Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTRadiocarbon (14C) dating has previously been applied to modern paintings on canvas from the 20th century to identify potential modern forgeries, and dates indicate a time lag of several years between the harvesting of plant fibers for making canvas, and completion of a painting. This study investigated both the length of this time lag and the potential of 14C dating to inform about an individual artist’s mode of working (for example long-term storage or reuse of canvases, or extended reworking on a single canvas) and/or to establish a chronology for a corpus of work. Two pre-bomb and 16 post-bomb artworks by 17 mid-20th-century Scandinavian artists were 14C dated. The majority of post-bomb samples indicated a time lag of 2–5 years between the harvesting of the plants and completion of a painting, but some samples recorded lags of up to 10 years, and others produced much earlier results, potentially indicating the use of much older canvases or challenges removing contamination prior to dating. The importance of thorough pre-screening of canvas samples for both synthetic fibers and contaminants prior to dating, and selection of the most suitable calibration curve, are highlighted.

The 20th century was a period of change in the development of Chinese flower-and-bird painting. Traditional brush and ink painting blended with Western painting colors and concepts to present new forms of painting. Following the peak of Ming and Qing Dynasties’ development in Minxi (the western of Fujian) painting, a group of freehand flower-and-bird painters represented by the “four Masters of Shanghang” Li Shaoqi, Luo Xiaofan, Qiu Tian, and Song Shengyu, who inherited the Minxi painting style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, learned the new painting language combines the styles of Paintings of Shanghai school, Lingnanism, and Lingdongism. The unique new style of painting highlights the posture of Minxi flower-and-bird paintings, thus influencing the modern times changes of flower-and-bird paintings of Fujian.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the phenomenon of Chinese realism, as well as the prerequisites and factors that influenced the processes of reception in modern Chinese art. At the beginning of the 20th century, under the influence of Western academic realism and the artistic system of social realism, a new direction and artistic method was formed — realism, which became mainstream in the art of China of the mid-20th century. According to its aesthetic and ideological motifs, Chinese realism is an object of social realism reception, which was determined by cultural and historical factors, and the development of political, economic and cultural ties with the USSR. Studying the realistic painting, which reflects the atmosphere of the era, the worldview, and the dialogue of cultures, is relevant for both Chinese and Russian contemporary art studies. The article examines the role of realism in the development of Chinese art culture of the 20th century, including its socio-political components, as well as the dynamics of artistic and expressive means and the iconographic system in the context of the historical and cultural situation. In the 1980s and 1990s, as a result of the liberalization of economic and political life, the artistic consciousness formed new concepts of realistic painting — neorealism and cynical realism, associated with a critical rethinking of the historical heritage. The neorealism and cynical realism, which would significantly enrich realistic painting with new forms and content, adopted Western postmodern concepts of pop art, and debunked, in a grotesque and satirical form, the political stereotypes of the past. The analysis of realistic painting of the 1990s demonstrates how the transformation of past painting canons reflects the desire of society to free itself from the pressure of totalitarian ideology and to rethink the value orientations of the previous era.The novelty of this study lies in the fact that it applies a systematic and holistic approach to the analysis of realism in Chinese painting, reveals the diversity of its forms and directions, and gives ground for the specifics of its evolution in the context of the artistic culture of the 20th century China. There are almost no comprehensive studies of this issue in modern art history, so this work is an attempt to create a scientific approach to the study of this artistic phenomenon and the formation of ideas about how the artistic consciousness of an entire epoch was changing.

Full textAbstract:
In this study Trifunovic? hypothesis that there are three objective lines in the development of modern art was psychologically evaluated. According to Trifunovic, in the first line (C?zanne - cubism - neoplasticism - suprematism) the geometrization of form prevails, in the second (Van Gogh - expressionism - abstract expressionism) the use of color is dominant, whereas the main features of the third line (Gauguin - fauvism) are symbolic use of color and reduction of perspective. Fifteen reproductions of paintings that represent the three developmental lines were used as stimuli. The subjects were asked to judge the stimuli on nine bipolar 7-step scales. These scales constitute the three factors of instrument SDF 9: Evaluation, Arousal and Regularity (3 scales x 3 factors = 9 scales). Four clusters of paintings were obtained: Abstract-expressionistic (moderate Evaluation, high Arousal and low Regularity), Figural-expressionistic (very low Evaluation, low Arousal and high Regularity), Constructivistic (moderate Evaluation, low Arousal and high Regularity) and Realistic (high Evaluation, high Arousal and high Regularity). The results partially confirm Trifunovic? hypothesis indicating that, besides the formal features, the content (abstract vs. figural) is also significant factor of subjective clustering of paintings.

