Download or read book George Smart written by Jonathan Christie and published by Unicorn Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Smart was born in 1774 and died a pauper in Frant, Sussex in 1846. During these years he served as a soldier, worked as a tailor, got married and raised a daughter. He also created unique artworks that are recognised as hugely important within the idiom of English Folk Art. Yet there are no books dedicated to his life and work.In the summer of 2014 however, the spotlight finally fell on George Smart when 21 works by him appeared alongside other non-academic artists such as the Cornish painter Alfred Wallis and the embroiderer Mary Linwood, in the Folk Art exhibition at Tate Britain, London. This unprecedented exposure to a global audience sparked a huge interest in this imaginative and entrepreneurial artist.Despite the extent and assured attribution of his body of work, we actually know very little for sure about George Smart, the Tailorof Frant. Where he lived, the materials he used and the subjects he chose, sketches an impression of his genius loci; whilst the consistency, the quality and the quantity of his work, helps to add texture to this life imagined. The rest however-his motivation, his personality-is guesswork as, like most ordinary working men, his documentary footprint is almost non-existent. His silent artworks are all that speak for him now.Following in the successful footsteps of Alfred Wallis: Cornish Primitive Painter, the first of Unicorn Press's books on Folk Art.

Download or read book Bespoke written by Richard Anderson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true-life story of a boy who quit school to become an apprentice on Savile Row, home to London's most venerable tailors, and wound up owning his own shop on the world-famous 'Golden Mile', where he hand-cuts exquisite suits for a clientele including royalty, politicians, literati, business tycoons, and media stars. On a bright, bitterly cold and snowy morning in January 1982, 17-year-old Richard Anderson made his way with his father to an interview at Savile Row's illustrious Henry Huntsman & Sons. They were late, but Richard got the job, with its meagre salary of only £2,000 a year, and his life was changed forever. Huntsman was arguably the world's most prestigious tailoring house, and Richard's apprenticeship proved a humbling ordeal overseen by three titans of the trade: the formidably debonair Colin Hammick, fellow chain-smoker and grumpy eccentric Brian Hall, and Dick Lakey, the company's heroically overworked 'leg man'. Training under these men in the arcane art of making trousers and coats that could cost as much as £10,000 was an inspiring but also gruelling game, yet 'Young Richard' persisted for 17 more years of rigorous practice in perfectionism and prestige - to become, at 34, the youngest head cutter in Huntsman's 150-year history. Witty and told with great candour, Bespoke is a fascinating behind-the-scenes exposé of life on Savile Row from one of the world's most celebrated and successful tailors.
