Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: January, 1923 It is not without purpose that so far we have deferred discussing the age of this bronze. It is a problem that presents insuperable barriers to the western critic, and no trustworthy solution can ever be reached until students of the subject in India turn seriously to search for evidence which can end the large amount of meaningless speculation on the subject. The publication in Rupam of the recent discovery of a dated bronze Nataraj a is a step in the right direction; certainly it should silence those who would have us believe that images such as these date as far back as the eighth or ninth cen tuties, for in spite of its apparent antiquity, judged by the patina the metal had acquired and the comparative simplicity of the modelling, it proves to be inscribed with the date 4611 (1511 A. D.) In part this revelation is but additional proof that appearances of age, in bronzes especially, are no safe guide to accurate dating; in truth the sorry fact that by the application of chemicals and skillful treatment any patina may today be imitated has made us unwary already of depend ing upon that indication alone. It might be said that the Museum's Nataraja is not so old as the one found dated 1511, if we argue that it seems slightly more sophisticated in treatment, a belief to which the sharper form of the features, the more refined turning of the limbs, and the restrained pose of the head and neck all might be said to testify. On the other hand it cannot be denied that a far-earlier sculptor with a readier hand but more restraint might have produced our example in the fifteenth century. And so the matter stands, nor can we hope to get nearer the truth until a close study, technical as well as esthetic, is made of the early Natarajas and similar metal figures in India, a far from uninteresting research and one to be earnestly encouraged. Fortunately uncertainty of date does not trouble our artistic ap preciation of the Nataraja; mere years cannot rob the statue of its imperishable youthfulness in our eyes, and the lithe virility it por trays is unalterably appealing. Though twenty centuries of closely traditional thought have made our western minds purblind to almost all religious symbols save those whose aspects are benignant calm or majestic suffering, yet still we may grasp the happy meaning of the Nataraja - the dance of the all-pervading spirit of the universe that is the rapture, the ecstasy of creation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: April, 1923 Hen Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independ ence and financier of the Revolution, was withdrawing from active participation in the affairs of government, he started to build for his residence in Philadelphia, a splendid mansion on Chestnut Street, between Seventh and Eighth. It was very preten tious in conception: designed by the French architect Pierre Charles l'enfant, it was to be largely of marble, at that time a unique feature in a city made up entirely of houses -of brick or-country stone, and to carry it further towards perfection, Morris brought from Italy a sculptor named Iardella to carve the reliefs for the exterior. As work on the building progressed, the financier placed orders in France-and England for the interior furnishings, so that within as well as with out his dwelling might come up to European decorative standards. Among the furnishings that he ordered from Paris-was the pair of girandoles, here illustrated, which have recently been presented to the Pennsylvania Museum. But they did not hang in the house, for it Was never completed, Morris's vast land holdings in New York, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia were tragically slow in devel oping, a alondon bank in Which he had large funds failed, one of his partners proved dishonest, and in 1797 he was forced into bank ruptcy. On December 11, 1797, the half-completed house and the land whereon it stood were sold to' satisfy his creditors, and the objects even which he had ordered from abroad met the same fate. These girondoles were purchased at the auction by William Wilson, living in High Street west of Eighth, and they have remained in his family ever since, passing to his grandson, Joseph Lapsley Wilson. Of Merion, who has given them to the Museum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: A Description of the Textile Department of the School; September, 1923 The young man who is considering the choice of a school wherein to fit himself for his life's work should not only take into considera tion the practical character of the instruction offered, but he should endeavor to acquaint himself with the importance of the work which the school's graduates are doing in the industry. The school does not offer inducements in the way of promising to find positions for its graduates, but the fact remains that in recent years the demands the Industry makes upon it for suitable young men are in excess of the supply.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: March 1923 The second panel shows three knights, similarly clad, hewing bushes or young trees with swords and hatchets. The middle knight wears a rose-lavender colored hauberk, with white chain mail on his legs. The two side knights are clad in white with ruby hose and ruby belts about their waists. It is to be noticed that the knight on the right has his sword in his ruby scabbard, for, unlike the others, he wields an axe. In other respects the coloring of the panel is like the other, with. A blue background and ruby border, but there appear to be more restored portions. Probably but half of this medallion has its original glass. The trees are stranger than those of the first; rose lavender and pale green, curling and twisting, they resemble the stems of vines. It is even more difficult to tell What these two subjects represent, than to date them. Generally, glass of this period depicts some Bib lical story. They must have been minor parts of a large window, full of medallions, and these tell only part of a story. These knights may represent Christian champions combatting the forces of heathendom, symbolized _as a wilderness of trees; they may themselves be returned Crusaders, the Teutonic Knights, who drove back the un-christian hordes of Northeastern Germany in the thirteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book constitutes a very welcome contribution to the public appreciation and scholarly study of Henry Ossawa Tanner, a painter of considerable significance in both Europe and America, and one whose religious imagery merits careful consideration. These well-researched essays by an international team of scholars offer substantial reflections on complex issues of race and religion, and situate the artist’s work and career within the context of his life and times. This is a robust framing of Tanner as a cultural phenomenon and one that readers will find quite rewarding.”—David Morgan, Professor of Religion at Duke University and author of The Embodied Eye: Religious Visual Culture and the Social Life of Feeling “Henry Ossawa Tanner has finally been recognized as an important artist in the last twenty years, and is now firmly part of the American canon as the first major African American painter to emerge from the academy. This book enriches our understanding of Tanner’s historic place in American art by considering his work as an early modernist religious artist—a status entwined with his race, but not defined by it. These essays, by an impressive collection of scholars, are full of substantially new material, and succeed in broadening our conception of Tanner’s life and work.”—Bruce Robertson, Professor of Art and Architecture at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
