Abstract:

Inger Ekdahl was a female painter at the center of Swedish Abstract Expressionism in the fifties. This essay investigates how her art was received in Stockholm and Paris. We conclude that although her type of art dominated the avant-garde in Paris during the late fifties, she was too early for the Swedish avant-garde and did not amass enough support to transform it. The analysis used Actor-Network Theory following Latour.

Abstract:

My most recent body of work frees me from traditional animation and graphic design principles that had become second nature in my creative practice over years of commercial work in industry. I now find myself unconsciously creating shape and form without a preconceived vision of the final outcome. This allows for a free-flowing approach to my canvas. The canvas in which my forms are created is virtual space and can be described as an infinite cube. The first step I take in each of my pieces is creating a cube with the center residing at Cartesian coordinates 0,0,0. From there, I make the decis

Abstract:

Since the 1970s, revisionist art historians have elaborated how Abstract Expressionism was exhibited abroad by the post-war US establishment in order to characterise the movement, especially on Clement Greenberg’s account, as an artistic correlate to United States’ post-war dominance and worldwide imposition of capitalism. However, in this thesis, drawing on the theoretical resources of Theodor W. Adorno and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, I argue that Greenberg’s criticism in fact indicates how Abstract Expressionism stakes a claim against the rule of exchange-value. I interrogate the still prevalent

Abstract Expressionism was arguably the most important art movement after the Second World War and it has in many ways influenced all subsequent art movements in the West.

Abstract Expressionism was presented to the British public through literature and exhibitions by individual Americans and by American institutions after 1947, but it was not until 1956 that Abstract Expressionist paintings became accessible in any quantity.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on Ibram Lassaw's open-lattice works by first discussing works from 1945 to 1950 to outline the conceptual and formal themes that contributed to the later style. The open-lattice form presents a complicated interplay between geometric and biomorphic forms, heaviness and lightness, tangibility and remoteness, and openness--which creates a partial boundary whereby the viewer is able to visually penetrate the form, while still being removed bodily. This thesis attempts to root Lassaw's open-lattice works and his metallic accretion process within the Abstract Expressionism mov

Though never engaging with the surrealists directly, Guston explored automatist ideas upon meeting New York School experimental music composers John Cage and Morton Feldman.

The artist had a role to communicate the sacred reflection in what they surveyed, and was an integral part of creative endeavours.

Abstract:

My art consists of the repetition of patterns, shapes, numbers, text, and found objects that communicate concepts in language, science, and math as art. My work addresses aesthetic and formal aspects of the art itself and embraces the process and experience of creating. I use repetition of lines and shapes to create a complex mass of infinite amounts of shapes, which create what I regard as a peaceful gathering of energy. These patterns can be freely interpreted as the co-dependency between everything in existence, which contributes to the changing balance of life. Similar to my patterns, my s

Abstract:

Darbais kuriame savo istoriją, tarsi stebuklinį mitą, kuris tampa savotišku veidrodžiu, rodančiu regimus ir neregimus mūsų sielos pavidalus. Gintauto Nauronio tapyba taip pat jo gyvenimo metraštis, abstraktūs vaizdai, žmogaus pažvelgimas į save, į savo vidinį pasaulį, charakterio, temperamento savybes, egzistenciją. Aliejinės tapybos darbų kolekcija "Abstrakti vizija"- tai sielos harmonija, kurios nereikia filosofiškai paaiškinti – užtenka išgyventi, pajusti, nuspėti. Dailininko prigimtis, įvaldyta tapybinė technika, sugebanti įkvėpti gyvybę drobei. Įvairiausių spalvų ir atspalv

Abstract:

Les travaux de cette thèse s'inscrivent dans la théorie des automates et des langages formels. ils peuvent se diviser en deux parties qui donnent également deux visions différentes de manipuler les langages dans la théorie des automates. La première partie s'intéresse à la notion de dérivation des expressions qui permet de faire passer le formalisme des quotients de langages au niveau des expressions rationnelles. en particulier cette thèse étudie les termes dérivés cassés d'une expression rationnelle. ces termes dérivés cassés permettent, sous certaines circonstances, et à l'aide d'autres opé

Abstract:

The manifesto of the Quebecer art movement Automatism, the Refus global (Montreal, 1948), is today one of the best known socio-political writings of Quebec. It is considered to have been the beginning of Quebec's cultural modernity and an early sign of its political modernity. In the early 1940's the manifesto's author Paul-Émile Borduas (1905-1960) had already been praised for his art later named &quot;Automatism&quot;. It was seen by the automatists as the evolution of Surrealism (like Abstract Expressionism). Many art critics called this the first Canadian painting that followed the
