Cultural Philanthropy and the Invention of the Norwich School.
- Authors
Hemingway, Andrew
- Abstract
The article discusses the evolution of the category of the Norwich School of Painting as a discursive construct. It states that the term "Norwich School" refers to a group of artists who lived and worked in Norwich for all or part of their careers in the years c. 1800-1880. It mentions that the Norwich School concept in its modern form did not exist in the early nineteenth century, although the term itself was used as early as 1816 in a letter by John Crome. It notes that the main field of discourse in which Norwich School first acquired currency was the local press. According to the article, Norwich was said to have the first school of design on the model of the Royal Academy to be established in Great Britain outside London, England.
