Gaunt, Pamela Mary School of Art History/Theory UNSW. "The decorative in twentieth century art: a story of decline and resurgence". Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Art History/Theory, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/25983.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis tracks the complex relationship between visual art and the decorative in the Twentieth Century. In doing so, it makes a claim for the ongoing interest and viability of decorative practices within visual art, in the wake of their marginalisation within Modernist art and theory. The study is divided into three main sections. First, it demonstrates and questions the exclusion of the decorative within the central currents of modernism. Second, it examines the resurgence of the decorative in postmodern art and theory. This section is based on case studies of a number of postmodern artists whose work gained notice in the 1980s, and which evidences a sustained engagement with a decorative or ornamental aesthetic. The artists include Rosemarie Trockel, Lucas Samaras, Philip Taaffe, and several artists from the Pattern and Decoration Painting Movement of the 1970s. The final component of the study investigates the function and significance of the decorative in the work of a selection of Australian and international contemporary artists. The art of Louise Paramor, Simon Periton and Do-Ho Suh is examined in detail. In addition, the significance of the late work of Henri Matisse is analysed for its relevance to contemporary art practice that employs decorative procedures. The thesis put forward is that an historical reversal has occurred in recent decades, where the decorative has once again become a significant force in experimental visual art.

Recent scholarship on the interwar French art milieu has overcome, on the one hand, ethnonationalism as the main interpretive framework for examining the relationship between art and politics and, on the other, a celebratory narrative that made Paris the liberal and democratic interwar art centre. Building on these recent studies, my thesis aims to reassess the nexus between art and politics in interwar France. I do this by asking what kind of Republican imaginaries were created in the modern art promoted by public institutions. In order to answer this question, the thesis builds on a second, recent body of scholarship that re-examines French politics and Republican political culture through new lenses. This work highlights the polysemic and plastic nature of Republican ideology, the variety of stances contained within Republicanism, and hence the existence of different and competing understandings of the French Republic. By delving into four case studies, namely the Musée des écoles étrangères, the Musée de Grenoble, the tapestries realised at the Manufacture des Gobelins and the mural art projects financed by the state in the late 1930s, the thesis demonstrates that the modern art promoted by public institutions engendered political imaginaries that testify to the simultaneous existence of conservative, liberal, civic or communitarian, that is, local Republics. While making modern art the bearer of competing views on the French Republic in the 1920s and 1930s, the imaginaries that were created by modern art institutions and practices mythologised Republican universalism. Yet, these imaginaries revealed all the ambiguity contained in France’s universalistic project. At a time marked by the never-ending bellicosity that ensued from the First World War and the political and economic crises of the 1930s, the imaginaries created by modern art thus gave birth to a Republican visual politics. As the thesis argues, this Republican visual politics had a sociopolitical meaning. Modern art, especially figurative art, created imaginaries that could confront, above all, the interwar crisis of the Republic and its universalism, and the crisis in social and political representations that stemmed from the political turmoil and instability of the interwar years.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Cette thèse explore les propriétéset l’emploi des peintures à l’huile à base deblanc de zinc de l’échelle nano- et microscopique jusqu’à l’échelle macroscopique desœuvres d’art.Le blanc de zinc (ZnO), pigment modernedéveloppé à la fin du XVIIIe siècle en tantqu’alternative non toxique au blanc de plomb,a été adopté dans la peinture à l’huile au milieudu XIXe siècle. Initialement utilisé aux côtésdu blanc de plomb, son pouvoir couvrant plusfaible et sa brillance en ont fait un pigment dechoix pour les mélanges de couleurs, les pointslumineux, mais aussi les empâtements et lespréparations. Cependant, il peut provoquer desproblèmes de conservation, par exemple en raison de la formation de savons de zinc, ce qui aété le focus principal de plusieurs études.Connaître ce pigment est donc crucial pourles études techniques des œuvres d’art et leurconservation. Dans ce but, cette rechercheest centrée sur deux axes : l’étude des propriétés physico-chimiques du blanc de zinc et del’ampleur et des modalités d’emploi du pigment.L’analyse de plusieurs types de matériaux estcomplétée avec des recherches documentaires etune enquête auprès des professionnels du patrimoine.Le premier axe est abordé à traversl’analyse, à l’échelle nano- et micromètrique,d’un large corpus, unique et varié, de matériauxd’artiste historiques et modernes des fabricantseuropéens et américains principaux, et d’unesélection d’échantillons issus d’œuvres, qui sontcomparés à des matériaux de référence et desmodèles de peinture. Plusieurs types de techniques d’analyse sont utilisés, allant de méthodes de laboratoire conventionnelles (microscopie optique et électronique, DRX) jusqu’à delarges instrumentations telles que l’accélérateurde particules