Excerpt from A Biography of David Cox: With Remarks on His Works and Genius In the introduction prefixed to his work, Mr. William Hall, the Author of this Memoir of David Cox, has explained the motive which led him to undertake the task, and also the qualifications he possessed for executing it. Long and close intimacy with Cox, during the whole period of the artist's residence at Harborne, afforded his Biographer special opportunities of learning the history of his friend, of studying his works and his method, and of forming an estimate of his genius. It was not as a person uninstructed in Art, or as an amateur, that Mr. Hall entered upon the work. He was himself an artist of long experience and of no mean capacity - one, indeed, from whom David Cox did not disdain to receive suggestions as to the choice and treatment of his subjects, and hints as to the method of painting in oil colours. To his technical knowledge, Mr. Hall added the advantages derived from a large acquaintance with books and men, and these were enhanced by singular modesty of character, refinement of taste, and by a poetic temperament, united - a rare combination - with sound practical judgment.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIX. (aDDITIONAL--BY THE EDITOR.) Supplementary Notes--Cox's Great Contemporaries--Birmingham Friends-- Character and Habits--Engravings--Prices--Sales, Chronology, 4c. A Few notes are needed to supplement in some respects the Memoir of David Cox prepared by Mr. Hall. They are necessarily of a somewhat discursive character, as they merely aim at supplying omissions in the Memoir; but the writer hopes they will not be found wanting in usefulness and interest. The writer of the Memoir, it will be observed, makes no attempt to fix the place of Cox in relation to watercolour art, historically; nor does he enter upon any comparison of Cox with his more eminent contemporaries. Such an estimate, indeed, belongs to a history of Watercolour Art in this country; a work which would be of high value, if it were executed by some competent person, and would supply a deficiency which is now seriously felt. The only attempt to deal systematically with the subject is to be found in Mr. Samuel Redgrave's "Descriptive Catalogue of the Historical Collection of Watercolour Paintings in the South Kensington Museum;" but this work, though most interesting and useful so far as it extends, does not profess to enter upon a comparative critical examination of the English Water-colour School. The revival and development of this branch of ENGLISH WATER-COLOUR PAINTERS. 235 Art is due to the remarkable company of water-colour painters who were contemporary with Cox. The practical founder of the School, Thomas Girtin, was born in 1773, ten years before Cox. He was followed in 1774 by George Barret, and in 1775 by Turner, the great master of landscape art; John Varley was born in 1778; John Sell Cotman in 1782; Cox himself in 1783; Samuel Prout in the same...
