Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history

The Twelve Apostles (Learned from his father, who was born in 1865. His father in turn, learned it from his own father.)
(This is a cumulative song. It is necessary to transcribe only the first and last stanzas.)
Come and I will sing.
I will sing you one.
One He is the Lord of Lords, and shall forever reigh.
Come and I will sing.
I will sing you twelve.
Twelve were the twelve apostles Eleven went to heaven Ten were the ten commandments Nine were the moonshine bright and fair And eight were the eight archangels Seven were the seven stars in the sky And six were the cheerful waters Five were the ferryman of his boat And four were the gospel preachers Three of them were strangers
Two of them were lily-white babes, dressed in the morning green
One he is the Lord of Lords, and shall forever reign.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

I Love a Sailor
I love a sailor, a sailor loves me,
He sails every night to my home;
He's not a sailor that sails o'er the sea,
Nor over the milky white foam,
He owns an airship that sails up on high,
He's just like a bird on the wing,
And most every night by the moon's silvery light He sails to my window and sings:
Chorus:
Come take a trip in my airship,
Come take a sail 'mong the stars,
Come take a trip around Venus,
Come take a sail around Mars. There'll be no one to see while we're kissing, No one to watch while we spoon,
Come take a trip in my airship,
And visit the man in the moon.
One night while sailing away through the clouds,
We passed through the Milky White Way,
And while we were sailing and watching the clouds, He asked me if I'd name the day;
Right near the Dipper I gave him my heart,
The star shines on our honeymoon,
We swore to each other we never would part And teach all the babiesthe tune:

Joe Bowers
My name it is Joe Bowers,
I have a brother Ike;
I came from old Missouri,
And all the way from Pike.
I'll tell you why I came here,
And why I came to roam;
To leave my dear old mother,
So far away from home.
I used to court a gal,
Her name was Sally Black;
I asked her if she'd marry me,
She said it was a whack.
Said she to me, "Joe Bowers,
You are the man to win,
Here's a kiss to bind the bargain,"
And she hoves a dozen in.
I said to her, "Dear Sally,
Dear Sally for your sake,
I'll go to California,
And try to make a stake."
Days she to me, "Joe Bowers,
Before we hitch for life,
You ought to get a little home,
To keep your little wife."
I went to California
For in my biggest licks,
Went down upon a boulder,
Just like a thousand bricks.
I worked both late and early,
And rain and sun and snow,
I was working for my Sally,
It was all the same to Joe.
At length I got a letter,
From my dear Brother Ike;
It came from Old Missouri,
And all the way from Pike.
Joe Bowers (contd.)
Reel 235, Item 2
It brought to me the darnest news.
That ever I did hear;
My heart was almost bursted,
I was almost in despair.
It said that Sal was false to me,
Her love to me had fled;
She got married to a butcher,
And the butcher's hair was red.
And more than that the letter said,
Its enough to me you swear,
Sally had a baby,
And the baby had red hair.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
An X-Ray Crystallographic Study of Five Compounds from a Series of 1,x-bis-(4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazin-3-yl)alkanes
No full textThe crystal structures of a series of bis-(4-oxo-
3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazin-3-yl)alkanes, compounds 5
to 9, have been determined by single crystal X-ray dif-
fraction analysis. The structural parameters of the triazi-
none rings in the five compounds do not display systematic
differences with respect to those reported for a few anal-
ogous compounds. The benzotriazinone rings in 5 and 9 are
almost perpendicular to the alkylic chain. The molecules in
the crystal packing are linked by means of a weak C–H...X
H-bond (X = N/O). Compound 6 has two independent
molecules in the asymmetric unit; one of the molecules
displays disorder within the benzotriazinone moiety linked
in position 1 to the propane alkylic group. The disordered
molecule displays two conformations of the benzotriazi-
none linked in position 1 to the propane bridge. Compound
8 also displays disorder within the benzotriazinone moiety
linked in position 1 to the pentane alkylic spacer group.
The molecules of compound 7, in the crystal packing,
also form intra and inter-molecular C–H...X(X = N/O)
hydrogen bonds. None of these compounds show any
tendency to adopt a folded conformation with intramolec-
ular p–p stacking between benzotriazinone units
Crystal Structures of a Series of Bis{(2-Aminobenzoyl-)amino} alkanes
No full textAbstract The crystal structures of 1,2-bis-{(2-aminobenzoyl-)amino}ethane(1), 1,4-bis-{(2-aminobenzoyl-)amino}butane(2) and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-bis-{(2-aminobenzoyl-)amino}-propane(3) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. 1 and 2 are centrosymmetric molecules which lie on crystallographic centers of symmetry and adopt extended conformations.On the other hand, owing to the odd number of carbon atoms in the spacer unit, 3 does not show centrosymmetry, but crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric
space group and assumes a folded conformation. The crystal
structures of 1, 2 and 3 are compared with the known structures of anthranilamide (7) and the N-alkyl anthranilamide derivative 8. Crystal data: 1 C16H18N4O2, monoclinic, space group P21/a, a = 9.5262(8) A ̊ , b = 5.4200(5) A ̊ , c = 15.3821(14) A ̊ , b = 105.980(5) and V = 763.52(12) A ̊ 3, for Z = 2. 2 C18H22N4O2, monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 32.0710(17) A ̊ , b = 5.4732(4) A ̊ , c = 9.7326(5) A ̊ , b = 102.570(4) and V = 1667.42(17) A ̊ 3, for Z = 4. 3 C19H24N4O2, orthorhombic, space group Pca21, a =16.7676(4) A ̊ , b = 10.1847(2) A ̊ , c = 10.5338(5) A ̊ , and V = 1798.89(7) A ̊ 3, for Z = 4

Kephart the Hunter
No full textThis article, pages 5 to 19, is titled, “Kephart the Hunter.” It appears in the January 1914 issue of The Berea Quarterly. On page 2 is a photograph taken from Kephart’s book “Our Southern Highlanders.” Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author. In 1904, he left St. Louis and permanently moved to western North Carolina. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains. “Our Southern Highlanders” was first published in 1913 and revised in 1922
