Instead of putting a seal on the past, he channelled his first-hand experience of the ruthless side of the war \u2013 often considered a controversial topic in its aftermath \u2013 into art pieces that would be experienced by the authorities and the public. Artist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b06ts10b\">Martin Jennings, on BBC&#8217;s Great Lives,<\/a> described Charles Sargeant Jagger as being &#8220;arguably the first British sculptor to capture the horror of war&#8221;, but somehow his memorials seem to have eluded the attention of the general public for many years, becoming &#8220;hidden treasures&#8221; waiting to be re-discovered. <br \/><br \/>While exploring the role of photography in mediating history and memory in the Conway Library, thinking about the sensory process needed to form memories inspired me to add the dimension of sound to selected images from the Charles Sargeant Jagger collection. The audio is generated and edited using Pixelsynth \u2013 a browser-based synthesizer that reads pixelized information from each photograph. In my experimentation, I took photographic information and translated it into a digital language for each image, and finally for the image they create when viewed collectively. [1] The title is inspired by Path\u00e9&#8217;s short film <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZTo9ClKa-Sk.\">An Unfinished Symphony in Stone<\/a>, <\/em>(1935) which is available in the British Path\u00e9 archive.<br \/><br \/>Consistently, in Jagger\u2019s monuments that are currently publicly displayed, the strong, almost paradoxical relationship established between the monument and their surroundings becomes a very intriguing feature. The realistic way in which he presents his subject matter, made me think of urban monuments with similar qualities in China, for instance, the group sculptures placed outside of the <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Nanjing_Massacre_Memorial_(10151784366).jpg\">Nanjing Massacre Memorial<\/a>. These powerful and disturbing war memorial sculptures are located within the historical site of the tragedy to commemorate the victims of the tragedy and emphasize the sentiment of the memorial to visitors who have chosen the site for a visit. In contrast, some of Jaggers well-known works are on display in spaces that aren&#8217;t specifically linked to tragic war events, and that are still in regular use by residents and visitors for transport and relaxation. Examples include the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_Western_Railway_War_Memorial\">Great Western Railway War Memorial in Paddington Station<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Royal_Artillery_Memorial\">Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner<\/a> in London. The positioning of the memorials in locations of public transit and leisure, allows individual experiences of the monuments to intersect freely, without necessarily purposeful or structural influences of interpretation.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Conway Library includes photographs of different views of the Royal Artillery Memory at Hyde Park Corner. The memorial consists of a Portland stone cruciform base supporting a one-third over-lifesize sculpture of a howitzer (a type of artillery field gun). At the end of each arm of the cross is a sculpture of a soldier\u2014an officer at the front (south side), a shell carrier on the east side, a driver on the west side, and at the rear (north side) a dead soldier. The sides of the base are decorated with relief sculptures depicting wartime scenes. The Conway images show the black statues of the soldiers stark against the white stone plinth, the huge squat barrel of the howitzer pointed to the sky. Another photograph shows part of the relief carved in the side of the memorial depicting two soldiers in an observation post scanning the distance, looking in the same direction as the gaze of the statue of the officer at the front of the Memorial.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_1046\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1046\" style=\"width: 485px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2021\/02\/Picture-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-1-1.jpg 485w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-1-1-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1046\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">C S Jagger&#8217;s Royal Artillery Memorial, Hyde Park Corner.

Held in the Conway Library, currently without accession number.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>Instead of posing in a celebratory moment, Jagger\u2019s figures are usually found standing in a guarded position to symbolize their solemn role and the terrible losses of war. Another photograph in the Conway library shows the figure of the driver on the Royal Artillery memorial [3], with his arms spread beneath his cape as if on a crucifix, his face in shadow beneath the brim of his helmet. The culminating example of Jagger&#8217;s unfiltered representation of reality lies in the choice of depicting a soldier\u2019s corpse lying at eye level at the rear side of the Memorial, which pulls you in with the gripping realism of 20th-century warfare. The photograph, negative number 246932, is an unflinching view of this carved corpse, draped with his greatcoat, his helmet on his chest.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_1049\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1049\" style=\"width: 611px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1049 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2021\/02\/Picture-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-4-1.jpg 611w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-4-1-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1049\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">C S Jagger&#8217;s Royal Artillery Memorial, Hyde Park Corner.

The picture below shows Jagger as he works on the Monument to Ernest Shackleton that now stands outside the Royal Geographical Society building in Kensington, depicting the heavily clad and hooded Antarctic explorer at over-life size, dwarfing the sculptor. His enlarged casted shadow looms in the background, while his assistant works on a maquette model in the foreground.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_1050\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1050\" style=\"width: 611px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1050 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2021\/02\/Picture-5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-5-1.jpg 611w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-5-1-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CS Jagger working on the statue of Shackleton.

Maquette for the War Memorial at the Britannia Hotel, Manchester. Held in the Conway Library, currently without accession number.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>While Jagger\u2019s statues were documented in long shots in the Conway Library, his reliefs for the frieze intended to commemorate the First battle of Ypres are recorded with close-up images focusing on the details. This frieze was to feature in a proposed Hall of Remembrance that eventually was not built; \u00a0Jagger\u2019s bronze and plaster work was given to the Imperial War Museum. The photographs show a fibreglass resin casting taken from the original, that produces a wrinkled texture in the pictured artwork, conveying the impression of a freshly unfolded scroll.<\/p>\r\n<p>The close-up photos also bring out tender details, like the depiction in the relief around the base of the Royal Artillery Memorial of a three-in-one folding knife, fork and spoon set and a frying pan. They represent the very human condition of soldiers at war, making the contrast between the large and conceptual nature of war and the basic and practical human needs like eating and drinking. A striped towel\u2019s texture is beautifully enhanced by the cascading pattern on the rock\u2019s surface. The fact that the basic coexists with the heroic on the Royal Artillery Memorial balances the artist\u2019s attention to the general living conditions during warfare and his intention to relate with and obtain the acknowledgement of the public. This next sound piece explores this domestic detail.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_1052\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1052\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2021\/02\/Picture-7-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-7-1.jpg 525w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/02\/Picture-7-1-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">C S Jagger, The First Battle of Ypres.
