Aivalioti, Maria. "Le motif de l’ange dans la peinture symboliste européenne." Paris 10, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA100208.
Full textIn 1886, Jean Moréas gave to the symbolist movement its official identity. Symbolism became one of main movements which came over the borders of its birth country and it was embraced by artists coming from different countries. The symbolist artists didn’t invent new themes, but they elaborated the existent ones under their own prism. The religious subjects occupied a considerable role in their production. Furthermore they abandoned their religious aspect in order to express artist’s thoughts. Messengers, executors, jurists or protectors, often disqualified from their name, the angels, reappeared in the middle of XIX century and until the first decades of XX, established their place in the society which was searching for refuges. The present study, analysing the image of the angel, which is a recurrent motif in symbolist painters work, is going to present, via a typological and iconographical interpretation, the rapports, concerning the style and the thematic, among the European artists who were influenced by the symbolist movement in order to prove that the angel, because of its nature and its role, has become a iconographical emblem for the symbolist painters

Full textAndré des Gachons’s work is rooted in dreamlike and fantastic images which are often typical of the symbolist corpus. The prevailing elements are anti-naturalism, a poetic aura in contrast with a world full of anxiety. At this turning point in art history the artist played a major role and expressed himself in an original way in various fields such as painting, graphic or decorative arts. The decade during which he was most active testifies to an intense literary and artistic fermentation. If one wants to give evidence of the artist’s importance in Symbolism one only needs to go over his contribution to the little “ Revues” which attempted to unite aesthetics and the “fin de siècle “ spirit. Yet his identity as an artist is best defined through the illustration of books which reveal the object of his quest as well as the role he played in this complex movement

Full textThere are a lot of studies on the theme of water. However, they usually concern one aspect of aquatic symbolism and refer to the literature of one country or even a single author. Taking into account the existing research, I would like to present in a single study the comparative analysis of authors who have never been gathered in the context of the aquatic imagination.The choice of Polish and French-speaking area is not contingent. Polish modernism, for historical reasons, appeared later that the symbolism in western Europe. With this shift, he was inspired by writers such as Mallarmé, Verlaine, Baudelaire, or Maeterlinck and painters such as Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon. The analysis of these works seems a lot more interesting as it involves two languages and two cultures that include the symbol and express it in their own way.By searching literature and language, and applying different methods of analysis, I hope to have led to a thorough study of the works of French and Polish artists that will help better understand their imaginary worlds
Heyraud, Hélène. "Revoir le symbolisme pictural : le cas de Gustave Moreau : thème du féminin, style, réception critique." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2022. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-03685520.
Full textSymbolism is generally seen as a literary movement, unified by the theme of the feminine. However, painting occupies an important place in the symbolism construction and the theme of the feminine cannot be the only way to question this movement. This thesis proposes to question the dominant assumptions about this movement: the anteriority of literary symbolism over pictorial symbolism, the importance of the feminine theme in painting, the lack or even the absence of stylistic studies. The Symbolist corpus being vast, the painter Gustave Moreau is raised as an archetype of pictorial symbolism and is posed as the privileged case of this study. The thematic, stylistic, and quantitative studies of Gustave Moreau’s pictorial works allow to immediately qualify this supposed anteriority of literature, by showing that pictorial productions historically precede literary productions by three decades. From this singular corpus of paintings, the theme of the feminine is thus re-examined: is this theme dominant in Gustave Moreau's production? Once again, the idea according to which theme of the feminine founded Symbolism is challenged by the quantitative studies made on this corpus. If the theme of the feminine no longer appears fundamental, then the question of style arises. The stylistic study of Gustave Moreau’s work shows an innovative and singular painter, who will nevertheless be erased - like artworks in general - in the critical historiography of the movement. The analysis of the critical reception and historiography of Symbolism thus shows how artists, artworks and stylistics have been marginalized in favor of literary, poetic, and philosophical thought of Symbolism

Full textAnalysis of Brazilian painter Rodolpho Amoêdo’s (1857-1941) career path and works who earned a grant from Brazilian Imperial Academy of Fine Arts to stay in Paris between 1879 and 1887. Exposure to French contemporary art but also to that of the XVIIIth century, at the beginning, Amoêdo is influenced by French painters like Gustave Boulanger and Alexandre Cabanel, his first professors. At the end of his Paris stay, he gets closer to Puvis de Chavannes. His paintings become lighter, in a pre-symbolist style. Back to Brazil, in 1888, he is fond of literature and takes part to several societies founded by famous writers in Rio de Janeiro. His paintings, academic in their style but romantic in their environment, become more realistic and include greater personal and psychological dimensions. Occurrences of modern ladies in his works are more frequent : his works are closer to James Tissot’s ones. However, they encompass theatrical aspects which make them unique at the general organization level as well as at the direction of characters. His views about art were also founded on his deep knowledge of painting techniques and on positivism. Comments and critical analysis of works presented by the artist at exhibitions in Paris or at local or international exhibitions in Brazil. As a devoted professor at Rio de Janeiro School of Fine Arts, he worked directly for developing art in Brazil, especially during the transition period between XIXth century academic art and XXth century modern art

Full textIn 1869, when a student at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Luc-Olivier Merson received the Rome Prize in history painting. The award allowed him to complete his training with four years of study in Italy. A well-known artist in his own time, Merson showed regularly at the Paris Salon before broadening the scope of his creative activity to include decorative painting and illustration. Beyond his taste for monumental painting, he evinced a keen interest in religious art, whose conventions he overturned, making use of recondite iconographic sources and unusual subjects. Suspended between Academism and Symbolism, Merson displayed a penchant for drawing, always privileging line, even as he maintained a subtle and refined sense of color. Having emerged from the shadow of his father, the art critic Olivier Merson, and endowed his work with a self-conscious archaism and idealism, Luc-Olivier Merson might justly be classed among the precursors of Symbolism. By studying the life and work of Merson, we may come to understand the aesthetic choices and the audacity of an artist too often—and too hastily—termed “Pompier” in twentieth-century art historiography
De, Palma Myriam. "Maurice Chabas (1862-1947) : du symbolisme à l'abstraction : essai et catalogue raisonné." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040145.
Full textThe aesthetic quality and the extent of the work accomplished by Maurice Chabas as well as his evolution of thinking have focused our interest for this important artist, unfairly forgotten in the symbolist movement. All through his artwork, Maurice Chabas searched a spiritual quest which he translated through his paintings into a noble and serene harmony. His imagination and desire to innovate led him to diversify his technique through a purification and simplification of the form. At the beginning, his work was academic but expressed rapidly symbolic tendencies reminding Puvis de Chavannes. Maurice Chabas was a fervent defendant of the Rose+Croix. He participated in all their art exhibitions. Later, the artist was also tempted to investigate the techniques of impressionism and synthetic art. At the end of his career, his work became gradually more esotheric, bright and colourful. This style of work conducted him to abstraction which (he thought) will provide the ways to the "mysteries" of the Christian religion. One of the primary objectives of this thesis has been to establish a biography of Maurice Chabas. Our aim was also to provide a study of his theoritical artistic principles and an analytical investigation of his work. To highlight the personality of Maurice Chabas and the magnitude of his work, we currently referred to his personal documents, press artcles and exhibitions catalogues. The second part of this thesis is aiming to establish, to the largest possible extent, an inventory of his paintings, work orders and writings. This study is covered by the reasoned catalogue of the artist

