Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Painting It would be otiose and impertinent of me to say more in this Introduction in respect of the first chapter of this book than that our readers are fortunate in having the mediaeval period of British Painting so compactly and clearly suggested by the authority of Dr. James. Would that a comparable lucidity and comprehension persisted throughout this short history But I am conscious that in its account of British Painting from Tudor times till 1900 this book will not answer many questions that might be put to it.

Download or read book British Water Colour Painting of To Day 1921 Classic Reprint written by Geoffrey Holme and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Water-Colour Painting of to-Day, 1921 The finished drawing, with its wealth of detail, has almost disappeared. It has been supplanted by the photograph, and what was achieved in days gone by with infinite toil, can now be obtained in a few minutes by a machine, albeit it lacks the essence of all creative art - individual expression. The modern tendency in water-colour painting points more and more in the direction of recording this essence in a visible form, and it is hoped that the examples in the following pages will give some idea of the various methods being adopted to achieve this end. While much of the work which is being pro duced to-day - re ecting, as it does, the general state of affairs, desperately groping after ideas but dimly conceived may, in time, develop so that it reaches a form which can be understood by the lay mind, at present it cannot be said to have advanced much beyond the experimental stage, and it has therefore been omitted from this survey. The water-colours which have been chosen for illustration are not experiments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book History of Art in the British Isles Classic Reprint written by J. Ernest Phythian and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Art in the British Isles This little book makes no pretence to add to the knowledge of the student, or to throw any new light on any single subject. It is addressed to those who, having made little or no study of art and its history, may be glad to know, not with any idea of practising art, or even of devoting much time to its study, the part it has played in the history of their country, and to form, as part of the equipment of a good citizen, some estimate of the place it ought to take in any civilisation worthy the name. The kind of information given in the book is dictated in part by the writer's experience of what University Extension and other audiences, fresh to the consideration of art, find interesting and readily assimilate. To arouse an interest in art generally, and in our own art in particular, is the aim, then, of the following pages; an those who, after reading them, may desire more detailed and extended knowledge, will find what they require in such books as those named at the end of the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Contemporary Artists T is no longer the fashion to abuse British pictures. All sorts of nice things are being said about our paintings and, if we believed all we were told, we should think that our painters had nothing to learn from anybody. British art stands second to none in the world. So said Sir Robert Witt at the open ing of a Spring exhibition in Whitechapel this year (1922) and Sir William Orpen, who him self certainly knows how to paint, has re echoed his words. No doubt it is comforting to have a good opinion of ourselves, but these pronouncements would carry more conviction did they come from the mouth of a foreigner. We are hardly able ourselves justly to appraise the worth of our contemporary artists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book British Sporting Artists from Barlow to Herring Classic Reprint written by Walter Shaw Sparrow and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Sporting Artists From Barlow to Herring It is with more than usual pleasure that I commend to the English-speaking world the very remarkable book in which these lines are granted a place of honour; for it accomplishes, far better than I ever dreamt, a vision I had long cherished, an ideal I have inevitably postponed, and it will be warmly welcomed on each side of the Atlantic. Now that Charles Furse is dead, there is hardly a first-rate artist living, except Alfred Munnings, whose appreciation of the infinite possibilities of sport in art has been translated into such paintings as may be found among the best of the old masters in this volume. The portrait of the Prince of Wales on Forest Witch rightly deserved its special place in last year's Royal Academy, because Mr. Munnings had not only achieved a first-rate work of modern art, but had recalled the best traditions of the old sporting artist. What these traditions mean Mr. Shaw Sparrow has explained in the first pages of their kind which have ever - to my knowledge - begun to do justice to their subject; and I know most of them. What a subject it is! The best of English open-air life is portrayed by men who knew it well because they shared in it. If we only considered it as a record of two and a half centuries of England, it would be invaluable. But as a collection of actual examples, reproduced, it stands 3lonc in its contribution to our knowledge of a splendid company of painters. Any previous verdicts on Tillemans or Barlow (to take only two instances) will be transfigured by Mr. Shaw Sparrow's industry and taste. I have not merely admired his selection of pictures, I have read his text, and it is with full responsibility that I can commend both to his readers. I only hope they may leave me some small share of their gratitude. There arc pictures here which have never been reproduced before, and others which - by the new colour-processes employed - will make a brighter appeal than has ever been possible in works of this kind.
