Mining various archives and newspaper repositories, Elizabeth
Robins Pennell, Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism
provides the first full-length study of a remarkable woman and
heretofore neglected art critic. Pennell, a prolific 'New Art
Critic', helped formulate and develop formalist methodology in
Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, which she applied to
her mostly anonymous or pseudonymous reviews published in numerous
American and British newspapers and periodicals between 1883 and
1923. A bibliography of her art criticism is included as an
appendix. In addition to advocating an advanced way in which to
view art, Pennell used her platform to promote the work of 'new'
artists, including Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas, which had only
recently been introduced to British audiences. In particular,
Pennell championed the work of James McNeill Whistler for whom she,
along with her husband, the artist Joseph Pennell, wrote a
biography. Examination of her contributions to the late Victorian
art world also highlights the pivotal role of criticism in the
production and consumption of art in general, a point which is
often ignored.
