Linden, Diana L. "Modern? American? Jew? Museums and Exhibitions of Ben Shahn's Late Paintings." Prospects 30 (October 2005): 665–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0361233300002222.
Full textAbstract:
The year 1998 marked the centennial of the birth of artist Ben Shahn (1898–1969). Coupled with the approach of the millennium, which many museums celebrated by surveying the cultural production of the 20th century, the centennial offered the perfect opportunity to mount a major exhibition of Shahn's work (the last comprehensive exhibition had taken place at the Jewish Museum in New York City in 1976). The moment was also propitious because a renewed interest in narrative, figurative art, and political art encouraged scholarly and popular appreciation of Ben Shahn, whose reputation within the history of American art had been eclipsed for many decades by the attention given to the abstract expressionists. The Jewish Museum responded in 1998 with Common Man, Mythic Vision: The Paintings of Ben Shahn, organized by the Museum's curator Susan Chevlowe, with abstract expressionism scholar Stephen Polcari (Figure 1). The exhibition traveled to the Allentown Art Museum in Pennsylvania and closed at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1999.Smaller Shahn exhibitions then in the planning stages (although not scheduled to open during the centennial year) were to focus on selected aspects of Shahn's oeuvre: the Fogg Museum was to present his little-known New York City photographs of the 1930s in relationship to his paintings, and the Jersey City Museum intended to exhibit his career-launching series, The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti (1931–32). Knowing this, Chevlowe smartly chose to focus on the later years of Shahn's career and on his lesser-known easel paintings of the post-World War II era. In so doing, Chevlowe challenged viewers to expand their understanding both of the artist and his place in 20th-century American art.

Chvyr, L. A. "The Visitor and the East West Jazz." Journal of the Institute of Oriental Studies RAS, no. 1 (11) (2020): 61–75. http://dx.doi.org/10.31696/2618-7302-2020-1-61-75.
Full textAbstract:
The article is based on the author’s impressions of the East West Jazz exhibition in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow in the fall of 2019. The exhibition was quite notable, and especially attractive due to the fashionable way of exhibiting the works of art, deliberately erasing the established boundaries between genres, styles and trends. The originality of the exposition was manifested in a paradoxical comparison of two artistic traditions, standing far from each other in all respects — chronologically, territorially, ethnically, religiously, and culturally. But the main and interesting feature was the opposition of two types of arts — decorative and applied art pieces and easel painting. The first are the artifacts of folk art of Central Asia of the 19th — early 20th centuries in the form of magnificent examples of oriental silk-weaved traditional robes (from the private collection of Alexander Klyachin); the second — a number of paintings and drawings by European abstract artists of the mid-20th century (from the collections of the Jean Claude Gandur Foundation in Geneva, the Pompidou Center and the Applicat-Prazan Gallery in Paris). The samples selected on both sides, located in the exposition side by side in “pairs”, clearly demonstrated ornamental and coloristic analogies in dressing gowns and abstract paintings. However, the idea of the organizers of the exhibition (according to the catalog) was not simply to compare them, but to show different types of abstraction, equally expressing the “idea of freedom”, which in the West is often symbolized by jazz music. The author of the article develops this idea, believing that the underlying cause of these similarities is the use of the main (“jazz”) principle — improvisation within the canon, originally inherent in any sphere of both ancient, and modern “oral” pieces, not only musical, but also visual.

