Based on the recently discovered letters of the sculptor Paul Montford (1868-1938), this book re-establishes a unique connection between the sculpture of two cities and exposes the professional networks that were maintained over great distance. It is the result of four years of research in Australia and Britain that has attracted funding and fellowships from universities in both countries.
Centre for Research and Development | CRD
The Centre for Research and Development oversees all research at the University of Brighton Faculty of Arts:
- fostering and promoting research excellence across the spectrum of arts disciplines: creative and performing arts, architecture, design, media and the humanities
- supporting, encouraging and developing the research activities of staff and postgraduate students in their pursuit of fresh insights, new knowledge and understanding
- enhancing society's understanding of human culture and creativity, past and present.
Research in the creative and performing arts, architecture, design, media and the humanities is at the forefront of a thriving research culture at the University of Brighton. The Faculty of Arts has systematically pursued an explicit strategy of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, inter-relating critical theory, contemporary practices and their histories. This has generated fresh fields of interdisciplinary enquiry stimulating insights that question current practices and foster new understandings.