Full textThe purpose of this research is to clarify the abstract language, white evolving around the work of Paul Paul Klee. This study will also deal with various themes and symbols reappearing in his work whose rich variety is due among other things to his personality and his choice of expressing the unity behind several artistic movements. Another reason for his multiple pictorial expressions lies in his intention to exercise all the components of painting and the diversity of their associations. In doing so, his personal synthesis is fully illustrated by his practice and theory. A true disciple of the modernist spirit of creation, his main idea was to employ while exploring it a new type of pictorial space focusing on the psychological and philosophical levels. By choosing specifically 18 paintings, out aim is to throw light on his approach towards colour, line and symbol (and from in general), and their interaction. This will enable us to show the functioning of the artistic language, playing its role between verbal and visual language. Our purpose is finally, to keep in sight a unique view point white referring to content and innovation, and all the same to obtain a wider scope and new keys for the comprehension of creation as a whole
Symington, Micéala. "Critique de la peinture chez les symbolistes : domaines français et anglais : pour une approche poétique." Paris 3, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA030163.
Full textIn the history of art criticism, the symbolist period marks a turning point: previously simple commentary, critical discourse becomes poetical recreation. The work of art could even be said to be truly accomplished or surpassed in the critical work. Symbolist criticism thus stakes a claim to the realisation of the essence of art criticism which, unlike literary criticism, has the task of transforming the written word into visual sensation, of creating an image through discourse. In the hierarchy of the arts, pictorial criticism, the synaesthetic art of the synthesis of the arts, emerges as the supreme form. As a resymbolisation of the pictorial work, it is defined by a subject which is itself symbolic and takes the poetical symbol to its highest level of purity. Wilde, who follows in baudelaire's footsteps; mallarme, who brings about major change by placing the symbol at the heart of art criticism; symons, who introduces mallarme to an english readership; huysmans and moore, who combine criticism and the novel: these are the writers at the centre of this study

The discovery of prehistoric, african and oceanian paintings and sculptures, the reevaluation of roman and gothic paintings from italy and france are the main elements of a real revolution in taste and theory. Such major artists as gauguin, matisse, derain and picasso find in these ancient or exotic works their ground inspiration and are able to build a new conception of representation and expression, against the academic rules and the tradition born from impressionnism

Full textA diagonal approach to the social sphere. This research is situated at the heart of cultural and artistic creations of value. To do this we have traced the history of the image in the western world and have seen how the theology of the incarnation of christ was spread visually. Thus was determined western epistemology and culture. Our hypothesis proposes that the image in a modem context is not independent from this conception of the image. Contemporary art re-examines the problems of visual representation and through this metaphor we can find a symbolic value for images; a value which today's technical or idol-images no longer have. Throughout our work we take into account the mirror in painting and face the essential anthropological questions of the self, the selfs other, and the self in relation to the outside world, the visual world and the object. This is a sociological undertaking hence it draws from the social sciences; psychoanalysis, epistemology, and history have allowed us to build models which advance our understanding of the social sphere and of cultures

Full textIn 1867, history painting may seem to be on the decline but, actually, it may have never been, in the XIXth century at the very least, so dynamic than it was between this date and 1900. In theory first, this genre assailed by modernity is constantly redefining itself since it has already opened to the peasant (1830-1860) and soon includes the labour (1880-1890). Above all , the progressive emergence of the notion of decoration saps its foundations as well as it aims at robbing it of its precedence : at the end of the battle which is fought, history painting, reoriented towards its content (the topic, the story) experiences the loss of its formal raison d’être –style, plastic- fallen to decoration. At the time of the return of painting towards itself, towards its constituents, this comes down to definitely downgrading history painting in contemporary creation. The richness of these questionings about the beginning of the great genre is also conveyed, in practice, at forms level - what Matisse would have called the “sens majeur”, by a proliferation of conflicting stylistic trends : between 1860 and 1880, Bouguereau and Cabanel’s Raphaelesque classicism responds to the anti-classicism of Moreau and his spiritual sons, colourists or drawers ; whilst, from 1875 to 1900, the director-like realism developed by Gérôme, Laurens then by Rochegrosse and Tattegrain is systematically disavowed by a more elegiac (Henner), literary (Fantin-Latour) indeed mural trend (Martin). The final contributors to history painting already seem to have decorator souls - and it is as such that Martin will actually go down to posterity, but finally, these decorators of the early part of the XXth century could definitely be seen as the direct heirs of those who, a few decades earlier, were called “history painters” : in both cases one aspires to a synthesis and the Italian tradition of fresco painters is perpetuated. The “grand goût” will have survived its cause

Full textOur research deals with the uniqueness of the american vision in the first half of the nineteenth century and underlines both the common and singular symbols of the pictural and verbal images, which simulteanously flavoured the works of the leading painters and writers in north america from 1810 to 1865. As a matter of fact, the american dream is sustained by an extraordinary coincidence between literature and painting, a kinship that has only been pratly studied. The aim of this thesis is to investigate very carefully the close parallels between the two arts in order to understand the genesis of that great imaginary world. The first part proposes to consider the friendships, the theories, the tools and places of work which bound painters and writers. Then, the second part reveals how these men borrowed so freely from eac h others. Finally, the third part focuses on the symmetrical and original symbols incorporated in the written and painted compositions. At last, and from what has been discussed, the conclusion may be drawn that all these creators sought and developed the same vivif unique picture, the one of the new world

