  William Morris - Art and Socialism - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Art and Socialism was delivered, as a lecture, to the Leicester Secular Society on January 23rd, 1884.
"Art and Socialism's outstanding feature is perhaps the stress laid on work as a necessity of human life, not merely as a means of obtaining a livelihood.
Art and Socialism was transcribed from the Political Writings of William Morris by Chris Croome for the

 Vincent Art Gallery: About Georges Seurat
In 1884 he met Signac and, with other likeminded artists, the Society of Independent Artists was founded to hold its own exhibitions.
In 1886 Seurat aroused great attention at the VIII Impressionists Exhibition with his masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-1886, Art Institute of Chicago) and achieves an atmosphere of monumental dignity through the balanced arrangement of its elements and the contours of its figures.
He began to show his work alongside that of Pissarro and Signac; he met the art theorist C. Henry, and was in contact with Symbolists and anarchists.

 Georges Seurat Biography - Renoir Fine Art Inc.
He rejected the soft, irregular brushstrokes of impressionism in favor of pointillism, a technique he developed whereby solid forms are constructed by applying small, close-packed dots of unmixed color to a white background.
From this year on, he scorned the academic art of the Salon and allied himself with the young independent painters.
In the summer of 1884, Seurat embarked on another major canvas, again depicting the popular boating place of Asnieres, but this time focusing on the island of La Grande Jatte in the Seine.

 Women in Art- Kathe Kollwitz
Kollwitz's art resounds with compassion as she makes appeals on behalf of the working poor, the suffering and the sick.
She attended The Berlin School of Art in 1884 and later went to study in Munich.
She was forbidden to exhibit, and her art was classified as "degenerate." Despite these events, Kollwitz remained in Berlin unlike artists such as Max Beckman and George Grosz who fled the country.

However, he was receptive to the art particularly of Raphael and Leonardo: his sense of ideal beauty and the structure of his compositions owe much to Raphael, while his handling of textures and light presupposes Leonardo.
Vrubel’s art, academic in a sense, was based on the cult of the model and drawing.
In 1884, the famous art historian Adrian Prakhov, who supervised the re-construction of the old and construction of the new cathedrals in Kiev, invited Vrubel to take part in the restoration of the Old Russian murals and mosaics in the 12th century Church of St. Cyril.

The art market dealing with Islamic art is well represented in Paris, but not on the same scale as that in London.
Rarely displayed, the collections of Islamic art in the French central regions are unknown to the public; moreover, the history of the provenance and acquisition of their pieces are poorly documented.
Paris is one of the important markets for Islamic art, with experts of international reputation, such as Jean Soustiel and Marie-Christine David, whose gallery, first established in 1926 by Joseph Soustiel is the oldest in Paris specializing in Islamic art.

The original 20 members of the Boston Art Club were a group of home-spun American artists who shared a common goal to achieve recognition and a more independent professional role in Boston, a city that had largely ignored them.
In 1882 a permanent clubhouse was built on fashionable Newbury Street, and by 1884, the Art Club had 876 members, of whom 126 were professional artists.
Boston and the Boston Art Club embraced American artists returning from the land of Claude Monet with their own interpretations of the new art form.

His father, a prosperous, self-made man who was a founding partner of Pedro Domecq sherries, collected art and encouraged his son's literary activities, while his mother, a devout evangelical Protestant, early dedicated her son to the service of God and devoutly wished him to become an Anglican bishop.
Although it is undeniable that he was an extravagant and inconsistent thinker (a reflection of his lifelong mental and emotional instability), it is equally true that he revolutionized art criticism and wrote some of the most superb prose in the English language.
Eve Tempted (1877) is a striking and slightly unnerving interpretation of the serpent in the Garden of Eden whispering into Eve's ear as she stands under the Tree of Knowledge, on a faux-naïf early Renaissance carpet of flowers.

 Ruskin MP I Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
According to Brandon Taylor, the early public exhibitions of art organised in London in the 1760s aimed to present 'Britishness' or 'Englishness' in order to 'define a set of values for visual culture' and that 'the terms were often interchangeable' (Taylor, Art For The Nation, p.1).
This lack of any distinction beween 'English Art' and 'British Art' was also continued by Cook and Wedderburn who refer to the late series of Oxford lectures entitled The Art of England (1884), as 'the Oxford lectures on contemporary British artists' (Works, 14.xix).
In the mid twentieth-century the concept of 'Englishness' was explored in Pevsner, The Englishness of English Art (1956).

Mackintosh’s scholarship-winning drawings for the Public Hall were sent, together with a design for a science and Art Museum, to South Kensington, the Glasgow Art School then being administered by the Department of Science and Art in London.
The Science and Art Museum was one of Mackintosh’s student works, entered into a competition for the Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson scholarship it pays homage to the work of Thomson and cannot be easily recognised as the work of Mackintosh.
Although beautifully rendered and explicitly detailed only one elevation existed for the Science and Art Museum, after a period of research a basic plan and section were located and work began on redrawing the front elevation on the computer.

 William Morris - Art and Socialism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
My friends, I want you to look into the relations of Art to Commerce, using the latter word to express what is generally meant by it; namely, that system of competition in the market which is indeed the only form which most people now-a-days suppose that Commerce can take.
All works of Art in short have the property of becoming venerable amidst decay: and reason good, for from the first there was a soul in them, the thought of man, which will be visible in them so long as the body exists in which they were implanted.
It is an old story of men who have become rich by dishonest and tyrannical means, spending in terror of the future their ill-gotten gains liberally and in charity as 'tis called: nor are such people praised; in the old tales 'tis thought that the devil gets them after all.

1884 to meet a number of prominent English artists.
In Sargent's sketch, we apparently are looking across the open central hallway on the second level with interest to the Corinthian columns and the arched door openings.
Harvard doesn't date the work and the only reference I could find of Sargent going there was at that dinner given by Henry James in 1884.

 Crawford Art Gallery
With the two existing structures (the Customs House dating from 1724 and the Crawford School of Art addition from 1884) clad in brick, the Crawford Art Gallery is an inadvertent symbol of the mercantile relationship between the Irish and the Dutch.
This consideration makes Egeraat (who won a competition for the Art Gallery in 1996) a sensible choice to design the addition that would stitch these older buildings together.
His refreshing approach to the exterior helps to express the complex of brick-clad pieces as a time line, each built approximately 100 years apart.

The exhibition "Gregor Mendel" is based on "The Genius of Genetics, a celebration of Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) through science and art".
These offer new and searching insights from vivid creative perspectives, bringing personal investigations to bear on the relationship between art and science.
The contemporary artists in this exhibition share a fascination with the classification of nature, with the patterns observed in natural phenomena and in the animal kingdom, and with the scientific search for explanations of deep formal affinities across diverse physical and biological systems.

While the painting certainly had a landmark effect upon art, its effect was mostly in THIS country rather than world-wide, and it was, after, a derivative painting based upon ongoing studies in Cubism at the time by Picasso and Braque.
While technically, a breakthrough in the use of color and a sort of "scientific Impressionism," the overall scene is one of stiff formality in no way capturing the relaxed, playful quality of the setting.
The problem was, Turner was little appreciated by his contemporaries and had a far greater effect upon AMERICAN art than he did on the mainstream English or French painters who largely had to "rediscover" during the Impressionist era, that which he'd already known some forty years before.
