Descrizione libro Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. Few Art Gallery Directors could rival the verve and versatility of T. J. Honeyman. His fifteen years in charge of the Glasgow Art Galleries which form the main substance of this book witnessed the acquisition of the Dali Crucifixion and the cleaning of the famous Giorgione. Both of these decisions were at the time widely attacked: both have subsequently been yet more widely praised. The variety of his background enriches this book as it enriched the author's directorship, with a freshness of eye and an approchableness that enables him to turn from the pros and cons of picture cleaning to the question of popular taste and the need for curators to find about it; from collections and collectors to the price of paintings; from the public need for beauty and imagination to the low value generally placed on these qualities by local government officials. The author writes of all these themes with the pungency, raciness and good humour of a true son of Glasgow. Seasoned with excellent stories and vivid sketches of people, the book has all the warm-heartedness and vitality of his native city. Illustrated. Previous owners initial to inside cover. Slight wear and tear to D/J.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Seasoned with excellent stories and vivid sketches of people, the book has all the warm-heatedness and vitality of his native city." (Publisher) "Dr. Thomas J. Honeyman (1891 1971) was the director of the Glasgow Art Gallery. Born in Glasgow, the son of engine driver Thomas Honeyman (1858 1934) and Elspeth Smith (1860 1937), Tom Honeyman studied medicine at Glasgow prior to service in the trenches during the First World War. He practised medicine in the East End of Glasgow, before moving to London to become an art dealer. In London he met many great artists and when the Glasgow Corporation were looking for a new Director for their Kelvingrove Art Gallery they consulted Honeyman who eventually decided he might like the job. Taking up the post in 1939, he went on to make an enormous contribution to artistic and cultural life of Glasgow during his 15 years in the post. He greatly increased the profile of the Glasgow Art Galleries through clever publicity and successful exhibitions which, for example, brought queues to see Van Gogh's paintings. His art purchases were prudent and wise, buying works which have subsequently gained enormously in value. In 1952, Honeyman became famous for his purchase of Salvador Dalí's Christ of St. John of the Cross. A controversial purchase at the time, both because of its exceptional cost (£8,200) and contemporary style, it hung for many years in the Kelvingrove where it still hangs. It is one of the jewels of the city's art collection and has proven commercially remunerative, with displays and reproduction fees covering the original cost several times over. His reputation was such that he was able to attract several major gifts to the gallery, including that of Sir William Burrell (1861 1958) in 1944. Yet, Honeyman was forced to leave his post in 1954 having lost the support of his political master, the new chairman of the Glasgow Corporation Art Committee. Passionate about the cultural life of Glasgow, Honeyman, with assistance from James Bridie, also founded the Glasgow Citizen's Theatre. He was also involved in setting up the Scottish Tourist Board. Honeyman wrote an autobiographical book, largely memoirs of his time as Director of the Art Gallery, called Art and Audacity (Collins, 1971)." (Wikipedia) Sprache: english. Codice articolo 78252AB
