Abstract:
Art historians tend to focus on the literary aspects of Hunt's paintings and little is said about their disconcerting appearance. This thesis explores Hunt's attitude to art-making and his artistic practice in order to investigate the relationship between the form of his work and its content. To this end, Hunt's written output is reevaluated. A distinction is made between public texts and private journals and letters. The latter display accelerating concerns about the artistic persona. A sense of religious doubt, weakness and mortality is answered by an alternative self-image which aspires to

Abstract:
The thesis treats the theatrical scenes and single figure portraits of actors and actresses en role by George Clint. The development of theatrical scene painting in England during the eighteenth century is traced from its antecedents in The Netherlands and France through to the arrival of Clint. There is a brief review of Clint's career to 1816 when he exhibited his first theatrical scene at the Royal Academy. To define the area in which Clint worked, a chapter explores the theatre of the time. His theatrical scenes are discussed for each of the three phases of his work which I have identified

This analysis explores the progression of my work over the past three years of study. My initial pursuits involved ideas that revolved around contemporary feminism, however, with time I expanded upon those ideas by exploring other subjects. I realized the connection in all of my work lies in the use of manipulated found imagery, and the desire to release this imagery from the confines of traditional pictorial space. With this discovery, I became free to utilize any manner of subjects, as the subject matter relied heavily on the finding and re-interpreting of these disparate images into t

As the endurance of Wright’s soubriquet ‘of Derby’ shows, the association between Wright and Derby is distinctive in its ongoing cultural resonance.

This thesis is, therefore, concerned not with arguing for the relationship between Wright and Derby but with attending to how it has been represented and claimed during the 19th-century.

Abstract:
David Allan's artistic career may be divided into two major periods. Having first attended the Foulis Academy, he spent at least a decade in Italy, finally returning to Scotland in 1779, his home for the next seventeen years. The pictures which he executed during this second period form the basis of the present study. Since the emphasis of this study is thematic rather than biographical, some distortion of chronology is inevitable, though it is not uncomfortably obvious. At the same time, some element of biography is indispensable. This is particuarly true of the first chapter, a necessary set

Abstract:
The image of George Romney presented in his early biographies is of a successful society portraitist by day but the creator of `sublime and infernal reveries' at night by candlelight. Today these passionate designs from literature are characterized as proto- Romantic but, paradoxically, they were created within the context of a disciplined renaissance-humanist tradition. Romney's amateur and professional literary friends supplied him with a profusion of potential subjects and produced eulogistic verses about the artist and his works, stressing his sensitivity, seclusion, humble origins and nat

Edward Penny (1714–1791) was the Royal Academy’s founding Professor of Painting and a frequent participant in the public art exhibitions that transformed London’s art world after 1760. Although Penny’s work has traditionally been dismissed as ‘tame’ and sentimental, recent scholarship now suggests that his mid-1760s exhibition paintings should be recognised as a highly significant attempt to apply the themes and concerns of historical art to accessible, contemporary subject matter. This thesis builds on these reinterpretations, but focuses on the still almost wholly neglected works from Penny’

With painting I find myself asking a lot of questions and finding very few answers, but I think it is a healthy and necessary process. This constant questioning parallels life outside of art for that reason. Life is full of unanswerable questions, and that is part of the reason why I make paintings. It is a strange way of accepting and dealing with the unknown. In this thesis I explain my relationship to the practice of painting. I reveal the actual processes I go through when making a painting, and investigate the content, or lack thereof, in my abstract paintings.

In modern Turkish history and art history too, the art of the war years has either been overlooked - buried in the images of the Independence War that followed - or distorted for ideological purposes - emphasizing the militaristic and pro-war aspects of wartime artworks and margin
