Tracey Emin is one of the best- known current British artists. Her art is essentially autobiographical. The major aim of the present essay is to analyze Emin's artist work and to study her artistic references. To fulfill this goal, biographic references, linked to her artistic work, are mentioned and her topics, obsessions, procedures, and techniqu...

... birds pervade all her artistic work, as an antidote for her sex-loaded works. Her series of monotypes, Bird Drawings (2001), is full of a delicate (and, apparently, unusual) lyricism ( Figure 6). Asked by Carl Freedman what attracts her to birds, Emin answered: "From a personal point of view, when I've been lonely I watch birds and I feel them and it's been comforting. ...

For over a century, Hubert Parry's hymn 'Jerusalem', taken from Blake's stanzas that preface his epic poem Milton, has been a defining factor in the reception of Blake's work. This article concentrates on the influence of the Blake-Parry hymn on arts and culture since the turn of 2000, concentrating on events such as the 2012 London Olympics, its various invocations as part of the EU Referendum, and visual responses to the Blake-Parry hymn as part of the 2016 exhibition 'And Did Those Feet?' at Roundhay, Leeds.

Tracey Emin is the right choice for professor of drawing at the Royal Academy. At last, after centuries of getting it wrong, the institution that William Blake saw as a conspiracy against true art has got something right.

In the 18th century, the Royal Academy crushed the hopes of ambitious artists like James Barry, who wanted to raise the game of British art with a more imaginative direction, and enshrined the role of art as aristocratic decor and portraiture - provoking Blake's wrath.

In the 19th century it championed the pedantries of Victorian painting and helped exclude the impressionist revolution from these shores, holding us up on the road to modern art.

In the 20th century it maintained that exclusion of the new. Its famous president, the sporting painter Alfred Munnings, proposed to horsewhip Picasso.

Finally, in this century, it has done something intelligent. Emin is an excellent choice as drawing professor. So is Fiona Rae for the professorship of painting. Both are technically accomplished and genuinely interested in the media they profess. Rae is less of a celebrity but her many-layered abstractions are fascinating, intelligent works of art. She should have got a Turner prize years ago.

So should Emin, for that matter, though missing her Turner moment hasn't held her back any. Fame is like smoke, it gets in your eyes. A lot of people can't forgive Emin her glamour. But the evidence of her talent is there, on paper. Her drawings are the Real Thing. If you dismiss them you are foolhardy. She is an expressionist whose jagged angry line communicates feeling every time. Surely this is true art in drawing - to convey emotion through the texture of a line. Emin is a very pure artist in this very pure sense. She can draw a line that says everything she wants or needs to say. None of her gestures in other media say more than those rough, rapid scrawled lines. Emin is an outstanding draughtswoman - let's hope she can pass on her gift to students.

What I'm working on is disfigurement of buildings, creatures and surroundings. Pigeons were at 1st a lone subject idea, but as I was thinking I have adjusted my ifea to city wildlife as it'll allow me more pieces to work on. Vibe and emotion to give me freedom to create a piece that inspires me and allows me to infuse my work with my enjoyment or feelings towards the piece. (E.g. sunny scene- happy, night scene- peaceful but uncanny, otherwise welcoming depending on the work itself, etc.)
Crowded but alone gives me a vague topic to work with, that I can interpret in my own creative way.
People of the concrete jungle let's me do portraits of people in my city who are interesting in their own ways that has allowed them to grow and friv in the city. Whether they're outwardly interesting or not, perhaps even their normal daily activities are interesting.

Marcel Broodthaers (Belgian, 1924-1976) worked primarily as a poet until the age of 40, when he turned to the visual arts. Over the next 12 years, his work retained a poetic quality and a sense of humor that balanced its conceptual framework; for his first solo exhibition, he encased unsold copies of his latest poetry book, Pense-Bête (Memory aid, 1964), in plaster, turning them into a sculpture. Broodthaers continued to invent ways to give material form to language while working across mediums-poetry, sculpture, painting, artist's books, printmaking, and film. From 1968 to 1972, he operated the Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles (Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles), a traveling museum dedicated not to his work as an artist but to the role of the institution itself and the function of art in society. In the final years of his life, Broodthaers created immersive "décors," large-scale displays in which examples of his past work were often unified with objects borrowed for the occasion. This exhibition-the first Broodthaers retrospective organized in New York-will reunite key works from all aspects of his art making to underscore the complex trajectory of his career, which despite its brief duration proved enormously influential to future generations of artists.

The exhibition will travel to Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Madrid, in October 2016, and to the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (KNW), Düsseldorf, in early 2017.

This Artist Draws Famous Londoners As Pigeons
What's the most Londony of animals - a jellied eel? A Crack fox? How about the good old common columbidae (that's pigeon to you and me)?
Birds in Hats illustrator Alice Tams likes to depict famous Londoners as pigeons - from nature-loving David Attenborough, to be-plumed suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.

"I've always had a soft spot for the much-maligned feral Pigeon," says Tams. "I had a solo exhibition coming up at We Built This City on Carnaby Street in 2019 and I couldn't think of a better bird to represent London's famous folk!

"I think pigeons are brimming with personality and London wouldn't be the same without them."

And who's Tams' personal favourite?

"A very tricky one but if I had to choose it would be David Bowie. I think, initially, I imagined him as an elaborate bird of paradise or macaw but he was famously down to earth when not in Ziggy Stardust attire so painting him as a pigeon in his best threads ended up working perfectly.

"I also think there are plenty of pigeons swaggering around London that have a rockstar vibe to them."

