The Question of Attribution An exceptional feature of a Charles Vyse figure, and one that strikes the viewer immediately, is his modelling of his subjects’ faces. No matter their age, sex or the category of subject, there is the familiar, a similarity of the high cheek bones and the innate humanity that shines through. However, to the serious collector, an artist’s signature and the date of execution are exceedingly important pointers when authenticating an artefact. However, the artist signature may change or is sometimes indiscernible on the artwork in question. Charles Vyse is known to have changed his signature over the course of his long career as a potter, and only occasionally dated his figures in the 1930s. In 1928, Charles and Nell Vyse held their first joint exhibition at Walker’s Galleries, London. The Vyses appointed Ernest Marsh to write the catalogue notes, and record all their new figures. These were published annually in the art magazine Walker’s Monthly. In 1930, John L Naimaster took on the task of writing the exhibition notes and cataloguing the new …show more content…
Desmond Eyles, Richard Dennis and Louise Irvine, the authors of Royal Doulton Figures (revised 1987), had unparalleled access to the figure archive of Doulton’s Burslem factory. The figures of Leslie Harradine are meticulously catalogued along with those of other Doulton modellers. However, one cannot always rely on the evidence of a figure’s back stamp, or even its HN number. Just as the small studio pottery, so is large scale figure production subject to human error. Occasional a genuine Royal Doulton figure comes to light, minus its official back-stamp. Others have been known to bear an HN number, quite unrelated to its designated colour-way. These anomalies, which appear to have escaped the Doulton rigid inspection regime, are often acquired by collectors for their curiosity
However, the result of the Vyses concentration expended on the production of the stoneware vessels and attendant ash-glazes culminated in the re-working of the figure group Morning Ride. Even so, it is difficult to understand the reasoning why Vyse found it expedient to remodel this figure rather than devising an additional composition, and Marsh, in his Walker’s article, does not mention it. Indeed, this present model is occasionally mistaken for the 1925 original (Fig. 62). Furthermore, the 1929 model should not be viewed as a previous model bearing a similar title. In sculptural terms, this edition is a pointed up version of the original. Doubtless, Vyse expended much the same industry in the as he had done when modelling the smaller 1925 version. The present version, thought by collectors to be the suitable of the two, and possibly justification for the time
Towards the close of 1951, the artists working in Cheyne Row were asked to vacate their studios, the owners, in wanting to utilise all the buildings on the site. Harry Parr conceded that at the age of seventy, it was time to retire from modelling and sculptural work in general. When the time came for Parr to clear his studio during the last week of January 1952, Malcolm Parr, at home on leave from the Cameroons was there to lend a hand, recalling, It was one of those awful grey days, when my younger sister Bridget, and I helped Pa to smash all the plaster piece-moulds, he’d zealously kept over the years to make his beautiful earthenware figures. When we begged without much hope, that he should save some of them, he defended his act
The view from Victorians concerning the artwork was that they were obtained from” brutal and unruly savages from Benin” (The Times, 25th September 1897, p12) but it was also thought that the quality and workmanship of the pieces was exceptional.

Charles William Ferdinand is a hero because he was the only one who was able to keep germany together and keep civilization alive. Ferdinand saved Germany from its “Dark Ages”. Charles William Ferdinand was a great military strategist who had led the Prussian armies to great victories. He was known to be the duke of Brunswick and he was a field marshal in the 7 years war between Germany and France (“Charles William Ferdinand”). Ferdinand was born in 1735 in Wolfenbüttel as the son Charles I of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Philippina Charlotte, who were nobles at that time (“Charles William Ferdinand”).
