Download or read book Stitching the Self written by Johanna Amos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The needle arts are traditionally associated with the decorative, domestic, and feminine. Stitching the Self sets out to expand this narrow view, demonstrating how needlework has emerged as an art form through which both objects and identities – social, political, and often non-conformist – are crafted. Bringing together the work of ten art and craft historians, this illustrated collection focuses on the interplay between craft and artistry, amateurism and professionalism, and re-evaluates ideas of gendered production between 1850 and the present. From quilting in settler Canada to the embroidery of suffragist banners and the needlework of the Bloomsbury Group, it reveals how needlework is a transformative process – one which is used to express political ideas, forge professional relationships, and document shifting identities. With a range of methodological approaches, including object-based, feminist, and historical analyses, Stitching the Self examines individual and communal involvement in a range of textile practices. Exploring how stitching shapes both self and world, the book recognizes the needle as a powerful tool in the fight for self-expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a century after the death of Queen Victoria, historians are busy re-appraising her age and achievements. However, our understanding of the Victorian era is itself a part of history, shaped by changing political, cultural and intellectual fashions. Bringing together a group of international scholars from the disciplines of history, English literature, art history and cultural studies, this book identifies and assesses the principal influences on twentieth-century attitudes towards the Victorians. Developments in academia, popular culture, public history and the internet are covered in this important and stimulating collection, and the final chapters anticipate future global trends in interpretations of the Victorian era, making an essential volume for students of Victorian Studies.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Special Loan Exhibition of Decorative Art Needlework Made Before 1800 Canon Rock, after quoting passages from the works of Pliny to show that the Phrygians were renowned for their skill in the art of embroidery, says that In Latin, while an embroiderer was called a Phrygian, Plzrygio, needlework was denominated P/zrygium or Phrygian stuff; hence when, as often happened, the design was wrought in solid gold wire or golden thread, the embroidery so worked got named A From this term comes our own' English word Orphrey.' Though deformed after so many guises, by the witless writers of many an inventory of church goods, or by the sorry cleric who, in a moment of needful haste, had been called upon to draw up a will other men, however small their learning, always spelled the word orp/zrey in English and aurzp/zryg ium in Latin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive bibliography and exhibition chronology of the world's greatest museum of the decorative arts and design. The Victoria and Albert Museum, or South Kensington Museum as it used to be known, was founded by the British Government in 1852, out of the proceeds from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Like the Exhibition, it aimed to improve the expertise of designers, and the taste of the public, by exposing them to examples of good design from all countries and periods. 2,500 publications have to date been produced by, for, or in association with the V&A. The National Art Library, which is part of the Museum, has prepared this detailed catalogue, supplemented by a secondary list of 500 other books closely related to the V&A. The 1,500 exhibitions and displays recorded include those held in the main Museum and at its branches, the Bethnal Green Museum (now the National Museum of Childhood) and the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden, and additionally those it has organized at external venues, in Great Britain and abroad. The exhibitions and publications are fully cross-referenced, and there are name, title and subject indexes to the whole work, as well as an explanatory introduction.