Tams has even created a map, linking up the pigeons to the London area they're associated with:

Not done and definitely needs a few adjustments when finishing the dress. Will be thinking of adding pigeon and victoria era cut outs to this canvas.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like the front was too plan, so I'm thinking of adding pigeon cutouts to the front. I did want to try out some embroidery on the front but I don't think I could do that in such short notice. I also added the beaded string to help add a bit more colour to the dress and bring attention back to the dress itself- away from the ruffles. May remove it and add more pigeons instead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Who knew gauze had so many layers? I didn't!

# data[].attributes.body
I was thinking about using some lace I found but I thought it didn't fit the theme of reusable bits and bobs making up the body of the pigeon in the dress. I found some gauze, and turns out it's folded in on itself. So I unwrapped it and got a nice thin netting going on at the back now. I filed the top to give it some pleats. I really like it. I want to shape the bottom out though to the ruffles are still the main attraction.

# data[].attributes.body
I folded the longg ends of the gauze in on itself to make a neat 'hem'. I'm adding more and more news paper to the ruffles so give it more volume and to cover the rest of the blue on this end of the dress. So far I'm happy with the progress.

# data[].attributes.body
As it says in the title, the dress is half done in this picture. This helped me see how it fell on an actual body and how others saw it from the back. I personally love how the ruffles look here.

# data[].attributes.body
I first thought about sewing in real pigeon feathers into the back of the dress. I decided against this when I found out how hard it is to sew through each nib of the feather. The amount needed was beyond my ability to collect.
I opted to collect feathers and attach them to the ruffles. This is to enthasize the fact that the ruffles represent a tail of a pigeon.

# data[].attributes.body
I found an alley way that I thought looked amazing in the setting sun's shine. I can imagine someone more elegant than myself in the pigeon dress when it's complete, standing in the gap between the bushes. It's such a nice scene.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked how this building looked, and I thought it matched my theme on the dress. I would say it's a shame that the wires and poles are in the way but I think that completes the look as pigeons may be elegant in my mind, but really they're just city life just getting by with what they can find.

# data[].attributes.body
I really love this chandelier and I thought it was really classy- perfectly fits the victorian theme.

# data[].attributes.body
These mushrooms look like the ruffles on my pigeon dress. I love it, and I love that algae is coating the tops to give it a green coating. It's beautiful.

Colourful pigeons hidden around the gallery 

# data[].attributes.body
Liverpool trip- there was an art gallery that had multicoloured pigeons hidden all around. I loved this. Not super relevant, but it's pigeons and it's art. Most importantly- I love it.

# data[].attributes.body
An odd mix of old and new buildings. I do like that they kept a paved road though- tarmac would ruin the look.
Fun fact= tarmac was invented in the last year of the victorian era

# data[].attributes.body
I really do think I do well for my 1st time sewing a hem. One of my teachers later taught me how to do a blanket stitch. I'm sticking to what I've already one though as I don't want it to be too mismatching, and I'm not redoing that side again.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
This pigeon kept trying to lay an egg on the edge of a harbour.

# data[].attributes.body
She seemed a little tired, I was worried she was going to just lay an egg right there. I never knew if she did or flew away in time. But she's an adorable red pigeon. I love how her tail is grey but the rest of her body is red.

I actually asked him to pose. He didn't disappoint.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the eye on this seagull. I didn't think it'd look over or react but I called for it to pose for me. It gave me the perfect angle to snap this picture of its eye. Either someone is drawing on eyeliner on seagulls or this seagull is just too unbelievably cute. If I could do eyes I would love to copy its 'eye liner'.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a sketch of a pigeon in just pencil, I used cross hatching to help show points of iridescence on the neck and shadows on the body. I like how the iridescent feather ended up looking like after I added some colours.

My son took the photo- so proud. He takes better pictures than me!

In this picture I was working at home, sewing a hem into the gauze along the zipper at the back of the dress.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
My little helper took the photo here. I was sewing.

# data[].attributes.body
Here in this picture I just unzipped the dress and was adding a hem along the zipper and aligning the fabric perfectly so it wouldn't jam the zipper when I fasten it back up.

# data[].attributes.body
Finally all pinned and ready to show. After that I just need to sew everything on fully. I can't wait to sleep. This dress has been the bain of my life today. I attached more news paper ruffles to the skirt as well as tape feathers to a few odd bits of the ruffles. I'm happy with how it looks.

# data[].attributes.body
Feather and ruffle mix. Very nice

# data[].attributes.body
Couldn't find paint so used news paper. I guess this makes it a near replica, huh? The feathers at the top were missed since I couldn't find paper that matched the shade properly. May paint that in later.

# data[].attributes.body
Two cute paper flowers sat at the waist line of the dress. I think it gives it a nice touch.

Cruella's dress helped encourage me to use more recycled materials and feel less pressure to get classical used fabrics. As shown in this picture news paper can be modeled to look stunning, and I wanted to use this in my own work.

In my pigeon dress, walking over a broken crate. I think this works as it shows the struggle and effort pigeons make even in their day to day life, rhey live in rubbish and have to work around it.

Just sat down in some forgotten rubble. I liked how the sticks made it look as if I was sat on a nest. Pigeons make terrible nests.

This picture was inspired by messenger pigeons during both world wars. Some were amazing fliers but with all the risks and dangers during this time some were late to deliver. This is what I was aiming to show here.

Pigeons die in the oddest way. They lay down if they can, some spread their wings in one last display and others lay messily in whatever they can. I wanted to use the grass to help bring focus onto me and the dress.
