Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... for its higher branches had completely decayed. Towards the end of the 18th century, the efforts of Mengs succeeded by those of the French painter David, both aiming at a return to a dead classicism, a revival of Grecian forms, with which the age could have no intimate sympathy, led to nothing better than the style of the Napoleon era; which, except as marking an historical epoch, is utterly contemptible. In the meantime, Reynolds, in England, had once more made a direct appeal to nature, from which, notwithstanding the mannerism he adopted in carrying it out, European art may date its second revival; for, although the painting of the French "romantic" school, who have superseded the frigid Grecianisms of David and his followers, cannot be termed imitators of the initiative given by Reynolds, they were yet, chronologically speaking, his followers. Reynolds's attempt was considered absurd by the artists in vogue at the time; and Ellis, the fashionable portrait painter of the day, is reported to have attempted to drive him from his new course, by exclaiming "Shakspeare in poetry, Sir, and Kneller in painting!" a juxta-position which Reynolds was, however, not willing to allow. Immediately following Reynolds were portrait painters, such as Opie and others, who followed his style; but the frigid compositions of West, for whose works the really great genius of Barry was neglected, were in vogue at the same time, and though Northcote promised better things, the taste for the chilly monotonous works of Westall, Howard, and others, prevailed. It may easily be conceived how unsettled was the public taste in England at the close of the 18th, and beginning of the 19th centuries, when we find the eccentric productions of Fuseli, ...

"Artwriting, Nation, and Cosmopolitanism in Britain " by MarkA. Cheetham Pdf
Arguing in favour of renewed critical attention to the 'nation' as a category in art history, this study examines the intertwining of art theory, national identity and art production in Britain from the early eighteenth century to the present day. The book provides the first sustained account of artwriting in the British context over the full extent of its development and includes new analyses of such central figures as Hogarth, Reynolds, Gilpin, Ruskin, Roger Fry, Herbert Read, Art & Language, Peter Fuller and Rasheed Araeen. Mark A. Cheetham also explores how the 'Englishing' of art theory-which came about despite the longstanding occlusion of the intellectual and theoretical in British culture-did not take place or have effects exclusively in Britain. Theory has always travelled with art and vice versa. Using the frequently resurgent discourse of cosmopolitanism as a frame for his discourse, Cheetham asks whether English traditions of artwriting have been judged inappropriately according to imported criteria of what theory is and does. This book demonstrates that artwriting in the English tradition has not been sufficiently studied, and that 'English Art Theory' is not an oxymoron. Such concerns resonate today beyond academe and the art world in the many heated discussions of resurgent Englishness.