Full textAbstract:
The rupture in the history of Korean embroidery is generally perceived as a severance from the traditional embroidery, made due to the Japanese colonial rule. However, it cannot be denied that the narrative of modern and contemporary Korean art history, mainly constructed around artistic movements and groups, also played a major part. The dispute encompasses the fundamental question of whether embroidery can be seen as a form of fine art from the perspective of modernist aesthetics, and the matter of hierarchy between different crafts. Also inherent are the tensions between contradictory values such as tradition and modernity, Western or Japanese and Eastern or Korean, abstract and figurative, and others peculiar to Korea, and the effects of such binary oppositions are closely related to gender problems. This paper re-examines, from gender perspectives, the chronological history of embroidery since the late 19th century, which had been placed on the periphery of Korean art history until now. In the traditional society, embroidery was produced and enjoyed privately, but moved into the public sphere through education and exhibitions for women during modernization. In the process, in order to be recognized as a form of pure art, embroidery gave up its unique characteristics as craft and took on the formative language of paintings. In the years immediately after liberation from Japanese colonial rule, which was the era of eradication of Japanese influences, establishment of national identity, and industrialization, embroidery was divided into abstract embroidery understood as more masculine, and traditional embroidery considered more feminine. Korean embroidery artists in the 20<sup>th</sup> century, as women experiencing particular historical contexts, worked with confidence in the artistic value of embroidery due to or despite their specific circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
The artist Endel Kõks (1912–1983) is a member of the same generation of Estonian art classics as Elmar Kits and Lepo Mikko. After Kits’s and Kõks’s debut at the exhibition of the Administration of the Cultural Endowment’s Fine Art Foundation (KKSKV) in Tallinn in 1939, the three of them started to be spoken about as the promising Tartu trio. In 1944, Endel Kõks ended up in Germany as a wounded soldier, while Kits and Mikko remained in Estonia. The Kõks’s works that have surreptitiously arrived in his homeland are incidental and small in number. Thus, without any proof, an image developed or was developed of him in Soviet-era art history as a mediocre painter and especially as a weak abstractionist, which is somewhat prevalent even today. I would dispute this based on the conclusions that I reached when helping to organise the exhibition of exile Estonian art between 2008 and 201142 and Endel Kõks’s solo exhibition between 2011 and 201343; conclusions that I have supplemented with the opinions expressed by exile Estonian art historians and artists.In 1951 Kõks moved to Sweden. Paul Reets has highlighted the years between 1952 and 1956, and assumed that these were difficult years due to the contradictions he faced. According to Reets, one obstacle was influence of the Pallas on Kõks’s painting style, which was conservative and adhered to the trends of Late Cubism. According to both Eevi End and Paul Reets, Kõks painted his first abstract painting in 1956 Rahutus (Restlessness) according to the former and Konflikt (Conflict) according to the latter). A black-and-white photo exists of Restlessness, which is slightly reminiscent of Pollock, and this is not the same work that P. Reets refers to. They both note that this was a convincing and mature abstraction not a searching for form, and as Reets states, Kõks had severed himself from the Pallas.The abstract paintings created between 1956 and 1960 – Kompositsioon (Composition) (1958), Rõõmus silmapilk (Joyful Moment) (1959) and others – are constructed on the impact of a joyfully colourful palette and lines, and demonstrate a kinship with the abstract works of Vassili Kandinsky. There is also a similarity to Arshile Gorky, whose works he may have seen at the exhibition of modern American art in Stockholm in 1953.Kõks’s transition into a pure form of abstraction occurred in 1963. Reets has characterised this as a “the most wondrous year that one can expect to see in an artist’s life. Not an unexpected year, but one that was unexpectedly and extremely rich when it came to his works.” The artist started to create series of works, of which the best known is undoubtedly Elektroonika (Electronics), which was comprised of 36 sheets. According to Kõks, he developed the need and idea to create the series while listening to experimental music, watching experimental films and thinking about nuclear physics. Created with a glass printing technique, or vitreography, each work is unique due to the post-printing processing, paint dripping, spraying and additional brushstrokes and images. Of course, all this alludes to Jackson Pollock.In 1962, Kõks painted the abstract composition Astraalne (Astral), which depicts a red circle and bent violet rectangle next to it on an interesting yellowish-brown surface that creates a rough effect. Using only these two symbols, the artist creates a sense of floating in cosmic space. Starting in 1964–1965 this style gradually came to dominate his work, and in was in this style that Kõks created the works that express the greatness of his talent and the charm of the “shaper of nature forms” in the purest sense.The construction of these works is brilliantly simple, and comprised of symbols and images placed on a relatively uniform surface. The nervous brittleness and rapid movement have disappeared from the paintings. The mood is calm and reveling. There is a monumental feel to many of the pictures. Masterful, delicate colour combinations triumph. And as time goes on, the more abundant and interesting the texture becomes. Eevi End believes that Kõks was influenced by Ellsworth Kelly, Kenneth Noland and other representatives of the school of Hard-edge painting that other influential direction operating in American abstractionism during the 20th century. Kõks himself has defined his abstract paintings as biomorphic abstraction, characterized by a free formalism, spatiality and atmospherics (Arshile Gorky, William de Kooning, Mark Tobey, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock.)Kõks’s abstraction that features intellectual and cognizant images is totally the opposite of Elmar Kits’s excellent and spontaneous colourful abstraction. Kits remains true to the Pallas colour tradition; Kõks breaks out of it. Kõks feels secure painting abstract pictures and enjoys the game, which cannot be said of the thoroughly abstract works of Lepo Mikko or Alfred Kongo. Those who doubt this statement should remember that, in order to provide an assessment of Kõks’s abstract pictures, one must have seen them in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. Conclusions cannot be drawn based exclusively on the works in Estonia. As an abstractionist, he is in no way weaker than his contemporaries, just very different and the determination of superiority is a matter of taste. Endel Kõks’s greatness lies in the fact that he was able to fit with what was happening in world art (which many exile artists could not); he experimented with new directions and finally put together something new for himself, and thereby developed Estonian art as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores scientific works in which the concept of “national” was studied through the prism of the creative intentions of Ukrainian painters. Based on the analysis of literary sources, it is shown that the formation of the national context of Ukrainian painting in the first third of the 20th century is determined by a number of factors — historical and cultural features of the time, values and artist’s worldview. The actualization of scientific discourse of national art contributed to the in-depth study of the development and functioning of Ukrainian painting of the specified period, creative visions of artists. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, the cultural-historical method is applied to clarify the prerequisites, cause-and-effect relationships, reconstruction of the development of Ukrainian painting in a diachronic and synchronous dimension, hermeneutics — to substantiate the progress of Ukrainian painting and its significance for culture. Understanding the vision of Ukrainian painting of the first third of the 20th century in the publications of scientists is based on a review of exhibitions, analysis of works, study of biographies and stages of artists’ creativity. It is argued that in the creative intentions of artists who professed realism or formed the foundations of Ukrainian modernism and avant-garde, the concept of «national» determined the development strategy of Ukrainian painting

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the phenomenon of multi-sensorial, digital, and immersive art exhibitions of popular artists, which has been widely neglected in academic research, from a historical perspective. Reflecting the significance of lived experience in art consumption, this 21st-century phenomenon can be confronted productively with early-20th-century art reproductions. The article focuses on the characteristics of both popular phenomena and on their advertisement, as well as on the discourse around them, documenting reactions from resistance to persistence and accommodation. The analysis shows noticeable similarities between the two types of popularization of high art, positioning the new immersive exhibitions in a traditional line of technical innovative art popularization. Whereas photomechanical art reproduction had an immense influence on the popular art canon, being also dependent on ‘photogenic’ conditions of artworks and thus focusing predominantly on painting, the contemporary canon is predisposed by the immersible characteristics of artists’ oeuvres.

