    Critical Beauty: The Decorative, the Grotesque and the Explicit in the work of Aubrey Beardsley and Kara Walker Natalya Hughes School of Art Theory/ Art History College of Fine Arts University of New South Wales STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORISHIP ‘I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project's design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged.’ Signed …………………………………………….............. Date …………………………………………….............. ii ABSTRACT This research project centres on a representative mode in the visual arts marked by seemingly contradictory operations. Made through a particular use of decorative form, this mode combines the operations of aesthetic pleasure and a more challenging or destabilising affect. It co-implicates formal beauty and a critical content usually associated with so-called anti-aesthetic art practices. The written component analyses the occurrence of this contradictory logic of representation in the work of late Victorian artist Aubrey Beardsley, and contemporary African American artist Kara Walker. Here I argue that while existing criticism on Beardsley and Walker points to the co-existence of these seemingly contradictory operations, it consistently privileges one term (i.e.

  • Dictionary of Moisture Protection and Restoration by John F
    Dictionary of Moisture Protection and Restoration by John F. Maillard CSI-CDT 2008 Edition Edited by Taryn Williams S.E. The first time I met John Maillard, he showed me a small black book, which he took from his breast pocket. The book was filled with hand-drawn illustrations of architectural details, each one a work of art. To John, they were not so much art; rather, they served a more practical purpose. The illustrations were the method he used to educate others about elements of architecture, as well as proper construction details. John is passionate about the preservation of our structures, our heritage. He is also passionate about waterproofing; because, as he says, all problems in structures begin with water. This book, John’s book, is a gem. It is a work of unique passion. I am proud that he has selected Conproco Corp. to publish his life’s collection of knowledge and experience. John, Taryn and I hope you enjoy this contribution to our industry. Christopher Brown President Conproco Corp. PREFACE Why do we use Division 07 00 00 Thermal and Moisture Protection (Waterproofing) and Preservation / Restoration in the same sentence? Because Waterproofing is an integral part of Preservation / Restoration. The only way we can preserve or restore a structure is to stop or prevent further water intrusion. We are well aware that water has destroyed or damaged more structures than wars and natural disasters have. We appear to ignore this fact when we attempt to preserve or restore our historic structures today. Our landmark architects, engineers and conservators face an enormous challenge.

  • Middle Byzantine Pottery in Athens
    MIDDLE BYZANTINE POTTERY IN ATHENS The desolation of mediaeval Athens and the deplorable state of industry so lamented by the cosmopolitan Michael Akomiinatos' are well reflected in its pottery. Contemporary wares from Corinth anid Thebes, of aii eleoance rarelv afforded by mediaeval Atlhenians, attest the fact that even in the humbler arts these cities had triumphed over their former rival. But although the Byzantine pottery of the Ao,ora is, in general, frag- mentary and poor, the circumstances of finding have sometimes prov-ided valuable chronological evidence, while an occasional fine piece rejoices the excavator and relieves the dark picture of Bvzantine Athens.2 The chronological evidence is provided by the finding of closed deposits or of refuse dumps of pottery, the contents of cisterns, pits or pithoi, filled up either all at one timne, or (as evidence of stratification shows) by dcegrees over a period of years. Each such dump may be considered as a unit, or, rather, as a group, the elements of which may be expected to show some logical relation to each other. Five such groups, rangino in date fromnthe tenth or early eleventh century to the thirteenth, have been selected for discussion here. Except in one case (Group B) the dating is based on coins found with the pottery. These groups represent almost all the types of Byzantine pottery found in the Agora, and the conclusions are consistent with those offered, with less decisive evidence, by other Agora material. The present discussion does not pretend to offer a complete chronology of Byzantine pottery but may perhaps establish a few convenient landmarks for future studv.

  • An English Pottery Heritage (PDF)
    The Troy Dawson Chappell Collection of Earthenware & Stoneware 1630 – 1800 AN ENGLISH POTTERY HERITAGE A Survey of Earthenware and Stoneware 1630 – 1800 his author has comparatively represented herein, T through catalog format, his personal assemblage of ceramic objects. The collection records progress to compactly review English earthenware and stone- ware as broadly manufactured during the span 1630 to 1800. Pottery examples demonstrate most of the prevailing production materials and the related for- mation techniques; also included are manners to de- velop the colored and shaped decorations as well as notices of predominant styles then embraced among the English perceptions and trade. This layout estab- lishes a valued domain for considering the pressures of custom, imitation, and inventive processes across a revolutionary industry, which by evolution stood as one mainstay of British wealth for centuries. The first component of the Collection, earth- enware, is formed from low-fired clays and additives that are effectively encased in a lead-glaze to reduce porosity. Second, the higher-fired stoneware depends on incipient fused-clay masses or degrees of surface vitrification to generate comparable imperviousness to liquids. Within these two groups there are several designated English pottery categories that encompass slipware, tin-glazed earthenware (delftware), agate- ware, redware, salt-glazed stoneware, and the assorted cream-colored, including emerging whiter, wares. Distinctions are shown in procedures for clay contouring such as by wheel throwing, press molding, slip casting, lathe turning, and hand modeling. At- tention is directed to approaches for relief ornamen- tation, coloration, and pattern as potters and decorators heeded challenging technological environments and changing fashions.
