Taylor & Francis Ltd Historys Beauties
Book SynopsisThe ''beauties'' - women of note - who were welcomed to the National Portrait Gallery''s early collection were those whose lives and portraits were recognized as significant to the ''civil, ecclesiastical and literary history of the nation''. This brief was interpreted to include figures as diverse as the devout Lady Margaret Beaufort, and the entertaining Lady Emma Hamilton. History''s Beauties, the first detailed study of this collection, maps a culture of femininity that reframes the Victorian fascination with women''s domestic and sentimental presence by locating it within a Parliament-centred ''national'' culture. Including an essay on the Gallery''s Trustees, the book traces the translation of their governors'' culture to a public institution through discussions of three themes in the National Portrait Gallery''s collection of women''s portraits: portraits of the Royal family and the cult of legitimacy in antiquities and in national identity; the educated woman as model of domestTrade Review'Lara Perry's interdisciplinary approach weaves together in a complex pattern many ideas, topics, and strands of thought. ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Time Present and Time Past
Book SynopsisJohn Everett Millais (1829-1896) is undoubtedly among the most important of Victorian artists. In his day, and our own, he remains also the most controversial. While, during his lifetime, controversy centred around his early Pre-Raphaelite paintings, in particular Christ in the house of his Parents (1850), during the twentieth century the most intense criticism has been directed towards Millais's later works, such as Bubbles (1886), which has been widely condemned as sentimental 'kitsch'. These later paintings have been held up as the epitome of the degradation of art, against which avant-garde and Modernist pioneers struggled. None of the existing literature on Millais addresses the fundamental problem that this double-identity reveals. While there is extensive material on the Pre-Raphaelite movement in general, Millais's own work after the 1850s is rarely discussed in detail, despite the fact that he lived and worked for another 30 years after his abandonment of the Pre-RaphaeliteTrade ReviewIn this perceptive and well argued study Mr Barlow offers a re-evaluation of Millais and challenges the accepted view that Millais was only 'a purveyor of kitsch'. Contemporary Review For Barlow, instead of consigning Millais to an outmoded preciousness, those are the exact tensions and contradictions that make him a compelling model for contemporary artists today. Modern Painters, Feb 06 ' ... this is a great contribution to the serious study of Millais as a painter. Paul Barlow's new readings of so many important paintings deserve to displace the conventional myths and anecdotes. This book rewards multiple readings and provokes new understandings of familiar paintings'. The Art Book 2006 The most sustained and considered contribution to scholarship on John Everett Millais in a century, Time Present and Time Past is essential reading for anyone interested in reconsidering perhaps the most important British artist of the second half of the nineteenth century and for scholars who wish to approach Victorian art unapologetically and in full confidence of its brilliance... rarely fails to stimulate and will provide rich ground for further academic enquiry... a significant book...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Visualizing Research
Book SynopsisVisualizing Research guides postgraduate students in art and design through the development and implementation of a research project, using the metaphor of a 'journey of exploration'. For use with a formal programme of study, from masters to doctoral level, the book derives from the creative relationship between research, practice and teaching in art and design. It extends generic research processes into practice-based approaches more relevant to artists and designers, introducing wherever possible visual, interactive and collaborative methods. The Introduction and Chapter 1 'Planning the Journey' define the concept and value of 'practice-based' formal research, tracking the debate around its development and explaining key concepts and terminology. âMapping the Terrainâ then describes methods of contextualizing research in art and design (the contextual review, using reference material); âLocating Your Positionâ and âCrossing the Terrainâ guide the reader through the stages of identifying an appropriate research question and methodological approach, writing the proposal and managing research information. Methods of evaluation and analysis are explored, and of strategies for reporting and communicating research findings are suggested. Appendices and a glossary are also included. Visualizing Research draws on the experience of researchers in different contexts and includes case studies of real projects. Although written primarily for postgraduate students, research supervisors, managers and academic staff in art and design and related areas, such as architecture and media studies, will find this a valuable research reference. An accompanying website www.visualizingresearch.info includes multimedia and other resources that complement the book.Trade Review'At last we have a book making sense of practice-based approaches to research in art and design. This should be essential reading for all masters and doctoral students in the field.' Professor Rachel Cooper, Director, Adelphi Research Institute for Creative Arts and Sciences, University of Salford, UK. 'It is written in a warm, refreshing and stimulating style...the writing style employed by the authors is very readable and, throughout the book, illustrations are used to good effect...The six chapters that make up this book cover a wide range of issues...A number of different techniques for data reduction and data presentation are considered...Although this book is intended to be a support aid for research students in Art and Design, there is a considerable amount of generic material embedded within it...it would make useful reading for other students embarking on research projects in other disciplines. It would also form a useful resource for people who are new to research supervision - it abounds with good advice and many useful references!'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Galerie Espagnole and the Museo Nacional
Book SynopsisAn important and critical re-evaluation of the Galerie Espagnole, this book presents new interpretations of the special collection of Spanish (or purportedly Spanish) paintings formed under Louis-Philippe and exhibited in the Louvre from 1838 through 1848. Alisa Luxenberg undertakes a new examination of the Parisian collection in relation to its lesser-known Spanish homologue, the Museo Nacional in Madrid, a collection of mostly old master Spanish paintings and sculptures that was formed at the very same time. Revealing the political agendas behind each museum, and the different manners in which their goals were pursued, Luxenberg analyzes the critical and visual reception of the collections as well as their intersection with contemporary debates about aesthetics and patrimony, the role of the art museum, and national and international politics.Trade Review’..With its impressive archival research and uncluttered writing style, this book makes a significant contribution to scholarship in French and Spanish art history and museum studies. Highly recommended...’ Choice ’The most important aspect to this valuable corrective study is that for the first time, we learn about what the Spanish thought about it all. In a finely nuanced account, Luxenberg reveals how many in the Spanish artistic establishment were either ambivalent, or indeed multivalent towards the French. There are fascinating accounts of the equivocal roles played by Carderera, Madrazo and Villaamil, all of whom would become pillars of Isabelline Madrid.’ Journal of the History of CollectionsTable of ContentsContents: The two museums from a trans-Pyrenean perspective; The Galerie Espagnole: content and critical reception in France; The protagonists and their priorities; Conception: precedents and provocations; Creation: the mission; Responses in Spain to Taylor's mission and the Galerie Espagnole; The Spanish galleries: the Museo Nacional and Museos Provinciales; Rethinking the visual legacy of the Galerie Espagnole; Closing thoughts; Bibliography; Index.