Full textAbstract:
Over three and a half centuries, the genre of flower still life created by Dutch artists experienced ups of interest and oblivion. There were the maximum assessment of society in the form of high fees of the 17th century artists; the criticism of connoisseurs and art theorists; the neglect in the 19th century and the rise of auction prices and close attention of art critics, manifested from the middle of the 20th century to the present day. In the middle of the 17th century, there was already a hierarchy of genres, based on both the subject and the size of the paintings, which was reflected in the price. Still lifes and landscapes were cheaper than allegorical and historical scenes, but there were exceptions, for example, in the works of Jan Brueghel the Elder and Jan Davidsz. de Heem. Art theorists Willem van Hoogstraten and Arnold Houbraken, resting upon academic tastes, downplayed the importance of still-life painting. Meanwhile, the artists themselves, determining the worth of their paintings, sought for maximum naturalism, and such paintings were sold well.In the 20th century, this genre attracted the attention of collectors in Europe and the United States. A revival of interest in Dutch still lifes in general, and in flower ones in particular, began in the 20th century, the paintings rose in price at auctions, and collecting them became almost a fashion. Art societies and art dealers of the Netherlands and Belgium organized several small exhibitions of still lifes. The course for studying symbolic messages in still lifes, presented by Ingvar Bergström, is continued by Eddie de Jong, who emphasizes the diverse nature of symbolism in Dutch painting of the 17th century. Svetlana Alpers, on the contrary, criticizes the iconological method and presents the Dutch painting of that period as an example of visual culture. Norman Bryson’s view of Dutch still lifes is formed against the background of the development of a consumer society, economic prosperity and abundance. Finally, there has been an increasing interest in the natural science aspects of flower still-life painting in the researches of the last twenty years. Curiosity, skill, and admiration for nature are the impulses that can still be felt in the images of bouquets and fruits.

Full textAbstract:
Within the group of lesser-known foreign painters who stayed in Croatia between the two world wars, Russian painter Alexei Hanzen (b. February 2, 1876 in Odessa – d. October 19, 1937 in Dubrovnik) stands out with his artistic achievements. Having immigrated to Croatia in 1920, he remained here for the rest of his life. Nearly two decades spent in Croatia have been a time of intense work, during which Hanzen participated in numerous exhibitions organized almost every year in Zagreb, as well as in Split, Osijek, Dubrovnik, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Paris, Buenos Aires, Prague and elsewhere. His paintings could be seen at private houses, in public and museum collections, and at various royal courts, and are nowadays part of various collections in Croatia. Early in the 20th century, Hanzen studied painting in Munich, Berlin, and Dresden, and then continued his artistic training in Paris, in the ateliers of Tony Robert-Fleury and Jules Lefebvre. He was the grandson of the famous Russian marine artist Ivan Kostantinovich Ajvazovsky, and likewise specialized in painting sea scenes, presented at various exhibitions from 1901 onwards. For his work he was awarded in Paris and Russia, and in 1910 became the official painter of the Russian Navy.

