Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum Journal, 1921, Vol. 12 It will soon be one hundred and fifty years since Captain James Cook was killed in Hawaii, in the group Of islands in the Pacific that he discovered on his last voyage. His death took place in 1779 and the Tapa Book bears the date 1787. Although the author makes no reference to himself at all, it is clear enough that he was a man of firm character, large intelligence, pronounced Opinions, catholic tastes and deep sympathies. It is also a fact that although he is sometimes ungrammatical his use of the English language is picturesque, forceful and full of charm. To those who knew him he must have been an attractive personality with a versatile and entertaining mind, but there is no clue to his identity. The next question that presents itself has reference to the identity of the hero of the Dedication. He must have been a great man and a public figure. Mr. Hall suggests with entire plausibility that the hero was Warren Hastings whose impeachment was pending at the time the Dedication was written. Indeed Mr. Hall succeeds in showing that the man referred to could be no other than Warren Hastings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum Journal, 1915, Vol. 6 HE Amazon Expedition has now been nearly two years in the field. Dr. Farabee arrived in Para in June, 1913, and has since that time conducted the work of the expedition in different regions of the Amazon basin with marked Success. Five Shipments have arrived at the Museum containing the collections made by the expedition during its several explorations. In addi tion to these there have been received a large package of note-books containing records of investigations carried on among the Indian tribes encountered by the expedition, as well as-a collection of over four hundred photographs, which, together with the notes and collections, present a very trustworthy record of aboriginal tribes, some of whom now for the first time become known to the world. The first journey undertaken by Dr. Farabee was one which had for its objective point the boundaries of Venezuela and Brazil. The route traveled was by way of the Rio Negro, Rio Branco and the Rio Uraracuera. A letter from Dr. Farabee dated at Boa Vista, October refers briefly to the results of this pre.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum Journal, 1920, Vol. 11 We have long cherished a belief that a correct interpretation of Indian legend for readers of English could best be made by a native who, though familiar with our habits of thought and forms of expres sion, still felt stirring within' him the passionate appeal of his anoes tors. This mental equipment, combined with careful training in scientific methods of observation and record, constitute Mr. Shot ridge's chief qualification for introducing us to the unwritten literature of his people. Listening to an elder tribesman, he recorded this narrative in his native language and. Afterwards translated it into English, always searching for the forms that convey most faithfully the thought, and reproduce most accurately the style and character of the original idiom. The result is a faithful translation which preserves in some degree the epic character of the Tlingit narrative. Of the literary value of the document there is no need -to speak. At the beginning of 1918 the University Museum installed for a time a special exhibition of the art of the African Negro. Visitors to the Museum then' had an Opportunity of viewing some very interesting and remarkable, examples of sculpture made by tribes occupying the equatorial regions of Africa between the upper reaches of the Congo and Dahomey. A new exhibition is now announced. From the standpoint of the artist and the student of design as well as for the student of customs, African images present much matter for study, but to make them intelligible they should be examined in connection with the ideas of which they are the expres 'sion, and with an understanding of the ends they were made to serve.

The sense in which I use the term includes not only painting and sculpture and all the decorative arts but the art of story telling as well, which implies the literary gift. _it is Obvious that the pages of the journal do not afford scope for an extended critical treatment Of Indian Art with its varied parallel lines of development and their cross currents. -our purpose goes no farther than to illustrate some local phases of Sculpture, Painting, Applied Design and Story Telling.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Review: A Quarterly Journal of Art and Letters; Autumn, 1921 At best one could but clear away a few grosser misconceptions. Gaudier had discriminated against beefy statues, he had given us a very definite appreciation of stone as stone; he had taught us to feel that the beauty of sculpture is inseparable from its material and that it inheres in the material. Brancusi was giv ing up the facile success of representative sculpture about the time Gaudier was giving up his baby - bottle; in many ways his difference from Gaudier is a difference merely of degree, he has had time to make statues where Gaudier had time only to make sketches; Gaudier had purged himself of every kind of rhetoric he had noticed; Brancusi has detected more kinds of rhetoric and continued the process of purgation. When verbally intelligible he is quite definite in the statement that whatever else art is it is not crise des nerfs; that beauty is not grimaces and fortuitous gestures; that starting with an ideal of form one arrives at a mathematical exactitude of proportion. But not by mathematics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Museum Journal Vol 7 written by Pennsylvania University and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum Journal, Vol. 7: March, 1916 The sculptures in the exhibition begin with the Han Dynasty (206 B. C. - 25 A. Extend through the Wei Dynasty (386 - 549 A. The T'ang Dynasty (618 - 907 A. And come down to the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1643 A. This extension covers the rise, culmination and decline of sculpture in China, which had its golden age in the period of the T 'angs. The range of this sculpture extends all the way from the genre type of clay statuettes, reminding one of the Tanagra figurines, and taken from the tombs of the T'ang period, to heroic figures in stone representing Buddhist divinities. In using clay as a vehicle and shaping this soft material into forms of lifelike eloquence, . Combining an easy grace of line with great power Of, expression, the knowledge and ability shown are at times startling. Technical skill, combined with imaginative genius, Is seen 'in many fine examples made by masters of the T 'ang period. It is seen in the figure of a horse and in the larger than life seated statue of a disciple of Buddha, both in the same medium, clay. The last named'superb piece of plastic art Shows in a remarkable way how the: lump of. Clay under the master's touch becomes instinct with life and quick with spiritual and intellectual fire. Other sculptors of the same era, using hard stone as their medium, have handed down to posterity works that claim our greatest admiration and respect. Among the considerable number of stone sculptures in the Museum collection, which date from the Tang Dynasty, all of them on a very high plane of artistic and historic interest, there are at least Six statues that are very great masterpieces. Four of these are. Larger than life and two are under life size. All represent Buddhist conceptions of Divinity. They impress one at once with their latent qualities of immobile power and of energy in repose, qualities that seem to belong especially in the province of sculpture. These true impressions lose nothing on more intimate acquaintance. On the contrary they become associated with other qualities which combine to produce an effect of great dignity and power on the one hand and great refinement andcharm on the other.