AGLAE (PIXE, IBIL) et le synchrotron ESRF (DRX à haute résolution angulaire). Plusieurs composés ont été identifiés dansles matériaux de peinture, ce qui met en évidence certaines pratiques et adulterations desfabricants de couleurs. L’hydrozincite, probable produit de dégradation du ZnO, a été identifié dans plusieurs échantillons. Cette étudesouligne, parmi les matériaux historiques etmodernes, des différences de composition, detaille des particules de ZnO et de comportementde luminescence. La morphologie et la taille desparticules de ZnO et la pureté des matériauxanalysés suggèrent une synthèse par méthodeindirecte. La variété des comportements de luminescence, affectés également par d’autres facteurs liés au pigment et à son environnement,est, au contraire, plus difficile à interpréter.Le deuxième axe est abordé à partir descampagnes de fluorescence X sur une cinquantaine d’œuvres analysées in-situ dans lesmusées, et l’étude détaillée d’une sélection depeintures au laboratoire. Cette recherche explore différents emplois du pigment à partird’exemples précoces jusqu’à la moitié du XXesiècle, et constitue une véritable base de données des œuvres qui contiennent du blanc dezinc. En outre, l’étude souligne les limites del’identification du blanc de zinc, notamment surla seule base des analyses non-invasives de fluorescence X. L’intérêt d’un protocole non-invasifpour l’identification du pigment basé sur sa photoluminescence a été mis en valeur, ce qui estcomplémentaire à l’emploi de la cathodoluminescence pour l’étude invasive de matériaux depeinture.Cette recherche constitue donc une référencesur les propriétés physico-chimiques et l’emploidu blanc de zinc, offrant des informations surl’histoire matérielle du pigment et des œuvresd’art modernes en ouvrant des perspectives surleur conservation et authentification: This thesis explores the propertiesand use of zinc white oil paints, from the nanoand micro-scale up to the macro-scale of artworks.Zinc white (ZnO), a modern pigment developed in the late 18th century as a non-toxicalternative to lead white, was adopted in oilpaint in the middle of the 19th century. Initially used alongside lead white, its lower covering power and brilliance made it a choice forcolour blends and highlights, but also for impastos and grounds. It can cause condition issues,for example due to the formation of zinc soaps,which have been the main focus of several studies.Knowing the pigment is, therefore, crucialfor technical studies and artwork conservation.Thus, this research focuses on two areas: thestudy of the physico-chemical properties of zincwhite and the extent and modalities of use of thepigment. The analysis of several types of material is complemented by documentary researchand a survey among heritage professionals.The first axis is addressed through the analysis, at the nano- and micro-scale, of a large,unique and varied corpus of historical and modern artists’ materials from the leading European and American manufacturers, and a selection of painting samples compared with reference materials and paint mockups. Several analytical techniques are used, from conventionallaboratory methods (optical and electron microscopy, XRD) to large facilities, such as theAGLAE particle accelerator (PIXE, IBIL) andthe ESRF synchrotron (high-angle resolutionXRD). Other compounds than ZnO were identified in the paint materials, shedding light oncertain practices of colour manufacturers andexamples of adulteration. Hydrozincite, a probable degradation product of ZnO, was identifiedin some samples. This study highlights differences in the composition and size of ZnO particles between historical and modern materials,as well as a luminescence behaviour that is moredifficult to interpret because it depends on several factors linked to the pigment and its environment. The morphology and size of the ZnOparticles and the purity of the materials analysed suggest synthesis via indirect method.The second axis is based on X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy campaigns onaround fifty artworks analysed in-situ in museums, and the detailed study of a selection ofpaintings in the laboratory. This research showsdifferent uses of the pigment through examplesfrom the beginning of the 19th up to the mid20th century, which form a reference databaseof artworks containing zinc white. The studyalso calls into question the identification of zincwhite, particularly when solely based on XRFanalyses. The interest in a non-invasive protocol for pigment identification based on its photoluminescence was highlighted, which is complementary to the use of cathodoluminescencefor the invasive study of paint materials.This research constitutes a reference onthe physico-chemical properties and use of zincwhite; it provides information on the materialhistory of the pigment and modern artworks,opening up new perspectives for artwork conservation and authentication

Boetzkes, Amanda. "Beyond perception : the ethics of contemporary earth art". Thesis, McGill University, 2006. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=102788.