 History and Philosophy of Art Education
Put more simply, art education can be seen as an economic necessity or, conversely, as a 'disinterested' study for its own sake contributing to the cultural well-being of individuals and collectively to the nation.
Both Art and Art Education have their own 'public traditions', inheritance and community which can be seen and analysed from a sociologist's point of view as sub-cultures with powerful hierarchies, rewards and sanctions.
All of these contradictory orientations are interwoven in and through the history of art and design education and have given rise to a wide variety of practices and conceptions of what the art curriculum is for.

 Albert Bierstadt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Determining at an early age to become a painter, he returned to Düsseldorf in 1853 to study art at its famed academy, developing the grandiose style which characterized much of his later work.
Based on sketches he made during one of his trips abroad, Storm on the Matterhorn was completed in 1886 in New York and amply demonstrates the artist's love of the sublime as well as the technical skill and imaginative power that so greatly appealed to the viewers of his day.

 SparkNotes: Vincent van Gogh: The Art Business (1872–1876)
Vincent worked in the art trade with Goupil and Company for six and a half years in total, although we only have documentation of about four of those years.
Soon afterward, in 1873, Vincent was transferred to London on a promotion, stopping in Paris to visit the art museums there, and Theo took his brother's position in The Hague offices of Goupil.
His interest in art history and literature (particularly Shakespeare) grew, and his informal education led to the formation of rudimentary opinions about the role and value of art.

 Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide: Spring 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The "Art Union" was a nineteenth-century institution of art patronage organized on the principle of joint association by which the revenue from small individual annual membership fees was spent (after operating costs) on contemporary art, which was then redistributed among the membership by lot.
On the charge that AUL prints were taken from inferior art, the records show that of the thirty-four prints (and sets) offered between 1838 and 1859, eighteen were from paintings by academicians, eighteen were historical subjects, six were landscapes (including one by Turner in 1858), and nine were genre images (including two by Frith).
The AUL was dedicated to an idealistic radical reform of the London art world and the agency of its middle-class subscribers in it yet, ironically, it had little impact on the London art world.

 SparkNotes: Vincent van Gogh: Family and Childhood (1853–1871)
Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in the town of Groot- Zundert in Brabant, a region of The Netherlands close to the Belgian border.
The Tilburg school had a well- respected art teacher, but Vincent showed no inclination toward art as a child, and his eccentricities did not manifest themselves in a particularly creative or artistic manner.
Any creative potential was apparently completed sublimated or not yet developed–a few of his early drawings survive, and although they show a modest talent for realistic rendering and copying the works of others, they are in no way outstanding or unusual for a child of his age.

This new publication by the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., complements a current exhibit at the museum exploring the use and meaning of the kimono in America, but the volume is more than an exhibition catalogue.
The first section, "The Kimono in American Art and Fashion, 1853-1996", includes an essay by Nancy A. Corwin, curator of European and American Decorative Arts at the Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, on Japonisme in U.S. culture.
The importance of collectors of Japanese artifacts, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as the influence of Orientalism on the Arts and Crafts and Dress Reforms movements, fashion designers including Paul Poiret and others, and the incorporation of the kimono into Western theater and dance, are all covered, with accompanying illustrations.

Born in London on November 27 1853, he was trained at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won gold and silver medals, and exhibited his first picture in 1876.
Less than a month ago, in opening the Guildford Exhibition, he deplored what he called the cult of ugliness, and said that art should be retained on sound and wholesome lines in two ways, by knowledge and by the exercise of the feeling of sincerity.
The determined stand for what he saw as sanity in art was made the keynote of the occasion when in 1926, he was nominated by the new Chancellor of Oxford University, the late Lord Cave, for the honorary degree of DCL.

 The Modern Use of Victorian Periodical Art Criticism
In addition to giving an idea of what the Victorian public read about the arts, these periodical writings indicate broad trends that affect the taste of artist and audience alike.
Brook's The Awakened Conscience, in which a family of tramps remorsefully look at a young child saying his prayers, was noticed by the Art-Joural, 15 (1853), 150, and both noticed and engraved by the Illustrated London News, 22 (1853): 388-89.
Thus, after praising Poynter's version of the prodigal son theme, the reviewer remarks that William Gale and W. Poole exhibited similar subjects the same year; and turning to the notices of the 1861 exhibition we discover ourselves that J. Horsley had painted a well-received painting on the same theme.

In the late 1860s two notable art collectors gravitated to William Trost Richards’s work: the Reverend Elias Lyman Magoon, who in 1864 sold his collection to Matthew Vassar for the newly constructed Vassar College Art Gallery and George Whitney, who gave Richards financial security.
