‎Potter, Julian‎

‎Mary Potter. A Life of Painting.‎

‎Aldershot: Lund Humphries, 2004. 128 S. Broschiert.‎

‎Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Mary Potter (1900-1981) is now recognized as one of the foremost British women painters of her time. The elusive colours, the fugitive shapes and textures in her pictures convey the ephemeral quality of the air and light of the spare coastal landscape around Aldeburgh. From the Beckenham School of Art and the Slade (which she left in 1921 having collected seven prizes), through her early involvement with the New English Art Club and the Seven and Five, this book traces her Continental wanderings and marriage to Stephen Potter in the 1920s, life in Chiswick in the 1930s, the war years and the burgeoning of her career after the move to Suffolk. Mary Potter did not align herself with any group or movement: she worked independently and unremittingly throughout her long life, attracting many loyal admirers of her work. Julian Potter`s text carefully weaves together the story of her life and career, drawing on his own memories, talks with many of his mother`s surviving friends, and the unpublished diaries of his father, Stephen Potter.

‎Robinson, Duncan‎

‎Stanley Spencer.‎

‎Oxford: Phaidon, 1990. 128 S. Gebundene Ausgabe mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) was born and raised in the Berkshire village of Cookham-on-Thames. From there he travelled to London daily to attend classes at the Slade School of Fine Art, a habit which earned him the nickname `Cookham` among his fellow students, and in turn a jest which rang true for the whole of his career. For Spencer`s art was rooted in his native soil, in his view a suburb not of London but of Heaven. Commissioned as an Official War Artist in both World Wars, and in demand as a landscape and portrait painter, Spencer spent much of his life eschewing the easy success which his talents as a draftsman guaranteed. He regarded his subject pictures as paramount, from the Nativity on Cookham Moor (1912) to Christ Preaching at Cookham Regatta (unfinished in 1959). In between, in pictures such as Love Among Nations (1935), he gave daring embodiment to the finer details of a highly personal theology in which he proposed sexual freedom as the means to reconcile body to body and body to soul. In this new book, Duncan Robinson has revised and expanded his earlier short monograph. Into an entertaining account of the artist`s career, he weaves an appreciation of Spencer`s individuality and an assessment of his place in the wider context of twentieth-century European art. Finally, he argues that Spencer`s true stature as an artist is emerging only now, a century after his birth. (Klappentext). ISBN 9780714826165‎

‎Beard, Geoffrey‎

‎The National Trust Book of the English House Interior.‎

‎London: Viking, 1990. 320 S. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Aus dem Inhalt: MEDIEVAL PATTERNS -- TUDOR SYMMETRY -- `SOLIDITY, CONVENIENCY AND ORNAMENT`: THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY -- THE SPIRIT OF BUILDING, 1700-1760 -- VISIONS AND REVIVALS, 1760-1830 -- CONVENIENT, SPACIOUS OR SNUG, 1830-1914. - Dr Geoffrey Beard`s researches into the craftsmen who worked in the great English country houses are well known. He has already drawn together the fruits of over forty years` work in a number of important books and here provides, for general readers, the essential facts about the historic house interior. Dividing the time-span from about 1500 to 1900 into six chapters, he discusses the plan of the house in each period, the uses of rooms and such structural features as floors, wainscoted, painted and plastered decoration, doors, windows, chimneypieces and staircases. Wherever possible, Dr Beard cites examples from the 200 or so properties open to visitors that are administered by the National Trust in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. He writes not only about the great interiors at Hardwick Hall, Sudbury Hall and Kedleston Hall (Derbyshire), Petworth House (West Sussex) and Saltram in Devon but also of those at such smaller but richly decorated settings as Little Moreton Hall (Cheshire), Hanbury Hall (Hereford and Worcester) and Ibwnend (Cumbria). Most of these houses retain their important rooms, laid out by the families who built them, together with their fittings and contents. In order to give a balanced account, however, mention is made of interiors in many other historic houses - smaller vernacular houses, terrace and back-to-back houses. ISBN 9780670809790‎

‎The Aesthetic Movement.‎

‎London: Phaidon, 1996. 240 S. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Umschlag leicht berieben und am Rücken etwas ausgeblichen, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Inhalt: BLUE AND WHITE TO BLACK AND WHITE -- THE CULT OF JAPAN -- A DISSONANCE IN GOLD AND SILVER -- ARTISTS AND STUDIOS -- WHISTLER AND RUSKIN: 1878 WATERSHED OF THE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT AND ITS AFTERMATH -- SATIRE AND AESTHETICISM -- OSCAR WILDE AND THE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT IN AMERICA -- E.W. GODWIN: `FIRST OF THE AESTHETES` -- THE FRENCH CONNECTION - FINDE SIECLE -- THE SLEEPING WOMAN AWAKES -- THE TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY OF THE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT. - Originating from the Greek, aesthetics is the name which has been given since classical times to the study of beauty and the nature of the beautiful. In the second half of the nineteenth century, fuelled by the writings of Walter Pater and Baudelaire and the art of the Pre-Raphaelites, British poets, painters, designers and architects began to turn to aesthetic concerns and to place more emphasis on ornament and on the past. The result was the Aesthetic Movement and a new freedom in all aspects of the fine and decorative arts. In architecture, the dogmatism of Gothic gave way to the charm of Queen Anne. In interiors, heavy Victorian forms were replaced by the lighter, fresher Japanese-inspired shapes and in the graphic arts, innovative methods, coupled with a new approach to form led to the revitalization of illustration and book design. Believing that beauty should permeate every sphere of life, the Aesthetes` rallying cry was Art for Art`s Sake`. Oscar Wilde, one of the movement`s most characteristic and charismatic members, was heard to complain about the difficulty of `living up to one`s blue and white china` and his flamboyant dress and lifestyle made him one of the most widely known figures of the late nineteenth century. Together with James McNeill Whistler, Aubrey Beardsley and a host of other colourful figures, Wilde felt very strongly about elegance and richness and it was this very coherence of philosophy that held the Aesthetic Movement together and gave it a lasting influence. From the languid figures of Rossetti to the sunflowers of Wilde and the flamboyance of Ellen Terry, Aesthetic motifs cannot be easily forgotten. Focusing on the designers and artists who worked both in Europe and the United States, this beautiful and witty book will prove invaluable to enthusiasts of design and architecture and to all those intrigued by the social history of the period. An era of lofty concerns, this was also a time when the cult of the `higher silliness` was indulged, when the sunflower and the lily and the peacock`s feather were objects of worship and Wilde is said to have sat up all night talking to a primrose. An entertaining and charming story told exceptionally well by a witty and lucid author, The Aesthetic Movement will both delight and inform. (Klappentext). ISBN 9780714830001‎