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This dissertation considers the aesthetic strategies and ethical implications of contemporary earth art. Drawing from feminist and ecological critiques of phenomenology, it posits that an ethical preoccupation with the earth is identifiable in works that stage the artist's inability to condense natural phenomena into an intelligible art object thereby evidencing the earth's excess beyond the field of perception. Contemporary earth art has the paradoxical goal of evoking the sensorial plenitude of the earth without representing it as such. The first chapter analyzes Robert Smithson's monumental sculpture, the Spiral Jetty (1970), and suggests that the artist deploys the emblem of the whirlpool to express the artwork's constitutive rupture from the earth, a loss that the artwork subsequently discloses in its textual modes, including an essay and a film that document the construction of the sculpture. Chapter two examines the recurrence of the whirlpool motif and other anagrammatic shapes such as black holes, tornadoes, shells and nests, in earth art from the last three decades. In contemporary practices the whirlpool allegorizes an ethical attentiveness to the earth's alterity; not only does it thematize the artwork's separation from perpetual natural regeneration, it signals the artist's withdrawal from the attempt to construct a totalizing perspective of the site. Chapter three addresses performance and installation works that feature the contact between the artist's body and the earth, and in particular, the body's role in delineating the point of friction between the earth's sensorial plenitude and its resistance to representation. Earth artists thereby assert the body as a surface that separates itself out from the earth and receives sensation of it as other. The conclusion summarizes the main arguments of the previous chapters through a discussion of a three-part installation by Chris Drury entitled Whorls (2005).

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The introduction establishes the goal of the research, which is to discover that art concerned with re-evaluating the relationship to the environment and spirituality can serve to connect people to one another, and to the environment. The context of the research is the contemporary ecological and spiritual crisis of the postmodern world. The background places the discussion within the contexts of modernism and postmodernism. The historical background focuses on the period from the 1960s to the present day. Land and Environmental artists who work in a manner that is conscious of environmental issues and who suggest a sacred and creative attitude to ecology are discussed. My own creative work which is a response to both ancient and contemporary sites as well as to contemporary theories of art and spirituality is discussed. The four projects, are discussed in chronological order, they are: Quest - A journey into Sacred Space; Gaika's Kop - Sacred Mountain; Labyrinth - Journeys to the Centre; and Transforming the Centre. The conclusion shows that the multi-faceted, intertextual and relativistic philosophy of postmodernism has brought about a significant change in the attitude of humanity towards the environment. Artists who reject the modernist aesthetic and philosophy are making art that emphasises relationship to, rather than separation from the natural world.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The ritualistic aspect of Walter Pichler's work greatly problematizes the traditional view of the art object as the locus of aesthetic contemplation. Yet how are we to approach such art in our secularized world? For it to maintain its meaningfulness, does not ritual require a shared symbolic system?Indirectly guided by Pichler's work, this thesis is an exploration of the contemporary status of the work of art. An investigation into the myth of Prometheus reveals that art and ritual share the same origin. Further inquiries into early Greek sculpture, as well as the concepts of techne and mimesis, expand this origin into the relationship between the art object and the viewer, shifting the customary focus away from the resemblance between the model and the copy. In this space of looking , art no longer presents itself as an aestheticized object---presence and absence, the visible and the invisible, recognition and anamnesis come into play as possible ways of participation in the work of art.

The erosion of traditional French academic methods of picture-construction, and the eclipse of hierarchical subject-matter, ensured the emergence of a diversity of new painting styles in France by 1900 and the possibility of even more drastic departures from tradition in the 20th century, particularly in the work of Picasso, from 1900 to 1914.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The purpose of the study was to examine the status of contemporary fiber as an art form and to identify critical factors affecting its continued development.An extensive search of available literature was conducted. From this search, coupled with the researcher's extensive personal involvement with fiber, populations were identified and questionnaires were designed.Three pertinent but different populations, consisting of fiber artists, college/university and art school heads, and museum, gallery, and textile directors/curators were selected to receive the questionnaires. The questionnaires were designed to reflect the similarities and differences of the population.Data were treated to comparative percentages, valid percentages, cumulative percentages, frequencies, and Chi-Squares. Four major concerns were identified and discussed. They are:1. Fiber as Fine Art2. The Importance of Content and Message Orientation in Fiber3. The Problem of Plurality and Fiber4. The Need for a Critical Language Relative to FiberFindings and Conclusions1. The division between fine art and crafts still exists. Therefore, the division also exists for fiber art, which is part of the crafts discipline.2. Most individuals are not in favor of limiting the parameters of what constitutes fiber art in order to help gain a clearer understanding of what fiber art really is.3. There does not appear to be a critical language for fiber art except that which is technique, method, or materials based.4. The opinion of whether fiber art should be message or statement oriented is divided. Some were in agreement while others were not. In addition, some of the respondents answered with "sometimes."