Who would have thought of killing innocent girls just to have possession of their eyes? There are many different reasons as to why someone would do such a crime. Many people do not wake up one day and think “today I want to become a serial killer”. Charles childhood was one of the biggest influences on his everyday living. When he was a child growing up, he was in an unstable household and was living an unhappy life everyday which is what factors into how he becomes so rebellious. Charles Albright is a perfect example of this. He grew up in a household in which he did not enjoy. Charles was always trying to escape and be on his own. Being stuck with his mother for 18 years is what primarily took a toll on his actions later in life. Like Charles,
Along with three other Potteries born artists, Charles Vyse received an invitation to exhibit his work at Stoke-on-Trent’s Hanley Museum, June 1953. Other artists exhibiting, were Dora Billington (1890-1968), Reginald Tomlinson (1885-1978) and John Adams (1882-1953), all of whom had studied at the Hanley School of Art. Vyse, for reasons undisclosed, did not attend the formal opening of the exhibition. However to mark the occasion he is quoted as having said, ‘I much prefer doing the work, rather than talking about it.’ As previously noted, before the onset of WWII, Nell Vyse had developed a number of remarkable
This article argues that the physical appearance not only matters, it is important to our everyday life. It states that we uses some of the physical characteristics, especially facial appearance, to identify certain types of people. It is a survival skill in the case of recognizing criminals ,children, and peers. This is a scholarly research on facial appearance. I can use this to a one of the major point to support my thesis.

The world of art is plagued by forgeries. In the case of some artists, such as Vermeer, there are often nearly as many fakes out there as there are genuine pieces. The infamous forger Han van Meegeren was known to have made at least 11 forged Vermeer’s that were accepted as genuine until his arrest in the 1940’s (Wynne, 257). Wolfgang Beltracchi made millions selling pieces that his wife claimed to have inherited from an uncle, telling brokers, art historians, and museums that the pieces were rare works, previously unseen. In actuality, Beltracchi was using modern techniques to make paintings in the style of 20th century masters (Birkenstock, Beltracchi). These are genuine criminals, no different than people who scam the elderly via email or
The Rev. Charles F. Beauvais (1937-1944) succeeded Father Coloumbe. Father Beauvais, later Monsignor Beauvais, oversaw the new church in Point-aux-Chênes and completion of the interior of St. Joseph at Little Caillou. The Rev. Maurice Gubler served as assistant from 1942-1943. As Beauvais reported on his WWI Draft Registration card, he was born August 16, 1895 at Lafourche Crossing, Lafourche Parish.
Though within today’s modern society the idea of printmaking in the subject of art has slightly changed its uniqueness due to advancements in printing technology, the originality and rarity of a talented printmaker is no longer as easy to find as it was at one point in time. Printmaking has evolved greatly since its era of major popularity in 1500’s- 1700’s also known as early modern society. Though the sheer skill and craftsmanship that goes into a handmade print or reproduction is harder to come by in todays society, the impact the ability to multiply images was hugely significant on early modern societies, essentially changing the way art is perceived today.
This would be a good opportunity for me to learn about the different fields I can specialize in to consider which path to follow. Humanity vs. Perfection: A Study of Two Sonnets “Loving someone with your heart and loving someone with your mind are two very different kinds of love.” -bgt correlates to how the speakers of Sonnet 18 and 130 describe their mistresses (the one they love or at least hold in high regard). Sonnet 18 uses the sonnet to describe his mistress’s beauty on a superficial level and to at the end of the sonnet, reassure himself and others that his sonnet will be preserved throughout time without being forgotten nor destroyed. He immortalizes both his sonnet and the mistress’s beauty he speaks of.
In America, drug addiction is everywhere. In fact, according to CBS News, more than one in three Americans used opioid painkillers in 2015 alone (Thompson, “1 in 3 Americans Prescribed Opioids”). This number is startlingly high, especially considering the fact that America is in the midst of a heroin epidemic. There have been many proposals on how to lower and treat drug addiction, such as having pharmaceutical companies stop offering monetary incentives for doctors to write prescriptions or jailing non-violent repeat offenders, but sadly nothing has been created and integrated in a way that makes it conducive to those suffering from addiction rather than focusing only on putting the minds of other civilians at ease. In order to treat drug addiction effectively, America must come together as a nation with compassion and empathy, allowing those who are addicted to seek help and safety rather than judgement and harsh treatment. Too often do people look only at the addiction, rather than the larger issue at play- the fact that we refuse to treat sufferers of drug addictions as real human beings who deserve a chance at rehabilitation. Because of this, I believe that drug addiction should be treated as a physical illness through means of comprehensive care, compassion, and rehabilitation programs. If we treat addiction as the serious issue it is, we can help to reduce and possibly even eliminate drug addiction.
