  • 1066 The Secrets of the Bayeux Tapestry - Short Promo

    Posted by admin on September 14th, 2009 and filed under bayeux | No Comments »

    We propose to produce a programme which will combine the genres of drama reconstruction, documentary and historical thriller, in two episodes of either 52 or 60 minutes each.

    Rather than adopting the customary route of dramatising key scenes, we will craft archive-footage of the times. By creating vital scenes with great care we can ensure they are historically accurate along with believable camera angles, reconstruction of locations as they were and dramatic witness accounts. After all, the Tapestry itself was a primitive way of executing this before modern technology was available.

    We plan to shoot for HDTV using two techniques in parallel: re-enacting scenes of the tapestry that are open to new discoveries and inserting the point of view of historians and academics from the UK, France, Denmark, Canada and the USA.

    Comments are brief and concise. We will make sure that their commentaries will not encroach upon the magical combination of images and dramatic actions. Talking heads will be avoided. The narrator will link the scenes and give concise information of new findings, lifting the visuals and not leading them.

    The viewer will be kept in suspense. The underlying idea is to investigate mysteries that have been largely ignored and, drawing on the latest research, propose answers which suggest that many pre-conceived ideas should be overturned.

    Our ambition is to awaken new interest and revive the splendour of the mysterious and fascinating Middle Ages. We will bring alive the intrigue using the most enigmatic scenes of the “Bayeux Tapestry” in a lavish, and above all, entertaining production.

    Josephine Wall (born 1947 in Farnham, Surrey) is a popular English fantasy artist and sculptor.

    Educated at Farnham and Parkstone (Dorset) grammar schools, she studied fine art at Bournemouth College and worked at Poole Pottery as a designer and painter of Delphis Ware. Her pottery figures include characters from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and mythological creatures. Pieces of this work now feature in a book on the history of Poole Pottery.

    Her paintings are mainly influenced and inspired by Arthur Rackham, with lesser influences from surrealist artists such as Magritte and DalĂ­, and the romanticism of the pre-Raphaelites.

    A number of her works were exhibited in Teheran and Tokyo during 1974 and her first solo exhibition took place the following year in Swindon. Josephine and her paintings were the subject of a special feature on Southern Television in 1990. Following a visit to the Spring Fair in Birmingham in 1993 she signed contracts with firms in Britain and Switzerland to publish her work as prints, posters and cards for worldwide distribution. Her originals and limited edition prints by are often sold through Courtenay’s Fine Art. In 1996 a licensing agreement with a company in Los Angeles, California, USA led to many new outlets including cards, stationery, puzzles, journals, bookplates, mugs, needlepoint kits and posters, as well as limited edition prints.

    In 1998 five original works were selected for an exhibition at London’s Mall Gallery entitled Art of the Imagination. Josephine has subsequently joined the circle of artists in the society of the same name.

    Since then her works have been selected for exhibitions at New York Art Expo and have been the subject of a book The Fantasy World of Josephine Wall, jointly published by the artist and Courtyard of Romance. Pop singer Britney Spears has used a number of Josephine’s images on her website. Britney also purchased a number of Limited Edition prints and Josephine is working on an original painting for her.

    In 2008, Sunbeams Initiatives, Inc., Jacksonville, FLorida was chosen as Josephine’s Official International Marketing Group and “One Stop Shop” source for all of her art. This includes retail and wholesale sales of original paintings, prints, games, greeting cards, books and other quality products which carry her name. The company is headed by Dr. Patricia Sager as it’s President and CEO. Dr. Sager personally handles much of Ms. Wall’s personal appearances and event planning worldwide.

    Tapestry in the Baroque: Threads of Splendor - Curatorial Talk - Part 1 of 3

    Posted by admin on August 27th, 2009 and filed under tapestrys | No Comments »

    Learn more about the exhibition: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/tapestry/threads_splendor_more.asp

    From the Middle Ages until the late eighteenth century, the courts of Europe lavished vast resources on tapestries made of precious materials after designs by the leading artists of the day. This international loan exhibition, conceived as a sequel to “Tapestry in the Renaissance: Art and Magnificence” (spring 2002), is the first comprehensive survey of high-quality seventeenth-century European tapestry. Drawing from collections in more than fifteen countries, it presents some forty rare tapestries made in Brussels, Delft, Florence, London, Munich, Paris, and Rome between 1590 and 1720, along with approximately twenty-five drawings, engravings, and oil sketches. The exhibition investigates the stylistic and technical development of this prestigious figurative medium and explores the contributions of artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, Simon Vouet, Charles Le Brun, Pietro da Cortona, and Giovanni Romanelli, as they responded to the challenges of the medium in unique and spectacular ways.

    Curatorial Talk to staff given by Thomas Campbell, curator, European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