Full textAbstract:
The most successful early-20th-century artist of colored light in the United States was undoubtedly Thomas Wilfred (1889–1968). In the 1920s, his “Lumia” compositions were praised by art critics and performed throughout the U.S. After initially embracing a musical analogy to explain Lumia, in the early 1930s he shifted to an analogy based on painting. In pursuit of this new context, Wilfred sought to legitimize Lumia through a relationship with the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His career is emblematic of the difficulties inherent in the creation of art using technology early in the 20th century, years before the postmodern embrace of pluralism.

We present results from preliminary laser cleaning studies performed on a 20th century modern painting, in which laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was employed for monitoring the progress of material removal. This synergistic approach, that combines laser ablation cleaning with spectroscopic control, is of obvious importance as it offers a reliable means of ensuring proper conservation and could be the basis of a standard protocol for laser-based restoration procedures.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of research in this article is a description of a number of creative formalist approaches to modern landscape painting, which are born under the influence of rethinking the leading stylistic trends of the 20th century by artists. Approaches in the landscape genre are analyzed, which are based on the study of world experience and the artistic heritage of different countries, as well as the principles of academicism. Particular attention is paid to analyzing specific examples of modern landscape practice. Also, it is extremely important to characterize the plots and images of paintings, variations of the artistic language that are used in visualization. The main conclusions of the study of the topic is a detailed disclosure of the concept of "image" of landscape painting. There is also a distinction between the concept of style in art into a stylistic direction, considered in a narrow sense, and a historical style, considered more broadly. The author's special contribution to the study of the topic is that in modern landscape painting the formalistic approach can become one of the structural components of a new style in art, if this is accompanied by appropriate factors. The form in this perspective is precisely the link that the creator lacks to create a full-fledged creative image that has developed in his imagination.

Full textAbstract:
The 20th Century Avant-Garde Movements broke with the traditional distinction of artistic disciplines in favour to an ambiguous space where limits are diffuse. Exhibition space played a relevant role in this sense as a laboratory where art object and spectator are together in interaction, getting to experiences that, in many cases, transcend from the exhibition to disciplinary Architecture. Through the analysis of the Proun Space of El Lissitzky, constructed in 1923, and some of the most relevant proposals of Neplasticist authors, focusing on the creative and experimental process, contributions from Painting to Architecture are established. Some of them, partially shaded by the hegemony of Modern Movement, have been incorporated to 20th Century architectural projects and they are a significant chapter about interdisciplinary creative processes.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: We, i.e. contemporary Western man, live in a society which has increasingly embraced Science and Technology as the ultimum bonum. The Machine, i.e. Science and Technology, has come to be seen as an impersonal force, a New God - omniscient, omnipotent: to be worshipped and, alas, also to be feared. This mythologem has come to pervade almost every sphere of our lives in a paradigmatic way to the extent where it is hardly ever recognized for what it is and hence fails to arouse the concern it merits. While some of the more perceptive minds - such as Erich Fromm, Rufino Tamayo, Carl Gustav Jung, Konrad Lorenz and Arthur Koestler, to mention but a few - have started ringing the alarm bells, the vast majority of our species seem to plunge ahead with their blinkers firmly in place (more or less contented as long as they can persude themselves that these blinkers were manufactured according to latest technological and scientific specifications). Man’s uniquely human powers - his creative intuition, his feelings, his moral and ethical potential, have become sadly neglected and mistrusted. Homo sapiens – “homo maniacus” as Koestler suggests? - is now at a crossroads: he has reached a point where the next step could be the last step and result in the annihilation of man as a species. Alternately, avoiding that, there is the outwardly less drastic but essentially equally alarming possibility of men becoming robots, while a third alternative has yet to be found. While it does appear as if a lot of young people, noticeably among students, have started reacting against the over mechanization of life, these reactions often tend to follow the swing-of-the-pendulum principle and veer towards the other extreme, throwing out the baby with the bathwater and falling prey to freak-out cults in a kind of mass-irrationalism, rejecting science and technology altogether. Artists who by their very nature perhaps are particularly sensitive - in a kind of seismographic way - to the currents and undercurrents of their age, have become aware of the effects of science and technology on our way of living, and many of them have in one way or another taken a stand in relation to the position of man in our highly technological world. Looking at the art produced over the last four decades, it is truly astonishing to what extent our changed world reflects in our art - a world and a Weltbild very different from that of our ancestors even just a few generations ago. The purpose of the present study is to survey some of the observations and commentaries that painters and certain kindred spirits from the sciences over the last few decades have offered, in the hope of, if not answering, at least defining and posing anew some of the questions that confront us with ever-increasing urgency.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the realist art movement from its origins in France in the 1840s to its development in China in the 20th century and its impact on the author as an artist. The thesis reviews the development of realism in France, and traces its impact on Chinese conceptions of realism in the 20th century. The contemporary debates surrounding realism in China are examined and contextualised within the recent history of realism in China. Finally the thesis looks at the impact of realism on the author’s creative practice and a case is argued for the development of realist ideas in a globalised culture and its value as a cross- cultural visual language.