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
It would be wrong to suggest that this essay is in any way a comprehensive study of brutal sculpture. Certainly not. There have been many deliberate omissions for reasons which become clear in the text. Very briefly, omissions of certain sculptors and their work are largely due to my wish to avoid repetitive ideas and images. My view in this essay is to provide a cross-section of ideas and works, whereby the reader might gain some insight into the varied nature of this kind of sculpture. Thus, there seemed very little need for endless similarities of concept and expression. It was the diversity which I felt was important. The chapter which discusses concepts of beauty is also not a comprehensive study. This subject demands more than a humble essay to do it any justice. However, my reasons for touching the vague and controversial outline of these concepts were, primarily, to suggest that notions of beauty as the sole criterion in the judgement of art are too limiting, and, consequently, to introduce the concept of vitalism, which I believe is more valid. Finally, I wish to mention the personal motive behind this work. Over the years, I have witnessed the emergence of brutal elements in my own work, which I found disturbing at times. I have never been able to answer satisfactorily the criticism I've received. All I knew was that these things came from a very deep source. It is with this in mind that I embarked on this project, hoping to achieve two things. Firstly, to provide an objective survey of an important development in art, and, secondly , to answer some of my criticism. Foreword, p. 1.

McKnight, Justine. "Redefining The Art Experience : From Static To Temporal Art Forms". Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1998. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1450.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This research examines an approach to art making and viewing that questions the acceptance of the autonomous object in favour of a transient experience. It focuses specifically on work and writing from the 1960s by the American artist Robert Morris that attempted to alter the then predominant Formalist understanding of the art object as autonomous and self-referential. This investigation follows the formal and conceptual development of Morris' work (and that of associated artists Richard Serra and Rafael Ferrer) with particular focus on the shift from static objects to time-based and transient an-forms including film/video and installation. I address the influence that the shift from static to temporal forms has had on the experience of art such as opening artwork to deeper levels of metaphysical association and visceral response. This discussion also examines parallel issues that have emerged within my own work's conceptual and formal development. In relation to the investigation of these developments I shall contextualise and locate my recent arts practice.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Bodies, burdened with narratives and inscribed by laws, function as signifiers of the State propaganda and nationalisms that supercede the Individual. The Image Stammers discredits the seamless fusion of the body-politic of the Singapore state with that of the Individual. This paper looks at the State as its singular source of artistic stimulation and seeks to dislodge the ventriloquised voice of that State acting upon the art object and its producer, so as to liberate the image from the singular meaning the State imposes. To do this, the analysis in this paper intervenes in the State and its organ, the media, in their attempt to imprison the reality of the performance image so as to reverse the silence that has been demanded of the artist. By reinstating this voice into the visual work the author has produced in this text, based on theories of 'internalised' Orientalism discussed by Geraldine Heng and Janadas Devan, as well as notions of abjections in the work of Elizabeth Grosz anfd Julia Kristeva, this paper attempts to strip the State of its veneer of 'purity' to expose an underside that subjects female bodies to forms of nationalism which are now more codified than ever. This paper foregrounds textual and visual embodiment as a testimony of lived experience which may further entrench, notions of Singapore as an authoritarian state. The Image Stammers bears no pretension of objectivity nor a 'politically safe and correct' one within the context of this paper, but instead, strewns fragments of subjectivity throughout its textual landscape. It seeks to overturn the 'impurity' of the abject (signified by performance art and contemporary artists) as defined, loathed and expelled by the State, into the power of resistance and maintenance of the integrity of the Individual. The Image Stammers retrieves the abject as markers of the limits of State power to become signifiers of resistance for its reconstitution into allies of the artistFaculty of Performance, Fine Arts and Design

Art HistoryM.A.