Full textIn the shape of tangible appearance that things are keeping when they are scrupulously described on the pictures of Flemish painting at the glorious time of the Burgundian, four dukes, whose sumptuousness they show, another reality is lurking, deeply religious. We, then, can see the latter has, mostly, been traced back to mediaeval, mystic philosophy and is bearing the stamp of latent anxiety that the fifteenth century has entertained concerning life, an aspect that art has expressed with strong, meaningful pictures. It is noteworthy that, in addition to the choice of things, the attitude of figures, the selection of flowers and animals, the architectural and sculptural background, the great role granted to light go to prove that the radiance of real, as beautiful as a setting sun, is only the symbol of another truth whose name is god. While it lets people guess the awful drama that Burgundy is to live through, and, above all, the many changes that are going to obsess the imaginations of the inhabitants who are living in that period intervening between the middle-ages and renaissance, art lets appear the lively faith of those who ordered the pictures in a happier future that doesn't belong to the world on earth

Full textThis study focuses on the representation of the deformation of the human body, arguing that these examples of physical deformity have eventually engendered new research and artistic transgressions that characterise nineteenth century France.The works of Hugo and Ingres are focused upon on account of the symbolic richness derived from them with regard to the deformation of the human body, and the confluence of several mythological traditions. For the study of deformed bodies and their role in Hugo's cosmogony, we will use a similar analogous cosmogony: that of Dante Alighieri, which was able to feed the Hugolian imagination and to which we add the existential labyrinth. Methodologically, this analysis will be made by reading the space proposed by Greimas. Orthogonal axes are marked by characters in establishing specific locations that indicate a language to decipher. Regarding the work of Ingres, our goal is to highlight the deformation of the body as a work of aesthetics for the revelation of plastic beauty. Anatomical deformation already characterises his first masculine characters and mark still further his female figures which we have studied in more detail. To refine this approach we have established some relationships with other painters such as David, Ingres' Master, and with his friends the sculptors Lorenzo Bartolini, James Pradier and also with writers such as Théophile Gautier and Hugo. This research is based on several theoretical sources, they are essential to orient this rich universe of references to the Antique, the mythological, the religious, the sacred, the political, the social, the arts, and fantasy. This is why Phidias, Vitruvius, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jorge Luis Borges, Mircea Eliade, Lévi-Strauss, Michel Foucault, Umberto Eco among others are also discussed to help the understanding of our study

Full textIn Paris around 1900, a generation of young artists, influenced by a variety of currents, such as Gothic Revival or Symbolism, shared a similar artistic outlook. Henri Bellery-Desfontaines (1867-1909) was part of that generation of artists who began their careers as painters, often aiming for careers in mural painting, and quickly showed an interest in the decorative arts, seduced by the idea of a total art. He started in Pierre-Victor Galland’s workshop, where he learned decoration; then in 1890, he entered Jean-Pierre Laurens’ one at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris. At the same time, he started decorating the staff room at the Hôpital de la Charité where he befriended a group of young doctors who would subsequently follow his entire career. Then, he illustrated artistic magazines and somes books. But his artistic preferences gradually shifted from painting to the decorative arts. He started designing carpets and a few pieces of furniture. Then, with the support of a few wealthy patrons, Bellery-Desfontaines began designing increasingly ambitious complete interiors, focus on the notion of total art. Towards the end of his life he took a more active part in the debate over the decorative arts, which was a hallmark of the period. His vast artistic legacy is both influential and eclectic, yet remains little known. Bellery-Desfontaines was a complete artist, as were many of the artists at the time. An idealist, whose ambition was to make art for every day life, he died abruptly at the age of forty two, far too young to complete his career and achieve fame, for many of his project remained unfinished

Full textThe Garden of Paradise of Frankfurt is such a perfect representative of all the Gardens of Paradise of the Middle Ages that it is currently known by the name of Paradiesgärtlein. This study brings its contribution to the research upon this painting, which is so often reproduced, by examining it closely focusing on the twenty flower species which bloom among mysterious characters and the thirteen birds that animate the garden. Blending art history, theology, etymology, aetiological tales and legends makes it possible to throw a fresh light upon much debated points. The identification of the musician as Saint Catherine of Alexandria and of the young man standing as Saint Oswald is thereby ascertained. The study of the flowers and the birds also brings information about the Alsatian Master, certainly a miniaturist at the start and most probably a disciple of John Siferwas. The destination of this small devotional panel which turned out to be a seminal work is also brought into light. It might very well be a gift from Catherine of Burgundy to the Dominican nun Claranna of Hohenburg, prioress at Schoenensteinbach, the first reformed Dominican Nunnery in the province of Teutony
Das Frankfurter Paradiesgärtlein stellt den mittelalterlichen Paradiesgarten schlechthin dar : der Titel Paradiesgärtlein verweist eindeutig auf dieses Werk. Die vorliegende Dissertation rundet vorhandene Studien ab, indem sie es unter dem Blickwinkel der zwanzig Pflanzen untersucht, die zwischen rätselhaften Figuren blühen, und auch der dreizehn Vögel, die den Garten beseelen. Kunstgeschichte, Theologie, Etymologie, ätiologische Erzählungen, Märchen und Legenden kreuzen und ergänzen sich mit dem Ziel, umstrittene Details neu zu beleuchten. Hiermit erfährt insbesondere die Identifizierung der Psalterspielerin mit Katharina von Alexandrien und des stehenden Jünglings mit Oswald Verstärkung. Blumen und Vögel lüften auch einen Teil des Geheimnisses, das den zweifellos aus der Welt der Buchmalerei stammenden elsässischen Meister – der womöglich bei John Siferwas sein Handwerk erlernte – aber auch den Empfänger dieses einflussreichen, oft gedruckten Votivtäfelchens umwebt: Es könnte sich wohl um ein Geschenk handeln, von Katharina von Burgund nämlich an die Dominikanerin Claranna von Hohenburg, Priorin in Schönensteinbach, dem ersten reformierten Konvent der Provinz Teutonien

