Published by -National Portrait Gallery Publications 29 Oct - (2004)
Quantity available: 1
From: Paul Brown (Ramsgate, United Kingdom)
About this Item: -National Portrait Gallery Publications 29 Oct -, 2004. Exhibition catalogue. 280x240mm 176 pages. Illustrated. Softback. Fine. As one of the great portrait painters of the nineteenth century, George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) is best known for his 'Hall of Fame' series showing the noted contemporaries of his day. This series forms the cornerstone of the National Portrait Gallery's collection in London, but the wider importance of Watts's portraiture has never been fully appreciated since many works are in private collections and some have never been published. Timed to coincide with the centenary of his death, this book is the first major study of this aspect of Watts's work and provides a unique opportunity to see many of the artist's grand full-lengths, often strikingly beautiful and most hardly known, as well as the wide range of his portraits, from society beauties to eminent Victorians, dating from the 1840s to the end of the century. Watts was one of the celebrities of Victorian London, counting Tennyson, Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelite artists and pioneer photographer Julia Margaret Cameron among his friends. Much interviewed and honoured, he fostered his own renown and participated in the creation of a considerable international reputation. Such a modern notion of the artist's public image is familiar to us today, but Watts forged this role for himself in the interest of promoting his serious and high-minded art, which crucially included his portraiture. This handsome catalogue illustrates and describes over sixty works by Watts, some seen for the first time. The Poet Laureate Andrew Motion gives a fascinating account of his experience of the artist's work in the introduction and Barbara Bryant's text offers a wider view, exploring Watts's entire career through his portraiture. The book presents new perspectives on Watts as an innovative artist aware of the traditions in portraiture yet also keenly alert to new artistic developments like Pre-raphaelitism and Symbolism. We are specialists in Catalogues: Exhibitions, Auctions, Collections, etc., with a picture of the cover available on request. All items are as described and dispatched within 36 hours in a secure package. We are professional booksellers with 30 years experience and a real-life bookshop. You may order with confidence.

About this Item: Partial, printed label on back reads: International Publishing Co., of London/H. Fowkes, Baltimore and Richmond. The Portfolio: a Series of Thirty Engravings. Plate 23.] [Part 8. Mounted engraving from a larger series. Undated, ca. 1880-1910 period., 1910. Size of (possibly trimmed down) mounting card: 12 7/8" x 18", size of mounted, thinner paper sheet, with the engraving: 10 1/8" x 14", size of steel-engraved image: 6 1/2" x 8 1/2". Features a J. Stephenson steel engraving of Watts' portrait of Tennyson. Edges & back of mounting sheet show a little, age-related tanning, light wear, tiny nick to thin paper margin, above image. Image is clean & suitable for framing. Scan shows the image. Contents of clipped, loose label that originally accompanied this sheet: "George Frederic Watts, R. A., an English artist of considerable eminence, has of late years devoted himself almost exclusively to portrait painting, although in the more ambitious subjects which formerly engaged his attention, his success was very encouraging. The date of the portrait of the British Poet-Laureate is not given, but it is certainly of recent origin, and was probably taken since 1871. Alfred Tennyson was born in 1810, and is consequently now about seventy years of age. In this, as in earlier portraits, a suspicion obtrudes itself that the poet has been getting himself up for the occasion. There is a conventional idea that poets should be negligent in their attire, and should allow their hair and beard to grow wild, as if the small details of personal neatness were beneath their attention. It would be absurd to charge Mr. Tennyson with seeking distinction by the paltry means of personal eccentricity; but it is not less true that in his portraits he seems to have assumed a very theatrical air of studied negligence. Apart from this, the face is a striking one. The features are somewhat rugged, but not irregular, and their outlines give promise of strength, which the high brow and thoughtful eyes appear to confirm. It is a face which would be likely to attract attention, and if the observer was at all curious, might lead him to speculate whether its possessor was in fact a king among men or only a clever actor.".
