To appropriate something means to make it proper, to make it one’s own and thus to integrate it, to incorporate it, thereby giving it a new life. Because it becomes one’s property, one imparts it with one’s own being: what one knows, what one hates, what one likes, what one chooses, is. Then the appropriated is cut off from its former self and becomes other, transformed, re-created.1 Stanley Spencer constantly appropriated sacred texts (revealing the impossibility for him to cut off old links, to achieve a “rupture”) and incorporated them in his own world imposing distortions and other unusual plastic treatments to the forms, thereby shocking his contemporaries.

    Review of 'Sculpture Victorious: Art in an Age of Invention, 1837–1901' At

    Review of ‘Sculpture Victorious: Art in an Age of Invention, 1837–1901’ at the Yale Center for British Art, 11 September to 30 November 2014 Jonathan Shirland Stepping out of the elevator onto the second floor, the trio demand attention immediately, and thereby recalibrate our (stereotyped) relation- ship to Victorian sculpture at a stroke. They are impossible to ignore, or walk past. Yet they are a difficult grouping, with the darkly coloured, male, full-length statue of James Sherwood Westmacott’s Saher de Quincy, Earl of Winchester of 1848–53 in uncertain relation to the two very different yet equally captivating busts of Victoria positioned to his left (Fig. 1). Francis Leggatt Chantrey’s rendering from 1840 makes the nineteen-year-old queen sexy: the animated mouth and nostrils, bare neck and shoulders, and subtle folding of the tiara into the plaits of hair reinforcing an exem- plary demonstration of the sensuality of marble. Yet, Alfred Gilbert’s mon- umental three-foot bust made between 1887 and 1889 for the Army & Navy Club in London looms over the shoulder of Chantrey’s young queen; the multiple textures, deep undercutting, and surface detail present an ageing Victoria at her most imposing. So what is Westmacott’s piece doing here as an adjunct to this pairing of sculptural portraits? The curators were perhaps keen to show off the first of their many coups by immediately pre- senting to us a novel sculptural encounter: Westmacott’s Earl is normally removed from close scrutiny, looking down on the chamber of the House of Lords from a niche twenty-five feet above the floor, alongside statues of seventeen other barons and prelates who in 1215 helped to secure the signing of the Magna Carta.

Patrick Wright on a trip that mixed high art with low comedy and personal tragedy Patrick Wright The Guardian, Saturday 17 March 2001 He is one of the most original and accomplished painters of the 20th century, and yet he is also synonymous with a peculiarly English eccentricity. He is the artist who treated Cookham, the little Thameside village where he lived, as the measure of all experience. He is the prophet of divine sexuality who, at the second post, fell humiliated victim to a fortune-seeking lesbian. When Timothy Hyman and I set out to curate Tate Britain's new exhibition of Stanley Spencer's work, we realised that we would have to fight our way through the bizarre collection of fragmentary anecdotes that now shape his memory. Many concern Spencer's chaotic sex life, but the one that I found most enigmatic was different. It is recorded, in various memoirs, that in the autumn of 1954, this most English of painters left his home in Berkshire to visit Beijing, where he would inform Chou En-lai, the communist premier, that "I feel at home in China because I feel that Cookham is somewhere near, only just around the corner". The very idea of Spencer in China seems inherently unlikely. Indeed, it has been suggested that he was almost certainly invited by accident, after the authorities got him muddled up with the then radical poet, Stephen Spender.

ISSN 0309-2199 NOTES ON MINING LEATS R.H. Bird “.... the means of putting to work many mines that would otherwise remain unworked, or if worked, could not be worked with profitable results.” Absalom Francis. 1874. SYNOPSIS Watercourses supplying mining works have been in use for centuries but their complexity increased during the 19th century, particularly in mining districts which were remote from coal supplies used for steam engines but which had sufficient river systems (or streams) of a dependable nature. Their role in Britain’s mining areas is discussed, with examples from overseas locations. An attempt is made to outline their construction methods and costs. In an age when water power reigned supreme and, indeed, for some time thereafter, mills and manufacturing industries were dependant on a steady supply of water to drive that prime mover, the water wheel. Flour mills, fulling mills and the early ferrous metal industries were sited next to reliable river or stream courses and could thus utilise this water source with little difficulty. Sometimes, the configuration of the stream was inconveniently placed for the mill site and the miller was forced to construct a ditch, from a dam upstream of his mill, and by this, lead the water to his wheel. After driving the wheel, the water was returned to the stream directly or through another ditch, the tailrace.
