  • Asian Textiles and the Grammar of Ornament: Design in the Victorian Age, November 16, 2007-August 3, 2008
    Asian Textiles and the Grammar of Ornament: Design in the Victorian Age, November 16, 2007-August 3, 2008 This exhibition mines the Museum’s permanent collection of Asian textiles from the perspective of the 19th-century British designer and educator, Owen Jones (1809–74), author of The Grammar of Ornament (London: 1856). On view are textiles whose patterns are paired with corresponding plates from his publication. His assessment of decorative “language” was compiled as a pattern book for all of the applied arts from architecture to textiles. His sources are the ornamental traditions from cultures across the globe, including India, Persia, Egypt, and China. Critical to his undertaking was London’s Great Exposition of 1851, the setting in which the technology and manufacturing processes of the Industrial Revolution were displayed for all to see. The huge state-of-the-art glass-and- iron Crystal Palace constructed in Hyde Park for the event was the architectural stage upon which nations from around the world—but most importantly, England—displayed their accomplishments. Among the great number of Western visitors to the show, a vast majority were viewing the applied arts of other cultures for the very first time. The single most powerful influence on the applied arts during the 19th century was the reexamining of design education and practice. Reform therein was motivated by what some saw as the negative side of the Industrial Revolution. In challenge to the popular notion that new, fast, and cheap were the progressive ideals of a modern society, Jones and others started to rethink the effect this was having on design.

  • Artisan Voice
    Artisan Voice: an investigation of the collaborations between skilled, traditional textile artisans in India and foreign textile and fashion designers from the artisans’ perspective and their viewpoints of their craft industry in contemporary times. Deborah Emmett Master of Design (Hons) UNSW Art & Design March 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Liz Williamson for her guidance and wisdom over the past four years. Her knowledge of Indian textiles and shared interest in travelling throughout India has been both insightful and supportive in assisting me to develop my research. I wish to thank the University of New South Wales particularly UNSW Art & Design for granting travel funds that enabled me to attend international conferences related to my area of research. The assistance and advice of Wendy Parker and Joanna Elliot about postgraduate administrative procedures at UNSW has been appreciated. In addition I would like to thank Penelope Ralph for her invaluable skills in editing my thesis. This research study would not have been possible without the cooperation and candidness of the traditional textile artisans from Kashmir and Rajasthan in India who were willing to participate in the research interviews. I am indebted to them for sharing their thoughts and welcoming me into their homes and businesses. Finally I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to my husband, Riyaz Hakim. His comments, perceptions and patience have assisted me in navigating my way through these years of research. As my translator and tireless supporter he should share the credit of my work. Deborah Emmett Artisan Voice | Master of Design (Hons) 2015 i ABSTRACT This thesis and collaborative project is a result of my fourteen-year engagement of working with textile artisans in India.

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v7n1p3 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v7n1p3 Illumination of the AdiGranth: A Stylistic & Aesthetic Analysis Dr. Manavpreet Kaur Arora1 Abstract AdiGranth can be defined as a manuscript that comprises of the primal text of the sacred Guru Granth Sahib. Numerous illuminated copies of the divine text came into existence with the growing popularity of Sikh faith and patronage. This research is intended towards identifying popular design motifs that have defined the style of Sikh visual vocabulary and establish their textual context with reference to the AdiGranth. Visual analyses of some of the illuminated folios reveal that the design disposition and inspiration correlates with the compositions of the holy text. The article includes necessary transliterations and translations where required. The scope of this study is to provide the printed versions with the design vocabulary that are distinctly Sikh. Keywords: AdiGranth, Design motifs, Design inspiration, Design disposition, Sikh aesthetics Introduction The foundation of the sacred book of the Sikhs, AdiGranthis composed of consummate words uttered by the Sikh Gurus as well as Hindu and Muslim saint poets. Patronage for AdiGranth existed on a royal as well as sub royal level for handwritten sacred copies of the text, which would simultaneously be illustrated and illuminated by artists who were no different from the scribes. A few extant copies in various collections give an insight into the lost exuberance of the Sikh courts.

Great achievements in artistic metalworking in Azerbaijan were gained in the 11th-12th centuries in the Seljuk era.

    A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF GREEK COINS SELECTED FROM THE CABINET OF CLARENCE S. BEMENT, Esq. PHILADELPHIA THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY BROADWAY AT I56ih STREET NEW YORK . 1921 ^56 533^ 1S2 PURCHASE ST. FOREWORD Soon after the manuscript, of this catalogue had reached the printer's hands Mr. Clarence S. Bement, the owner of the coins here described, became very ill and now for many months has l»een unable to carry further whatever plans he may have had for the development of his already splendid collection of antique coins. This interruption is most unfortvmate, considering his achievements in other fields, for Mr. Bement has long been prominent in a small group of Americans who find relaxation from their occupations in the pursuit of some branch of art or science and devote no inconsiderable amouiat of time, money, and industry to the collection of material illustrative of the subjects that claim their interest. Their enthusiasm and their collections have done much to develop our libraries, museums, art galleries, and other agents of public education. Mr. Bement's interest in books and prints resulted in the forma- tion of one of the noted private libraries of the country. This library was disposed of several years ago, some of, the fine volumes passing through the hands of the late Mr. Harry Widener to Harvard Universi- ty, while many rare prints went into the possession of a distinguished Philadelphia jurist. It was to minerals that Mr. Bement devoted the most of his leisure and the greatest care. His collection, purchased by the late Mr.
