Originally published in 1937, this book was created to provide a survey of the conditions and artistic value of design in British industries. Through interviews with manufacturers, managers of department stores and shops, principals and teachers of art schools, commercial designers, artists, and architects, principally in the Midlands area, a composite portrait is developed. This portrait emphasises the interaction of seemingly disparate elements in the production of quality design, and shows the complexity of the process whilst remaining concise and accessible. The text is also well presented, containing a large number of illustrative examples. This is a fascinating volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of British design.
It is often thought that for Yeats ideas were simply pegs on which to hang poetry: philosophers supplied him with images or attitudes, but he was basically a dilettante. Snukal takes Yeats' most ambitious philosophical poems, and situates them in the British romantic tradition inaugurated by Coleridge's and Wordworth's theories of the imagination, and the European philosophical tradition of idealism inaugurated by Kant and Hegel. Both traditions are concerned with the nature of reality, our mode of perceiving it, and the relationship between perception, thought, action, language and artistic form. They are also concerned with the individuals' freedom of will in the historical process, so that ethical considerations are involved as well as aesthetic ones. Yeats' preoccupations are thus profoundly serious, and lead naturally to a mode of expression in which the poet finds symbols and myths which express the individuals' perceptions and his situation in the world.
Examines the life and artistic process of the artist, looking at his works in the context of the historical and cultural ferment of pre- and post- Reformation Europe.
The emergence of a new theory of literature in the German Romantic period constituted a decisive turning point in the history of criticism. Prepared by new trends in critical thought during the latter half of the eighteenth century, a view of the literary work and the artistic process developed which diverged sharply from the dominant classicist understanding of aesthetics and poetics. It recognised the infinite changeability of genres, their constant mingling, and the frequent emergence of new literary forms, and asserted the rights of genius and creative imagination. It was also characterised by its intimate connection with the prevailing philosophy of its time, transcendental idealism. Professor Behler provides a new account of this crucial movement, illustrating each theoretical topic with close reference to a characteristic work by a major writer of the period.
Charting their training, travels, and performances, this innovative study explores the role of the artists that roamed the Chinese countryside in support of Mao's communist revolution. DeMare traces the development of Mao's 'cultural army' from its genesis in Red Army propaganda teams to its full development as a largely civilian force composed of amateur and professional drama troupes in the early years of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Drawing from memoirs, artistic handbooks, and rare archival sources, Mao's Cultural Army uncovers the arduous and complex process of creating revolutionary dramas that would appeal to China's all-important rural audiences. The Communists strived for a disciplined cultural army to promote party policies, but audiences often shunned modern and didactic shows, and instead clamoured for traditional works. DeMare illustrates how drama troupes, caught between the party and their audiences, did their best to resist the ever growing reach of the PRC sta
