Title: The American Art Review
Place of Publication: Boston, Massachusetts [etc.] USA
Publisher: D. Estes and C. E. Lauriat
Frequency: Monthly
Period of Publication: 1879-1881
Period covered by AHR net: Volume 2, 1880-1881
Type of Publication: Journal
Description: The American Art Review was founded and edited by Sylvester Rosa Koehler (1837-1900). Born in Leipzig, Germany, he emigrated with his family to the USA in 1849. He subsequently became Technical Manager of the lithograph publisher Louis Prang and Company, and the first curator of prints at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In his introduction to volume 1 of The American Art Review (1879), Koehler proclaimed that his aim in establishing the journal was to create a periodical that would “occupy a position analogous to that held by the “celebrated” European publications Gazette des Beaux Arts, L’Art’, the Portfolio, and the Zeitschrift für bildende Kunst. Although The American Art Review was to survive for only two years, largely as a result of its lavish production costs, it is generally acknowledged today as a primary catalyst in fostering the art of etching in America. Notable among the artists who were commissioned to produce original etchings for the journal were Otto Bacher, J. M. Falconer Thomas and Peter Moran, Henry Farrer, Samuel Coleman, Anna Lea Merritt, Robert Swain Gifford, Alfred Brennan, James D. Smillie, John Foxcroft Cole, and Marcel Gaugengigl. Significant among the articles published by The American Art Review was were a ‘A History of Wood-Engraving in America’ by W.J. Linton; and ‘American Stained Glass’ by R. Riordan. |

Title: Art in Australia
Place of Publication: Sydney, Australia Australia
Publisher: Sydney Ure Smith, Bertram-Stevens, and C. L. Jones
Frequency: Two issues a year; from 1921 quarterly
Period of Publication: 1916-1940
Period covered by AHR net: Vols 1-3
Type of Publication: Journal
Description: Art in Australia was the first significant art journal to be published in Australia and is now very scarce. We have digitized the first ten years of the journal (1916-1925) in its entirety, including the advertisements. Each issue of the journal has approximately 100-pages, however, it was not paginated. The fact that it is so scarce and is not paginated, probably accounts for the fact that articles from this journal are seldom cited. In digitizing the journal, we have added pagination (assuming the title page to be page 1). As with all the journals digitized by AHR net, we have added biographical information on all the artists whose work is discussed or illustrated in Art in Australia, giving the full name and gender of the artist, together with a supplementary bibliography and Internet links. |

Period of Publication: 1902-1906
Period covered by AHR net: Volumes 1-5, 1902-1906, plus two special issues, 1908
Type of Publication: Journal
Description: The Art Workers' Quarterly, subtitled, A Portfolio of Practical Designs for Decorative and Applied Arts, was published in five volumes by Chapman & Hall, London, between 1902 and 1906. The editor was W.G. Paulson Townsend, the author of several books and articles on the decorative arts. In his foreword to volume 1, no. 1, he wrote that the object of The Art Workers' Quarterly, was provide a source of inspiration for art workers and “to supply designs in a readily applicable form to those who do not invent, plan, or adapt ornament, and who find difficulty in obtaining good and suitable suggestions for their work. Further, it is his aim to assist those who may have some knowledge of the principles on which ornamental design is constructed, by publishing specimens of good work from the best historical and contemporary examples”. Like The Craftsman, launched the previous year in the USA, William Morris was the subject of the first article in The Art Workers’ Quarterly. Subsequent articles reported on the work and activities of the leading art schools including the Royal Academy Schools, Royal School of Art Needlework, the Royal College of Art, Central School of Arts and Crafts, Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, and Keswick School of Industrial Arts, and the principle craft organizations, guilds and societies such as the Church Crafts League, the Home Arts and Industries Association, the Dress Designers Exhibition Society, the Clarion Guild of Handicrafts, and the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. There were also articles on Lace Making in Ireland; the British Section at the St. Louis Exposition of 1904; the Impact of Modern Social and Economic Conditions on the Decorative Arts; the architecture of Letchworth Garden City, etc. These were interspersed with practical, well-illustrated articles on wood block printing, mural decoration, ornamental lettering, metalwork, embroidery, weaving, furniture, ceramics, stained glass, bookbinding, etc. Townsend was successful in attracting many of the leading commentators on the decorative arts to write pieces for The Art Workers’ Quarterly, including May Morris, Walter Crane, J. Illingworth Kay, Alexander Fisher, Lawrence Weaver, Bernard Rackham, Silvester Sparrow, Alfred Stevens, A. Romney Green, and James Guthrie. Among artists and designers whose work featured in The Art Workers’ Quarterly were some of the major figures in the English Arts and Crafts movement including Ambrose Heal Jr., Walter Crane, C.F.A. Voysey, Alexander Fisher, May Morris, R.A. Dawson. W.J. Neatby, Harold Stabler, Allan Vigers, W. Curtis Green, A. Romney Green. Heywood Sumner, Charles E. Dawson, Edward Spencer, Bernard Cuzner, Arthur Gaskin, Charles Spooner, C.R. Ashbee, Paul Woodroffe, Ernest Gimson, Mary Seton Fraser Tytler (Mrs G.F. Watts), Ernestine Mills and Sidney Barnsley An additional two special issues of The Art Workers’ Quarterly were published in August and December 1908. These contained the papers and extracts of papers read at the Third International Art Congress for the development of Drawing and Art Teaching and the Application to Industries held in London, August, 1908, as well as a record of the Retrospective Exhibition of Students’ Works, held at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, in connection with the Congress. Together with volumes 1-5 of The Art Workers’ Quarterly, these have also been digitized for ReVIEW. |