My thesis seeks to establish a fuller, more nuanced historical account of socially and politically oriented printmaking during the long 20th century in Mexico. In order to remedy what is currently a fragmented and incomplete narrative composed of canonical artists, my project integrates recent studies that acknowledge the role of lesser-known artists from various moments of the 20th and 21st centuries. The broader approach of this thesis reveals that the history of politically oriented Mexican prints spans a longer period of time and a larger geographic area than previously thought. Mexico experienced several waves of political turmoil and social upheaval throughout the 20th century, beginning with the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), including the 1968 student movement, and extending to present day clashes between citizens and their government leaders. In this context, art and printmaking in particular served as persistent vehicles for Mexican artists to engage in social and political activism. Integrating the critical analysis of earlier research along with newer studies that recognize the impact of Mexican printmakers often overlooked in broad survey texts and exhibitions allows for further conclusions to be drawn regarding the multifaceted relationship between the print medium and the art of protest. My thesis introduces the notion that educational institutions in Mexico played an active part in this historical narrative, highlights the significance of Mexican artists' choice to work in collaborative environments versus individually, and notes modern activist printmakers' strong preference for the woodblock print.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a série de obras do artista plástico Anselm Kiefer, produzidas a partir da visita ao Brasil no ano de 1987, na qual as vistas aéreas da paisagem urbana de São Paulo tornaram-se elemento propulsor. O registro em fotos, sobre a metrópole brasileira, transformou-se em material para o desenvolvimento de uma nova série de criação que marca mudanças nos temas e nos procedimentos pictóricos dentro do conjunto de sua produção artística. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se através da análise dos registros sobre a obra de Kiefer em arquivos e bibliotecas de Instituições artísticas brasileiras como Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, Pinacoteca do Estado e Instituto Goethe, além da análise de uma obra original da série citada, disponibilizada por uma colecionadora brasileira. O trabalho foi fundamentado através de publicações de autores como Walter Benjamin, Daniel Arasse, Andrea Lauterwein, Andreas Huyssen, Brissac Peixoto, Sérgio Paulo Rouanet, Alberto Tassinari, Márcio Seligmann-Silva, W.J.Mitchell, Mieke Ball, Hans Belting entre outros. Através do material pesquisado, foram desenvolvidas reflexões no âmbito da arte contemporânea, utilizando-se conceitos desenvolvidos pelos teóricos e críticos da arte. Houve a necessidade de retomar a produção do artista desde suas primeiras obras, em que os temas concentravam se na história alemã e na origem do povo germânico. A influência da poesia de Paul Celan reflete uma mudança de temas na produção do artista que passa a explorar a cultura judaica. Estas questões tornaram-se necessárias para a compreensão dos motivos que levaram Kiefer a dedicar-se a uma série de obras sobre a paisagem brasileira. A situação do artista alemão no pós-guerra e a necessidade de mudança na concepção tradicional da representação a partir do Holocausto, a memória e a paisagem em ruínas, são temas transferidos para diversos contextos e passaram a funcionar como metáfora no desenvolvimento de sua produção artística. Assim, no período analisado concluiu-se que há um deslocamento, que parte da problemática gerada pela catástrofe histórica, vivenciada por Kiefer, para a compreensão de vários questionamentos que aludem à paisagem urbana contemporânea. A percepção da transitoriedade é sentida através dos materiais utilizados pelo artista em questão, que guardam as marcas do tempo e abrem um campo complexo de discursos. Relações traçadas através da paisagem de São Paulo partirão do lugar específico da megalópole brasileira, para questões que se colocam em âmbito global

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Il progetto sviluppato in questa tesi di Dottorato in Scienze chimiche riguarda lo studio di opere di arte moderna e contemporanea con particolare riferimento alle indagini sui materiali e tecnologie usate dagli artisti. Per tale ricerca sono state sviluppate delle tecniche di indagine innovative, specifiche in grado di rilevare non solamente la natura dei materiali utilizzati ma anche il loro comportamento nel tempo.
Questa ricerca si è inserita in un progetto internazionale riguardante appunto la conservazione dell’arte contemporanea (20th Century Oil Paint Project, promosso dall'ICN The Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, Amsterdam in collaborazione con il Courtauld Institute of Art, London, ilTate, London e il Getty Conservation Institute, Los Angeles). Il lavoro di tesi ha portato in particolare alla messa a punto di metodologie di studio dei oleosi attraverso l’impiego di tecniche cromatografiche (GC-MS, Py-GC-MS) che hanno consentito di individuare la presenza e il ruolo di alcuni additivi industriali (come gli stearati di alluminio e zinco e l'olio di ricino idrogenato) che fino ad ora non erano stati rilevati in maniera significativa,ma che rivestono un ruolo importante nella produzione industriale dei materiali dell’arte.