Full textAbstract:
The article uses the example of Kazan to reveal the process of organizing and holding exhibitions of artworks from private collections in the Russian pre-revolutionary province. Addressing this topic, which has not been sufficiently studied in the history of Russian art, is relevant because it expands the understanding of the phenomenon of exhibition activity, which is one of the most important aspects of artistic life in Russia. The source base of the present study is the catalogues of four exhibitions of paintings from private collections held from 1873 to 1916, as well as publications in the Kazan press of this period. The peculiarities of the organizational process, selection and exposition of works, and the owners of the works are revealed. It is established that the exhibitions were of charitable nature: their proceeds were directed either in favour of the starving or poor, or in favour of Russian soldiers. The main collectors of art works in Kazan in the second half of the 19th century were predominantly landed gentry and university professors (who came from the families of personal nobles and officials). By the early 20th century, representatives of individual merchant families also had significant art collections. The exhibited works represented the whole variety of genres, but they were dominated by landscapes and portraits, primarily family portraits, suitable for decorating mansions. Catalogues allow us to conclude that local collectors of the second half of the 19th century were primarily interested in foreign art (masters of the Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Belgian, German and French schools, mainly of the 17—18 centuries), as well as (to a lesser extent) Russian academic painting (from V.L. Borovikovsky and D.G. Levitsky to D. Zakharov) and itinerant painters (I.I. Shishkin, N.A. Yaroshenko). By the end of the 19th century, the vector of collectors’ preferences shifted towards contemporary Russian art (works by Makovskys, I.E. Repin, etc. were collected), and collecting works by local artists (K.V. Bardou, L.D. Kryukov, R.A. Stupin, N.I. Zeblov, etc.) began to develop as a special direction.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the influence of the Itinerants' creative ideas on Chinese realistic painting, the development of which is inseparable from the study of the Itinerants. The article examines how the painting technique and ideology of the Association of Itinerant Art Exhibitions founded in the late 19th century are relevant to many 20th-century Chinese artists. The authors identify the ideological principles of the Itinerant movement that have influenced different generations of Chinese artists (rejection of the “art for art's sake” principle, emphasis on national characteristics of painting, responsibility for reflecting the life of people in the country, advocating the spirit of critical realism as the only true way to reflect life in art) and prove that without Russian Itinerants there would be no Chinese realism in painting and modern Chinese realistic painting. The article identifies and characterizes three stages of adopting the Itinerant creative ideas in China: the period of the Republic of China (acquaintance of the Chinese public with the Itinerants' paintings and understanding the Itinerant ideology at the time of the “Movement for New Culture”), the beginning of the PRC foundation (the period of comprehensive study of realist painting, training of talented Chinese artists in art educational institutions of the USSR as part of the cultural exchange and mastering the principles of Soviet realist art) and the first decade after the Cultural Revolution (a critical “painting of scars” reflecting the experiences and fates of people during the Cultural Revolution). The authors conclude that the study of the Itinerants' creative ideas from the point of view of cultural studies in the context of the Chinese realist art school development is important for understanding the Russian- Chinese cultural dialogue.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa reflete a relação entre a música do compositor norte americano Morton Feldman e o grupo de pintores do Expressionismo Abstrato The New York School of Visual Arts - partindo da ótica do próprio compositor. Abordamos a maneira como Feldman trabalhou concepções advindas da pintura na composição técnica e estética em sua música. Para discorrer sobre este tema, a dissertação apresenta uma breve contextualização histórica da década de 50, do século passado, momento do encontro de Feldman com os pintores. Em seguida, apresentamos as concepções desenvolvidas por Feldman em sua música derivadas da pintura. Para tanto, apresentaremos análises que nos permitam compreender como estas concepções se concretizam musicalmente através da história notacional do compositor. Do ponto de vista metodológico a pesquisa se vale das declarações do próprio compositor, de pesquisas que abordam o trabalho composicional de Morton Feldman e da análise de obras. Priorizamos a análise da peça Crippled Symmetry, já que ela apresenta uma das notações mais originais produzidas por Feldman, o que nos inspirou a composição de Sombras Sobre o Encoberto 11, peça que apresentamos neste trabalho como resultado composicional desta pesquisa. Nas considerações finais, além do resultado de Sombras Sobre o Encoberto 11, discutimos como as concepções utilizadas por Feldman a partir da pintura pode ser amplamente explorada como base composicional singular.
Abstract: This research is about the relation between the music of the American composer Morton Feldman and the group of painters of Abstract Expressionism The New York School of Visual Arts - from the point of view of himself. It will focus the way Feldman developed concepts drawn from painting in the technique and aesthetics of his music. Thus the dissertation presents a historical account of the 1950s, when Feldman and the painters met. Then we present concepts Feldman drew from painting and developed in his music. We provide analyses which allow us to understand how such concepts work musically throughout Feldman's notational history. The method of this research is based on Feldman's statements, researches about his compositional work and the analysis of pieces. Crippled symmetry, whose notation is among the most original devised by Feldman, undergoes extensive analysis. It has also been the inspiration for the composition of our work Sombras sobre o Encoberto II, We present this piece as the compositional outcome of this research. In addition to this piece, the conclusion shows how the concepts Feldman drew from painting can be vastly explored as a unique basis for the composition of music.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une étude du mouvement Cobra à travers les œuvres collectives, une de ses composantes caractéristiques. Il s’agit tout d’abord de comprendre le mouvement, ses origines et influences, ainsi que sa visée d’un art libre, ouvert, expérimental, partie prenante de la vie. Dans un contexte social d’après-guerre, souvent politisé, Cobra défend l’action collective, définie notamment dans les notions d’antispécialisme et d’interspécialisme. Il convient de mettre en exergue les origines de cette pratique, et saisir les divers aspects qu’elle arbore, notamment au travers de revues, d’expositions ou de créations partagées. Le poète Christian Dotremont, animateur et âme de Cobra, favorise le travail de collaboration et contribue à son développement en stimulant les rencontres artistiques. Il se fait le passeur et le permanent "agitateur"» de cette notion. Les peintures-mots qu’il crée avec d’autres artistes participent à sa réflexion majeure sur l’écriture et la peinture. Ce lien interpelle quelques artistes belges comme Pierre Alechinsky, mais il passionne Christian Dotremont qui ne cesse de multiplier les expériences à ce propos, pour aboutir à ce qu’il nomme les logogrammes, remarquable fusion de la peinture et de la poésie, et aboutissement de toute une vie de recherche. Ce travail est structuré en trois points. Le premier établit une étude du contexte artistique et social des années précédent Cobra puis la mise en place du groupe. Le second aborde les années d’intense activité "officielle" du groupe, au service du collectif. Enfin, le troisième propose de suivre l’évolution post-Cobra des œuvres collectives et des recherches sur l’écriture et la peinture. / This thesis is a study of the Cobra movement through one of its characteristic components: the collective works. First of all it's about understanding the movement, its origins (three countries), its influences and its purpose of a free art, open, experimental, involvement with life. In a social after-war context, often politicized, Cobra defends collective action, notably defined in concepts of anti-specialism and inter-specialism. We should therefore underline the origins of this practice and undestand different aspects that it shows, in particular through publications, exhibitions or shared creations. The poet Christian Dotremont, leader and soul of Cobra, promotes cooperative work by collaboration and contributes to its development by stimulating artistic meetings. He is the purveyor and permanent "agitator" of this concept. The words-paintings that he creates with other artists, take part of his major thinking about writing and painting. This link interpellates a few Belgian artists like Pierre Alechinsky, but it fascinates Christian Dotremont who keeps experimenting on it, in order to reach what he calls the logograms, a remarkable fusion of painting and poetry, and a culmination of a life-time of research.
This work is structured in three parts. The first one draws a study of the artistic and social context of the years preceding Cobra and the setting up of the group. The second one talks about years of intense "official" activity of the group serving collective way of work. Finally, the third one offers to follow the post-Cobra evolution of collective works and researches about writing and painting.

