Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the leading figure in American cultural life of the nineteenth century. Born in Portland, Maine in 1807, he became a national literary figure by the 1850s, and famous personalities in the world at his death in 1882. He is a traveler, linguist, and a romantic who identified with the great tradition of European literature and thought. At the same time, he is rooted in American life and history, which charged his imagination with the theme of untested and ambitious to succeed him.

Four pages to track major developments in Longfellow’s life from his youth in Portland where he first showed literary talent, through the years learning languages in Europe and taught at Bowdoin College, to move to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he taught at Harvard, married Fanny Appleton, become a father, and wrote many of the most enduring poems, and finally be the year both as a poet-brother celebrity and grieving widower.

Information on the following pages largely taken from Longfellow: A Life rediscovered by Charles Calhoun and from an essay by Richard D’Abate, “Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: A Man of Letters” in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and His Portland Home. For more information about these and other sources, please refer to the bibliography.

It is reasonable to speculate that Ann Hall Longfellow miniature painted her in 1845 while looking Franquinet print, not a poet.

Figure awkwardly implies a tendency to idealize overextension: works from the print and not the subject of life, he was given as a poet of middle age overweight children.

Hall nonetheless important miniaturist of New England, was born in Pomfret, Connecticut, trained in Newport and New York City.

ivory small in relation to a broad range of fingerprint-based Franquinet shows two cultural phenomena. One, the popularity of Longfellow’s fast-growing, and, two, new print technology was treated demand for celebrity pictures.

PRUE GIBSON discusses four artists from a gallery in Darlinghurst which has whatever of the most serene accumulation spaces in Sydney.

Galore moneymaking galleries are led by spectacular, and occasionally disreputable, figureheads who create a proper art aesthetic for their room. Sometimes the room touch over the write of transmute shown is willful – after all, a strain ‘look’ can constitute a higher salience and honor. In additional circumstances, the touch is not voluntary but emerges, withal, because of the gallery director’s private discernment. Either way, the danger of influence is that artists’ play can, in pip circumstances, transmute normative.

When the remains of hundreds of colonial-era Africans were uncovered during a building excavation in Lower Manhattan in 1991, one coffin in particular stood out. Nailed into its wooden lid were iron tacks, 51 of which formed an enigmatic, heart-shaped design.

The pattern was soon identified as the sankofa — a symbol printed on funereal garments in West Africa — and it captured the imagination of scholars, preservationists and designers. Ultimately, it was embraced by many African-Americans as a remarkable example of the survival of African customs in the face of violent subjugation in early America.

The sankofa was widely invoked in 2003, when the 419 remains were reinterred at the site, now known as the African Burial Ground, following painstaking examination. It was chiseled into a black granite memorial unveiled in 2007. It is featured in an interpretive display in the federal building at 290 Broadway (the construction of which led to the discovery of the graves), which describes it as a direct link to “cultures found in Ghana and the Ivory Coast.” And it serves as a logo for the African Burial Ground as a whole.

Michael A. Gomez, a professor of history at New York University and an authority on the African diaspora, said the design’s apparent link to 18th-century Africa “is of enormous meaning and carries a lot of symbolic weight.” For decades, historians and anthropologists have debated the extent to which the continent’s cultural practices endured and came to influence art, language, music and religion in the Americas — a question with particular resonance for the African-American community.

JEREMY ECCLES charts a celebratory course to taste art in the Yarra Valley.

TarraWarra Museum of Art

Healesville

Tuesday to Sunday, 11am–5pm

TarraWarra Museum of Art (TWMA) is extolled by its director, the legendary Maudie Palmer, as “the first significant museum in the country funded by private individuals”. This, of course, is in contradistinction to those who have built fine collections and donated them to public galleries — the Smorgons to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, for instance, and John Kaldor to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In the near future, we’ll see David Walsh’s Museum of Old and New Art outside Hobart and Judith Neilson’s Contemporary Chinese collection at a newly completed artspace in inner Sydney’s Chippendale.