La ricerca è stata condotta dapprima su campioni pittorici ad olio realizzati in laboratorio utilizzando leganti oleosi, pigmenti, siccativi e additivi impiegati nella moderna produzione industriale di colori ad olio. I film pittorici sono stati analizzati mediante l’uso di svariate tecniche analitiche, tra cui la spettrometria infrarosso in trasformata di Fourier (FT-IR), la spettrofotometria a raggi X (XRF), la Termogravimetria (TG), la Calorimetria Differenziale a Scansione (DSC) e la Gascromatografia abbinata alla Spettrometria di Massa (GC-MS).
La parte sperimentale si è poi incentrata sullo studio di colori ad olio (a tubetto) provenienti da collezioni storiche di famose ditte produttrici di colori ad olio (come ad esempio Winsor&Newton, Talens, Old Holland, Maimeri). L’ultima parte della tesi è stata dedicata allo studio di significative opere moderne e contemporanee di artisti quali Lucio Fontana, Jasper Johns, Karel Appel, Willem de Kooning, Salvador Dalì, Henri Matisse, Isabel Lambert-Rawsthorne, Ethel Walker, etc.
I risultati, oltre che a chiarire le situazioni sotto indagine, aprono una serie di nuove prospettive su settori finora poco approfonditi nella produzione artistica e tecnologica dell’arte moderna e contemporanea.The research project developes in PhD research in Chemical Sciences deals with the study of modern and contemporary works of art, focusing on materials and production techniques employed by artists. In this study innovative and specific analytical techniques have been optimised: the survey has been successful not only in detecting the nature of artistic materials used in the 20th century, but also in studying their behaviours over time. Thid PhD researc has been part of an international project concerning the Conservation of Contemporary Art and has lead to the improvement of new methodologies to study proteinaceous and lipidic binding media by using chromatographic techniques (GC-MS, Py-GC-MS, HPLC). These methods have also allowed for the identification and the role of industrial additives (such as aluminium and zinc stearates and hydrogenated castor oil), which had been not fully studied previously. This part of the PhD research has been developed in the Netherlands, in the laboratories of the ICN (The Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, Amsterdam), under the supervision of Dr. Klaas Jan van den Berg and Mr. Ing. Henk van Keulen. The research has been part of the international project called "20th Century Oil Paint Project", carried out at ICN in collaboration with Courtauld Institute of Art, London, Tate, London and Getty Conservation Institute, Los Angeles. The research was initially focused on the study of laboratory-reconstructed oil films, which were prepared with lipidic binders, additives, pigments and driers used by modern oil manufacturers. The films were studied by using several analytical techniques: FT-IR, XRF, TG-DSC and GC-MS. This study has lead to an improvement of analytical methodologies for the study of manufactured oil samples. Furthermore, the research focused on real samples taken from important modern paintings by Lucio Fontana, Jasper Johns, Karel Appel, Willem de Kooning, Salvador Dalì, Henri Matisse, Isabel Lambert-Rawsthorne, Ethel Walker, etc. The obtained results are a further step in the knowledge of materials used in artistic and technological production in Contemporary Art.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The state of Oregon often has been viewed as a utopia. Figures of speech borrowed from the romantic sublime, biblical pilgrimage, economic boosterism, and millenialist fatalism have been used to characterize it. The visual arts also have responded to Oregon's utopian myth. During the nineteenth century, the landscape was a primary focus for utopian art. In the twentieth century, past human achievements, recreation, agriculture, and industry have joined the environment as themes which inspire utopian imagery. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that twentieth-century art that responds to Oregon's utopian myth has given rise to an iconography which both energizes and reflects the development of that myth and which informs an important component of the state's identity. Using as a criteria that which idealizes Oregon as a place, an inventory of utopian art was compiled. It includes over 300 works of visual art, plus a number of artists for whom utopian subjects served as a consistent element. From this information, dominant themes were identified which demonstrate the existence of iconography, or visual symbolism, that expresses Oregon's utopian myth. Through the themes of natural environment, heroic images of Oregon's human past, and interaction between humans and the environment-plus numerous sub-themes-the artistic evidence demonstrates that visual imagery and symbols play an important role in how Oregonians define themselves and their history. It also suggests what form the state's utopian myth, identity' and the decisions made by its people may take in the next century.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis focuses on the rise to prominence, during the 1980s and 1990s, of a coterie of African American intellectuals associated with the powerful networks and institutions of the New Right. It situates the relatively marginalised phenomenon of contemporary black conservatism within its historical context; explores the nature and significance of the racial discourse it has generated; and probes the intellectual character of the individuals whose contributions to this strand of black thought have stood out over the past three decades. Engaging the writings of the major black conservative figures and the literature of their supporters and critics, I then evaluate their ideas in relation to the key debates concerning race and class in American life debates that have centred, for the most part, on the vexed issues of affirmative action, poverty and public education. In illuminating this complex, still largely misunderstood phenomenon, this thesis reveals the black conservatives as more than a group but as individuals with their own distinctive arguments.