Full textTrees often appear in the backgrounds of British portraits from 1709 to 1792. At the same time, they come under unprecedented scrutiny in economic, social, patriotic, political, artistic and scientific discourse. This research explores the specificity of the representation of trees in British portraits of the eighteenth century by establishing a link between the texts and the images of the period. Trees are undeniably considered as key elements in a representational process that aims primarily at staging cultural, social and economic identity by stressing values shared by many members of the 'polite classes'. Moreover, trees are at the heart of several myths that contribute to a new definition of national and political identity and this too impacts on portraits. Ultimately, however, the representation and physical aspect of trees also depend on individual interest in the scientific, philosophical or artistic theories of the time, and on the way the artist or the sitter understands the depiction of identity through art and the very nature of a work of art

Full textThis work aims to trace a parallel between the pictorial Symbolism in Russia and in France during the years 1890s-1910s. It starts with a synthesis of the sources of knowledge (collections, exhibitions, periodicals), a summery of direct exchanges (artist's trips, contacts, collaboration) and a study of the critical fortune of several French painters (Moreau, Puvis de Chavannes, Carriere, Redon, Gauguin, Denis and the Nabis, the representatives of the idealist symbolism). After this documentary part follows an analysis of works of different Russian symbolist artists which have as a goal to detect the French contribution indicating at the same time the presence of other sources. The Abramtsevo circle, "The wold of art" group, the great solitary masters (Vroubel, Borrisov-Moussatov, Ciurlionis), the "The Blue Rose" group and the heralds of the XXth century art (Petrov-Vodkine, Malevitch, Kandisky)-these are the phenomena compared to the French Symbolism

Full textEdouard Dujardin (1861-1949), the founder of Revue wagnérienne (the Wagnerian Journal) and Revue Indépendante de littérature et d’art (the independent journal of literature and art) has not only been a theoretician on symbolism but also a practitioner. His literary work between 1885 and 1893 explores verse as well as prose and traces back its questionings. Being resolutely engaged in the avant-Garde, it does not only tackle the structure of realism but also questions the model of mimesis in a sort of formal and intense research. It thus happens that Dujardin’s literary work testifies, in an exemplary way for that matter, to the crisis in verse that the literary universe was undergoing. Genres, forms and confrontations of different forms of arts define this course in three parts which does not follow a linear plan nor a chronological one but rather a specific questioning determined by each literary work. This is the reason why we started by studying his drama which raised the question of the character’s identity. The name of Antonia was thus used as a thread to tackle the relationship between prose and verse, as shown in the poem in prose or in free verse.In a second part, we questioned the forms-The poetic prose of his short stories and of his novel- which partly fulfil the criteria of the poem in verse. Lastly, in the context of the confrontation between the different types of arts, we focused on the text viewed as a phenomenon- Les Lauriers sont coupes- considered by critics as a form of “stream of consciousness” then on the connection between poetry and music through the study of the work Litanies, “mélopées” for piano and song, which confronts poem and music

Full textThe suggestive mythical and legendary figure holds a central position in the aesthetic of European symbolism at the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th century. This doctoral thesis proposes to study its apparition and function in the works of three distinguished representatives: Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898, France), William Butler Yeats (1865–1939, Ireland) and Stefan George (1868–1933, Germany). A look on contemporary society (arts, scientific discoveries) will allow discovering the place due to myth and legend. Beyond their differences, affinities and personal contacts bring these poets closer together. Two generations of symbolists, speaking different languages, join in one and the same view on poetical creation. Poetic works (poetry, prose and theatre), theoretical texts, letters and conversations reveal joint approach to image and myth: the mythical and legendary figure takes shape among dreams and vision, reminiscence, musical evocation and literary symbol. A personal theory emerges from speech on myth. Poetry and drama draw from the heterogeneous sources of various traditions, enriching with philosophy, religion, psychology, occultism and private experience. Transposition of art conveys the mythical text of the painted subject or is contaminated by it. Hence a compound link from text to painting (or sculpture). Explicit in the poet’s early work, mythical and legendary figure will go through multiple metamorphosis: synthetic, it melts the different versions of a myth with traditions from far away, it superimposes mythical figures and facts on others taken from history and contemporary reality. Implicit, it will be present as a trace, a common noun, a pronoun, a qualifying adjective, or a gesture. Great diversity of forms provides him power of radiation. Flexibility of form and content matches with diversity of functions: the mythical figure lends itself to every stylistic figure and grammatical function. This way it creates cohesion within the work and contributes intimately to the construction of sense. Contamination affects all the mythopoetic work. Around these figures a constellation of images forms and produces a new anthropocentric myth, summarizing and going beyond traditions. Hoard of images for future creations in the beginning (Yeats), the poet’s work actually comes up to a bid far more ambitious: give an answer to the quest for sense of history and life of modern man who doesn’t believe in God any more, and draw the outline of a new society. Mythical and legendary figure represent the essential element of poetic creation
Die mythische und legendäre Gestalt nimmt in der Ästhetik des europäischen Symbolismus (Ende des 19. – Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts) eine zentrale Position ein. Diese Doktorarbeit stellt sich zur Aufgabe, ihr Vorkommen und ihre Funktion in den Werken von drei bedeutenden Vertretern zu untersuchen: Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898, Frankreich), William Butler Yeats (1865–1939, Irland), Stefan George (1968-1933, Deutschland). Ein Blick auf die zeitgenössische Gesellschaft (Kunst, wissenschaftliche Entdeckungen) ermöglicht es, herauszustellen, welche Stellung Mythos und Legende zufällt. Über alle Unterschiede hinaus sind sich die drei Dichter durch gemeinsame Interessen und persönliche Kontakte nahe. Symbolisten zweier Generationen und aus verschiedenen Sprachbereichen stimmen miteinander in dergleichen Auffassung von dichterischer Schöpfung überein. Dichterische Werke (Lyrik, Prosa, Theater), theoretische Schriften, Briefwechsel und Unterhaltungen lassen eine miteinander verbundene Betrachtungsweise von Bild und Mythos erkennen: die mythische und legendäre Gestalt nimmt Form an zwischen Traum und Vision, Erinnerung, musikalischer Evokation und literarischem Symbol. Aus der Rede über den Mythos geht eine persönliche Theorie hervor. Lyrik und Drama schöpfen aus den Quellen der heterogenen Traditionen, werden durch Philosophie, Religion, Okkultismus, Psychologie und intime Erfahrung bereichert. Die Übertragung bildender Kunst in Dichtung ("transposition d’art") vermittelt den im Gemälde zugrunde liegenden mythischen Text oder wird von ihm kontaminiert. Dadurch entsteht eine komplexe Beziehung zwischen Text und Malerei (oder Skulptur). Die mythische und legendäre Gestalt, in den Jugendwerken eindeutig erkennbar, erfährt später vielfältige Metamorphosen: synkretistisch verschmilzt sie die Varianten eines Mythos mit entfernten Traditionen, überlagert mythische Gestalten und Ereignisse mit reellen, historischen, zeitgenössischen. Implizit ist sie präsent in Form von Spuren, in der Abstraktion von Nomen, Pronomen, Adjektiv oder in einer Geste. Der große Formenreichtum sichert ihre Ausstrahlungskraft. Der Flexibilität von Form und Inhalt entspricht die Vielfalt der Funktionen: die mythische Gestalt passt sich jeder Stilfigur und jeder grammatischen Funktion an. Sie schafft somit die Geschlossenheit eines Werkes und nimmt im Innersten an der Sinnkonstruktion teil. Die Kontamination greift auf das ganze mythopoetische Werk über. Um die Gestalten herum bildet sich eine Konstellation von Bildern, die einen neuen anthropozentischen Mythos hervorbringt, der die Traditionen zusammenfasst und übertrifft. Zunächst „Bilderreservoir“ (Yeats) für zukünftige dichterische Schöpfungen, verfolgt das Werk der Dichter in Wirklichkeit einen viel ambitiöseren Versuch: auf die Frage nach dem Sinn in der Geschichte und im Leben des modernen Menschen, der nicht mehr an Gott glaubt, eine Antwort geben und die Konturen einer neuen Gesellschaft skizzieren. Die mythische oder legendäre Gestalt ist wesentliche Konstituente der Dichtung

