The
2012 William Morris Society Fellowship was awarded to Leslie Harwood, a MA
candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Art History and Museum
Studies. The award will help fund the installation of Ms. Harwood’s thesis
exhibition entitled “William Morris’ Earthly
Paradise: Precursor to the Private Press Movement”
at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Art History Gallery, opening 8 March
2012. The award will also be applied towards
the printing of a thesis exhibition catalog offered to all of the visitors of
the gallery free of charge. The catalogs, as well as the exhibition itself,
will educate the UW-Milwaukee community and the greater public about William
Morris’s profound impact on the Kelmscott Press and the press’s greater
influence on the history of the Private Press Movement. For more information on
the exhibition, see additional blog postings.
The 2012 Joseph R. Dunlap Memorial
Fellowship was awarded to Kyle Stoneman, a PhD candidate at Churchill College,
Cambridge. Mr. Stoneman will be investigating the artistic contributions of Evelyn
Waugh, including his art criticism, illustrations, photography, and woodcuts,
and how this work embraces
William Morris’s theories. Waugh’s criticism of modern
society’s social and aesthetic standards all resonate with the philosophy of
the Arts and Crafts Movement.