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. |

Description: The Craftsman played a seminal role in promoting the philosophy and ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. It was founded by the designer Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) and published by his workshop United Crafts in Eastwood, New York. The influence of the English craft aesthetic on the The Craftsman is evident in the fact that four of the five articles in the first issue of the journal were on the work of William Morris and Morris & Company, and the second issue was largely devoted to the writings of John Ruskin. Other articles in the first two years of the journal included ‘Revival of English Handicrafts: the Haslemere Industries’; ‘Cobden-Sanderson and the Doves Bindery’; and ‘Some Cornish Craftsmen’. It was only towards the end of the second year of The Craftsman that it began to turn its attention to the crafts in other countries, and particularly America. Later articles include ‘René Lalique: His Rank Among Contemporary Artists’; ‘L’Art Nouveau, Its Origin and Development’; ‘Rookwood Pottery’; ‘Workshops and Residence of M. René Lalique’; ‘L'Art Nouveau: An Argument and Defence’; ‘Korin and the Decorative Art of Japan’; ‘Japanese Book Illustrations’; ‘Craftsmanship in the New York Schools’; ‘The Influence of the "Mission Style" Upon the Civic and Domestic Architecture of Modern California’, ‘August Rodin’; ‘Mural Painting from the American Point of View’; 'Tiffany and Company, at the St. Louis Exposition’; ‘The Future of Ceramics in America’; ‘Rossetti and Botticelli: a Comparison of Ideals and Art’; ‘The Decorations of the Chancel of Saint Thomas' Church, New York City: Work of John La Farge and Augustus St. Gaudens; ‘The New Art in Photography: Work of Clarence H.

Title: Das Plakat
Place of Publication: Berlin Germany
Publisher: Verlag Max Chiliburger
Frequency: Quarterly; monthly
Period of Publication: 1910-1921
Period covered by AHR net: Volumes 1-12, 1910-1921
Type of Publication: Volume
Description: Das Plakat was launched in 1910 under the title Mitteilungen des Vereins der Plakatfreunde, and was the official publication of the Berlin-based Verein der Plakatfreunde, an association of poster collectors, dealers and designers, and others with an interest in the poster, founded by Hans Josef Sachs in 1905. The title changed to Das Plakat in January 1913. It started as a quarterly; became a bi-monthly in 1914; and a monthly in 1920. It ceased publication with the November-December 1921 issue. We have digitized all the issues, together with various special supplements. It is worth noting when using Das Plakat, that illustrations for some articles run on into the following article(s), which are may not be related. An example of this is ‘Schwedische Plakatkunst’ by Gregor Paulsson [an article on Swedish posters] in volume 8, nos.5-6, September-November 1917 pp. 233-241. The article contains 14 illustrations; a further 39 illustrations appear in the following article Das Plakat is generally considered to have been the most influential journal ever produced on the art of the poster. The founder and driving force behind the journal was Hans Josef Sachs (1881-1974), a Berlin dentist with a passionate interest in the poster. From about 1915 some of the minor articles are in the antiquated Gothic (Blackletter) script. We have given transliterations into modern German of the article titles and will provide transliterations of the whole articles at a later date We have added the dates and nationality of most of the designers whose work is illustrated. Further information about many of the designers is also given in the AHR net database Art + Architecture Profiles For the significance of Das Plakat, particularly its importance in the history of the poster, see the 2004 essay by Steven Heller ‘Graphic Design Magazines: Das Plakat’ https://www.typotheque.com/articles/graphic_design_magazines_das_plakat |

A complete file of The Poster is exceptionally rare, and because this journal has never been indexed, these articles are little known. In order to enhance the value of the digitization, we have classified the posters by subject and type. We have also added details of all the artists whose work is reproduced, giving their full name, dates, nationality, etc. In addition have added over 1,200 links to web sites containing biographical information on the artists and examples of their work. |

Type of Publication: Journal
Description: In their prospectus to Volume 1 (April 1894), the publishers and editors of The Yellow Book wrote that is was their aim to “depart as far as may be possible from the bad old traditions of periodical literature, and to provide an Illustrated Magazine which will be as beautiful as a piece of book-making, modern and distinguished in its letter-press and its pictures, and withal popular in the better sense of the world." The Yellow Book captured the zeitgeist of the 1890s and, despite its short life, was highly influential both in Britain and abroad. Artists who contributed to the magazine included Aubrey Beardsley [who designed the cover of the first issue], Philip Wilson Steer, Walter Sickert, John Singer Sargent, Walter Crane, Charles Conder and William Rothenstein. Notable among literary figures that wrote for The Yellow Book were Henry James, H.G. Wells, Arnold Bennett, W.B. Yates, Edmund Gosse and George Gissing. |
