    PRESS Press Contact Rachel Eggers Manager of Public Relations [email protected] RELEASE 206.654.3151 APRIL 16, 2019 VICTORIAN RADICALS: FROM THE PRE-RAPHAELITES TO THE ARTS & CRAFTS MOVEMENT OPENS AT SEATTLE ART MUSEUM JUNE 13, 2019 Wide-ranging exhibition reveals how three generations of artists revolutionized the visual and decorative arts in Britain SEATTLE, WA – The Seattle Art Museum presents Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts & Crafts Movement (June 13–September 8, 2019), exploring how three generations of rebellious British artists, designers, and makers responded to a time of great social upheaval and an increasingly industrial world. Organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Birmingham Museums Trust, the exhibition features 150 works from the collection of the city of Birmingham—many of which have never been shown outside of the United Kingdom—including paintings, drawings, books, sculptures, textiles, stained glass, and other decorative arts. They reveal a passionate artistic and social vision that revolutionized the visual arts in Britain. Victorian Radicals features work by notable Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts artists including Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, William Morris, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Playing out against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, these influential movements were concerned with the relationship between art and nature, questions of class and gender, the value of the handmade versus machine production, and the search for beauty in an age of industry—all relevant issues in our current era of anxiety amid rapidly evolving technologies. “This exhibition is perfect for Seattle right now,” says Chiyo Ishikawa, SAM’s Susan Brotman Deputy Director for Art and Curator of European Painting and Sculpture.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 2: LOCATIONS F-Y) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 GAZETTEER FIRS ESTATE – see CASTLE BROMWICH, St.Wilfrid (R.C.), Firs Estate FOUR OAKS – All Saints, Walsall Road All Saints was built in 1908 to the designs of Edwin F. Reynolds, architect. Messrs. J. Barnsley and Sons were the builders. The foundation stone of the nave was laid on 4 April 1908 and the nave and temporary sanctuary were consecrated on 31 October 1908. Built in the Perpendicular style in brick, the church was intended to have a chancel, organ chamber, vestry and tower over the south porch of similar design. These were never built, but the chancel was rebuilt in a more substantial manner in the early 1960s and consecrated on 21 November 1965. The parish of Four Oaks was created from the parish of Hill in 1920. The portion of the church completed in 1908 had a stone bellcote over the chancel arch. The original bell – shown in a photograph of the church taken in 1943 – was about 20 inches in diameter and it was hung for swing chiming with a wooden stock. Having become unsafe, it was taken down in about 1965 when the chancel was added, but “went missing” shortly afterwards. There is now a loudspeaker in the bellcote. In 2000, however, a small sanctus bell was erected on outside wall on the south side of the sanctuary to mark the Millennium. It is a small bell with a diameter of 9 inches, inscribed “The Millennium Bell”.
