VN Volume 9 (Entire Issue)
Kate Flint 1 How Do We See? Kate Flint, Provost Professor of Art History and English (University of Southern California, USA) How do we see? And how do we learn to see? These two questions, despite being highly similar, are far from identical. An increasing number of mid-Victorian commentators, who considered the act of looKing from the entwined perspectives of science and culture, investigated them. They explored and explained connections between the physiology and psychology of vision; the relationship between looking, attention, and ocular selection; and the variations in modes of seeing that come about through occupation, environment, and the spaces of sight. These, too, are the issues at the heart of the stimulating essays in this issue of Victorian Network. In 1871, the journalist Richard Hengist Horne brought out a strangely hybrid volume: The Poor Artist; or, Seven Eye-Sights and One Object. The narrative of a struggling painter, first published in 1850, was now prefaced by a ‘Preliminary Essay. On Varieties of Vision in Man.’ Horne acknowledges that the passages strung together into the essay ‘have been jotted down at various intervals, and in various parts of the globe’.1 Indeed, they constitute a collection of musings on the subject rather than a sustained argument, as though Horne’s own attention was incapable of resting steadily on a designated object. But he also recognizes that the variety of examples and exceptions he discusses precludes arriving at any firm generaliZations concerning the act of visualiZation – apart from the fact that we may extend the principle of variety in vision to the other senses. -

Paris, 1918-45
un :al Chapter II a nd or Paris , 1918-45 ,-e ed MARK D EVOTO l.S. as es. 21 March 1918 was the first day of spring. T o celebrate it, the German he army, hoping to break a stalemate that had lasted more than three tat years, attacked along the western front in Flanders, pushing back the nv allied armies within a few days to a point where Paris was within reach an oflong-range cannon. When Claude Debussy, who died on 25 M arch, was buried three days later in the Pere-Laehaise Cemetery in Paris, nobody lingered for eulogies. The critic Louis Laloy wrote some years later: B. Th<' sky was overcast. There was a rumbling in the distance. \Vas it a storm, the explosion of a shell, or the guns atrhe front? Along the wide avenues the only traffic consisted of militarr trucks; people on the pavements pressed ahead hurriedly ... The shopkeepers questioned each other at their doors and glanced at the streamers on the wreaths. 'II parait que c'ctait un musicicn,' they said. 1 Fortified by the surrender of the Russians on the eastern front, the spring offensive of 1918 in France was the last and most desperate gamble of the German empire-and it almost succeeded. But its failure was decisive by late summer, and the greatest war in history was over by November, leaving in its wake a continent transformed by social lb\ convulsion, economic ruin and a devastation of human spirit. The four-year struggle had exhausted not only armies but whole civiliza tions. -

The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain
Crossing the Channel: The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain By Catherine Cheney Senior Honors Thesis Department of Art History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 8, 2016 Approved: 1 Introduction: French Impressionism in England As Impressionism spread throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century, the movement took hold in the British art community and helped to change the fundamental ways in which people viewed and collected art. Impressionism made its debut in London in 1870 when Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Durand-Ruel sought safe haven in London during the Franco- Prussian war. The two artists created works of London landscapes done in the new Impressionist style. Paul Durand-Ruel, a commercial dealer, marketed the Impressionist works of these two artists and of the other Impressionist artists that he brought over from Paris. The movement was officially organized for the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 in Paris, but the initial introduction in London laid the groundwork for promoting this new style throughout the international art world. This thesis will explore, first, the cultural transformations of London that allowed for the introduction of Impressionism as a new style in England; second, the now- famous Thames series that Monet created in the 1890s and notable exhibitions held in London during the time; and finally, the impact Impressionism had on private collectors and adding Impressionist works to the national collections. With the exception of Edouard Manet, who met with success at the Salon in Paris over the years and did not exhibit with the Impressionists, the modern artists were not received well. -

Nordfronten Blev Nedlagt I 1920
N ordfronten I Ge ntofte Kommune Indledning Københavns Befæstning bestod, i sidste halvdel af 1800-tallet, af Vestvolden, som ligger langs motorringvejen fra Avedøre til Utterslev Mose, og Nord- fronten, som bestod af en fort- og en batterilinie fra Gladsaxe til Dyrehaven. Hertil kom store søbefæstninger, hvoraf Hvidøre Batteri og Charlottenlund Fort er omtalt i denne folder. Fæstningsværket, som var et af verdens længst sammenhængende, var 25-30 km langt. På dele af strækningen kan man stadig se dette imponerende fæstningsværk. Fæstningen blev bygget fra 1886-1894. Befæstningen blev sat i gang af rege- ringen Estrup som et defensivt forsvarsværk, der skulle forsinke en stormagt i en evt. erobring af København. Den blev bemandet under 1. Verdenskrig og udvidedes med skyttegrave og betonbunkers. Vest- og Nordfronten blev nedlagt i 1920. Søbefæstningen blev nedlagt gradvist i løbet af det 20. århundrede. Vestvolden er fra Utterslev Mose til Køge Bugt bevaret som et vigtigt rekreativt område. Denne folder beskriver kort resterne af fæstningsanlæggene i Gentofte Kommune. Nogle ligger på privat grund og er ikke tilgængelige.

Anlægget bestod af 2 batterilinier, adskilt af en kasematbygning, der indeholdt ammunitionsmagasiner samt indkvarteringsrum. Vangede Batteri blev købt af Gentofte Kommune. -
