  • Introduction to Portraiture Through the Centuries
    • The aim of the course is look at nineteenth-century British art in new ways and so to dispel the myths. One of these myths is that France was the only country in the nineteenth century where artists innovated and another is that British art was wholly derivative from French art. These myths first arose in the early twentieth century because of the rapid changes that took place in Britain at the end of the Victorian period. The anti-Victorian rhetoric was fuelled by a small number of British commentators and art historians who valorised French art and criticized British art. I will show that Victorian art was lively, innovative and exciting and reflected the history and culture of the period. • Art reflects the social conventions and expectations of the period and in Britain’s rapidly changing industrial society there were many controversial innovations and styles. We shall see how Britain's lead in the industrial revolution and its growing population and wealth led to new markets for art. It also led both to a new confidence offset by a respect for the classical period and a nostalgia for an imagined romantic medieval period. The gradual emancipation of the poor, workers and woman was reflected in a number of art works of the period. • My background: a degree in art and architecture from Birkbeck College, followed by an MA from the Courtauld Institute where I specialised in nineteenth century art and a PhD from the University of Bristol. I have published various papers including parts of two books and I have spoken at conferences here and in the USA.

Private collection -15- ALTHOUGH AMERICANS' REGARD FOR 19TH CENTURY European art has never been higher, we remain relatively unfamiliar with the artworks produced for the academies that once dominated the scene. This is due partly to the 20th century ascent of modernist artists, who naturally dis­ couraged study of the academic system they had rejected, and partly to American museums deciding to warehouse and sell off their academic holdings after 1930. In these more even-handed times, when seemingly everything is collectible, our understanding of the 19th century art world will never be complete if we do not look carefully at the academic works prized most highly by it. Our collective awareness is growing slowly, primarily through closer study of Paris, which, as capital of the late 19th century art world, was ruled not by Manet or Monet, but by J.-L.

  • Interiors in Victorian Painting
    Women as Vestals of the Domestic Hearth: Interiors in Victorian Painting Simone Neuhauser M.A., Institute of Art History, University of Bern Ph.D. project. Supervisors: Prof. Norberto Gramaccini and Prof. Horst Bredekamp. My dissertation project, “Constructions of the Feminine Interior”, examines representations of women in interior spaces of contemporary paintings in Victorian England. The role of women in their dissociation from both men and other women are the object of my research. I proceed on the assumption that the spaces surrounding women are representations of the inner self of the figure being represented. I intend to demonstrate that representations of women in paintings contain within them a brisance similar to the portrayals of women by literary figures in novels and poetry of the same time. Therefore I will look at writers such as Emily Brontë, Henry James and Tennyson’s Moxon edition, which itself links the written and visual world. In addition works by the painters John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Elizabeth Siddal are examined. Painting and literature are thereby viewed in close connection and compared to one another using the reception theory. My dissertation will identify the various views of women with the aid of a social historical and psychoanalytical approach. Therefore studies such as those by art historians Elizabeth Prettejohn and Allan Staley will be touched upon. This theoretical view will be enhanced by studies of exhibitions, the latest being ‘The Cult of Beauty’ in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 2011. I wish to show that “space” serves as a canvas for gender roles.

  • “He Hath Mingled with the Ungodly”
    ―HE HATH MINGLED WITH THE UNGODLY‖: THE LIFE OF SIMEON SOLOMON AFTER 1873, WITH A SURVEY OF THE EXTANT WORKS CAROLYN CONROY TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PH.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART DECEMBER 2009 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and work of the marginalized British Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic homosexual Jewish painter Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after 1873.This year was fundamental in the artist‘s professional and personal life, because it is the year that he was arrested for attempted sodomy charges in London. The popular view that has been disseminated by the early historiography of Solomon, since before and after his death in 1905, has been to claim that, after this date, the artist led a life that was worthless, both personally and artistically. It has also asserted that this situation was self-inflicted, and that, despite the consistent efforts of his family and friends to return him to the conventions of Victorian middle-class life, he resisted, and that, this resistant was evidence of his ‗deviancy‘. Indeed, for over sixty years, the overall effect of this early historiography has been to defame the character of Solomon and reduce his importance within the Aesthetic movement and the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism. It has also had the effect of relegating the work that he produced after 1873 to either virtual obscurity or critical censure. In fact, it is only recently that a revival of interest in the artist has gained momentum, although the latter part of his life from 1873 has still remained under- researched and unrecorded.