Full textAbstract:
This doctorate explores 'Organic Growth and Form in Abstract Painting', as the focus of my studio-based research, and which has resulted in two significant series of paintings, Organica and Streaming. The accompanying exegesis addresses experiences that are realized within the studio practice, and complements the two series of paintings. In the exegesis I describe the innovative and distinctive painting processes I have developed, and explain my motivation for working this way. I cite the writing of the philosopher of science, Henri Bortoft, in particular his description of 'active' seeing, which I suggest can be understood as a kind of modeling of my processes of making the Organica and Streaming paintings. Key to my research has been an investigation into the work of the early Russian avant-garde artist, musician, theorist and teacher, Mikhail Matyushin, who promoted an 'organic' vision of painting during the early years of modernist experimentation, insisting that perception cannot be separated from the body's inherent connection with nature. I discuss how the artists in the Organic studio, led by Matyushin, tested their sensitivity to perceptual and sensory experience with controlled experiments. Philosophically, they considered their findings to be congenial with the latest scientific discoveries of their time. Although my paintings are constructed very differently from those of Matyushin, my approach to perception and interpretation in painting is in sympathy with his thinking. The constructive and perceptual approach I have taken to both series of paintings has been directly influenced by immersion in natural environments. My exegesis provides a detailed account of this working process: how I work with geometric templates for the coordination of colours, and my systematic approach to their application, leading to uncontrived 'organic' extensions in the detail. I discuss my interest in the implicit knowledge garnered through perception of colours and the connective fabric underlying surface appearances in nature. I argue that these observations are generative resources for painting, and emphasise the fact that our sensory and thinking bodies are also part of nature. - provided by Candidate.

First chapter focused on the introduction of Zen and Taoism philosophy by Eastern and Western viewpoints. Second part of this chapter investigates the literature review by number of books, novels, research papers, articles of Zen and Taoism philosophy, art influence on east and west. However, several painters from East and West have deeply influenced by this philosophy but there is very less information available about painting and philosophy connection. Some of literature are very important for this research and had details examination in this chapter. Second chapter Research background is constructed on Twentieth century artists, who can be safely said to be influenced by Zen and Taoism philosophy, were not interested in a photographic representation of an object but in interpreting its spirits. It has been Cosmo centric. Therefore this chapter examines western artists and their involvement and viewpoints and for Eastern mainly concern on Taiwanese and Indian artists works. Third chapter of significance and expected outcomes mainly focused on varied colors and abstract forms of Zen and Tao such as Enso, Yin-Yang, circle, square, triangular, spiral or (Kundalini). Therefore this Chapter is constructed on philosophical influence of Zen and Taoism by basic of line, calligraphy, color, techniques and styles by various artists. Fourth chapter is based on my own art experience and an influence of Zen and Taoism philosophy as well as the influence of abstract painters of 20th century. The guidance of my fine art professor Su Hsian-Fa and Hsiao Chong Ray, about collective unconscious, that all humans have common inherited archetypal and symbolic patterns of emotional and mental behavior which took me to the higher levels and in depth in abstract paintings creation inspired by Zen and Taoism Philosophy. Fifth chapter is main analysis of this research. It’s analyzed by number of artist of Europe and America. 20th century’s American artists explored the calligraphic brushstroke, which was an approach to abstract painting that focused on popular writings on Taoism and Zen and its ethics of direct action. American artists were searching beyond the limitations of their culture for motivation. Shodo, in general, served as inspiration to numerous Abstract Expressionist painters of the period. Japanese art and Zen Buddhism dominated in part because America’s political and economic ties with Japan were historically stronger than those with China or India. Especially European artists inspired by this philosophy and their composition were depending upon chance, random accident or highly improvisational execution, typically hoping to attain freedom from the past, from academic formulas and the limitations placed on imagination by the conscious mind. 20th century most of abstract art was spiritual in its origin and one of them was theosophy movement, it can compare with many of spiritual techniques in Eastern systems of spirituality, to compare the different meditation techniques of Zen and Taoism in this chapter. Conclusion is arrived on Zen Philosophy is constructed on Nothingness whereas Taoist philosophy is constructed on Empty mind therefore this research focused on the aspects of comparative philosophical and painting study and view but not religious view.

This following is a study on abstract painting: the critical reception and analysis of painterly practice--performative, experimental, dissenting--in New York from 1936 to 1951. By metonymy, this study also looks at the figure in the political realm via the critiques offered by socially-oriented critics at this time (some of whom were also art critics). As the boundless secondary literature on this period has noted, the painting of the New York School would "triumph" with "stunning success" by the late 1950s. In other regards, the subject of this dissertation is that of failure. The revolution (or, "the idea of Revolution") that had been hoped for by so many left-wing radicals in the 1930s never quite came to pass or, later, went horribly wrong: first in Spain and then elsewhere. "Modern art, like modern literature and modern life," Clement Greenberg concluded in a 1948 essay on the Old Masters "has lost much." Greenberg's essay on the Old Masters appeared in the same number of Partisan Review as Hannah Arendt's essay, "The Concentration Camps." This is the generation of critics, intellectuals and artists who bore the brunt of articulating the unspeakable horrors of the Camps and the Bomb--manmade places and events that were "beyond human comprehension." This study is also about belief, of kinds: a Modernist belief in the agency of the artist, in the discernment of the critic, and of a "superstitious regard for print," to which Greenberg referred with irony in a 1957 essay (artists didn't always believe what they read, he would conclude). Irving Howe, the founder of Dissent in 1954, supposedly once quipped that, "when intellectuals can do nothing else, they start a magazine." The dissertation at hand contains a number of kinds of critical statements: ones of ambiguity and of skepticism, and others of crisis and disinterest, directed towards art objects and elsewhere, and expressed by writers at mid-century, some especially subtle and acute. Modernist belief, even if betrayed too often, allowed these critics often to escape velleities, or other empty gestures, in their writing.

