  • It Is Now a Number of Years Since the Bowman Sculpture Gallery Has Held
    It is now a number of years since the Bowman Sculpture Gallery has held an exhibition solely focused on The New School of British Sculpture and it is a pleasure to see the Gallery again showing extensive examples of the leading artists involved. The New British School, also referred to as the New Sculpture, followed a period when the Neo Classicism of such sculptors as Canova, Thorvaldsen and Gibson was regarded as the acme of their art and they featured in many of the great Houses of the time. Towards the end of the 19th Century the expanding middle class, who had a growing interest in the Arts, created a demand for smaller and more domestic sculpture began. At the same time painters such as Lord Leighton, who sculpted Athlete Wrestling with a Python and The Sluggard, and George Frederick Watts, who produced the great monument Physical Energy, were bringing ‘colour’ into the subject by varied patination and their treatment of shape. This movement was undoubtedly fuelled by a reaction against what was seen to be the severity of the Neo Classicists but the principal initiators of this ‘New’, most attractive and impressive period of British Sculpture, were Jules Dalou who taught at The South Kensington School of Art, for eight years from 1871, his friend Édouard Lantéri, who taught at The National Art Training College (later renamed The Royal College of Art) and Alfred Stevens. The result was, as one critic has said, ‘a perfect synthesis of the spiritual and the sensual’. This approach to the subject was adopted by the ‘New’ sculptors.

So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Nathaniel Hitch and the Making of Church Sculpture Claire Jones
    Nathaniel Hitch and the Making of Church Sculpture Claire Jones Housed at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds is the archive of the now little-known sculptor, architectural sculptor, and sculptor’s modeller, Nathaniel Hitch (1845–1938).1 Unlike the extensive manuscript, printed, and visual material in Hamo Thornycroft’s archive, also held at the Henry Moore Institute, Hitch’s consists of hundreds of photographs pasted into two albums. These demonstrate the range of sculptural activity undertaken by Hitch, including figurative work, architectural sculpture, and anima- lier sculpture. Above all, they represent sculpture intended for Christian places of worship: recumbent effigies; altars; free-standing figures of saints, bishops, and biblical figures; reliefs of biblical scenes; Christ on the cross; Christ in groups; the Virgin Mary and Child; and sculpture for church fur- niture and furnishings. Hitch’s archive therefore offers significant docu- mentation for the study of Victorian sculpture practice outside the more familiar areas of the Academy and ideal classical sculpture: namely, church sculpture. The photographs are taken within Hitch’s studio or workshop. The space itself is only fragmentarily visible, and the sculptor himself is noticea- bly absent from all the photographs. This is distinct to the ‘at home’ and ‘in studio’ photographs of society sculptors such as Thornycroft, which recent scholarship has usefully examined in terms of the private-public domain of the artist’s studio and the role of these studios and photographs in an I would like to thank Claire Mayoh, archivist at the Henry Moore Institute, her maternity cover Janette Martin, and Georgia Goldsmith at the Bulldog Trust for assisting me in my research and for kindly providing the images for this publication.

  • Public Art in Central Christchurch
    PUBLIC ART IN CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH A STUDY BY THE ROBERT MCDOUGALL ART GALLERY 1997 Public Art In Central Christchurch A Study by the Robert McDougall Art Gallery 1997 Compiled by Simone Stephens Preface Christchurch has an acknowledged rich heritage of public art and historically, whilst it may not be able to claim the earliest public monument in New Zealand, it does have the earliest recognised commissioned commemorative sculpture in the form of the Godley statue by Thomas Woolner. This was unveiled in August 1867. Since that date the city has acquired a wide range of public art works that now includes fountains and murals as well as statues and sculpture. In 1983 the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, with the assistance of two researchers on a project employment scheme, undertook to survey and document 103 works of art in public places throughout Christchurch. Unfortunately even though this was completed, time did not permit in-depth research, or funding enable full publication of findings. Early in 1997, Councillor Anna Crighton, requested that the 1983 survey be reviewed and amended where necessary and a publication produced as a document describing public art in the city. From June until December 1997, Simone Stephens carried out new research updating records, as many public art works had either been removed or lost in the intervening fourteen years. As many of the more significant public art works of Christchurch are sited between the four Avenues of the inner city, this has been the focus of the 1997 survey the results of which are summarised within this publication.

