Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every aspect of the link between the railways and the sea is encompassed from freight and goods as well as passengers, to ferries, docks and seaside resorts. The Guild of Railway Artists focusses on this genre with a selection from their finest artists and the collection includes full colour paintings, detailed line illustrations and vignettes. Using a range of painting media including watercolours, acrylics, oils and gouache, the artists capture the magnificence of the engines set in beautiful countryside, the personalities of the railway workers and holiday makers, as well as the gritty realism of the stations, docks and shunting yards. Peter Clayton has contributed an essay which recalls with warmth and gusto his memories of travelling by train on his childhood family holidays to the seaside. He writes of the planning and packing, the bustle and excitement of the stations and the memorable smells and sounds which accompanied them on their journeys.

Book Synopsis Landscapes Under the Luggage Rack by : Greg Norden
Download or read book Landscapes Under the Luggage Rack written by Greg Norden and published by G.N.R. Publications. This book was released on 1997 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many travelers can still remember the days when framed pictures, advertisements and maps kept them company in their railway compartments in the days of steam. This is the first book on the railway carriage print and is written by the leading authority on the subject, Greg Norden. It describes how railway companies first portrayed themselves though scenic photographs and advertisements and carries the story through to the height of the genre in the mid-20th century, when the railway publicity departments moved into colour reproduction and commissioned some of the leading watercolour artists of the day, including Rowland Hilder, Jack Merriott and Charles Knight, to paint scenes from all around Britain. From the mid-1930s to the late-1960s, trains virtually became travelling art galleries, and it is this period which forms the centrepiece for the book. Using many of the beautiful prints from his personal collection, Greg Norden takes us on a nostalgic tour of Britain in the mid-20th century, before modern town planning and the motor car had exerted their baneful influence on the landscape. Dividing the subject geographically, he covers six regions featuring a variety of scenes. He dwells on such forgotten pleasures as railway outing to the seaside and devotes a chapter to the artist and another to the collecting of carriage prints today. With this well-researched, often humorous narrative, biographies of the artists and comprehensive print listings, this book will appeal to railway enthusists and historians, art and antique collectors and anyone interested in pictures of a lost landscape during the era of steam.

Download or read book N by E written by Rockwell Kent and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic tale of seafaring, shipwreck, and survival, reprinted from Wesleyan University Press's 1978 facsimile of the original. When artist, illustrator, writer, and adventurer Rockwell Kent first published N by E in a limited edition in 1930, his account of a voyage on a 33-foot cutter from New York Harbor to the rugged shores of Greenland quickly became a collectors' item. Little wonder, for readers are immediately drawn to Kent's vivid descriptions of the experience; we share "the feeling of wind and wet and cold, of lifting seas and steep descents, of rolling over as the wind gusts hit," and the sound "of wind in the shrouds, of hard spray flung on a drum-tight canvas, of rushing water at the scuppers, of the gale shearing a tormented sea." When the ship sinks in a storm-swept fjord within 50 miles of its destination, the story turns to the stranding and subsequent rescue of the three-man crew, salvage of the vessel, and life among native Greenlanders. Magnificently illustrated by Kent's wood-block prints and narrated in his poetic and highly entertaining style, this tale of the perils of killer nor'easters, treacherous icebergs, and impenetrable fog—and the joys of sperm whales breaching or dawn unmasking a longed-for landfall—is a rare treat for old salts and landlubbers alike.

Book Synopsis Reimag(in)ing the Victorians in Contemporary Art by : Isobel Elstob
Download or read book Reimag(in)ing the Victorians in Contemporary Art written by Isobel Elstob and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From contemporary deployments of taxidermy, magic lanterns and microscopy to the visualization of forgotten lives, marginalized narratives and colonial histories, this book explores how the work of artists including Mat Collishaw, Yinka Shonibare, Tessa Farmer, Mark Dion, Dorothy Cross and Ingrid Pollard reimag(in)es the Victorians in the ‘present’. Examining how recent paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations and films revisit and re-present nineteenth-century technologies, practices and events, the book’s rich interdisciplinary approach applies literary, media and linguistic theories to its analysis of visual art, alongside in-depth discussions of the Victorian inventions, concepts and narratives that they invoke. The book’s emphasis on how – and why – we represent the historical past makes its contribution particularly timely. And by drawing attention to the importance of historiography to the work of these artists, it also unravels the complicated history of History itself. This book will speak to diverse audiences including those interested in art history, visual culture, Victorian and neo-Victorian studies, as well as literature, histories of science and media, postcolonialism, museology, gender studies, postmodernism and the history of ideas.
