Download or read book Art and the Sea written by Emma Roberts and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection re-examines the relationship between art and the sea, reflecting growing interest in the intersections between art and maritime history. Artists have always been fascinated by and drawn to the sea and this book considers some of the themes and approaches in art that have evolved as a result of this captivation. The chapters consider how an examination of art can provide new insights into existing knowledge of port and maritime history, and are representative of a ‘cultural turn’ in port and maritime studies, which is becoming increasingly visible. In Art and the Sea, multiple perspectives are offered as a result of the contributors’ individual positions and methodologies: some museological, others art historical or maritime-historical. Each chapter proposes a new way of building upon available interpretations of port and maritime history: whether this be to reject, support or reconsider existing knowledge. The book as a whole is a timely addition, therefore, to the developing body of revisionist texts in port and maritime history. The interdisciplinary nature of the volume relates to a current trend for interdisciplinarity in art history and will appeal to those with an interest in art history, geography, sociology, history and transport / maritime studies.
Download or read book The Birmingham Art Book written by Emma Bennett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Birmingham Art Book is a tribute to a unique city whose visionary scientists and inventors made it famous as a manufacturing powerhouse. From heavy metal industry - here is where the first steam trains were built - to heavy metal music – Black Sabbath made their mark here - this is a place with a proud heritage. Its handsome university is the original of the 'Redbrick' universities, founded by a farsighted mayor in 1900 as a civic place of learning, open to all, now with many world famous alumni and staff, 10 of whom have won Nobel prizes. Local artists convey the architectural glory of Victoria Square and the city centre Museum and Art Gallery (which holds a sumptuous collection of Pre-Raphaelite art). In their drawings, they echo the modern vibrancy of buildings such as the iconic Selfridges department store and the REP theatre. Collages and sketches depict a city buzzing with vitality –from the world-renowned Hippodrome theatre, to the shopping centres and legendary nightlife that are national attractions. Quirky nooks like the Jewellery Quarter, the Electric Cinema or the tranquil Botanic gardens hidden so close to the centre are reflected in this lovely book. The green city with 8000 acres of public parks and many miles of canal paths dating from its heyday in the Industrial Revolution is lovingly drawn and painted by its artists. The Birmingham Art Book is where local artists shine a light on the grand and the humdrum with equal affection. Their love for the modern city is evident and their pride in its heritage comes to the fore in this lovely book.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... RICHARD ANSDELL, R.A. One of the most celebrated of the Liverpool artists was Richard Ansdell, born in Liverpool on 11th May 1815, and educated at the local Blue-coat School. Of his father, little seems to be known, but his grandfather was the owner of saltworks near Northwich. He did not begin to study Art seriously until his twenty-first year; but within a comparatively short time, by 1840, we find him exhibiting two pictures, "Grouseshooting " and "A Galloway Farm," at the Royal Academy; and in 1842, his picture of "The Death of Sir William Lambton," a scene at Marston Moor, with a highly impressive study of a dying horse, won for him considerable notice. Two other successful early pictures by him represented the coursing meet at Aintree, in which portraits of all the leading men were introduced, as well as the dogs and horses; and a portrait of the Earl of Sefton with his horse, in which, howsi ever, there is some reason to suppose that Philip Westcott may have painted the head. The former picture was engraved after exhibition at the Royal Academy. "The Battle of the Standard," exhibited about the same time, brought Ansdell into public favour, and he was induced to leave Liverpool and come to London. He was warmly taken up by the artists of the day, and was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1861, and an R.A. in 1870. His career in London was entirely successful, the average price fetched by his works between 1861 and 1884 being given as 750. A picture of St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, which came into Baron Grant's possession, fetched no less than 1410, 10s., when his collection was dispersed. Between 1857 and 1860, Ansdell travelled in Spain with John DEGREESPhilip, R.A., and the two painted a number of Spanish...

Download or read book Art in a City written by John Willett and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This classic text, originally published in 1967, is here reissued to coincide with the 800th anniversary of the City of Liverpool. Art in a City was a milestone in the examination of urban arts movements and also provides the starting point for looking at art in Liverpool from the 1960s to the present day and beyond." "Commissioned by the Bluecoat Society of Arts, John Willett surveyed the history of the visual arts in the city, looked at the cultural and institutional environment in which they developed, and asked the people of Liverpool how they viewed the visual arts in the city - both in terms of public art and art in enclosed spaces. This had never before been done far a single city, and arguably has never been done since, Willett saw a place with strong traditions in the visual arts, with new developments associated with the city's emergence in the 1960s as a centre for music and poetry." "His book concluded with an agenda for the development of art in Liverpool, and the spirit of this imbued much of the Bluecoat's work in the decades following publication. It is appropriate that Art in a City is being republished, with a new introduction by Bryan Biggs. Artistic Director of the Bluecoat, as Liverpool prepares for its year as European Capital of Culture in 2008, when the spotlight will again be on the city and how the arts can meaningfully engage with society."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Liverpool Academy and Other Exhibitions of Contemporary Art in Liverpool 1774 1867 written by Edward Morris and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liverpool was the first English provincial city in the eighteenth century to hold art exhibitions. Its mid-nineteenth-century exhibitions were notable for attracting Pre-Raphaelite and foreign artists who both had difficulty in showing their works in London. Their development and eventual collapse reveal the importance of municipal enterprise and official subsidy, of the free market and cash flow, of artistic feuds and the battle of styles in the growth of provincial culture. In 1871 art exhibitions were revived in Liverpool under the control of the City Council, but the new Liverpool Autumn Exhibitions were dominated by the Royal Academy and by the other major London exhibiting societies; they no longer needed to be responsive to the local artistic climate and in fact they were a national and not a local institution. This volume makes available to a wider public a remarkable aspect of Liverpool culture. The index to some fifty exhibition catalogues is complemented by extensive essays by Edward Morris and Emma Roberts and six informative appendices.
Download or read book Bluecoat Liverpool written by Bryan Biggs and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bluecoat is a unique and much-loved Liverpool institution, its oldest city centre building. This book tells the fascinating story of its transformation from charity school to contemporary arts centre, the UK’s first. Its early 18th century origins shed light on the religious and maritime mercantile environment of the growing port, whose merchants supported the school. Echoes from then are revealed in themes explored by artists in the 20th century, including slavery and colonial legacies. The predominant focus is on an inclusive building for the arts, starting with colourful bohemian society, the Sandon, who established an artistic colony in 1907, hosting significant exhibitions by the Post-Impressionists and many leading modern British artists. Bluecoat Society of Arts emerged as the building’s custodians, paving the way for the arts centre which, despite financial struggles and wartime bomb damage, survived and continues to play a prominent role in Liverpool’s and the UK’s culture. Bluecoat is described as where ‘village hall meets the avant-garde’. In its rich story, Picasso, Stravinsky, Yoko Ono, Captain Beefheart, Simon Rattle and the inspirational Fanny Calder are just some of the names encountered, as key strands, including music, visual art, performance and the building’s tenants, are traced.