Full textThis research attempts to determine how the implementation of systems and processes in artistic work carries with it an attitude. This attitude, which arises from the use of imported colour or ready-made colour, implies thinking of colour as a practice, modifying the artist's position and looking at painting as the creation of "objects over there" that have to fit among other everyday objects. Thus this research gives an account of displacements that, initiated by the use of industrial colour or that of common objects, create a back-and-forth movement between the viewer, the painting and the world, and make a new sharing of vision possible

Full textThis thesis starts from an 1990 Florentine exhibition called “Pittura di luce” which intended to identify a trend in the mid-15th-century Florentine painting. This “painting of light” is not only, as was said at the time, a “coloured style” led by Fra Angelico and Domenico Veneziano, but it should be extended to a more “white manner”, from Masaccio to the first works of Andrea del Verrocchio, in the early 1470s. The technical and symbolical meanings of this style are to be studied as they reinforce the sense and the coherence of a trend publicly sustained by the Medici. The major aim of the “pittura di luce” is to make “emerge” religious paintings from the darkness of the churches (I). The study of the vast but also discontinuous geographical development of this “bright style” amplifies the hypotheses of the Florentine case: as much as a modern way of painting, it has very often a more archaic connotation of divine light. Piero della Francesca is surely the major figure of this ambivalent development (II). He is also one of the most significant examples of the way in which the “pittura di luce” was forgotten, and then rediscovered during the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks to art historians and artists, but also to the changes of the conditions of vision of the works of art. In this sense, the “pittura di luce” is an important chapter of the history of look, that we propose to compare with other rediscoveries of similar “paintings of apparition” (III)

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to advance a study on an already existing scientific debate concerning the painting of Frangos Catellanos, a famous artist of the sixteenth century, whose personage at the same time remains obscure due to the lack of sources. The frescoes of the adjacent chapel to Megisti Lavra, Hagios Nicholaos (1560) are the only ones signed by him. The iconographical and stylistic analyses of these frescoes proves that the Theban painter succeeded in applying a new pictorial language which responded exactly to the demands of the imminent modes that resulted from the then developing historical circumstances in Epirus and northwest Macedonia, where the artist was painting. Following, there is an attempt to trace the evolution of Frangos Catellanos 'art by considering all his works. This hypothetical reconstruction which takes into consideration all his evolving styles aims to define the very personal pictorial vocabulary developed by the artist

Full textRenaissance Venetian paintings include many servants, who often escape the notice of those who view them. A systematic statistical inventory of those servant figures and their grouping into different categories have made it obvious that those figures are hardly ever realistic or decorative but are most of the time an integral part of a symbolic system focusing on their masters' place in society and of the elite's conception of its social role, in particular during the more aristocratic second half of the sixteenth century. On the other hand, servant figures may be used to express views on varied subjects, either literary, theological or political, or even with an artistic or satirical goal in mind. Indeed, servants, figures of the popolo, have a legitimate place in pictorial representation in a city such as Venice where the Patricians like to think of the community as united. The systematic study of servants in painting has also led to a new questioning of well-known works when they include servant figures which differ from traditional or contemporary norms. The study of those discrepancies has shed a new light on those works by Carpaccio, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese

Full textThe general aim of the dissertation was to understand why the genre painting is still regarded as a minor style and lacks proper interpretation. We first look at the emergence of the genre painting, in the years 1580 and the innovative work of Vincenzo Campi, Bartolomeo Passerotti, and Annibale Carracci in North Italia. We then question the function of food in the genre painting as this style was mainly representing market, butchery, kitchen, and meal scenes. All these subjets show food and expose characters whom movement are organized by food. Therefore, the dissertation proposes a reflection on the importance of food in the beginning of the genre painting, by showing that both the presence and the pictorial treatment of food give rise to the materialization of the painted image. In the Cinquecento, the genre painting is an area of freedom, a place of theoretical thinking on art, in wich representingfood is a critical practice of painting

Full textOutre ces considérations historiques, le rapprochement souhaité entre les deux groupes fut tel que la production littéraire ne put qu’être influencée par les théories des Nabis. La tendance "formaliste" représentée par ce groupe pictural a souvent conduit les chercheurs à prendre acte de l'autonomie tant du littéraire que du pictural dans les échanges entre Nabis et écrivains. Les influences sont cependant nombreuses de la peinture vers la littérature. Il est toutefois nécessaire de prendre en compte des écrivains oubliés par l'histoire littéraire, tels Romain Coolus, Gabriel Trarieux ou Louis Lormel, pour percevoir les effets de cette influence picturale. La reprise d'un dispositif de couleurs, exaltées ou déformées, le jeu poétique sur le thème de la ligne ou de l'arabesque fondent une recherche d'effet visuel dans l'écriture qui entend renouveler les images poétiques. Ce constat entre en résonance avec la rénovation picturale revendiquée par les Nabis. Des esthétiques communes entre peintres et écrivains, tournant autour des notions de synthèse, simplicité, de la référence à l'enfance ou à la fantaisie humoristique rassemblent Nabis et poètes qui les soutiennent dans une communauté d'initiés à l'art nouveau.