Full textAbstract:
The study of Nazi art as an historical document provided an effective measure of Nazi political platform and social policy. Because the ideology of the Third Reich is represented within Nazi art itself, it is useful to have a good understanding of the politics and ideology, surrounding the German art world at the time. Women were used in this study as an exemplification of Nazi art. This study uses the subject of women in Nazi painting, to show how the ideology is represented within the art work itself. It was first necessary to understand the fervorent "cleansing" of the German art world initiated by the Nazis. The Nazis too effectively stamped out all forms of professional art criticism, and virtually changed the function of the art critic to art editor. The nazification of the German artist was "necessary" in order for the Nazis to enjoy total control over the creation of German art. With these three steps taken in the "cleansing" of the German art world, the Nazis made sure that the creation of a "true" Germanic art would go forth completely unhindered. In order to comprehend the subject of Nazi art regarding women, the inherent ideology must be studied. The "new" German woman under National Socialism, was to be the mother, the model of Aryan characteristics, healthy and lean. Nazi political doctrine stated that women were inherently connected with the blood and soil of the nation, as well as nature itself. Women were to be innocent and pure, the bearers of the future Volk and the sustenance of that Volk. Once this political ideology is understood, the depiction of the German woman as mother, as nature, as sexual object, can be placed within Nazi historical context. Political art provided the Nazi state, the historical legitimization the government needed. It provided the means by which the state could be visually validated, politically, and historically.

Full textAbstract:
This exegesis is an exploration of meditative process in painting and drawing and accompanies an exhibition of paintings and large drawings called What Lies Beneath. The text contains several passages, called "meditations," which accompany the themes approached in the chapters and give insight into the thoughts and practices of the artist. The methodology involves the examination of the evidence of the work produced by selected artists, looking at the words of artists in notebooks, diaries and interviews and surveying a small number of local contemporary artists. The text opens up the possibilities of drapery and garments and of still life as paths to meditative practice in painting and drawing. The qualities that characterize meditative process/practice, derived from my observations, are categorized. Some of the strengths of these processes are revealed through the examination of the work of artists, both contemporary and historical. The work of Vermeer, Sanchez Cotan, Francisco Zurbaran and contemporary artists Anne Judell, Simon Cooper, Jude Rae, Alison Watt and Eva Hesse highlight different aspects of the meditative process in painting and drawing. The art works in the exhibition are documented and bring out the meditative processes that have contributed to their creation, including the use and meaning of the subject (drapery and the garment as a form of still life).

