• W3148584562 abstract "The Art of Thomas Bewick. By DIANA DONALD. London: Reaktion Books. 2013.327 pp. £40.Thomas Bewick has often seemed to be cursed with the same attitude, from both admirers and detractors, as John Clare. The two men are often seen as being 'simple'; sometimes simpleminded, but certainly men whose work is open and accessible, devoid of subtlety and complication. They have tended to be viewed as artists who may have been technically gifted, but with the qualification that this was something they were born with rather than the product of long dedication to their chosen craft; their work is looked on as a straightforward response to their surroundings rather than the result of conscious artistry.Happily, for Bewick at least, things have changed rapidly of late, with much scholarship which has provided a broader and more intelligent view of the man and his work. In 2003 the Bewick Society celebrated the 250th anniversary of Thomas Bewick's birth by publishing a volume of Bewick Studies in association with the British Library and Oak Knoll Press. One of the contributors to this volume, Nigel Tattersfield, then produced a biographical dictionary of bookplates from the workshop of Ralph Beilby, Thomas Bewick and Robert Bewick, followed by a volume devoted to John Bewick. In 2011 he published a magnificent three-volume work entitled Thomas Bewick: The Complete Illustrative Work which, as well as giving full details of Bewick's illustrations, contains much valuable information on Bewick and his workshop. Another notable milestone came with the publication of Jenny Uglow's engaging biography, Nature's Engraver, reviewed here in 2007.In 2009 the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham curated an exhibition of Bewick's vignettes, which subsequently travelled to the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle and to the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston. As well as displaying the vignettes, which have always been such a popular feature of Bewick's British Birds and his History of Quadrupeds, this exhibition featured a short film by the eminent Bewick scholar Iain Bain showing how a wood block was made and, most valuably, just what was involved in printing from such a block. The exhibition catalogue, entitled Thomas Bewick: Tale-Pieces, reproduced the vignettes together with three essays by Jenny Uglow, Nigel Tattersfield, and a typically stimulating and perceptive piece by the late and much-lamented Tom Lubbock.Following on from all this activity we now have a wonderful book by Diana Donald entitled The Art of Thomas Bewick. Perhaps the first thing to be said about the book is that it is beautifully produced and a joy to use. At a time when so many tawdry books are issued, at far higher prices than is asked for this one, this is worthy of note. Printed on high-quality paper, copiously illustrated, wellwritten, properly edited and stoutly bound, the book reflects great credit on its author and on Reaktion Books. Professor Donald is an art historian whose earlier work includes Endless Forms: Charles Darwin, Natural Science and the Visual Arts and Pictur- ing Animals in Britain, 1750-1850. She is therefore well placed to comment on someone like Bewick, whose work spans the arts and sciences. As the title of the book suggests, this is an attempt to treat Bewick as an artist, the first time this has been tried. …" @default.
