A world without cars would be unrecognizable. They have altered the shape of our cities, transformed our nations and landscapes, revolutionized the way we make and buy things, and profoundly influenced our relationship with speed itself.

Cars: Accelerating the Modern World Brendan Cormier and Elizabeth Bisley, eds NEW: October £30 Flexibound ISBN 9781851779673

Presenting the car as the driving force that accelerated the twentieth century, this book considers topics such as the Ford Model T and the legacy of mass production; the GM LaSalle and the birth of style and obsolescence; the original Volkswagen and the expression of national identity; the GM Firebird and the desire for frictionless movement. It takes an in-depth look at the history of the automobile and its impact, to better understand where we might want to go in the future.

FAST FUTURES

Highland Park process: raw materials were brought into the lowest level of the five-storey building, and the car was constructed and assembled as it moved up to the top. In a particularly thrilling twist on Ford’s spectacle of assembly, finished cars drove – like magic – out of the factory and straight onto a test track on the Lingotto roof.

Alongside the eager adoption of Ford’s processes by industry, the company’s mass-production system also had a wider ideological influence. Throughout the 1920s and ’30s the principle of standardized mass production – deeply embedded in the figure of Ford – came to be identified as one of the chief building blocks in the creation of a new world. One direct example of this can be found in a 1924 letter to Henry Ford from the former President of the Republic of China, Dr Sun Yat-sen. Stating that he was ‘of the view that China may be the cause of the next World War if she remains economically undeveloped’, Sun saw the establishment of Ford factories in China as a way of avoiding this fate.²⁰

BRENDAN CORMIER

Throughout the twentieth century the car figured prominently in the imagery of science fiction. To look through these images is to understand how we have collectively fantasized about the future of mobility for more than 100 years. One common motif across all these images is that technology – primarily in the form of a car – will bring us a new way of getting around: one that is fast, frictionless and free, without a traffic jam in sight. From steampunk fantasies to afrofuturism, Hollywood blockbusters to concept-car extravaganzas, speed has figured at the heart of our mobile dreams.

Expressing a similar belief in the power of standardized production to enact social and political reform, Ford’s methods were also championed in Soviet Russia as part of post-revolutionary plans for a socialist, industrialized society. Under Stalin’s first Five-Year Plan, an agreement was reached with the Ford Motor Company in 1928 to build a factory (designed by Albert Kahn) for the construction of Fordson tractors.²¹ In 1929 the Soviet Union signed another agreement to build an assembly plant for the Ford Model A. Delegations of engineers and factory workers travelled to Stalingrad to help with the start of operations, training the Soviets in the processes of assembly-line production. The Nizhni Novgorod plant, intended as a Soviet Detroit, began full production of the Model A in 1932, using equipment shipped from River Rouge.²²

The Lives of the Objects Tristram Hunt, ed.

NEW: October £25.00 HB ISBN 9781851779727 225 × 185 mm, 256 pp 180 illustrations BIC: AGC HISTORY ISBN 978-1-85177-972-7

In this intriguing insight into the work and history of a museum, V&A director and historian Dr Tristram Hunt brings together ten renowned V&A curators to tell the stories behind ten of their most treasured objects. ‘Tipu’s Tiger’ (an almost life-size wooden semiautomaton mauling a European soldier), the ‘Great Bed of Ware’ (an Elizabethan bed for 8 people) and a Shakespeare First Folio are among the featured highlights whose route to the V&A collections are entertainingly revealed.

Through these stories, this insightful history of museum curation – a world of careful study and sometimes remarkable fortuity – shows how the priorities of a museum are shaped and change over time.

The objects in the V&A all have unique stories behind their making – but how they came to be part of the museum is a fascinating aspect of their history. Some were acquired soon after completion, others have had a more convoluted journey to the museum, but these histories combine to tell us something of their reputation, and of their impact.

This book brings together 10 highlight objects from the V&A to explore how the museum’s collection has formed – both through careful curation and fortuitous opportunism. It shows where the museum has come from, and where our priorities lie.

In 1931 the Museum acquired what was then its largest and most expensive piece of furniture for £4060 (approximately £250,000 today). John Charles Robinson, the Museum’s first curator would have been astonished, had he been alive. When the ‘so called Great bed of Ware’ came up for sale in 1865, he dismissed it as misdated and ‘a coarse and mutilated specimen of its kind and I therefore do not think that it would from any point of view be a suitable acquisition for the Museum...’

Its purchase in 1931, dependent on the National Arts Collection Fund which funded 50% of its price, was presented as a national triumph, but in private, viewed with ambivalence.

‘You will have a moment of quiet delight and a mood of introspection to carry you away.’ Edmund de Waal

Japanese Netsuke Julia Hutt with foreword by Edmund de Waal

Prized by collectors from East to West, Japanese netsuke are tiny objects of wonder that originated as utilitarian accessories for traditional Japanese dress. Over the centuries these small carved toggles, designed to hook over the top of the kimono sash, evolved into high-fashion depictions of all aspects of Japanese life.