Full textThe portrait-charge defines itself at the crossroads of historical, anthropological and philosophical disciplines, on the hypothesis of going beyond caricature history into an anthropology of charge. On the one hand, this implies re-examining caricature on the basis of the operations to which it submits the effigy in mobilizing a pragmatic conception of the instance of the viewer. On the other hand, this implies reconceiving the notion of charge, by questionning its status and implementation as well as its various relationships with social practices, beliefs, law, and theology. The general framework of this thesis is the study of the afflictive portrait from the Renaissance up to the threshold of the baroque period. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the charge of images in the perspective of a figurability of outragous and infamous practices. The next step is to assess an element of ambiguity and derision within an aggressive use of the image. The phenomenon of derision is indeed one of the most complex, if one does not strip its individual and social manifestations of its theological implication. Linking caricature to this phenomenon does not simply mean to see in it the opposite of an aesthetic and heroic ideal, but also and above aIl, one of the major forms of comic inversion

Full textFor Lacan, the notion of “the opening” is not a psychoanalytic concept. This term encompasses several different expressions and ideas, which, in Lacan’s thought, relate to holes, gaps, and unsurpassable distances. In the early nineteen-fifties, Lacan uses the word béance—a gaping hole—when he articulates his first hypothesis regarding symbolic absence. Thus, béance is the first word that contributes to Lacan’s lexicon concerning openings. In following seminars, other forms of openings appear. First, the space of the tomb, a concept Lacan addresses in his reading of the death of Oedipus, in his analysis of Antigone, and in his treatment of Hamlet. In these two tragedies by Sophocles, and in Shakespeare’s play, Lacan discoversan opening that allows him to envision modifications to the theories of subject and object in psychoanalysis. After this analysis of the grave, empty space occupies a central place in Lacan’s thought. In his discussion of Antigone, where Lacan broaches the subject of Freud’s “Thing”, and in his first treatment of the objet petit a, the question of openings is approached through art history. This project explores the intersections of psychoanalysis, literature, and art history and examines the space between the subject and the object of its desire. In doing so, the study furthers the work Lacan began in the late nineteen-fifties on the birth of linear perspective and the vanitas in painting. These preliminary explorations of the theme of the opening in psychoanalysis led Lacan, in his later work, to approach the idea of the opening through topology. The present study can be understood as a regrouping of the preliminary instances where openings and their mathematical formalizations appear in Lacan’s work

The analysis of my artistic creation, my culture, my multiple identities and my influences in the light of the legacy of the Silk Road and the road of the creation. The crossing of the Silk Road is structured around four themes : the meeting, contact. The crossing and the border. The research led me on a messianic trip, in the aim of finding answers to the questions that concern me : how the Silk Road influences artistic creation, is it a source of creativity? How can it be in the works of contemporary artists? How it emerges on my artistic creation? To answer these questions, I presented my band as a figure, which binds me to my multiple origins. In the first chapter I will analyze the concept of identity through the portraits of the band, then I will look into the notion of border visible and invisible. In the third chapter, I will analyze the touch, the taste and the crossing with the Silk Road. Finally, I will examine the context of interior landscapes and I will try to demonstrate the hidden legacy as well as the secrets of the local art impregnated in the culture of our region through crosses and cultural mixes

Full textThe present research work focuses on the painted portrait and the opportunity it offers to meet people and exchange moments of friendship. It aims at analyzing what is at stakes in this process by means of theoretical tools such as psychology and psychoanalysis. It is also concerned with the understanding of how this «hand to hand» and «presence to presence» practice gets its anchorage in time and how it unfolds it and refers to it. The get together process, as well as my own practice, are the expression of desire – desire of the Other. Each of my paintings is an attempt to answer this single question: «How would the person posing for me like to be painted?». Then, as if guided by his or her wish, my brushes enter into action in order to fulfill it to the best of my abilities – the task is of course impossible, because language implies a loss and gets us apart from one another. Each of us sees oneself as unique, for we are separated from each other: we are indeed surrounded by emptiness. The Other and emptiness don’t belong to the outside, they are part of ourselves. In the field of psychoanalysis, we manage to find our unity through imagination. Psychoanalysis, meditation, alchemy and painting have all in common to be based on practice. Each of these disciplines deals with insight in its own way: in the end they all benefit from each other

The sense of beauty in coastal nature which in fact differs from the sense of nature as a whole as much as it incorporates it is not set. Its evolution which is perceptible through choice of themes and through the iconographic styles is determined by the social and political context. Our investigation is based on three historical periods: a republican, post republican and vespasian, one corresponding to the three decorative Pompeian styles: the second, the third and the fourth. Throughout these periods, coastal landscapes involve a fundamental symbolisation of cosmic nature and of the ideological structure which allow an interpretation of the universe

