Lost in Transmission? John Berger and the Origins of Ways of Seeing (1972)
The documentary series Ways of Seeing was broadcast on BBC television in January 1972. Directed by Mike Dibb and presented by the marxist critic John Berger, the series addressed the canon of western art history as well as contemporary consumer culture. The conspicuous use of cross-cutting and music along with Berger's emphatic 'talking-head' delivery were employed to dispel the aura enveloping 'original' artworks, and reveal the technologies by …

Making History
Edward Augustus Freeman (1823–92) was one of the founding fathers of the discipline of academic history in Britain, known to medievalists in particular on account of his multi-volume History of the Norman Conquest (1867–79).

Unable or unwilling to criticise Louis XV and George III directly, critics targeted ‘favourites’ and ‘ministerial despots’, accusing them of adopting unconstitutional measures in an attempt to regain lost financial and political credibility. Efforts to locate this travestied constitution, however, found notions of parliamentar…
Gladstone and Christian Art, 1832–1854
Although his activity as a private collector has been documented, the extent to which William Ewart Gladstone's interest in art was implicated in his thought on church and state has been overlooked. Previously unnoticed memoranda and correspondence of the 1830s and 1840s with the French art historian and Roman Catholic thinker, François Rio, demonstrate a fascination with religious painting of early Renaissance Italy, of the sort which only came …
