Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1848 Europe was in turmoil. People were starving, work was scarce. Hubert Herkomer’s father, a Bavarian woodcarver, emigrated to the United States with his wife, a musician, and their two-year-old son. But the settled future they hoped for did not materialize – after struggling for six years, the family borrowed money and settled in Southampton. They were almost penniless. With his father’s encouragement, he picked up the paintbrush. At 13 he could paint in oils. Though art school was a disastrous experience, he sold his first painting at 19. His creative mind would end up contributing to multiple fields from photography to car racing. But fame is a roller coaster. Hubert’s loyalty to Germany (and Britain) during the lead up to World War 1 resulted in personal and artistic unpopularity. He died just before the war. However, his vivid and evocative work regained its value in the second half of the twentieth century, restoring his reputation as an artistic paragon and visual chronicler of the Victorian and Edwardian age. This is the story of an artist and his art-filled life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Sir Hubert Herkomer: A Study in Struggle and Success Hubert may have inherited his complexion, much of his temperament and also his musical taste from his mother, but it was from the paternal side that he derived his faculty in art and craftsmanship and technical invention. His grandfather was by trade a plasterer (m aurer), but he was far more than a merely mechanical workman. He had strong artistic instincts as well as a decided gift of invention, which he improved in the making of ingenious locks and other contrivances of a practical and domestic character. From the grandfather probably dated the ambition of building a great house, a monument of the family skill in various arts, which was realized many years later, not in native Bavaria but in the little Hertfordshire village which from its meadows and woodlands sees the lights of London like a dreary dawn on the midnight sky.

Download or read book John Ruskin written by James S. Dearden and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite professing a dislike of having his portrait taken, John Ruskin's footsteps were dogged by portrait painters, sculptors, caricaturists and photographers from the cradle to the grave and beyond. A thoroughly accessible book it lists and describes some 331likenesses made between 1822 and 1998. The three introductory chapters to this book survey Ruskin portraiture and the portraits, his general physical appearance througout his life, his hands, his mouth, his various illnesses and their effect on his appearance, his clothes, style of dress, size, tailors, their bills, etc. These opening chapters include many descriptions and reminiscences by Ruskin's friends and acquaintances, and those who portrayed him. The principal part of the book deals with the individual portraits, their history, where and why they were made, what Ruskin was doing at that time of his life and what his connection was with the artists in question. He was portrayed so regularly that this section is also effectively a potted Ruskin biography, based on the portraits. A 'catalogue raisonne' of the Ruskin portraits follows where the physical details of the works are listed, together with details of reproductions, exhibitions and provenance.