Full textAbstract:
Within my thesis I propose to establish the existence of what I call 21st century expressionism. This genre of art is an extension of the movement that began in 20th century post-war America. 21st century expressionists create works that are intended to promote emotional responses within the viewer. “The term ``expressionism'' can be used to describe various art forms but, in its broadest sense, it is used to describe any art that raises subjective feelings above objective observations. Its aim is to reflect the artists’ state of mind rather than the reality of the external world”. Lee Krasner and Tony Smith, represent prime examples of 20th century expressionists and, Etsuko Ishikawa and Beth Cavener Stichter represent artists of 21st century expressionism.

Beyond Picturing is practice led research aimed at determining whether horizontality can be deemed a medium in its own right, and further, whether it can establish a new set of conventions, enabling a cross-cultural dialogue between peoples of our region, particularly Aboriginal people and Maori and those of European heritage. I chart the course of horizontality across the art of the 20th century, identifying it as a medium for practice. My thesis examines examples in which horizontality as a methodology was a vehicle for meaning, based on the theories of structural linguistics and phenomenology. Furthermore, by acknowledging the axial shift, from the horizontal plane of process to the vertical plane of image, I discover a shared ground for cultural dialogue with painters of the central desert and the Kimberley.

1 Abstract A monograph on Jan Kotík (1916-2002) introduces both his art and theoretical work, it deals with a historical and cultural context of the now-defunct Czechoslovakia. Kotík's - an artist's, theoretician's, published author's, educator's - artwork enjoys a prominent position in the context of Czech art of the second half of 20th century. An art-historical assessment of artwork was based on Kotik's artwork inventory and on all the documentation on Kotik's life and art work archived in the Documentation Department of the Institute of Art History of the Academy of Sciences of the CR and in private archives in the CR and Berlin. The study is based on a method of organic combination of biographical data and art-historical data with quotation of Kotik's theoretical texts. An evolution of artist's work is demonstrated chronologically with the context to Czech and world art. The monograph includes chapters: "Father Pravoslav's Art Studio and Study Years", "Art Group 42", "Possibilities of Applied Art", "Painting-Object", "Stay in Berlin", "Returns".

Abstract THIS book locates the act of reading within the vibrant experience of exhibitions which characterized public culture in late eighteenth-century London. After the new copyright laws of the 1770s offered authors to the public domain, an increasing number of texts circulated in the shape of cheap editions, anthologies, and abridgements. This wider market in turn identified in readers a constituency of viewers, and in subscriptions for literary prints and texts a way of funding historical and epic painting. The cultural practices emerging from this new culture of exhibitions and anthologies energized spectators and readers. Both exhibitions and anthologies excerpted literary texts, transforming them into a series of discontinuous turns which it was for readers and spectators to re-create into continuous wholes.

This work is a list of the contents of the daily newspaper Nov’, as well as the accompanying supplement Utrennij telefon “Novi”. The objects of attention were publications that touch upon topics related to literature, music, painting, theater, architecture, sculpture and philosophy. The pages of a relatively short-lived newspaper reflected, in particular, such events as the arrival in Moscow of F. Marinetti, H. Wells, G. Kogan, the protest actions of European suffragettes, the exclusion of V. Rozanov from the Religiousphilosophical society, the centenary anniversary of T. Shevchenko, the return of M. Gorky to Russia and exhibitions of avant-garde artists. This indicates that the Nov’ newspaper can be used as a valuable source for the study of Russian culture at the beginning of the 20th century.

Abstract This chapter elaborates on how architecture can project a British identity at home and abroad. It primarily focuses on international exhibitions, showing how architecture has morphed from being an expression of empire into an agent of soft power. In 1951 the Festival of Britain showcased collective and individual British achievements, and was intended as a visible sign of national confidence. The chapter provides further detail of the enduring legacy of international exhibitions and World’s Fairs as celebrations of Western colonialism and how these have changed tone since becoming World Expos in the mid-20th century. It then argues that British architecture will always remain in flux, vital and relevant.

Abstract Chapter 2 used Iser’s reader response to analyse the role and trans- formation of texts at exhibitions. That analysis is here pushed further as we move from the catalogue to the pictures. Much as gallery catalogues exemplify the ways in which texts construct their implied readers, so do literary galleries construct their implied spectators. This chapter sets the visual narrative explored by theorists alongside dictionary entries, developments in museum layouts as well as the visual spectacles of the day: magic lanterns, panoramas, and the Eidophusikon. In The Shows of London (1978), R. D. Altick offered a ground-breaking inventory of London’s spectacles. Eighteenth-century spectacles and viewing practices went across the barriers preserving high art and literature from what now falls in the precincts of popular culture. In order to reconstruct how language and painting turned readers into spectators in late eighteenth-century London, we need to explore the ways in which aesthetic experience was shaped by visual technologies as a series of integrated cultural practices. This chapter focuses on how reading shaped the experience of exhibitions and ends with an analysis of literary gallery narratives, culminating in a montage reading of Fuseli’s Milton Gallery.

