Full textAbstract:
This dissertation aims to locate and draw out resonances of impressionism in Swedish and Finland-Swedish prose at the end of the nineteenth century, a field hitherto overlooked in the critical debate on literary impressionism. Through the initial examination of the use of the term in an international context comprising the Scandinavian scene, the aim is to show the many alternative accesses to literary impressionism. By focusing on three landmark discussions on the theme in the Nordic countries of the late nineteenth-century (Herman Bang, the Kristiania Bohème, August Strindberg) the inclusive, wide-ranging Scandinavian understanding of the relationship between impressionism and literature is introduced. Accordingly, the texts thereafter chosen for closer scrutiny are intended to disclose this extensive interpretation of impressionist writing: Helena Westermarck’s short story Aftonstämning (Evening Mood) from 1890 is read as an example of interart transposition, i.e., as a piece of prose adopting a theme, as well as the compositional aesthetics, of painterly impressionism; Stella Kleve’s novels and short stories are instead seen as indicative of the narrative modes of a literary impressionism drawing on theatrical representation, as in Bang’s impressionist poetics, but also present textual features such as the ‘metonymic mode’ and ‘delayed decoding’, elements central to the international approach to impressionist prose. The concluding analysis of fictional impressionists in the prose of authors such as Gustaf af Geijerstam, Mathilda Roos, and Georg Nordensvan advances a many-sided portrait of the impressionist painter while remaining true to this study’s pluralistic approach to literary impressionism by including a discussion of K. A. Tavaststjerna’s Impressionisten (The Impressionist) from 1892, whose protagonist is not an artist but a hypersensitive, impressionable subject. This last section also investigates how fiction is used to convey a critical discussion of the means and methods of painterly impressionism, as well as the function of the use of the visual arts in the texts.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the various roles of food in Impressionism by examining paintings of food so as to sort out their relationship with one another and their linkage to modern life in Paris in the 19th century. Food was related to spectacle, class reconfiguration, gender relations, consumerism and capitalism, and leisure, all of which were part of the revolution of modernity in Paris. By analyzing Impressionist images of food production, display and consumption in relation to these modern social and historical developments, the thesis explores the relationship between food and people, meaning the social dimension of food culture. In addition to standard art historical approaches, two research methods are especially important. First is to understand the general historical context of food imagery by examining 19th-century cookbooks, novels and treatises related to food, and popular visual culture including posters, menus, and prints. Second is to identify and analyze particular food motifs by studying recipes, statistics, and dictionaries of food.
Five chapters deal with five aspects of food. Chapter one talks about the crystallization of food into spectacle as a result of the conspicuous consumption facilitated by the construction of Les Halles, the central food market. Chapter two examines two different kinds of food production – rural agriculture and urban artisan cuisine – as expressions of two dissimilar attitudes towards labor, linked to competing conceptions of time as continuous and discontinuous. Chapter three raises the issue of sociability, where the pleasure of eating can only be obtained through the engendering of a semi-private space linking private eating to public identity. Chapter four shows how the coalescing of food and women in Impressionism intensifies the pleasures of visually and physically consuming the female body, while paradoxically entrapping male viewers in desire. Whereas these first four chapters emphasize social aspects of food, chapter five shows how food affected the interiority of particular artists, demonstrating the embodiment of psychological traits in Impressionist still lifes of food.