Full textThere are nowadays many studies about aristocratic houses and their decoration. This study on decoration was achieved from the huge corpus of seignorial residences dated between the 13th and the 16th Centuries in the region of Viennois and Grésivaudan where a number of seignorial residences was found. Fifty-three selected sites gathered from a wide investigation were organized in two ways: firstly by documentary research in the archives, the libraries and the center of document resource, secondly by intervention in the studied area. This research focused on different categories of decoration: architectural, figurative, sculptural and painted decor. The research aims to establish the corpus of seigniorial residences which will enable it to study the entire decorative aspect of the selected sites. This will also allow for a new perspective of aristocratic house research.The castles and the fortified manor houses are known today as the existing aristocratic accommodation, which are in quite a large number and are unique in their architectural elements. The similarity of the two seignorial residences lies in their architectural characteristics. The quantity of them allows for an extension of the research framework for determining a sufficient number in terms of the studied sites. On the contrary, the difference of status between the castles and the fortified manor houses permits a comparison of their decorative aspects. Le Dauphiné has a great number of seignorial residences. The territory of Grésivaudan has been recognized for suitable settlement with fertile land in the mountains of Chartreuse and Belledonne. As for Viennois, this territory has a geographical variation which caused different characteristics of houses. Moreover, the history of Dauphiné presents a long period of independence with the succession of several Counts. The conquest policy was applied for defending the enemies in the surrounding areas and also for conquering more land. A great number of seignorial residences was included in this research. The study period from the 13th to the 16th Centuries is known as the transitional time from the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Renaissance, there were many changes in different domains. These changes reflect the evolution of the decoration of aristocratic houses. The study of decoration of the respective seignorial residences will enable us to learn about the characteristics of the architectural and figurative decoration. Understanding the architectural decor involves a study of the architectural elements: doors, windows, turrets, watch-turrets, brattices, arrow holes and chimneys. The figurative decoration means a study of figurative presentation. The elements concerned are painting motifs and mural painting, sculptural motifs and figures. Molding in architectural decor emphasizes the structure of decorative elements. The frames of the doors and windows can be noticed by volumetric and symmetrical effects which can be seen on the lintel and the lower part of the frames of the structure. The appearance of sculpted shields above the doors and windows help complete the decorative aspect of the elements. The chimney has the same decorative effect but the molded decor would be on the upper part and the corbel or side posts. As for the figurative decoration, the presence of different figures like trees, animals, men create an in-depth dimension and more narration or a narrative scene. The painting motifs and the mural painting form a narrative which show a series of pictures which tell the sequence of an event or several successive scenes. Besides, as the corpus of the research assembles a great number of several types of decoration dating from 13th to 16th Centuries, it consequently reflects a stylistic evolution of decorative elements

Full textLa thèse se compose de cinq chapitres. Le premier établit une biographie complète, sélective et chronologique, se basant sur les sources livrées par les archives de la ville de Louvain. Leur interprétation critique renouvelée et enrichie livre ainsi de nombreux arguments pour mieux définir l’individualité d’Albrecht Bouts et justifier le développement de sa carrière.
Le second chapitre concerne l’étude de l’œuvre d’Albrecht Bouts et débute par un examen approfondi de la seule peinture au caractère autographe reconnu, le Triptyque de l’Assomption de la Vierge. L’examen combiné du style et de la technique d’exécution de cette œuvre de maturité du maître permet de mettre en exergue les influences de Dirk Bouts et d’Hugo van der Goes et de définir la personnalité artistique singulière d’Albrecht Bouts. Suite à cette analyse, le catalogue de son œuvre est reconstitué de façon linéaire, depuis sa genèse jusqu’à son terme. Chacune des peintures qui lui sont attribuées est ensuite étudiée de façon chronologique et détaillée, précédée d’une notice technique préliminaire reprenant les données matérielles et bibliographiques, dans le cinquième chapitre consacré au catalogue raisonné.
La révision du corpus de l’œuvre d’Albrecht Bouts est fondée sur un travail d’attribution reposant à la fois sur l’approche stylistique traditionnelle et sur les résultats fournis par les documents de laboratoire. Une importante documentation photographique et technologique des œuvres, dont certaines inédites, a ainsi été rassemblée et sa confrontation constitue un support essentiel à la démonstration.
Le troisième chapitre propose, à partir des hypothèses émises à propos de la biographie et du catalogue des œuvres d’Albrecht Bouts, une analyse de la production de son atelier, particulièrement intense à partir de la première décennie du XVIe siècle. Dans cette partie, l’objectif n’est pas d’établir un exposé circonstancié et complet de chaque peinture abordée, mais plutôt de rassembler des groupes cohérents d’œuvres, également fondés sur une approche combinée du style et de la technique d’exécution. Un même principe de renvoi aux notices dans le catalogue raisonné est adopté.
Enfin, le quatrième chapitre est consacré à la réalisation en série d’œuvres de dévotion privée dans l’atelier du maître. De nombreuses généralités et quelques études ponctuelles ont préparé le terrain, annonçant l’importance de ce phénomène sans, toutefois, en mesurer l’ampleur. C’est pourquoi, nous lui accorderons une investigation la plus exhaustive tant sur les pratiques en vigueur dans l’atelier, que sur l’iconographique et le contexte socio-économique de la création de prototypes par Albrecht, dans la foulée de l’héritage des modèles paternels.
Ainsi, ce travail permettra de mieux cerner la personnalité d’Albrecht Bouts, de retracer son individualité artistique, mais aussi de réévaluer la participation de son atelier, afin de rétablir chacun de ces éléments à leur juste place au sein de la peinture flamande de la fin du XVe siècle et du début du XVIe siècle
The subject of the thesis is to establish a critical catalogue of Albrecht Bouts’ (1451-55/1549) work. Son of Dirk Bouts (1410-1420/1475), official painter to the city of Leuven, Albrecht and his elder brother, Dirk the Younger (1448-1491), inherited their father’s workshop after his death. The work of the elder son, Dirk the Younger, is still a discussed topic since no painting could be attributed to him with certainty. It is quite different for Albrecht who is the likely author of the Tryptich of the Assumption of the Virgin from the Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts of Belgium. The corpus of his work, established in 1925 by Max J. Friedländer and in 1938 by Wolfgang Schöne based on this autograph altarpiece, includes an important number of paintings. This catalogue has however never been revised by art historians since then. Only some paintings have occasionally been published.
Considering the high number of paintings attributed to the master, there was a need to undertake a deeper study in order to distinguish Albrecht Bouts’ own creations from those of his workshop.
The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first one includes a complete, selective and chronological biography of the master, based on the data found in the archives of the city of Leuven. A newly enriched critical interpretation of these documents has allowed a better definition of Albrecht Bouts’s personality and a clearer understanding of the development of his career.
The second chapter is devoted to the study of the master’s work and starts with an in-depth examination of the Tryptich of the Assumption of the Virgin, the only painting recognized as an autograph work. The combined examination of the style and the technical execution of this altarpiece, painted during the mature period of his career, underlines both the influences of Dirk Bouts and Hugo van der Goes and helps to display his original artistic personality.
From there, the catalogue of his work is re-established, in the last chapter, from the very beginning to the end of his working life. In the last chapter devoted to the catalogue, each painting attributed to the master is carefully studied, on a chronological basis and in details, with an introductive technical note giving material as well as bibliographical information.
The review of the corpus of Albrecht Bouts’ work is based on a traditional stylistic approach and on the results given by laboratory documents. An important photographical and technological documentation of his works – some of them unpublished until now- has been gathered. Their comparison brought forward essential arguments on which our demonstration is based.
The third chapter, which builds on the two first ones, consists of an analysis of Albrecht Bouts’ workshop production, which was particularly active at the beginning of the XVIth century. The purpose was not to study thoroughly each painting but to extract coherent groups of works thanks to the same combined examination of style and technique. Like the master’s autograph work, each painting is subject to a careful study in the critical catalogue.
Finally, the fourth chapter is dedicated to the serial production of private devotional works carried out in the master’s workshop. There were already many general writings and some occasional studies on the subject, but none of them really measured the importance of the mass production. We therefore undertook a deep and thorough research on the workshop practices ,on the iconography and on the social-economical context of the realisation of works by Albrecht following the prototypes created by his father.
The thesis contributes to a better knowledge and understanding of the life, the personality and the work of Albrecht Bouts and re-evaluates the participation of his workshop. This will give to each of these elements its proper place in the Flemish Masters Painting of the end of the XVth and the beginning of the XVIth centuries.

