales 10 & 11 March, 2021 Lecture summary: Walking through the Schaeffer gallery of nineteenth-century British art, you might have come across a painting of a young girl playing the lute, sitting before a window in a Victorian domestic interior. With the title Mignon, the label tells us it depicts a tragic character from a Goethe novel. Coinciding with International Women’s Day, my lecture will take a closer look at this painting and others by the remarkable and under-acknowledged Canadian-British artist Elizabeth Forbes (neé Armstrong, 1859-1912), painter, printmaker, poet, illustrator and co-founder of the Newlyn Art School. Forbes’ work – largely populated by women and children, real and fictional – reveals much about Victorian attitudes to life, love and loss. And a new look at it might reveal some of our 21st century assumptions about art, history and gender.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

    ‘ART OF A SECOND ORDER’ The First World War From The British Home Front Perspective by RICHENDA M. ROBERTS A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies School of Languages, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham September 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Little art-historical scholarship has been dedicated to fine art responding to the British home front during the First World War. Within pre-war British society concepts of sexual difference functioned to promote masculine authority. Nevertheless in Britain during wartime enlarged female employment alongside the presence of injured servicemen suggested feminine authority and masculine weakness, thereby temporarily destabilizing pre-war values. Adopting a socio-historical perspective, this thesis argues that artworks engaging with the home front have been largely excluded from art history because of partiality shown towards masculine authority within the matrices of British society. Furthermore, this situation has been supported by the writing of art history, which has, arguably, followed similar premise.

  • Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854-1931)
    THOMAS COOPER GOTCH (1854-1931) The strategic career choices of Thomas Cooper Gotch illustrate the diverse options available to a British painter in the 1890s. Dissatisfied with his initial lack of success working in the French-influenced naturalist style of the Newlyn School in Cornwall, he eventually became a recognized contributor to turn-of-the- century art by re-introducing into his work academic realist detail, tightly painted surfaces, and bright colours, along with a Symbolist subject matter focused primarily on children. Born in Kettering, Northamptonshire, in 1854 to a family of bankers and shoe factory owners, Gotch broke with family expectations by choosing a career in art. Arthur Tanner. Mr. T. C. Gotch, 1895, Photograph, Somewhat unusually for an English Black and White: A Weekly Illustrated Record and Review, 21 Sept. 1895, p. 379. painter, his art training was international, 1 beginning at Heatherley’s, an independent drawing academy in London (1876–1877; 1878) and continuing at the Koninklijke Academie in Antwerp (1877–1878). He then returned to London, to study first with portrait painter Samuel Lawrence (1878) and then with the French artist Alphonse Legros at the Slade School of Art (1878–1880). Seeking a variety of influences and experiences, Gotch next moved to Paris to become a pupil in the atelier of Jean-Paul Laurens (1880–1883). From 1883 to 1887, he was based in London again, finally moving more permanently to Newlyn in 1887 to participate in its art colony. A break with the dominant Newlyn style earned Gotch a measure of prominence in the 1890s, and he exhibited internationally at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893); the Paris Salon (1895, medal; 1896, medal); the Berlin International (1896, medal); the Brussels International Exhibition (1897), and the Exposition Universelle de Paris (1900, hon.

  • British Canvas, Stretcher and Panel Suppliers' Marks. Part 12, England Outside London
    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 12, England outside London This guide surveys suppliers’ marks and labels on the reverse of picture supports. This part is devoted to suppliers in England excluding London. Marks relating to framing, restoration and picture dealing are not treated here. Part 14, devoted to restorers, includes the canvas stamps of R.W. King (Yarmouth and Norwich) and J.R. Taylor (Manchester). Several of the suppliers bought in materials from larger companies and applied their own label or stamp, often quite small. Examples include Keet (on a Roberson support), Mason (Ackermann & Co and Roberson & Miller), Lanham, Norton and Whitehead (Winsor & Newton), Tovey and Whitehead (G. Rowney & Co). Measurements of marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the stretching or later conservation treatment of a canvas or the trimming of a label. Links are given to institutional websites where the dimensions of works can be found. For individual suppliers, see the database, British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples.

    3rd March 2017 STANDING OUT THE MAGAZINE FOR MOUNTS BAY ACADEMY Cover: Penlee Gallery Curation Project 1st November 2019 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT …follow your dreams We live in a world that moves at an astonishing pace, we are used to seeing the news in ‘sound bites’, We read communications on our devices in “textspeak”, the abbreviated language and slang commonly used with mobile phones, text messaging, or other internet-based communication such as email. We get used to using reading and writing short sentences that display well on a small device when instant messaging. We are even encouraged to listen to our music using “cloud based” services and watch our television “on demand” so that we can watch what we like when we like. This often results in us “binge viewing” a whole series of programmes all at once. Have you ever wondered why we do what we do? Could it be that we like stories that are longer than an instant message? Well there is another way of satisfying our urge to “binge” a story. We have a library full of them, they are called books. A book can take you to places in your mind that you would never have dreamt of, give you stories that will light up your imagination and expand your horizons. Books are great, we should read more of them. To help with that, I have themed the reception area to allow for an additional quiet space for you to use when reading, so relax, enjoy some of the great books we have to offer and see if they give you the inspiration to follow your dreams.

  • Cornwall Artists Index
    6/29/2014 Arthur HAYWARD | cornwall artists index cornwall artists index Arthur HAYWARD 1889—1971 Born at Southport, Lancashire, Hayward studied architecture at South Kensington but gave it up for painting, and subsequently studied at the Warrington School of Art and under Stanhope FORBES (/cornw all-artists/stanhope-forbes) at Newlyn. During WWI he served with Royal Field Artillery, and returned to Newlyn, being addressed as Captain Hayward. He joined the Committee of the NSA (/cornw all-artists/nsa) , serving specifically on the Entertainments sub-committee, as his organisation skills were well known. After working at Newlyn and Paul, he moved to St Ives, and established a St Ives School of Painting (c1924) of which he was the named Principal - not the same School of Painting now in existence, begun in the 1930s with Leonard John FULLER (/cornw all-artists/leonard-john-fuller) in charge. He worked from Treveneth and Shore Studio (Illus, Tovey, p110), and played an important role in STISA (/cornw all- artists/stisa) . After 1932 he refused to have anything more to do with that organisation, but continued to play a part in St Ives and Newlyn's artistic life through the formation of an exhibiting set calling themselves the CORNWALL GROUP. The HARVEYS (Harold HARVEY (/cornw all-artists/harold-harvey) & Gertrude HARVEY (/cornw all-artists/gertrude-harvey) ), the PROCTERS (Ernest PROCTER (/cornw all-artists/ernest-procter) & Dod PROCTER (/cornw all-artists/dod-procter) ), Hugh GRESTY (/cornw all-artists/hugh-gresty) , Alison ROSE and Midge BRUFORD (/cornw all-artists/midge-bruford) were those who banded together for some years.