Overall, the thesis shows that Impressionist paintings of food actively interpreted and defined modern food culture as a continuous process of spectacularization and systemization, and that they consciously draw parallels between food consumption and visual consumption as similar processes of pleasurable consumption. By revealing that Impressionist food imagery sometimes does not comply with other Impressionist genres in interpreting modernity, the thesis opens new ways of thinking about both food culture and Impressionism.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Fine Arts<br>Master<br>Master of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
Art History<br>Ph.D.<br>In Painting in Paris: Vincent Van Gogh, 1886-1888, Christa DiMarco explores the two-year period Van Gogh lived and worked in Paris. The paintings the artist made in The Netherlands, where he lived prior to Paris, and those he produced in Arles, where he moved afterward, usually receive scholarly attention. The imagery from the artist’s time in the capital is generally marginalized. DiMarco considers how and why the artist used a brighter palette and energetic brushwork while painting in Paris. Considering that his artistic practice spanned only a decade from 1880 to 1890, the artist’s time in the capital represents a significant period of growth in terms of his engagement with the art market, his exposure to avant-garde imagery, and his understanding of Symbolist theory in the visual arts. Van Gogh accomplished significant goals in Paris, though some of his well-developed imagery does not necessarily figure into discussions regarding the canonical paintings of the artist’s body of work. Attention to the Paris-period not only locates Van Gogh’s pictorial development within the context of the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists, but also establishes the ways in which the artist diverged from the artistic aims of the Parisian avant-garde, such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, as he developed his Symbolic approach.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet la réception de l’avant-garde artistique dans la presse politique pendant les trente premières années de la Troisième République en France. Dans la perspective d’analyser la politisation non de la scène artistique mais de sa perception, nous nous proposons d’étudier la notion d’avant-garde artistique à travers le prisme du politique, de rechercher ce que les contemporains politisés des artistes considèrent comme un art à l’avant-garde. Nous nous sommes intéressés à la période longue, de 1874 à 1905, de l’impressionnisme au fauvisme. La première exposition du groupe impressionniste intervient sur la scène parisienne après la proclamation de la Troisième République le 4 septembre 1870, l’échec de la tentative de restauration monarchique de l’automne 1873 mais avant le vote de l’amendement Wallon le 30 janvier 1875 qui officialise la République. Sa réception s’inscrit dans le contexte de l’instauration puis de l’enracinement de la République en France, du passage des républicains de l’opposition au gouvernement. L’analyse de la réception des mouvements artistiques qui se développent à la fin des années 1880 permet quant à elle d’appréhender la perception du paysage artistique par le monde politique, de la gestion de l’État par les républicains modérés à l’accession au gouvernement des radicaux, intransigeants des années 1870. La presse politique, qui n’a pas vocation à discourir sur l’art mais constitue un miroir quotidien présentant une hiérarchie des événements dont elle garde la trace, nous est apparue un médium très pertinent afin de mettre à jour les réactions des spectateurs politisés dont les articles contiennent en filigrane les empreintes<br>In this thesis we study how the artistic avant-garde was perceived by the political press in France during the first thirty years of the Third Republic. We propose to question the notion of avant-garde by studying it through the political prism, trying to ascertain what the artists’ politically aware contemporaries used to consider avant-garde art. We do not focus on the political commitments of the artists, but on the way their art was perceived. We chose to consider a rather long period of time, ranging from 1874 to 1905, from Impressionism to Post-impressionism. The first exhibition of the impressionist group took place just after the Third Republic was proclaimed, on the 4th of September 1870, and the unsuccessful attempt to restore the Monarchy in 1873, but before the Wallon amendment voted in 1875, which formalized the establishment of the Republic. We study its reception both in the wake of the establishment of the Republic and as this political regime settles in France, when the Republicans cease to be part of the opposition and start leading the country. Analysing the reception of the art movements emerging in the late 1880’s allows us to grasp how the political audience reacted to the artistic production from the Moderate Republican government to the Radicals’ – formerly called intransigeants in the late 1870’s. Although the purpose of the political press was not to discuss art per se, it still reported artistic and political events, hierarchically presenting them on a daily basis. Acting as a powerful tool to explore the expectations and reactions of its intended politically aware readers, the political press remains a very relevant source for art historians

Full textAbstract:
This interdisciplinary thesis is the first dedicated study of German Jewish patronage of French Impressionist and post-Impressionist art in Wilhelmine Germany. It investigates the disproportionately strong impact of German Jewish patronage from three perspectives. It examines the significance of Paul Cassirer's modernist art dealership, the prominence of German Jewish art collectors and their modernist art collections and the presence of German Jewish sponsorship at the Nationalgalerie Berlin, the Pinakothek Munich and the Stadelsche Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main. First it examines Impressionism as the 'painting of modern life' in its original French context, focussing on French Jewish dealer-patrons and collectors whose association with French modernist artists influenced not only its iconography, but also involved French Jews in modern art promotion and marketing. The French model serves as a basis for understanding the reception of such art amongst a liberal circle of Germans and German Jews. The study examines the Wilhelmine reaction to French modernism and shows how antagonism toward Jews and France was often linked and interpreted by conservatives as 'alien elements' in nationalist Germany, thus highlighting Impressionism as a threat of a new Weltanschauung. This thesis suggests that although some German Jews acculturated to the dominant Wilhelmine culture, the championing of modernist art actually emphasized their Jewishness and their role as the 'Other' in German society, despite their patriotism. Yet, in the long run, German Jewish taste for the avant-garde had as much influence on German modernism as German taste had on Jews. The study hypothesizes that German Jews embraced French Impressionism as an 'iconography of inclusion' that coincided with their own experience of modern life and thus their patronage served as a component in the construction of their secular identities. The study concludes that strong German Jewish patronage changed the modern art market irrevocably and by doing so it was not only a turning point for the writing of modern art histories, but also for the reassessment of German Jewish cultural identities, thereby proving that the history of modernist European art patronage encompassed also a history of ideas.