    TRAFALGAR 18 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION SQUARE This conservation area audit is accurate as of the time of publication, February 2003. Until this audit is next revised, amendments to the statutory list made after 19 February 2003 will not be represented on the maps at Figure 7. For up to date information about the listing status of buildings in the Trafalgar Square Conservation Area please contact the Council’s South area planning team on 020 7641 2681. This Report is based on a draft prepared by Conservation, Architecture & Planning. Development Planning Services, Department of Planning and City Development City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk Document ID No: 1130 PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There area now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents.

  • Bertram Mackennal and the Sculptural Femme Fatale in the 1890S
    Circe 1893 (detail) bronze 240 x 79.4 x 93.4 cm National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne The Felton Bequest 1910 ‘Her invitation and her contempt’: Bertram Mackennal and the sculptural femme fatale in the 1890s DAVID J GETSY In the early 1890s Bertram Mackennal still struggled to find audiences, patrons and critical recognition. After having moved between Melbourne, London and Paris, he had been unsuccessful in garnering what he considered sufficient attention, and his letters from the period are fraught with anxieties and plans for his career. In 1892 he began working on a major life-size ‘statue’ in the ‘ideal’ or ‘imaginative’ genre that would, he hoped, establish his name. ‘I am trying to make a big work of this figure and at present am full of hope,’ he remarked.1 Such a gambit was common enough for an aspiring sculptor in the competitive market of the late 19th century. British sculpture, in particular, had been reinvigorated in the 1880s by artists who staked their reputations on similar highly-conceptualised life-size statues. This movement to modernise the theory and practice of sculpture in Britain would be dubbed the ‘New Sculpture’ in 1894 – the same year Mackennal’s own contribution to it could be seen at the Royal Academy of Art’s summer exhibition.2 As Mackennal knew himself from his brief time at the Royal Academy schools and from the contacts he made there, polemical statues such as his could be the statements through which debates about the theory, practice and future of sculpture occurred.3 Even after his move to Paris, Mackennal seems to have identified with these formulations of modern sculpture in London and kept a close eye on the British capital and the better market possibilities it offered for an Australian sculptor.4 His ambitious life-size statue, although first exhibited at the 1893 Paris Salon, drew deeply on his familiarity and sympathy with the aims of the New Sculpture, and it was in London where it made its more lasting impact.

Both established professional sculptors - sometimes referred to in derisory fashion as 'gentlemen artists' - and younger, less conventionally trained artists shaped sculpture in these years. One cannot adequately understand the complex range of sculptural options in the early 20th century without taking both these 'professionals' and these young 'punks' seriously, for the members of each group constructed their identities in relation to the other. Pwfession2is Beginning in the late 1870s and early 1880s, a new set of parameters for sculptural practice and theory developed in Britain. This modernising movement, which would in 1894 become dubbed the 'New Sculpture', reconsidered the foundations of sculptural tradition and re-evaluated the roles played by sculpture in both public and private.' After gaining momentum in the 1880s, the New Sculpture style came to dominate sculpture in Britain, and by the Edwardian period many of its major players were firmly established. 1 Williams Reynolds­ Stephens, 'A Royal Game'. 1906-11 IDENTITY 1900-25 11 2 William Goscombe John, Broadly, a predominant theme in the many manifestations of the though the production of monuments went on in the 'Memorial to the Engine New Sculpture movement was its renewed concern with how viewers 20th century, there emerged far fewer opportunities Room Heroes', 1916 and publics engaged with sculptural objects.
