This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyses British exhibitions of Middle Eastern (particularly ancient Egyptian and Persian) artefacts during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – examining how these exhibitions defined British self image in response to the Middle Eastern ‘other’. This study is an original interpretation of the exhibition space along intersectional constructionist lines, revealing how forces such as gender, race, morality and space come together to provide an argument for British supremacy. The position of museums as instruments of representation of display made them important points of contact between the British national imperialist scheme and the public. Displays in the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and Burlington House provide a focus for analysis. Through the employment of a constructionist lens, the research outlines a complex relationship between British society and the Middle Eastern artefacts presented in museums during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This allows a dialogue to emerge which has consequences for both societies which is achieved through intersections of gender, race and morality in space. This book will be of value to students and scholars alike interested in museology, cultural studies, history and art history.

Excerpt: ...was, moreover, natural that the Copts, the old inhabitants of Egypt, should have early discovered the method of defeating the warping tendencies of their hot climate by means of a minute subdivision into panels. Taking these various considerations, it is not so rash as it seemed to assume that the art of carving panels in the style characteristic of Coptic screens and Muslim pulpits was native to Egypt, and was the special property of the Copts. The Coptic churches also contain some examples of figure carving, somewhat resembling the hunting figures of Mosil metalwork. A noble triforium screen in the church of St. Barbara, and another in the church of St. Sergius (Abu-Sargah), in Old Cairo, are decorated with warrior saints and beasts much after the model of the horsemen of Mesopotamian art. There may of course be a connection between these and Kalaun's panels, described above, but it is not necessary to trace the two to the same source. There can be no doubt of the Mesopotamian origin of Kalaun's carvings; but those of St. Sergius may not improbably be directly derived FIG. 56.--LATTICE-WORK. (South Kensington Museum.) from Byzantine models, with which they show more affinity than with the Mosil style. Had these carvings been derived from the Mesopotamian school, we should expect to find a prevailing hunting character, interspersed with scenes of festivity, wine-cups, and musical instruments; instead of which the subjects are principally warrior saints of the Byzantine style, and the beasts that accompany them may be due as much to the animal decoration of the Lower Empire as to the hunting-scenes of Persian art. The St. Barbara carvings, however, closely resemble Mosil work, and have even the winged centaur. It is, after all, merely a...

Dow's 'Composition: A Series of Exercises in Art Structure for the Use of Students and Teachers' is a foundational text in the realm of art education and aesthetics. This book delves into the intricacies of art composition, offering a series of exercises that guide students and teachers in understanding the underlying principles of visual organization. Dow's eloquent prose and thoughtful insights provide readers with a deep exploration of art structure, emphasizing the importance of balance, harmony, and rhythm in creating compelling visual compositions. Rooted in the principles of Japanese art and design, 'Composition' stands out for its unique perspective on the practice of art-making. Arthur W. Dow, a prominent American artist and educator, was known for his innovative approach to teaching art. His experiences studying in Europe and Asia influenced his views on art composition, leading him to write this seminal work. Dow's expertise and passion for art education are evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource for aspiring artists and seasoned educators alike. I highly recommend 'Composition' to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of art composition and design principles.
