The ‘Leeds Lake District’: Water Supply,Rural Environment,and the Cultural Landscape in Victorian and Edwardian Britain

ABSTRACT

This article highlights the benefits of cultural readings of the environment by showing how the reservoirs of the Washburn Valley, built by the Leeds Corporation between 1869 and 1879 and vital sources of potable water for the urban population, altered the area’s cultural landscape. An examination of Leeds-based newspapers and locally published guidebooks will show how the reservoirs positively affected Romantic depictions of the area, whilst the use of the phrase ‘the Leeds Lake District’ fabricated a sense of civic pride between the town and its hinterland, an area positively affected by the implementation of urban engineering.

渐江绘画艺术形式对安徽建筑景观设计的启迪

渐江曾生活于现今的安徽地域,对安徽的人文风貌在其画作中描绘了许多。渐江的绘画画风笔墨严谨、格调简约,对描绘的自然景物高度概括,虽然用墨偏淡,但不显虚空。画面形式具有现代设计学的韵味,构图独特。这种当时的新视觉形式,不仅影响了中国的山水画,而且也给安徽建筑景观设计在形式和意境方面带来了影响和启示。

Technical analysis of a Central Asian wall painting detached from a Buddhist cave temple on the northern Silk Road

A great number of Central Asian wall paintings, archeological materials, architectural fragments, and textiles, as well as painting fragments on silk and paper, make up the so called Turfan Collection at the Asian Art Museum in Berlin. The largest part of the collection comes from the Kucha region, a very important cultural center in the third to ninth centuries. Between 1902 and 1914, four German expeditions traveled along the northern Silk Road. During these expeditions, wall paintings were detached from their original settings in Buddhist cave complexes. This paper reports a technical study of a wall painting, existing in eight fragments, from the Buddhist cave no. 40 (Ritterhöhle). Its original painted surface is soot blackened and largely illegible. Grünwedel, leader of the first and third expeditions, described the almost complete destruction of the rediscovered temple complex and evidence of fire damage. The aim of this case study is to identify the materials used for the wall paintings. Furthermore, soot deposits as well as materials from conservation interventions were of interest. Non-invasive analyses were preferred but a limited number of samples were taken to provide more precise information on the painting technique. By employing optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Raman spectroscopy, a layer sequence of earthen render, a ground layer made of gypsum, and a paint layer containing a variety of inorganic pigments were identified.

黄宾虹山水画的笔墨价值

黄宾虹从笔墨中找到中国画发展创新的途径 ,穷其一生研究用笔用墨的方法规律 ,然而他透过笔墨的表面现象 ,看到了“笔墨精神”及笔墨精神所表达的自然生命节律与神韵之内美 ,这只是黄宾虹笔墨价值所昭示的一个方面。他绘画的全部内涵通过作品本身的笔墨建构来实现。它不靠诗文题跋的想象与补充 ,画就是画本身笔墨之间的种种构成关系 ,也就是从自然中悟得的种种感觉与内美。将绘画还原给“视觉器官”回归到艺术本体 ,可谓在董其昌之后对绘画本体的开拓作了又一次总结 ,从而将传统文人画推进到一个可与现代审美要求相衔接的新阶段 ,这对开启未来绘画创新有着重要意义。黄宾虹的笔墨价值还在于它在东方文化背景上不期然地与西方文化取得了某种“交汇” ,使中国绘画在自身演进中与西方现代绘画形成某种暗合 ,与西方抽象绘画有异曲同工之妙