Full textAbstract:
Scenario House, a gallery based installation, is comprised of a room constructed as a ???family room??? within a domestic space, a television with a looped video work and a sound componant played through a 5.1 sound system. The paper is intended to give my work context in relation to the processes leading up to its completion. This is achieved through clarification of the basis for the installation including previous socio-political discourses within my art practice. It then focuses on ways that the installation Scenario House is based on gun practice facilities such as the Valhalla Shooting Club. Further it gives an explanation of the actual production, in context with other art practices. It was found that distinctions between ???war as a game??? and the actual event are being lost within ???simulation revenge scenarios??? where the borders distinguishing gaming violence, television violence and revenge scenarios are increasingly indefinable. War can then be viewed a spectacle where the actual event is lost in a simplified simulation. Scenario House as installation allows audience immersion through sound spatialisation and physical devices. Sound is achieved by design of a 5.1 system played through a domestic home theatre system. The physical design incorporates the dual aspect of a gun shooting club and a lounge room. Further a film loop is shown on the television monitor as part of the domestic space ??? it is non-narrative and semi-documentary in style. The film loop represents the mediation of the representation of fear where there is an exclusion of ???the other??? from the social body. When considering this installation it is important to note that politics and art need not be considered as representing two separate and permanent realities. Conversely there is a need to distance politicised art production from any direct political campaign work in so far as the notion of a campaign constitutes a fixed and inflexible space for intellectual and cultural production. Finally this paper expresses the need to maintain a critical openness to media cultures that dominate political discourse. Art practices such as those of Martha Rosler, Haacke and Paul McCarthy are presented as effective strategies for this form of production.

Resumo: O pintor Eliseu d'Angelo Visconti (Salerno, Itália, 1866 - Rio de Janeiro, 1944), apesar de ser precursor do modernismo brasileiro, pioneiro do design no Brasil, e ainda decorador de diversos edifícios importantes do Rio de Janeiro, não tem sua obra conhecida nem valorizada na justa medida, como também grande parte dos artistas brasileiros. A catalogação sistemática da obra de um artista é o procedimento que visa sanar essas faltas e também prevenir e combater a falsificação, que progride na medida em que o mercado de artes plásticas no Brasil é insipiente e o conhecimento do seu objeto é precário. Foi feito, então, um levantamento das pinturas a óleo e de cavalete atribuídas a Visconti, num recorte que exclui toda a sua produção de desenho, pinturas em outras técnicas, projetos para as indústrias artísticas e os grandes painéis decorativos. Para definir o estágio de autenticação de cada pintura e ordená-las cronologicamente, foi realizada uma grande coleta de documentos e críticas publicadas por ocasião das muitas exposições que Visconti participou. Além disso, as características individuais do autor - em termos de cor, fatura, desenho e composição - observadas em suas obras de autoria comprovada, quando estão evidentes em outras pinturas, servem de base para a sua aprovação. Assim, foram destacadas 501 pinturas a óleo, em sua grande maioria comprovadas e aprovadas, num Elenco Cronológico e Iconográfico; acompanhadas de seus dados essenciais e históricos, e de um símbolo de caracterização da obra, que as define em cinco variáveis: autoria, título, imagem, data e coleção. Em separado, são apresentadas mais 115 pinturas, ainda em estudos ou não aprovadas, e acompanhadas dos mesmos elementos. Visconti alcançou uma linguagem plástica pessoal harmonizando elementos de sua formação acadêmica com as tendências do final do século XIX: pré-rafaelismo, impressionismo, simbolismo, artnouveau. Assim, foi inovador e ousado, sem ser contestador ou revoltado
Abstract: The painter Eliseu d'Angelo Visconti (Salerno, Italy, 1866 - Rio de Janeiro, 1944), despite being a precursor of modernism in Brazil, and a pioneer of design in Brazil, and decorator of several important buildings in Rio de Janeiro, his work is neither known nor appreciated in full measure, as happens to most Brazilian artists. The systematic cataloguing of the work of an artist is the procedure that aims to remedy those deficiencies and prevent and combat counterfeiting, which progresses to the extent that the market for visual arts in Brazil is incipient and knowledge of its object is poor. Then it was made a survey of oil paintings attributed to Visconti, a clipping that excludes all of its production design, paintings in other techniques, artistic projects for industries and large decorative panels. To set the stage for authentication of each painting and arrange them chronologically, we performed a large collection of documents and reviews published during the many exhibitions that Visconti participated. In addition, the author's individual characteristics - in terms of color, making, design and composition - seen in his works of authorship verified, once evident in other paintings, are the basis for its approval. Thus, there were 501 outstanding oil paintings, mostly verified and approved, in an Iconographic and Chronological List and, accompanied by their essential data and history; a symbol of characterization of the work, that sets in five variables: author, title, image, date and collection. Separately, more than 115 paintings are displayed, still in studies or non approved and accompanied by the same elements. Visconti reached a personal visual language harmonizing elements of their academic training with the trends of the late nineteenth century: pre-Raphaelitism, impressionism, symbolism, art nouveau. Thus, it was innovative and daring, without being disruptive or revolted

