"Elizabeth Robins Pennell, Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism "
Author: KimberlyMorse JonesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351568442
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Mining various archives and newspaper repositories, Elizabeth Robins Pennell, Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism provides the first full-length study of a remarkable woman and heretofore neglected art critic. Pennell, a prolific 'New Art Critic', helped formulate and develop formalist methodology in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, which she applied to her mostly anonymous or pseudonymous reviews published in numerous American and British newspapers and periodicals between 1883 and 1923. A bibliography of her art criticism is included as an appendix. In addition to advocating an advanced way in which to view art, Pennell used her platform to promote the work of ?new? artists, including ?ouard Manet and Edgar Degas, which had only recently been introduced to British audiences. In particular, Pennell championed the work of James McNeill Whistler for whom she, along with her husband, the artist Joseph Pennell, wrote a biography. Examination of her contributions to the late Victorian art world also highlights the pivotal role of criticism in the production and consumption of art in general, a point which is often ignored.

Book Description
Excerpt from More Reminiscences of an Old Bohemian IT has happened this way More than one of the many flattering reviewers of my Days and Ways of an Old Bohemian, some four years ago, remarked that no doubt I could fill another volume with stories of my exception ally varied experiences oi life. N ow, recalling those friendly suggestions, I realise that, when writing such a book and covering a period of sixty years with no diary or previously prepared notes to rely on, one is apt to overlook many incidents and people as interesting as those remembered at the time. In fact, I find that I have sufficient material for a second book, which I trust will be as well appreciated as the other.

Book Description
Ever since his creation, Sherlock Holmes has enthralled readers. Our perception of him and his faithful companion, Dr Watson, has been shaped by a long line of film, TV and theatre adaptations. This richly illustrated book, compiled by Alex Werner, Head of History Collections at the Museum of London, is an essential guide to the great fictional detective and his world. Using the museum's unrivalled collections of photographs, paintings and original artefacts, it illuminates the capital city that inspired the Sherlock Holmes stories, in particular its fogs, Hansom cabs, criminal underworld, famous landmarks and streets. Accompanying the landmark exhibition at the Museum of London, the first since 1951, this book explores how Arthur Conan Doyle's creation of Sherlock Holmes has transcended literature and continues to attract audiences to this day. Authoritatively written by leading experts, headed by Sir David Cannadine, this thought-provoking companion sheds new light on the famous sleuth and reveals the truth behind the fiction, over 125 years after the first Sherlock Holmes story was written.