Full textThis thesis spells out specifically a developed tradition of polychrome in the art and the society Muslim Medieval, and tries to improve such concepts extensively. It should be mentioned that the recent improvements made in Islamic sensitivities for color over the recent centuries that separate us from the older period of time (the eighth to fifteenth century) that radiates the Islamic art is beyond this research. As a matter of fact in this study, our goal is to present the concept of color during the eighth to fifteenth century, explaining the meaning and the use of color during that time which correspond its true concept. Since the achievement of the harmony of colors depends on physical processes and appropriate techniques, we will try to demonstrate the practical application and objective of Islamic art and color at those centuries based on visual evidences that were obtained during our research, thus painting is considered as the raw material of our study. These centuries can present all the aesthetic elements of interest especially in painting (miniatures) because among the various arts, painting is the area where the colorist expressed with more freedom. From Baghdad to Tabriz, from Tabriz to Herat and from Herat to Shiraz and Isfahan, the Islamic miniature has produced the most beautiful pages of the history. In addition, color as an element in Islamic culture including poetry, mysticism, regulations and the religious holy book is studied to fully characterize the role of color in other Abrahamic religions

Full textComing from the world of landscape practice, I could not ignore the dialectical movement that develops between the physical experience of space and its representation. The research is organized from trips and detours about concrete spaces and sometimes external theoretical proposals from the field of landscape practice. It is through this dual component that the landscape and its representation in situ : the garden, or its representations, will be explored. The approach is not culturalist, in the sense that this word has taken in the debate of contemporary ideas. It is nonetheless articulated to a strong presence of culture in understanding the phenomena related to the landscape. This position allows both the criticism of a formalism pressed ona powerful "picturialism", and a new naturalism just born and alreadyacademic who tries, unsuccessfully, the criticism of it, and fall however intothe same trap of a form declined from a dogma, geometric on one side andecological on the other, without consider the relationship of the applicationof this dogma to the bodies that inhabit spaces. The initial input by the picturesque category is not abandoned. In fact, unknown to us more often, the picturesque's features give us the foundation for our aesthetic judgment on pictorial or gardened representations of nature. Contemporary forms of the picturesque are then described as operators to our space practices. Today it is the link between experience and representation that I try tobring to light to show what I have called "le libre parcours."

Full textI intended to study miniatures created from the eight to the twelvth century. They belong to the various codices of the comment of the apocalypse, known as beatus. I selected fifteen out of the twenty two embellished codices wich keep well-preserved nowadays, on the basis of a corpus of seventeen illustrative themes. For that purpose, i founded my study on a semiotic point of vue which i adapted to iconography. I therefore analysed every sign and its spatial situation withinb the drawing. The main parts of my study are : a presentation of my corpus, of its author and of the historical context. An analytic part of the work which at first shows the rules of the work which at first shows the rules of the formal display arrangements in the middle-ages. I then tackled the problem of the interiority and exteriority shown by some drawing - which i called "containing-drawings" - using for that the framework of the drawing as well as a sign-symbology. Given that, i was able to study their meaning defending on the presence of the various constituents, i. E. Put back in their pictorial context, i considered them as elements of the whole drawing. I compared my conclusions with the interpretation offered by beatus of the apocalypse. As a conclusion, i came back to the role played by striped backgrounds and by colour, of which i tried to explain the functions. I ended by a historico-cultural actualization of the codices. The analysis of the signs and structures allows us to tackle and decode the politico-religious message conciously expressed by the painter. It also discloses the socio-cultural dimension in which lived the artist
Rakovsky, Daniel. "Les deux côtés du visage : dissymétrie et construction du portrait à la Renaissance." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040197.
Full textEvery face is structured in a symmetrical order. This research paper explores the consequences of this formal specificity on the construction of the portrait in the particular context of the European Renaissance. It starts with a critique of the neuropsychological approach that makes the asymmetry and the distinction between the two sides of the face in the portrait the mere expression of a particular physiognomy. Through a reflection on the aesthetic categories of symmetry and asymmetry in the order of representation, the research demonstrates the interest of these concepts for the understanding of the formal and philosophical issues specific to the construction of portraits. It also reveals the richness and complexity of meanings assigned to symmetry and asymmetry in the cultural cosmos of the Renaissance, these ones sometimes going against the grain of contemporary representations. The final section is devoted to the secular theological symbolism distinguishing between the right side and the left side of the face, one side turned to the heavenly, the other to the earthly, and the resulting influence on the art of portraiture. The demonstration is punctuated by various case studies, including an in-depth analysis of portraits painted by Jan Van Eyck, Giovanni Bellini, Raphael and Albrecht Dürer
