Three pre-eminent artistic movements have come to prominence. Which are your works most associated with?
| ||
The Celestials | The Nocturnals | The Sovereign School |
In Old London, they wrote nostalgically of the Surface and the Sun. Now, they write of the Stars, and the Treasures of Heaven.
The Celestials revere the complexities of the natural order. All things have a place – from highest to high, from lower to least. They favour the intricate; the tranquil; the reflective. |
A radical, outlawed school that delights in freedoms found in the dark.
Their sentiments are revolutionary, so to avoid the censorious ink of the Ministry of Public Decency, they conceal their message in code and in margins: liberation!
|
A new tradition, born in the Empress' Court. Their works are patriotic, bombastic, and occupied with the iconography of time: clocks and seasons and sand and so forth.
Members of the Sovereign School can find wealthy patrons. The dream is to catch the attention of the Empress herself. Some of her own children are luminaries of the school. |
