Stanley Spencer, English artist, by Kenneth Pople

Hugh Kenner, A Sinking Island. Stanley's creative impulse For most artists the creative impulse remains indefinable and the mental processes by which it becomes a picture mysterious. In the evolution of a painting the whirl of ideas surfacing from an artist's subconscious becomes integrated into an entity (defined here as a percept, concept, idea or emotion to which the thinker mentally imparts form) which is almost inexpressible in words, so much so that some artists - Bonnard or Klimt, for example - refused to divulge the inner life which prompted their art. The resulting entities, made visual as pictures, may appear to viewers intriguing, even inspirational, inviting a wish to share the artist's thinking behind his painting. But to love fully is to understand fully, 'understanding' in this sense having no need of explanation. Hokusai: 36 Views of Mount Fuji. Freer & Sackler Galleries. Welcome to Claude Monet's.

Paul de Lamerie

The Victoria and Albert Museum describes him as the "greatest silversmith working in England in the 18th century".[1] Though his mark raises the market value of silver, his output was large and not all his pieces are outstanding. The volume of work bearing de Lamerie's mark makes it almost certain that he subcontracted orders to other London silversmiths before applying his own mark. Early and private life[edit] De Lamerie was born in 's-Hertogenbosch in the United Provinces (now the Netherlands).

He was the son of a minor French nobleman, Paul Souchay de la Merie, a Huguenot who left France following the Edict of Fontainebleau in 1685. He married Louisa Juliott on 11 February 1717. Paul de Lamerie died in London and was buried at St Anne's Church, Soho. Career[edit] In August 1703, de Lamerie became the apprentice to a London goldsmith of Huguenot origin, Pierre Platel (1659–1739). Lawsuit[edit] Gallery[edit] Arcimboldo Giuseppe.
