Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Henry Raeburn: A Selection From His Portraits Men's Sight than one of the half-dozen true royalties of art - is a fact that should astonish nobody. Portraiture, indeed, is probably the most popular, being certainly the most 'interesting, ' of all the departments of painting; and from Holbein downwards through the centuries, its practitioners amongst us have lacked neither oppor tunity nor recognition in their lives, and in their deaths have been remembered and esteemed with an enthusiasm sometimes wholly dispr0portionate to their deserts. For one or another reason Romney commands a higher price than Van Dyck, unless Van Dyck be at his very best; while you could furnish a gallery with Lelys and Knellers, and have something over to spend in Raeburns, for the cost of a single Gainsborough. This, of course, is fame - fame of a kind; but the fame of Raeburn is far other in type, and rests on very different grounds. He has neither Romney's sentiment' nor Gainsborough's charm his achievement is largely wanting in that purely personal' quality so dear to the British mind, and is touched with scarce a vestige of that imperfect, or 'wholly individual', craftsmanship so near to the British heart. It is sane in ambition, severe in style, distinguished in method, nothing if not artistic in effect. For all such qualities as 'latent poetry of suggestiveness', as 'exquisite yet lofty subjee tivity', as passionate yet almost morbific subtlety of vision and realization - for them and their like, I say, you must look elsewhere than here. He was content to be a painter, and to invest his work with the unpopular yet sovereign element of style. Fashion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An edited volume devoted to the reception and reputation of Edinburgh's premier Enlightenment portrait painter.Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) is especially well known in Scotland as the portrait painter of members of the Scottish Enlightenment. However, outside Scotland, the artist rarely makes more than a fleeting appearance in survey books about portraiture. A review of the most recent exhibition devoted to the artist held in Edinburgh and London during 1997/8, noted that it wears the aspect of a closure rather than a new dawn' in Raeburn studies, with the painter being shown 'in solitary splendour'.This volume seeks to recover Raeburn from his artistic isolation by looking at his local and international reception and reputation, both in his lifetime and posthumously. It focuses as much on Edinburgh and Scotland as on metropolitan markets and cosmopolitan contexts. Previously unpublished archival material will be brought to light for the first time, especially from the Innes of Stow papers and the archives of the dukes of Hamilton.Key Features* 14 chapters each looking at different aspects of Raeburn's professional career* International scholars contributing to Raeburn studies for the first time* Interdisciplinary perspectives setting a new agenda for Raeburn studies* Traditional art analysis integrated with cultural, social, political and economic history* Includes much unpublished archival materialKeywordsScotland, Raeburn, Enlightenment, portraiture, art, patronage, taste, collecting

Book Synopsis Photography and Failure by : Kris Belden-Adams
Download or read book Photography and Failure written by Kris Belden-Adams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout photography’s history, failure has played an essential, recurring part in the development and perceived value of this medium. Exploring a range of failures – individual and institutional, technological and historiographical – Photography and Failure asks what it means to fail and considers how this narrative of failure has shaped our understanding of photography. From the trial-and-error beginnings of photochemistry to poor business decisions influenced by fickle public opinion and taste, the founders and early practitioners of photography frequently faced bankruptcy and ignominy. Alongside these individual ‘failures’, this collection of essays examines the role of museums in rediscovering, preserving and presenting photographs within institutions, as well as technological limitations, such as the problematic panoramic lens or the digital, archival failures of Snapchat. Moving beyond the physical photograph and these processes, the book also investigates the limitations of photographs themselves, as purveyors of truth, time, space, documentary realism and social change, whether these failures are used to effect or not. Finally, the book probes the historiographical failures affecting the discipline, drawing on key debates, such as the perceived over-emphasis on European and American photography, and the place of photography theory in contemporary art practice. Blurring the boundaries between traditional binaries of art and non-art photography, amateur and professional practice, and individual and corporate perspectives, Photography and Failure presents a new approach to understanding and evaluating photographic history.
