Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Clarke (1924-2014) was a pioneer in a golden age of British sculpture, whose fearless experimentation with new materials and processes saw him create works that epitomise the vibrancy of the post-war British art scene. This fully-illustrated catalogue raisonn�, the first of its kind, confirms Clarke's position among the leading lights of a generation, which included Lynn Chadwick, Reg Butler and Kenneth Armitage. There are few familiar with the full scope of Clarke's prolific output - how it transgressed from early iron pieces, indicative of the 'geometry of fear', to elegant aluminium works and later wooden abstract pieces of the 1990s. Spanning nearly five decades of making, Clarke's impressive body of sculptural work is detailed alongside other elements of his diverse oeuvre - stained glass (including pieces created for Coventry Cathedral), silver, medals and textiles also feature. With catalogue entries accompanied by an exhibition history, list of public collections as well as a comprehensive bibliography, this book will be the definitive resource for curators, collectors, dealers and enthusiasts seeking a detailed overview of Clarke's important artistic contribution.

Book excerpt: Geoffrey Clarke: a sculptor's materials' is the first monograph to address the full range of this artist's work, from stained glass to sculpture, jewellery to textiles, land art to medals. Initially trained in stained glass, Geoffrey Clarke (1924-2014) came to international recognition in 1952, as one of the young British sculptors who exhibited at the Venice Biennale. He rapidly became one of the most frequently commissioned architectural sculptors of the mid-twentieth century, developing an innovative casting technique using aluminium and establishing his own foundry at his home in Suffolk. Clarke's versatility secured him commissions from banks, offices, universities and cathedrals (most notably, Coventry), which he approached with characteristic verve. Many of these works, sadly neglected, are now finding new audiences: Spirit of Electricity (1958-61) and Spiral Nebula (1962) were both listed Grade II by Historic England in 2016.

Book excerpt: Internationally renowned sculptor Geoffrey Dashwood?s bronze birds are notable for the use of coloured patinas and the elimination of surface detail to emphasise form and movement, thus capturing the innate character of individual species. Born in Hampshire, Dashwood left school at 15 and rejected art college to spend several years as a Forestry Commission keeper. He developed an extensive knowledge of the New Forest?s unique habitats and wildlife and has a particular passion for birds exemplified in this book and the accompanying exhibition at St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery. This collection focuses on birds that might be found in the New Forest in the past, present and future: the black grouse, once common, now locally extinct; species closely associated with the Forest today such as the hobby, nightjar and hen harrier; and those which may yet become established such as the hoopoe, osprey and red kite.00Exhibition: St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery, Lymington, UK (29.07.-23.09.2017).

Download or read book Designing Liners written by Anne Massey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing Liners: A History of Interior Design Afloat covers the interior design of these floating palaces from the mid-nineteenth century to the twenty-first century. In this new edition, the design heritage of the ocean liner is also explored in this age of a growing holiday cruise market. The book offers the first history and analysis of this highly significant aspect of the design of interiors, which mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about national identity, gender, class, and ethnicity. The interiors of ocean liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and shifting patterns of globalization. The trajectory of the professionalization of interior design is the connecting narrative of the book, from the local decorating firm to the internationally renowned architect. It is an important addition to interior design research and takes this transitory building type as its subject. This book provides the first survey of the transient history of interior design in relation to the development of passenger shipping. The history of these great ship interiors is tracked, from their commissioning by the line owners; the materials, methods, and sources for the initial creation; their construction; their use; and their reception. The demise and re-purposing of the interiors is also covered in this new edition, with additional material on the South African Union Castle and P & O Lines. Drawing on a broad range of original research, Anne Massey’s approach combines interior design studies, design history, architectural history, and maritime studies. The new edition has been carefully designed to include black and white and colour illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every material has an active presence and every material is susceptible to change. The task of the sculptor is to understand the natural properties of a chosen material, to know in the process of creation how best to work with, or against, its characteristics. In this generously illustrated studio manual, sculptor Oliver Andrews takes a new approach to sculpture, focusing on how the innate assertiveness of materials affects the complex act of making a sculpture.

Book excerpt: A Sculptor's Manual focuses on the methods involved in sculpture. The manual first outlines drawing as a medium by which artistic creativity can evolve. The text notes that mastery of this talent can enable artists to become more analytical in their appreciation of their fellow beings, as well as bring out the inventive faculties in them in many ways. The book also discusses direct carving and the use of cartoons and automatic tools in carving. The work done by the author at the Henry Florence Memorial Hall is noted. The varieties of stones that can be used as medium in carving are explained. The text also looks at the methods in moving heavy weights, traditional carving of relief, and wood carving. Modeling as a way to create fine pieces of sculpture is underscored. The book also discusses the methods involved in building a large bronze memorial and an enormous aluminum stag. Alternative methods of casting a large memorial are also elaborated. The text also puts emphasis on fiberglass sculpture, including materials and methods to be employed. The manual is a good reference for beginner and master sculptors.
