Period of Publication: 1888-1891

 

Period covered by AHR net: Volumes 1-6, 1888-1890

 

Type of Publication: Journal

 

Description: Founded and compiled by the German art dealer S. (Siegfied) Bing (1838-1905) Artistic Japan was published simultaneously in English, German [Japanischer Formenschatz] and French [Le Japon Artistique].  Bing’s declared aim in producing the journal was to “stimuler l’intérêt des amateurs”and “exercer une influence sur le goût, la culture, l’art et la constitution des collections publiques et privées” (stimulate the interest of amateurs and to influence the taste, culture, art and formation of public and private collections) in the art of Japan. One of the publication’s chief sponsors was the fashionable London retail firm Liberty & Co. who had a full-page colour advertisement for their art fabrics on the back page of every issue of the English edition. The journal contains a series of illustrated essays on architecture, engraving, Hokusai’s “Man-gwa”, the decoration of swords, Ritsuo and his School, netsukés and okimonos, the theatre in Japan, Hiroshigé, the poetic tradition in Japanese art, Animals in Japanese art, and Korin. Among contributors to Artistic Japan were Edmond de Goncourt, Roger Marx, Victor Champier, and Eugène Guillaume. The editor of the English edition was Marcus B. Huish (1843-1921).

Title: Les Arts

 

Place of Publication: Paris, France France

 

Publisher: Goupil & Cie, monthly

 

Frequency: Monthly

 

Period of Publication: 1902-1920

 

Period covered by AHR net: Volumes 1-15, 1902-1919

 

Type of Publication: Journal

 

Description: Les Arts. Revue Mensuelle des Musées, Collections Expositions, Published monthly by Goupil & Cie. (publication was suspended between Oct. 1914 and March 1916 inclusive). The editors and co-proprietors of Les Arts were Michel Manzi (1902-1914) and Maurice Joyant (1916-1922). The journal covered the fine and decorative arts, both early and modern, and contained long well-illustrated articles, including an annual report on the Paris Salons. Les Arts was, however, rather conservative and contained little on the avant-garde movements active in Paris during years of its publication. This possibly reflected the taste of its editors, who were art dealers, collectors and co-owners of Galerie Manzi-Joyant, a fine art gallery and publishing house in Paris. Manzi was an friend of Edgar Degar who painted him in c.1889, and Joyant was a close friend of Toulouse-Lautrec and organised retrospectives of his work in 1902, 1907 and 1914.

Title: The Century Guild Hobby Horse

 

Place of Publication: London, England England

 

Publisher: Chiswick Press, etc.

 

Frequency: Quarterly

 

Period of Publication: 1884-1892

 

Type of Publication: Journal

 

Description: The official journal of the Century Guild of Artists. Founded by the architect and designer Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo (1851-1942), the Guild was one of the earliest Arts and Crafts groups in Britain. The magazine contained essays on art, literature, and occasionally architecture and music. The principle contributors included Mackmurdo, Selwyn Image (the author of numerous articles), Arthur Galton, May Morris, Herbert P. Horne, Christina Rossetti, and Hubert Parry. The Hobby Horse was much admired by William Morris. By fusing art and literature in a magazine whose layout and design was a conscious aesthetic statement, it was precursor of pioneering Modernist magazines such as The Savoy, The Yellow Book and The Dome. See: Imogen Hart. ‘The Arts and Crafts Movement’ The Century Guild Hobby Horse (1884-94), The Evergreen (1895-7), and The Acorn (1905-6) in The Oxford Critical and Cultural History of Modernist Magazines. Volume 1: Britain and Ireland 1880-1955, edited by Peter Brooker and Andrew Thacker. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009 pp.120-141

The journal focused exclusively on contemporary decorative and applied art, particularly furniture, interior design, ceramics, glass, jewelry, metalwork and textiles. It played a significant role in promoting the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements in Germany.  In its early years, coverage was international, however, after, c.1910 the journal concentrated more on the German and Austrian art. Notable among contributors to Dekorative Kunst were the art dealer S. (Siegfied) Bing (1838-1905), and the writer/designers Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) and Hermann Muthesius (1861-1927).    Among the numerous artists and designers whose work featured in the journal were Peter Behrens, Richard Riemerschmid, C.R. Ashbee, M.H. Baillie Scott, C.F.A. Voysey, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Gustav Klimt. Dekorative Kunst included long reports on the work of the Wiener Werkstätte and members of the Deutscher Werkbund, and on international exhibitions, particularly the Paris Exposition of 1900, the Esposizione Internationale d’Arte Decorativa Moderna in Turin in 1902, and the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition in St. Louis in 1904.

Title: The Journal of Decorative Art

 

Place of Publication: London; Manchester England

 

Publisher: Simpkins, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co.; The Decorative Arts Journal Co., Ltd. [etc.]

Period of Publication: 1881-1949

 

Period covered by AHR net: Volumes 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 19, 23 & 27

 

Type of Publication: Journal

 

Description: The Journal of Decorative Art was the official organ of the National Association of Master House Painters of England and Wales. It was published monthly and contains detailed national and regional reports on current technical and design trends in the decorative arts, particularly furniture and surface decoration, together with trade news and reports. Possibly because it was a trade journal with a limited circulation, The Journal of Decorative Art is extremely scarce. It is an invaluable source for research on late Victorian and early twentieth century British decorative art from an industry perspective.

Period of Publication: 1885-1917

 

Period covered by AHR net: Volumes 1-28, 1890-1917

 

Type of Publication: Journal

 

Description: Kunstgewerbeblatt was a decorative arts journal published in two series - vols.1-5, 1885-1889; and vols. 1-28, 1890-1917.  The focus of the first series, which was printed in the Gothic script, was primarily early and traditional German art. From the second series, the journal was printed in modern German script and the focus shifted to contemporary art, particularly Art Nouveau, and the German interpretation of the Arts and Crafts style. The journal includes well-illustrated articles on ceramics, glass, jewellery, furniture, metalwork, and surface decoration and, to a lesser extent, architecture. The editors of Kunstgewerbeblatt were: Arthur Pabst (October 1885-September 1894); Karl Hoffacker (October 1894-September 1905); and Fritz Hellwag (June 1908-September 1917)
