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.

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.

    Publications Catalogue 2015 –16 Vogue 100 New titles A Century of Style Robin Muir While principally a fashion magazine, Vogue has never been just that. It has assumed a central and vital role on the cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. Published to mark the magazine’s centenary, and accompanying a major exhibition, this book celebrates the twentieth century and beyond with an authoritative and discriminating eye. In more than 2,000 issues, British Vogue has acted as a cultural barometer, putting fashion in the context of the wider world – how we dress, how we entertain, what we eat, listen to, watch, who leads us, excites us and inspires us. The century’s most talented photographers, Lee Miller, Norman Parkinson, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Snowdon and Mario Testino among them, have contributed to it. In 1916, when the First World War made transatlantic shipments of American Vogue impossible, its proprietor, Condé Nast, authorised a British edition. It was an immediate success, and over the following ten decades cover Provisional of uninterrupted publication continued to mirror its times – the austerity and optimism that followed two world wars, the ‘Swinging London’ scene 310 x 254 mm, 304 pages of the sixties, the radical seventies, the image-conscious eighties – and in Over 300 illustrations its second century remains at the cutting edge of photography and design.

  • 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. Compiled by Jacob Simon, January 2019, updated February 2020, and based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon.

  • 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.

  • Three Centuries of British Art
    Three Centuries of British Art Three Centuries of British Art Friday 30th September – Saturday 22nd October 2011 Shepherd & Derom Galleries in association with Nicholas Bagshawe Fine Art, London Campbell Wilson, Aberdeenshire, Scotland Moore-Gwyn Fine Art, London EIGHTEENTH CENTURY cat. 1 Francis Wheatley, ra (1747–1801) Going Milking Oil on Canvas; 14 × 12 inches Francis Wheatley was born in Covent Garden in London in 1747. His artistic training took place first at Shipley’s drawing classes and then at the newly formed Royal Academy Schools. He was a gifted draughtsman and won a number of prizes as a young man from the Society of Artists. His early work consists mainly of portraits and conversation pieces. These recall the work of Johann Zoffany (1733–1810) and Benjamin Wilson (1721–1788), under whom he is thought to have studied. John Hamilton Mortimer (1740–1779), his friend and occasional collaborator, was also a considerable influence on him in his early years. Despite some success at the outset, Wheatley’s fortunes began to suffer due to an excessively extravagant life-style and in 1779 he travelled to Ireland, mainly to escape his creditors. There he survived by painting portraits and local scenes for patrons and by 1784 was back in England. On his return his painting changed direction and he began to produce a type of painting best described as sentimental genre, whose guiding influence was the work of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805). Wheatley’s new work in this style began to attract considerable notice and in the 1790’s he embarked upon his famous series of The Cries of London – scenes of street vendors selling their wares in the capital.