Abstract Viewers of art objects in nidnineteenth-century America brought to their encounter with painting or sculpture a set of expectations very foreign to twentieth-century aesthetic values. The gulf had already opened in 1903, when Henry James looked back on the career of sculptor William Wetmore Story a half century earlier and commented that works of art in Story’s generation did not appeal to what he considered the aesthetic sense, but rather to “the sense of the romantic, the anecdotic, the supposedly historic, the explicitly pathetic. It was still the age in which an image had, before anything else, to tell a story.”1 The stories that art objects told their audiences sometimes affirmed and sometimes subverted their ostensible meaning. Some were poorly articulated and may be recovered only in indirect ways, while others were recorded in letters between artists and patrons, in descriptions of art objects that were published in newspapers and magazines, and in printed catalogues of art exhibitions. Imagining a past, present, and future as well as an emotional context for a fictional subject, audiences participated in the production of meaning and revealed many of their own assumptions. Fervent believers in the equivalence between words and images, they saw in art ob jects representations of the world as they understood it.

Full textAbstract:
The research on Russian painting of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century in the context of early and modern African culture/art belongs to the realm of theoretical reflection within such disciplines as cultural geography, anthropology of place and space, cultural and existential experience, geocriticism (painterly depictions of natural and urban space), geopoetics (painterly topography), and is interdisciplinary in nature. The analysis of Russian-African interdisciplinary dialogue in visual representations of Africa, as an aspect of the Russians’ awareness and idea of this continent, requires an answer to the following questions: what attracted Russian artists to Africa and how did it influence Russian culture/art? And the other way round – what did Russians, especially those travelling through Africa, bring to African culture? In Russian painting, which is diverse in terms of genres (landscape, portrait, still life), Africa functions as a nationally, culturally and socially heterogeneous continent. The early and modern African aesthetics/ art is the source of inspiration for iconographic and formal innovations. In iconic texts, visual translation, representation and interpretation of Africa manifests itself at the imagination-related levels: at thematic and motivic, narrative and compositional levels, at the level of a painterly code and in the conceptualization of artistic language. The painterly depiction of Africa, to which each of the Russian artists contributes their own representation types, artefacts, poetics and semantics, is usually created on the basis of the observation of real space, which, transformed in the iconic text, functions in an artistic, aesthetic, ideological and emotional projection. The reflection focuses on the painterly depictions and various representations of Africa which include motifs referring to African culture/art – the effect of ethnographic and artistic travels to various regions of the Dark Continent. The exemplary material selected from albums, Internet exhibitions of Russian paintings and artists’ professional websites has been analysed in terms of iconography (identification of the elements of the represented world and the relations between them), the connection between the title of the work and the visual representation, the formal determinants of the painterly depiction of Africa, and the poetics of reception.

Full textAbstract:
Résumé: Ateliers d’artistes, appartements et villas de collectionneurs, pavillons, scénographies et musées : l’exposition est un fil rouge de l’œuvre de Le Corbusier. Le rapport que l’homme entretient à l’œuvre d’art et les modalités de ce rapport sont des éléments fondateurs de son architecture et occupent une position primordiale dans sa vision de la ville. De la ziggourat du Musée mondial en 1929, jusqu’aux projets des années 1960 comme le Centre d’Art international à Erlenbach ou le Musée du XXe siècle pour Nanterre, les musées sont des pièces incontournables des ses grands plans d’urbanisme. Les projets de musées et de pavillons d’exposition entre 1929 et 1965 et les concepts des différentes expositions qu’il organise évoluent en parallèle de sa manière d’envisager le rapport à l’œuvre, que ce soit celui de l’artiste, du spectateur initié ou du novice. Les esquisses préparatoires des différents projets de musées et de pavillons retracent cette évolution. La critique du projet du Mundaneum par Karel Teige assume un rôle clé dans la transformation décisive du concept du musée qui a lieu entre le Musée Mondial en 1929 et le projet de Le Corbusier pour le Musée à croissance illimitée en 1930. C’est un changement séminal qui est décisif pour les projets futurs. L’architecture et la relation à l’œuvre d’art ne sont plus déterminées par le recours à une forme, mais par un mécanisme fonctionnel et organique: la croissance, à la fois image et symbole de l’évolution positiviste de l’humanité. Abstract: Exhibitions, museums, pavilions, artist ateliers, apartments and collectors’ villas: exposition runs like a red thread through Le Corbusier’s work. Man’s relationship to art is a fundamental element of architectural dispositifs. Art influences his vision of society as a whole, and museums are central to his major urban plans, from the ziggurat of the Musée Mondial in Geneva, to the museums in Ahmadabad, Tokyo or Chandigarh, to projects he realized in the late 1960s, such as the Museum of the 20th Century in Nanterre. The evolution of museum design between 1929 and 1965 and of the concepts Le Corbusier developed for the different exhibitions of his own œuvre are in keeping with his way of understanding the relationship to works of art, whether by the artist, a knowledgeable public or those encountering art for the first time. The sketches for the different museums and pavilions retrace this evolution. Karel Teige’s critique of the Mundaneum project assumes a key role in the transformation of the museum concept that occurred between the Musée Mondial of 1929 and Le Corbusier’s first designs for a Museum with Unlimited Growth in 1930. The architecture and the place for art in society are no longer determined by the use of a form but through a functional mechanism. Growth is understood as an image of the positive evolution of mankind. This seminal change is a key to the later projects.Mots clés: musée, exposition, fonctionnalisme.

