Download or read book John Haley Bellamy Carver of Eagles written by Yvonne Brault Smith and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Haley Bellamy (1836-1914) has become one of America's best known woodcarvers. His so-called Bellamy hanging wall eagle is frequently copied by contemporary carvers and his individual pieces are actively collected. His most famous work is pictured above, the Lancaster eagle figurehead, on permanent display at the Mariner's Museum, Newport News, Virginia. Weighing 3,200 pounds with a eighteen-foot wingspan, it is a marvel of artistic and engineering ingenuity.A native of Kittery Point, Maine, Bellamy never considered himself an artist and signed few of his pieces but his carvings are so distinctive that experts can easily identify them. Bellamy's eagles show a simplicity of design, form, and shape, yet he gave his birds a swing, a feeling of action and movement. He also produced other animals, furniture, and decorative cases for ships as well as Masonic frames and clock cases.Despite his great talent, Bellamy led a troubled, restless life, often moving from job to job, sometimes working for as little as $2.50 per day at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where he carved the Lancaster eagle. He also worked in Portsmouth, New Hampshire as well as Charlestown and Boston, Massachusetts.In writing this book, author Smith was able to utilize family papers and correspondence, long thought lost but recovered in the 1970s, to reveal aspects of Bellamy's life that have long puzzled and confused other authors. She also explores his carving methods and techniques. More than 60 illustrations and newly drawn patterns provide an overview of this unusual craftsman.

Download or read book The Formation of Croatian National Identity written by Alex J. Bellamy and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework, calling into question both primordial and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity, before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so, the book provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important. An explanation is given of how Croatian national identity was formed in the abstract, via a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state. The book shows how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different versions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were manifested in social activities as diverse as football, religion, economics and language. This book attempts to make an important contribution to both the way we study nationalism and national identity, and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.