Another, subtler concept of movement is frequently conveyed in netsuke decoration.

This relies on first grasping one’s attention and then devising the means to lead one’s gaze all around the netsuke and back to the starting point. This may be achieved in a variety of different ways, one of the simplest using the device of a long and sinuous tail (of a tiger, for example), twisting round the animal’s body (Plate 52). Other netsuke use carefully planned components to draw the eye first in one direction, usually to the extremities, before another element takes over, diverting attention to another part. In this way, the unwitting viewer is lured into scrutinizing the netsuke from all angles. This is often exemplified by an animal’s head leading in one direction, counterbalanced by its tail drawing off in another. The interaction between two or more people engaged in a fight was yet another method used to convey dramatic movement. By careful positioning of the head, limbs and clothing, for example, the netsuke of Taira no Tadamori mistakenly attacking the oil thief successfully conveys the impression of both action and force (Plate 53).

As inro- and netsuke rapidly grew in popularity from around the mid-eighteenth century onwards, becoming items of high fashion, they also underwent a fundamental change in the nature of their decoration, and their clientele sought examples of an increasingly interesting and inventive nature. One method of achieving this was to expand the small and restricted size of the netsuke by incorporating unlikely, unusual or hidden elements as an integral part of the overall composition, at the same time often exploiting the unexpected. This is well illustrated by the netsuke of oniyarai at New Year, with Okame throwing beans from a container while, unknown to her, an oni can be seen hiding under the skirt of her kimono, taking cover from the beans (Plate 50).

The story of Do-jo-ji (‘The Do-jo- Temple’), with its interpretation of vengeful, female jealousy, presents netsukeshi with unique possibilities for hidden and surprise elements. The story in its various versions stems from a tenth-century legend, which subsequently formed the basis of No- and Kabuki plays. According to the story, Kiyohime, the beautiful young daughter of an innkeeper, fell in love with a priest, Anchin, who scorned her persistent advances. Furious, she was transformed first into a witch, then a dragon.

When Anchin took refuge underneath the great bronze bell of the temple, she used her magical powers to force the bell to crash to the ground, trapping Anchin inside.

he greatest appeal of netsuke undoubtedly lies in their subject-matter, in conjunction with the suitability of the materials chosen for them. Netsuke portray an extremely wide range of subjects, reflecting not only the real or imaginary world, but also the many facets of daily life in Japan. Rather than discussing the myriad subjects of netsuke in detail, however, I have instead presented these in broad categories and discussed their salient features, with particular reference to items in the collection of the V&A. The main inspiration for netsuke subjects was undoubtedly the natural world, most frequently animals, birds, sea creatures (Plate 37) and insects, both real and imaginary, and of course, people. These were depicted in numerous compositional groupings, individually, as pairs, mother and young or as a larger assemblage, either on their own or with some reference to their natural habitat or the human world. Certain combinations often reflect conventions of Japanese art, such as the tiger and bamboo (Plate 38), which feature particularly in paintings from the late sixteenth century onwards. Coinciding with the increasingly realistic portrayal of netsuke subjects that began in the mid-eighteenth century, an interest in surface texture became apparent, such as the fur of an animal or the plumage of a bird. This was also seen in the deliberate depiction of different, highly textured surfaces, such as the unlikely combination of a toad on a straw sandal

V&A Fashion Perspectives E-books

Janey: An Autobiography Janey Ironside NEW: October £6.99* EB ISBN 9781851779574 BIC: BGFA FASHION & TEXTILES Derided by the establishment for declaring Mick Jagger ‘stylish’, Janey Ironside’s career in the fashion industry was inseparable from her identity. As Professor of Fashion Design at the Royal College of Art from 1956 to 1968, she played a role in the 1960s revolution that turned Britain’s rag trade into a high-turnover, mass-market industry targeting a new generation of cash-rich youth. Working behind the scenes, she trained a cohort of bright young things, including Ossie Clark, Bill Gibb, Zandra Rhodes, Sally Tuffin and Marion Foale.

Ironside’s autobiography begins with a vivid account of her colonial Indian childhood, followed by working life in WWII Britain, the beginnings of a small couture business and her appointment as Professor of Fashion Design.

Heads and Tales Aage Thaarup in collaboration with Dora Shackell NEW: October £6.99* EB ISBN 9781851779178 BIC: BGFA FASHION & TEXTILES Thaarup left his job in a Copenhagen department store in his teens to conquer the world. By the late 1930s, he had a shop in London and was milliner to the royal family.

Revealed to the world by Cecil Beaton, his famous customers included Wallis Simpson, Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich – but the pinnacle of his career came with the creation of the tricorn hat worn by the Queen annually between 1953 and 1986 at the Trooping the Colour ceremony. Declared insolvent at least twice, Thaarup’s obituary in The Times noted that ‘He was not hardened by fame or fortune. He wore a cheerful disposition and a bow-tie always at a ten-tofour angle’.