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This research paper places the three Research Projects 2 DIVINE, CARNIVAL, and HER STORIES: THE WENTWORTH WOMEN against the background of memory, remaking history, play, as well as hermeneutics. It is argued that the understanding of a work of art involves participation in its meaning by the audience which is not so much a mere receiver of information as a catalyst of the work's content. This Research Paper also attempts to place the three Research Projects, which when combined are entitled REMEMORIES/IMAGETEXTS, into a feminist remaking of history (in Barbara Kruger's sense), realigning the male-oriented histories with a female presence. Questioning the 'historical document' as the authority on history, and giving alternative versions of the life of Jeanne d'Arc and the life of Sarah Cox Wentworth are some of the concerns in the Research Projects. How these three Research Projects came to be linked is that each was originally exhibited during 1995 for the Twentieth Anniversary of International Women's Year, in venues from Penrith to Paddington. Their making spans many years, and in essence comes down to a fascination with the portrayal of women throughout history.That our images of women originally derived from how women were portrayed in carnival is one of the emerging themes, and that there are a number of different memories of specific events, depending on who is remembering them, and what their (hidden) agenda entails. In moving between time zones, questioning the portrayal of 'woman as sign', and subverting the traditional sign of woman, the artist puts forward the argument that women are the producers of signs and thus not merely objects as represented by signsMaster of Arts (Hons)(Visual Arts)

Jenny Holzer's text-based projects have attracted the attention of critics, historians, and curators from Des Moines to Dresden. An understanding of the complex interplay between language, gender, power, and site within Holzer's work demonstrates how a singular interpretive approach is insufficient for discussing the multitude of meanings her projects produce. Perhaps most significantly, a fresh analysis of Holzer's work and critical reactions to it challenges the story of modernism and postmodernism and the relationship between these two terms.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This dissertation examines two controversies involving paintings of the female nude by artists Debora Arango and Carlos Correa during a period of political crisis in Bogota (Colombia) in order to open the political to cultural analysis and thus shed light on scenarios of change in the 1930s and 1940s. Unpacking the controversies lends insight into the unique ways in which modernity, the body, its representations, sexuality, gender and politics came together in Colombia during this period. Such an approach also shows that modernity in Colombia involved shifts in religious and secular frames of sense-making and morality. This dissertation argues that the controversies and the female nudes provide a window into the Liberal regime's creation of culture as an autonomous sphere as part of its cultural program, which bridged high and popular culture, as well as on aspects of private life concerned with sexuality and gender. It shows how such changes registered in the lives of the artists and how the artists translated the changes they experienced into modes of pictorial expression. This dissertation argues that the demands of the aesthetic and the demands of politics during this period pressed on each other, resulting in the wide-spread perception of moral breach that came to a head in the "scandals of the female nudes." This dissertation thus sheds light on dimensions of both the political and the private during this period.Because art and politics were thus entangled, this dissertation shows that, in this particular Colombian modernity, society was not polarized, that the private and the private overlapped, that issues of intimacy surfaced in the public realm, and that Catholicism was the idiom shared by men and women who were grappling with change. It shows that the cultural program of the Liberal regime was the immediate referent for criticism in these events and, through it, of the Liberal regime's reforms of education of 1934 and 1936. Finally, it shows that this modernity and its attendant anxieties were played out through the body in the public and the private realms, within, not against, the Catholic tradition, in unprecedented ways. This thesis demonstrates that politics and issues of sexuality and gender were entangled in the public sphere and converged in the female nudes, turning them into a major threat to morality within both religious and secular frameworks. By unpacking the controversies, this dissertation marks a seminal break with historical accounts that describe Colombia's as a failed modernity, its society as polarized, and debates over sexuality and gender as the product of politics. This dissertation also contradicts art historical writings that account for the production of images and the reception of art in this period solely in political terms.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

the 'aesthetic dimension' of useful objects; and by experimenting with a range of written forms which draw upon three sources: i) concepts investigated through the first two chapters; ii) ideas being cultivated through my studio practice; and iii) issues raised through the exploration of a particular site - the Rocklea Flea Markets.