Full textAbstract:
In his thesis on Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Steinberg postulated the fundamental role of the spectator (object of the appealing gazes of the five young nudes in the painting) as the catalyst of the meanings in the painting. From then on new critical perspectives would speculate about this subject, targeted by the personages in the painting, who bears so much responsibility in articulating the interpretation of the scene. Doubts were raised about the universal character of the gaze, the universal character of the receptor of the work of art and of Modern Art. From the end of the 20th century and activated by the most recent methodological approaches such as feminism and post-colonialism, new critical voices provoked the breaching of the dominating gaze. This chapter broaches the interpretations of this paradigmatic work of Modern Art made by feminist and post-colonial and subaltern theories, questioning the very proposals of Modernism. Feminism shows how gender conditioning affects the reception of a work of art. And allied with this, post-colonialism and subaltern theory begin to seriously question the way historiography has considered, or not, the relevance of Art négre in the avant-guard eclosion.

Full textAbstract:
Ecclesiastical painting of the diaspora is considered as an integral part of the artistic tradition of Ukrainian religious culture. The artistic processes that took place in ecclesiastical painting against the background of historical and cultural changes in the Ukrainian diaspora in the second half of the XXth century are being analyzed. Attention is paid to important art objects located in the compact settlements of the communities of the Ukrainian Western Diaspora in Europe, Australia, the USA, and Canada. The role of transformational processes of ecclesiastical painting on the example of works of R. Hluvko, J. Hnizdovsky, M. Levytsky, O. Mazuryk, J. Novoselsky are being investigated. The analyzed works clearly demonstrate modernist changes in aesthetic landmarks almost in line with stylistic changes in European art. The issue of artistic features of ecclesiastical painting of the diaspora is critically covered. Problems of temple ensemble, modern stylistic directions of temple concepts, etc. are being singled out.

Full textAbstract:
Germany, France, Italy: the attribution of the first woodcut images has long been debated between several countries, to gain the technological primacy of the invention of reproductive printmaking, before Gutenberg’s movable type printing. Today we know how difficult it is, if not impossible, to establish a place and a date of origin of image printing in Europe. Impossible and probably unimportant. Printing was a European phenomenon in the 15th century, and we may ask ourselves whether a northern woodcut beyond the Italian borders was intended as something different than an Italian one. The contrast between northern and southern prints, which has been claimed by art historians from Vasari until the half of the 20th century, seems to be denied by early modern Italian sources. For example, a German woodcut from the first decades of the 15th century and a Florentine painting from the end of the 14th century can coexist as models for the illumination of the same manuscript. This unpublished case study of two Florentine 15th-century illuminations shows how a European cultural horizon was more common than we think today, and how much woodcut has been a fundamental tool for this broadening of horizons, since its very beginning.

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:
It was only in the early 20th century that the concept of ‘architect’, as defined in Europe, was introduced in Iran. During the nineteenth century, Iranian architects were traditional master builders (me’mars) who would learn architecture after years of working with a master. This unique change in the conception of architecture in Iran took place during the interwar period. In 1926, when Reza Shah founded the Pahlavi dynasty, his policies toward rapid modernisation transformed the way architectural design and practice was performed in Iran. Among Reza Shah’s earliest programs was the construction of numerous railway stations, extended from north to south, and for that, he invited Western-educated architects and European companies to Iran. The architecture of railway stations became one among the earliest examples of Iranian modern architecture, leading to the introduction of modern materials such as reinforced concrete to Iran. By considering Reza Shah’s nationalist policies and progressive agenda, this article investigates the architecture of railway stations, illuminating how their construction paved the way for the arrival of modern architecture and the development of construction technology in 1930s Iran.
