Download or read book Henry Rushbury Prints written by Tod Ramos and published by Royal Academy Books. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Henry Rushbury (1889–1968) is a forgotten treasure of 20th-century British art. Internationally renowned during his lifetime, Rushbury portrayed the landscapes, cities, and street life of Britain and Europe. He was a modern master of the ancient art of drypoint: with a few minute grooves and flecks cut in the surface of a copperplate, he conjured extraordinary effects of mood and atmosphere. This catalogue raisonn� of Rushbury's prints offers the opportunity to rediscover and reassess this astonishing body of work. An introduction by art historian Felicity Owen and a biography by the artist's daughter make a compelling portrait of this superb printmaker.
Download or read book The Athenaeum written by Michael Wheeler and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling history of the famous London club and its members' impact on Britain's scientific, creative, and official life When it was founded in 1824, the Athenæum broke the mold. Unlike in other preeminent clubs, its members were chosen on the basis of their achievements rather than on their background or political affiliation. Public rather than private life dominated the agenda. The club, with its tradition of hospitality to conflicting views, has attracted leading scientists, writers, artists, and intellectuals throughout its history, including Charles Darwin and Matthew Arnold, Edward Burne-Jones and Yehudi Menuhin, Winston Churchill and Gore Vidal. This book is not presented in the traditional, insular style of club histories, but devotes attention to the influence of Athenians on the scientific, creative, and official life of the nation. From the unwitting recruitment of a Cold War spy to the welcome admittance of women, this lively and original account explores the corridors and characters of the club; its wider political, intellectual, and cultural influence; and its recent reinvention.

Download or read book Britain s War Machine written by David Edgerton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The familiar image of the British in the Second World War is that of the plucky underdog taking on German might. David Edgerton's bold, compelling new history shows the conflict in a new light, with Britain as a very wealthy country, formidable in arms, ruthless in pursuit of its interests, and in command of a global production system. Rather than belittled by a Nazi behemoth, Britain arguably had the world's most advanced mechanized forces. It had not only a great empire, but allies large and small.Edgerton shows that Britain fought on many fronts and its many home fronts kept it exceptionally well supplied with weapons, food and oil, allowing it to mobilize to an extraordinary extent. It created and deployed a vast empire of machines, from the humble tramp steamer to the battleship, from the rifle to the tank, made in colossal factories the world over. Scientists and engineers invented new weapons, encouraged by a government and prime minister enthusiastic about the latest technologies. The British, indeed Churchillian, vision of war and modernity was challenged by repeated defeat at the hands of less well-equipped enemies. Yet the end result was a vindication of this vision. Like the United States, a powerful Britain won a cheap victory, while others paid a great price.Putting resources, machines and experts at the heart of a global rather than merely imperial story, Britain's War Machine demolishes timeworn myths about wartime Britain and gives us a groundbreaking and often unsettling picture of a great power in action.
