The most substantial lexicographical undertaking in England between that of Samuel Johnson and the O.E.D. "First published as part of the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana 1818-37 it consisted of a great many illustrative quotations drawn from literature but with relatively few and brief definitions . Richardson's approach was based on the notion that quotations alone if sufficient in number could serve to elucidate 'true etymological meaning.' He went far beyond Johnson in collecting quotations beginning at the fourteenth century Johnson went back only to the end of the 16th century . Richardson sought by his vast collection of quotations to justify the preposterous theory of John Horne Tooke that each word had a single immutable meaning. In his own work each word and its derivatives were given one etymology and one meaning. His etymologies were as preposterous as his theories but his dictionary was of great interest to lexicographers because it foreshadowed the historical collections of quotations that were later to form the basis of the Oxford English Dictionary" Landau Dictionaries p. 66.

Scarce thus. In the 1990s a loose-knit group of American artists and creators many just out of their teens began their careers influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day such as skateboarding graffiti street fashion and independent music. Artists like Shepard Fairey Mark Gonzales Spike Jonze Margaret Kilgallen Mike Mills Barry McGee Phil Frost Chris Johanson Harmony Korine and Ed Templeton began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Many had no formal training and almost no conception of the inner workings of the art world. They learned their crafts through practice trial and error and good old-fashioned innovation. Not since the Beat Generation have we seen a group of creative individuals with such a unified aesthetic sense and varied cultural facets. The world of art has been greatly affected by their accomplishments as have the worlds of fashion music literature film and ironically athletics. Beautiful Losers is a retrospective celebration of this spirit with hundreds of artworks by over two dozen artists from precursors like Jean-Michel Basquiat Keith Haring and Larry Clark to more recent adherents Ryan McGinniss KAWS and Geoff McFetridge. Work in all conceivable mediums is included plus reproductions of reams of ephemera. The accompanying essays are contributed by half a dozen writers who have championed these beautiful losers from the start.