Full textAbstract:
Resumen: Dentro de la obra de Le Corbusier, el espacio expositivo fue un tema ampliamente desarrollado. La idea de generar un prototipo teórico de museo, por ejemplo, fue recurrente a lo largo de toda su obra, como una idea latente, en gestación, a la espera del momento para ser llevada a la realidad de la construcción. En el caso concreto del museo de crecimiento ilimitado, desarrollado teóricamente a lo largo de la década de 1930, los pocos ejemplos construidos son ejecutados a partir de los años cincuenta. Al realizar una compilación de los ejemplos de espacios expositivos proyectados por Le Corbusier, siguiendo líneas tipológicas similares, en donde se incluyan no solo museos, sino también, pabellones y salas de exposición, montajes expositivos e, incluso, propuestas comerciales (donde lo expuesto es una mercancía), se constata que el número total de obras supera las ochenta, abarcando proyectos desde 1910 (la sala de exposiciones del Taller de artistas) hasta la muerte de Le Corbusier en 1965, con el último ejemplo proyectado: el museo del siglo XX en Nanterre. A la hora de analizar las distintas estrategias proyectuales empleadas por el maestro a la hora de enfocar la arquitectura expositiva, un punto interesante es el reclamo publicitario, la propaganda y la captación del interés de los visitantes, la relación con el diseño gráfico y la publicidad, el empleo del color, el grafismo o la cartelería. Todos estos aspectos son especialmente relevantes en el caso de pabellones de exposición y pabellones para marcas comerciales. Abstract: Within the work of Le Corbusier, the exhibition space was a theme widely developed. For example, the idea of a theoretical prototype of the museum was recurrent throughout his work, as a latent idea, waiting for the time to be taken to the reality of construction. In the case of the museum of unlimited growth, theoretically developed throughout the 1930s, the few built examples are executed from the fifties. In carrying out a compilation of examples of exhibition spaces designed by Le Corbusier, following similar typological lines, where not only museums but also pavilions, exhibition halls, expositions and even commercial proposals are included, we find that the total number of works exceeds eighty, covering projects since 1910 (the exhibition hall of the Ateliers d’Artistes) to the death of Le Corbusier in 1965, with the final example: the Museum of the 20th Century in Nanterre. When analyzing the different design strategies employed by the Master at the exhibition architecture, an interesting point is the study of advertising, propaganda (attracting the interest of visitors), the relationship with graphic design, and the use of color, graphics and signage. All these aspects are especially relevant in the case of exhibition halls and pavilions for trademarks. Palabras clave: pabellones; exposiciones; museos; publicidad.

Resumen: Pedro Vieira de Almeida (Lisboa, 1933 – Matosinhos, 2011) es uno de los más importantes críticos y teóricos de la arquitectura en la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Portugal. En 1963, presenta en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Oporto una tesis titulada “Ensayo sobre el espacio de la arquitectura”, influida por el pensamiento de Bruno Zevi. Hasta la Revolución de los Claveles (1974), va a compaginar su práctica profesional como arquitecto con una intensa actividad crítica ejercida sobre todo en periódicos y revistas culturales. Desde sus primeros trabajos se evidencia una notable capacidad de utilizar conceptos críticos innovadores en el análisis de obras de arquitectura, lo que será fundamental en sus estudios historicos desarrollados a lo largo de su vida, dados a conocer en publicaciones y exposiciones retrospectivas sobre arquitectos clave. Este ensayo propone una reflexión sobre el legado de Le Corbusier poniendo el aciento en algunos artículos de Vieira de Almeida escritos entre 1965 y 1970, así como en la investigación que ha llevado a cabo en los últimos años de su vida. Esta lectura diacrónica pone de relieve el papel central del maestro franco-suizo en la lectura crítica de Vieira de Almeida del racionalismo, a través de las nociones por él manejadas: “estructura crítica como condición base de la creación”, las vertientes poético-simbólica y mítica de la arquitectura o el concepto de carácter más instrumental de la “espesura”. Abstract: Pedro Vieira de Almeida (Lisbon, 1933 – Matosinhos, 2011) is one of the most prominent critics and theorists of architecture in the second half of the 20th century in Portugal. In 1963, he presented at the Oporto School of Fine Arts a thesis entitled “Essay on architectural space”, clearly influenced by the thoughts of Bruno Zevi. Until the Carnation Revolution (1974), he will combine his professional practice as an architect with an intense critical activity, developed mainly in newspapers and cultural magazines. Since his early work, a remarkable ability to use innovative concepts in the critical analysis of buildings have been put forth, with major consequences in his historiographical studies, developed throughout his life through publications or retrospective exhibitions on key architects. The following paper proposes a reflection on the legacy of Le Corbusier based on Vieira de Almeida’s theoretical work, linking some texts written between 1965 and 1970 with his research carried out in his last years of life. This diachronic study highlights the central role of Le Corbusier in Vieira de Almeida’s critical approach to rationalism, by means of notions as: “criticism as a basic condition of creation”, poetic-symbolic and mythical aspects of architecture, or the more instrumental concept of “thickness”.