Over a period of two decades, Raymond D. Nasher, a Dallas-based real estate developer, and his late wife Patsy amassed a collection of significant modern sculptures. For years, pieces from the private collection--numbering over 300 as of 1990--were on display in various museums and civic institutions, and they were installed on a rotating basis at Northpark Center, a Dallas shopping mall developed by Nasher. Since the 1987 Dallas Museum of Art exhibition, the collection has been shown in several major international museums. This study documents the formative period of the collection, the Nashers' collecting and exhibiting philosophies, and four early exhibitions of the sculptures. It includes a chronology of the Nashers and major acquisitions of sculpture.

Resumo: Partindo da desmaterialização observada nas artes do século XX por Lucy Lippard, isto é, da perda de interesse dos artistas na evolução física do trabalho de arte, assumo como objeto de estudos um subgrupo de tal fenômeno, distinto por visar à desmaterialização completa como o próprio objeto artístico. Tais propostas, aqui denominadas "Artes do Vazio", desafiam nossa compreensão e dificultam sua caracterização por não resultarem em materialidade física na sua exibição. Neste trabalho, ofereço uma interpretação semiótica e uma resposta aos seus desafios. No primeiro capítulo, abordarei seu contexto de desenvolvimento e sua diversidade através do século XX, ao qual acompanha, simultaneamente, o desenvolvimento de algumas hipóteses interpretativas. Estas, por sua vez, serão analisadas em seus alcances e limites no segundo capítulo. Já o terceiro visa a uma interpretação dos dilemas que as artes do vazio apresentam por contrariarem alguns pressupostos comuns a toda obra de arte, o que as coloca sob o risco de um relativismo em sua interpretação. Para tal, será apresentada a teoria semiótica de Charles S. Peirce, que, articulada à sua fenomenologia e ao seu realismo, mostrar-se-á frutífera na construção de um argumento que oferece uma resposta a tais dilemas. Neste ponto, serão esclarecidos os papeis tomados por alguns elementos necessários à cadeia semiótica de uma obra do vazio, e.g., os elementos contextuais de apresentação artística e o impacto de uma quebra de expectativa na...

Abstract: Starting from Lucy Lippard's observation of the dematerialization of arts in the twentieth century, that is, of the artists' loss of interest in the physical evolution of the artwork, I take as an object of study a subclass of such phenomenon, distinguished by taking the complete dematerialization as the artistic object itself. These artistic proposals, here labeled as "Emptiness Arts", challenge our comprehension and characterization as they are not materially constituted in their exhibition. In this work, I offer a semiotic interpretation and an answer to these challenges. In the chapter 1, I'll restate its historical development and diversity throughout the twentieth century, and simultaneously offer some interpretative hypothesis. These will be properly discussed and analyzed, in their strengths and weakness, in the chapter 2. Then, chapter 3 will offer a separate interpretation for the dilemmas that emptiness arts offer to our comprehension, as they tend to deny some basic suppositions about the art phenomena, one that could put their interpretations into relativistic risk. For such, the semiotic theory of Charles S. Peirce will be presented. This theory, together with his phenomenology and realistic approach, will show itself fruitful in putting together an answer to such dilemmas. In this point, the roles that some constitutive elements play in a semiotic chain involving an emptiness art will be clarified, e.g., the contextual elements of an artistic show and the...

Wang, Xuning. "Realist painting and its relationship to my creative practice". Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2010. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/122.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
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.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.This thesis aims to assess the extent to which the African curated exhibition, Dak’Art: Biennale de l’art africain contemporain , succeeds in subverting hegemonic Western representations of African art as necessarily ‘exotic’ and ‘Other.’ My investigation of the Dak’Art biennale in this thesis is informed and preceded by a study of evolutionist assumptions towards African art and the continuing struggle for command over the African voice. I outline the trajectory of African art from primitive artifact to artwork, highlighting the prejudices that have kept Africans from being valued as equals and unique artists in their own right. I then look at exhibiting techniques employed to move beyond perceptions of the tribal, to subvert the exoticising tendency of the West and remedy the marginalised position of the larger African artistic community.
