Excerpt from A History of Painting, Vol. 8 of 8: The Modern Genius We have seen him move from Hand Court, Maiden Lane, to 64. Harley Street. He seems to have bought the house; he soon also bought the next house to it, and one in Queen Anne Street, all of which abutted at the back, the corner-house on the two streets separating them in front. Now, in the catalogues of the Academy, his address in 1801, and for two or three years afterwards, is given as 75 Norton Street, Portland Road, thereafter being given as Harley Street again. Why this secrecy? Well, Turner began in 1801 to live with women of the servant class; in that year there came to him a girl of sixteen, Hannah Danby; she was soon his mistress. Whether he deliberately made a servant the companion of his life to be rid of acquaintances, or whether he repelled acquaintances and shirked hospitality in order not to have his weakness known, who shall tell 9 But he was soon steeped in that secret life that gave him solitude at the heavy price of associa tion with an uncultured woman that kept him an ignorant man, but perhaps made him walk thereby wholly in the realm of the imagination. The powder-tax of I79 5 ruined the trade of barbers of the old school and Turner took his father with him to Harley Street when he moved thereto in 1800, where the old man would strain his canvases and varnish his pictures for him; as Turner jestingly put it, Dad begins and finishes my pictures for me.

Excerpt from A History of Painting, Vol. 7 of 8: The British Genius Tbe earlier bistory of Britisb art is sadly lacking, and opens up a rare field for researcb of vast interest to tbe Englisb-speaking race. Tbe services of Sir George Scharf in tbe examination of old portraits cannot be exaggerated; and Mr. Lionel Cust bas done yeoman service in bis endeavours to persuade tbe beads of old Englisb families to record tbe portraits in tbeir possession. Tbe first books of con sequence in tbis realm witbin reacb of tbe student are Wheatley's Historical Portraits, tbc famous Lodge's Portraits, and tbe fine series of Oxford Portraits. Concerning miniatures tbe essays and books of Dr. Williamson are all excellent. Freeman o'donoghue's Catalogue of Portraits of Queen Elizabeth (1894) is valuable, as are tbe catalogues of tbe Glasgow Portraits by Heath Wilson in 1868 tbc Yorkshire Portraits at Leeds in 1869 tbe Royal Academy Winter Exhibitions from 1870 tbe Worcester display of 1882; tbe Grosvenor Gallery Winter Reynolds display of 1883-4, and tbe following 1884 - 5 Gains borough display tbereat; followed by tbe 1886 Millais sbow, tbe 1887 Van Dyck sbow, and tbc Century of British Art of 1888 and of 1889. But it was in 1889 tbat tbe catalogue of tbe superb House of Stuart display at tbe New Gallery started tbis valuable series of records, tbe House of Tudor following in 1 890, tbe House of Guelph in 1891, and Victorian Portraits in 1892. Of 1894. Were tbe two fine displays of Fair Women, and of 1895 tbe Old Scottish Portraits and tbe F air Children at tbe Grafton Galleries. The Dowdeswell Charts give an excellent view of tbe relation of artists in Britain to tbc foreign scbools.

Genius. With hints of madness and mystery, moral license and visionary force, the word suggests an almost otherworldly power: the power to create, to divine the secrets of the universe, even to destroy. Yet the notion of genius has been diluted in recent times. Today, rock stars, football coaches, and entrepreneurs are labeled 'geniuses,' and the word is applied so widely that it has obscured the sense of special election and superhuman authority that long accompanied it. As acclaimed historian Darrin M. McMahon explains, the concept of genius has roots in antiquity, when men of prodigious insight were thought to possess -- or to be possessed by -- demons and gods. Adapted in the centuries that followed and applied to a variety of religious figures, including prophets, apostles, sorcerers, and saints, abiding notions of transcendent human power were invoked at the time of the Renaissance to explain the miraculous creativity of men like Leonardo and Michelangelo. Yet it was only in the eighteenth century that the genius was truly born, idolized as a new model of the highest human type. Assuming prominence in figures as varied as Newton and Napoleon, the modern genius emerged in tension with a growing belief in human equality. Contesting the notion that all are created equal, geniuses served to dramatize the exception of extraordinary individuals not governed by ordinary laws. The phenomenon of genius drew scientific scrutiny and extensive public commentary into the 20th century, but it also drew religious and political longings that could be abused. In the genius cult of the Nazis and the outpouring of reverence for the redemptive figure of Einstein, genius achieved both its apotheosis and its Armageddon. The first comprehensive history of this elusive concept, Divine Fury follows the fortunes of genius and geniuses through the ages down to the present day, showing how -- despite its many permutations and recent democratization -- genius remains a potent force in our lives, reflecting modern needs, hopes, and fears.
