Approval to Grant a Licence to the De Morgan Foundation at Cannon Hall Museum PDF

OFFICER DECISION RECORD ODD/181/2020 Record of a decision of the Service Director Culture Housing and Regulation, taken in consultation with Matthew Gladstone, Executive Directive Place. Granting of a licence to the De Morgan Foundation at Cannon Hall Museum Subject In early 2016 new galleries (A Family of Artists) opened at Cannon Hall in partnership with the De Morgan Foundation. The De Morgan Foundation owns an unparalleled collection of work by the late 19th and early 20th century ceramicist William De Morgan and his artist wife Evelyn Pickering De Morgan. It complimented existing exhibitions at the Watts Gallery in Surrey, and Wightwick Manor operated by the National Trust in Wolverhampton. The collection has been a perfect addition to the hall and is the only place in the North of England where De Morgan pieces can be viewed in all their glory on a lasting basis. Cannon Hall became a key member of the network of De Morgan Collection exhibitions and loans in the UK and around the world. William De Morgan was the foremost ceramic artist of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Evelyn Pickering De Morgan came from a prosperous upper-middle class professional family; her mother, Anna Maria, was the daughter of John and Lady Elizabeth Spencer-Stanhope of Cannon Hall. Her uncle was the famous Pre-Raphaelite artist John Roddam Spencer-Stanhope. To date, Barnsley Museums and the De Morgan Foundation have worked in an informal partnership, with the works of art on loan to Barnsley Council. The success of the galleries in attracting new visitors to the Hall, and working together on various projects, has led to the proposal that the De Morgan Foundation creates its main base at Cannon Hall. Creating this permanent home will also enable the De Morgan Foundation to apply for Museum Accreditation, administered by Arts Council England, a huge step forward for the Foundation’s long term sustainability. This is a very important and high profile partnership for Barnsley, supporting our work with communities and significantly boosting our visitor economy. The licence has been drafted by the Council’s Asset Management team and relates to the top floor galleries currently occupied by the De Morgan exhibition and the use of an office at the Hall. The licence is offered on a peppercorn basis but the De Morgan Foundation will cover legal and surveying costs. A formal partnership agreement is under development with legal colleagues.

It sheds light on the role of twelve female models, muses, wives, poets, and artists active within the Pre- Raphaelite circle, which is revealed as much less of an exclusive “boys’ club.” The aim of the exhibition was to “redress the balance in showing just how engaged and central women were to the endeavor, as the subjects of the images themselves, but also in their production,” as stated on the back cover of the catalogue accompanying the exhibition. Although there have been previous exhibitions on the female artists associated with the movement, such as in Pre-Raphaelite Women Artists (Manchester City Art Galleries, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Southampton City Art Gallery, 1997–98), the broader scope of this exhibition counts models and relatives among the significant players within art production and distribution.

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.

The Looking-Glass World: Mirrors in Pre-Raphaelite Painting 1850-1915
THE LOOKING-GLASS WORLD Mirrors in Pre-Raphaelite Painting, 1850-1915 TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I Claire Elizabeth Yearwood Ph.D. University of York History of Art October 2014 Abstract This dissertation examines the role of mirrors in Pre-Raphaelite painting as a significant motif that ultimately contributes to the on-going discussion surrounding the problematic PRB label. With varying stylistic objectives that often appear contradictory, as well as the disbandment of the original Brotherhood a few short years after it formed, defining ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ as a style remains an intriguing puzzle. In spite of recurring frequently in the works of the Pre-Raphaelites, particularly in those by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt, the mirror has not been thoroughly investigated before. Instead, the use of the mirror is typically mentioned briefly within the larger structure of analysis and most often referred to as a quotation of Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait (1434) or as a symbol of vanity without giving further thought to the connotations of the mirror as a distinguishing mark of the movement. I argue for an analysis of the mirror both within the context of iconographic exchange between the original leaders and their later associates and followers, and also that of nineteenth- century glass production. The Pre-Raphaelite use of the mirror establishes a complex iconography that effectively remytholgises an industrial object, conflates contradictory elements of past and present, spiritual and physical, and contributes to a specific artistic dialogue between the disparate strands of the movement that anchors the problematic PRB label within a context of iconographic exchange.

Social History Following Hot on the Heels of the Aesthetic Movement
THE BRITISH arts & Craft Movement Social history Following hot on the heels of the Aesthetic Movement, Arts & Crafts Style was a socially progressive art and design movement spearheaded by William Morris, which went on to gather strength in the Arts and Crafts workshops of the Cotswolds and the industrial garden cities of Port Sunlight & Bournville in the early 20th century. Where Aestheticsim was ‘art for arts sake’, the Arts & Crafts Movement was founded on socialist principles. Its pioneers championed the revival of traditional craftsmanship and good quality materials. Arts & Crafts designers believe that individually crafted wares were integral to good interior design and should be both useful as well as pleasing to the eye. An attempt to reform design and decoration as a stand against the ‘sham’ furnishings displayed at the Great Exhibition, Morris and his partners used natural materials, good craftsmanship, simple forms and organic shapes to create their pared back, honest look. A short-lived movement, Arts & Craft style clearly differentiated itself from the historical reproductions of the early Victorian era, with its botanical influences underpinning the sinuous lines of Art Nouveau. Key Dates 1861 Morris, Marshall & Faulkner established (later Morris & Co) 1875 Morris & Co relocates to London 1881 Morris & Co moves to Merton Abbey and the designs take on a more exotic taste 1883 Arthur Lazenby opens Liberty, the retail emporium 1887 Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society founded by Walter Crane 1888 Ashbee forms the Guild of Handicraft in East London 1893 Building starts Bournville, industrial garden city for Cadbury 1896 Wiiliam Morris dies 1899 Building starts at Port Sunlight, Merseyside, industrial garden city for Lever Brothers 1902 The Guild of Handicraft moves to the Cotswolds 1903 First Flight by the Wright Brothers 1914 World War I arts & Craft Movement 1860-1910 Architecture Arts & Craft architecture was a style that rebelled against industrialization and urged for a return to craftsmanship.
