  • Nathaniel Hitch and the Making of Church Sculpture Claire Jones
    Nathaniel Hitch and the Making of Church Sculpture Claire Jones Housed at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds is the archive of the now little-known sculptor, architectural sculptor, and sculptor’s modeller, Nathaniel Hitch (1845–1938).1 Unlike the extensive manuscript, printed, and visual material in Hamo Thornycroft’s archive, also held at the Henry Moore Institute, Hitch’s consists of hundreds of photographs pasted into two albums. These demonstrate the range of sculptural activity undertaken by Hitch, including figurative work, architectural sculpture, and anima- lier sculpture. Above all, they represent sculpture intended for Christian places of worship: recumbent effigies; altars; free-standing figures of saints, bishops, and biblical figures; reliefs of biblical scenes; Christ on the cross; Christ in groups; the Virgin Mary and Child; and sculpture for church fur- niture and furnishings. Hitch’s archive therefore offers significant docu- mentation for the study of Victorian sculpture practice outside the more familiar areas of the Academy and ideal classical sculpture: namely, church sculpture. The photographs are taken within Hitch’s studio or workshop. The space itself is only fragmentarily visible, and the sculptor himself is noticea- bly absent from all the photographs. This is distinct to the ‘at home’ and ‘in studio’ photographs of society sculptors such as Thornycroft, which recent scholarship has usefully examined in terms of the private-public domain of the artist’s studio and the role of these studios and photographs in an I would like to thank Claire Mayoh, archivist at the Henry Moore Institute, her maternity cover Janette Martin, and Georgia Goldsmith at the Bulldog Trust for assisting me in my research and for kindly providing the images for this publication.

They were important for those who went to the trouble of commissioning and creating them, and they were important for the relatives and friends of those whose names were commemorated upon them. Each individual memorial has its own messages – even the plainest and simplest memorial will have some feature that is worthy of further consideration.

  • Visual Discourses of Commemorative War Monuments
    Visual and Written Discourses of British Commemorative War Monuments N. Gillian Abousnnouga Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Cardiff University This thesis is submitted to Cardiff University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2012 Abstract This thesis analyses commemorative war monuments using a social semiotic approach to understand how they communicate as three-dimensional objects, considering their design alongside contextual information. Taking a social semiotic approach to the study of commemorative war monuments, it responds to calls by historians for innovative ways to study war commemoration by providing an approach that offers both specific analysis of the objects and attends to matters of design. This thesis also provides a contribution to the work in Critical Discourse Analysis on discourses of war through its analysis of the way that certain dominant discourses of war are realised, maintained and legitimised; not just through political speeches and news texts, but visually and materially through these objects that appear in cities, towns and villages across Britain. Following in the relatively recent tradition of multimodal analysis, the thesis draws on the ideas of Kress & van Leeuwen, adapting and extending their theories to the analysis of typical examples of post-First World War British commemorative war monuments. The analysis reveals that sign makers rejected modern forms, relying on classical styles of representation to realise meanings which serve to recontextualize the brutality of war. These monuments contain powerful discourses of denial that work to promote the sacrifice of life by creating a strong, ethnically homogenous and consentient national group that acts uniformly to carry out the will of the nation-state.

  • Criteria and Process for Awarding the Freedom of the City of Cardiff
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD COUNCIL: 18 DECEMBER 2008 AGENDA ITEM: REPORT OF THE CLERK TO THE COUNCIL CRITERIA AND PROCESS FOR AWARDING THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF CARDIFF Reason for this Report 1. To allow the consideration of potential criteria, and process, for future nominations and applications for the Freedom of the City of Cardiff. Background 2. Historically, the Freedom of the City has been an award made by towns and cities to esteemed members of its community. However, in contemporary society, the award of Freedom of the City tends to be entirely ceremonial, given by local government to those who have served in some exceptional capacity, or upon those whom the City wishes to bestow an honour. The conferring of the honour of Freedom of the City is a means of acknowledging the contribution made by an individual, association or organisation to the life of the City of Cardiff. 3. The City of Cardiff has bestowed the Honorary Freedom of the City to 60 individuals and 9 organisations since its inception in 1886 (see Appendix A). Issues 4. Historically, there has been no set formal criterion for the nomination of a person or organisation for such an honour. It is now recognised that modern local government needs to build in formal criteria to support decision making, scrutiny and transparency. It is proposed that future successful nominations should meet at least one of the following criteria: a. An individual or organisation of outstanding and acknowledged merit, with close links to the City and County of Cardiff; b. An individual or organisation who has made an outstanding and acknowledged contribution to the development of Cardiff, the Capital City for Wales; c.

Both established professional sculptors - sometimes referred to in derisory fashion as 'gentlemen artists' - and younger, less conventionally trained artists shaped sculpture in these years. One cannot adequately understand the complex range of sculptural options in the early 20th century without taking both these 'professionals' and these young 'punks' seriously, for the members of each group constructed their identities in relation to the other. Pwfession2is Beginning in the late 1870s and early 1880s, a new set of parameters for sculptural practice and theory developed in Britain. This modernising movement, which would in 1894 become dubbed the 'New Sculpture', reconsidered the foundations of sculptural tradition and re-evaluated the roles played by sculpture in both public and private.' After gaining momentum in the 1880s, the New Sculpture style came to dominate sculpture in Britain, and by the Edwardian period many of its major players were firmly established. 1 Williams Reynolds­ Stephens, 'A Royal Game'. 1906-11 IDENTITY 1900-25 11 2 William Goscombe John, Broadly, a predominant theme in the many manifestations of the though the production of monuments went on in the 'Memorial to the Engine New Sculpture movement was its renewed concern with how viewers 20th century, there emerged far fewer opportunities Room Heroes', 1916 and publics engaged with sculptural objects.
