AHRC CDP Studentship - Augustus John: Reassessing the Collections at Museum Wales and National Library of Wales
https://www.bristol.ac.uk/arts/study/postgraduate/funding/
The University of Bristol, Prifysgol Aberystwyth University, Amgueddfa Cymru—Museum Wales and Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru—National Library of Wales are pleased to announce the availability of a fully-funded Collaborative Doctoral Studentship from October 2024 under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) Scheme.
The project will be jointly supervised by Grace Brockington (Associate Professor of the History of Art at the University of Bristol), Nicholas Thornton (Head of Modern and Contemporary Art at Museum Wales), Nia Daniel (Head of Archives at the National Library of Wales) and Samuel Raybone (Lecturer in Art History at Aberystwyth University).
The Welsh artist Augustus John (1878–1961) was a leading figure in British and European modernist movements. This studentship will critically re-evaluate him as a figure of his time and expand the discussion about his significance today. John built his reputation on representing marginalised groups, and recent scholarship has critiqued his patriarchal masculinity, appropriation of Gypsy, Roma, Traveller culture, and exoticizing attitude towards Jamaican people of colour. However, his efforts to learn both English and Welsh dialects of the Romani language suggest genuine interest; and his Jamaica portraits convey ‘the heart, warmth and soul of the characters’ (Morgan 2022). The studentship presents a unique opportunity to confront these issues, bringing new material to bear on debates that are critical to revisionist histories of modernisms and changing perceptions of John.
Location: Department of History of Art at University of Bristol, Prifysgol Aberystwyth University, Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales and Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru - National Library of Wales
Eligibility: Home and Overseas students
Start date: September 2024

Efrydiaeth CDP AHRC - Augustus John: Ailasesu Casgliadau Amgueddfa Cymru a Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru

Mae Prifysgol Bryste, Prifysgol Aberystwyth, Amgueddfa Cymru a Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru yn falch o gyhoeddi bod Ysgoloriaeth Ddoethurol Gydweithredol wedi’i hariannu’n llawn ar gael o Hydref 2024 o dan Gynllun Partneriaeth Doethurol Gydweithredol (CDP) yr AHRC. .
Bydd y prosiect yn cael ei oruchwylio ar y cyd gan Grace Brockington (Athro Cyswllt Hanes Celf ym Mhrifysgol Bryste), Nicholas Thornton (Pennaeth Celf Fodern a Chyfoes yn Amgueddfa Cymru), Nia Daniel (Pennaeth Archifau yn Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru ) a Samuel Raybone (Darlithydd Hanes Celf ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth).
Roedd yr arlunydd Cymreig Augustus John (1878–1961) yn ffigwr blaenllaw mewn mudiadau modernaidd Prydeinig ac Ewropeaidd. Bydd yr efrydiaeth hon yn ei ail-werthuso’n feirniadol fel ffigwr ei gyfnod ac yn ehangu’r drafodaeth am ei arwyddocâd heddiw. Adeiladodd John ei enw da ar gynrychioli grwpiau ymylol, ac mae ysgolheictod diweddar wedi beirniadu ei wrywdod patriarchaidd, ei feddiant o ddiwylliant Sipsiwn, Roma, Teithwyr, ac agwedd egsotig tuag at bobl o liw Jamaica. Fodd bynnag, mae ei ymdrechion i ddysgu tafodieithoedd Saesneg a Chymraeg yr iaith Romani yn awgrymu diddordeb gwirioneddol; ac mae ei bortreadau yn Jamaica yn cyfleu ‘calon, cynhesrwydd ac enaid y cymeriadau’ (Morgan 2022). Mae’r efrydiaeth yn gyfle unigryw i fynd i’r afael â’r materion hyn, gan ddod â deunydd newydd i’w ddefnyddio ar ddadleuon sy’n hollbwysig i hanes adolygol o foderniaeth a chanfyddiadau newidiol o Ioan.
