The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University presents a rare opportunity to study the versatile mind of one of 18th-century Britain's most fascinating artists. The 'Horrible Imaginings' of John Hamilton Mortimer, featuring works exclusively from the Cantor Arts Center's collection, opens December 15 and continues through March 27, 2005. Stanford, California—The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University presents a rare opportunity to study the versatile mind of one of 18th-century Britain's most fascinating artists. The 'Horrible Imaginings' of John Hamilton Mortimer, featuring works exclusively from the Cantor Arts Center's collection, opens December 15 and continues through March 27, 2005. Mortimer (1740–1779), a painter, draftsman, and printmaker who enjoyed considerable patronage in his own day, was known for his flamboyant personality, radical politics, and extravagant imagination. Mortimer depicted monsters, Shakespearean subjects, and picturesque banditti. He also produced imaginary portraits of famous artists and more conventional images, such as seascapes. Mortimer's interest in emotionally charged subjects, such as Death on a Pale Horse (Revelation 6:8), and in portraying episodes from British literature and history proved as influential as his personal character, which established him as an archetype of the Romantic artist.

Rumpole Rests His Case
John Mortimer
Viking / Penguin
UK Hardcover First
ISBN 0-670-91085-6
Publication Date: 2001
Date Reviewed: 05-28-02
REFERENCES COLUMNS Mystery 'Rumpole Rests His case' find Mortimer bringing Rumpole into the 21st century. Due to the flexibility of this character, it's not at all that hard. In 'Rumpole and the Old Familiar Faces', the barrister finds that his chambers have been declared a smoke-free zone, and is actually forced to comply. 'Rumpole and the Asylum Seekers' find the defender standing up for refugees from Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Though written before the current interest in this topic, it stands up perfectly well, with nary a hint of over-topicality or heavy-handedness. 'Rumpole and the Camberwell Carrot' finds Rumpole defending a hard-line anti-drug campaigner accused of lighting up the titular Camberwell Carrot. Mortimer does a nice job of skewering both sides of the political spectrum. He and Rumpole are excellent equal-opportunity satirists. In 'Rumpole and the Teenage Werewolf', the cranky old man enters the electronic age, as he defends a teenager accused of sending harassing email to female fellow student. As one who used to administer information services for a rather large company, I can attest that Mortimer acquits himself nicely as he treads on terrain that too often trips up writers who pretend to know more than they in fact do know. There's nary a hint of 'magic keyboard syndrome', that eternal problem whereby characters type commands on a computer keyboard that yield results improbable in real life.

John Mortimer
Spectator, The Nov 24, 2001 by Mortimer, John In these grimly tolerant years Paul Bailey's Three Queer Lives (Hamish Hamilton, L14.99), an account of eccentrics who camped in the shades of the prison house, was a little gem. I particularly liked Arthur Marshall who, when an officer in the war, referred to Field Marshal Montgomery as 'a dashing little hockey mistress' and told his fellow officers that the initial 'C' in his own name stood for Cynthia. `Damn silly name for a man,' said a gloomy major, but called Marshall Cynthia every evening in the mess. Ken Tynan's Diaries (Bloomsbury, L25) were continuously entertaining, although the author, whom I always thought I liked and admired, emerges as a highperformance operator with no deep or genuine feeling for much except spanking and cigarettes.

http://www.thrillingdetective.com/eyes/rumpole.html
Editor's Prerogative Horace Rumpole
Created by John Mortimer (1923- )
"Crime doesn't pay, but it's a living." Down those mean streets and meaner chambers a man must waddle... Lord knows, he's not a private eye, but God, I wish he were. Like Philip Marlowe , Rumpole is ""a relatively poor man... a common man or he could not go among common people. He has a sense of character, or he would not know his job. He will take no man's money dishonestly and no man's insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man or be very sorry you ever saw him. He talks as the man of his age talks that is, with a rude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for sham, and a contempt for pettiness." So, may I submit for your consideration, Your Honour.... That great defender of most muddled and sinful humanity... With his jowls a-quiver... His fondness for Wordsworth, Chateau Thames Embankment and hopeless cases... His cheroot-puffing and claret-quaffing...