Berthe Morisot was one of the founders of the French Impressionist movement in the nineteenth century. However, she is not researched with the same level of respect as her male Impressionist counterparts. Scholars often rely on her biography to analyze her artwork, compare her to other women artists, or briefly mention her accomplishments in a generalized history of the French Impressionist movement. I analyzed nine of Morisot's paintings and applied feminist theory, including third-wave feminism (post-1960's). My research was angled to approach and understand Morisot's artwork as a contemporary woman would at an exhibition.

Full textAbstract:
Feminist art historians reassessed French Impressionist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) throughout the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, a period in which her work coincidentally received steady exposure in major museum exhibitions. This thesis examines how the feminist art historical project intersects with exhibitions that give prominence to Morisot’s work. Critical reviews by Morisot scholars argue that more frequent display of the artist’s work has not correlated to nuanced interpretation. Moreover, prominent feminist scholars and museum theorists maintain that curators virtually exclude their contributions. Attending to these recurrent concerns, this thesis charts shifts in emphases and inquiry in writing centered on Morisot to survey the extent to which curators convey new constructions of her artistic, social, and historical identities. This analysis will observe how distinct exhibition forms—the retrospective, the Impressionism blockbuster, and the gendered “women Impressionists” show—may frame Morisot’s work differently according to their organizing principles.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the transformation of the mirror's symbolic role in the poetry and visual art of late nineteenth-century Paris. For centuries the mirror has been associated with both truth and artifice, whether in religion, popular culture, art, or theories of aesthetics. In the context of nineteenth-century literature, M.H. Abrams uses the mirror to represent the age-old idea of the artist as an objective reflector of the world, juxtaposing this with the nineteenth-century notion of the artist as a subjective lamp. However, this thesis shows that, far from being abandoned as a symbol of artistic expression, the mirror motif was reclaimed and reinterpreted by Baudelaire and his artistic and poetic successors. The thesis argues that their works highlight the distortions and ambiguities that the mirror can produce, using it as a motif to challenge and alter our mode of vision. This thesis focuses on the visual and poetic culture of Paris between 1850 and 1900, when mirrors were increasingly visible in a range of public and private settings. Building on Walter Benjamin's descriptions of Paris as a city of mirrors and a locus of multiple, shifting gazes, the thesis examines how the perceptual experiences of modernity feed into the development of the mirror's symbolic role. Through a series of close readings, the thesis analyses the dynamics of mirror-vision and explores the shared preoccupations of art and poetry in their treatment of subjectivity, vision, and self-reflexive artistic practices. The thesis is arranged into three sections, examining texts by Charles Baudelaire, Henri de Régnier, Jules Laforgue, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Marie Krysinska, and artworks by Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Berthe Morisot, and Mary Cassatt. The first section assesses Baudelaire's works as a turning point for the mirror's symbolic significance, particularly examining how Baudelaire reinterprets the association between mirrors and femininity. The second section explores this latter connection in the art and poetry of Baudelaire's late nineteenthcentury successors. The third section examines the mirror's appearance in various ambiguous or ill-defined spaces, assessing how this affects the reader's or viewer's perceptions. I conclude that in the art and poetry of this period, the mirror becomes an emblem of self-reflexivity. Through works that prioritise mobility, multiplicity, and fragmentation, these artists and poets subvert the mirror's associations with mimesis in order to expose the dynamic uncertainty of vision and artistic representation.

Cette thèse se focalise sur la circulation et l’intégration de l’impressionnisme français aux États-Unis entre 1870 et 1915. Afin d’apporter un éclairage nouveau sur la propagation du mouvement outre-Atlantique, une méthodologie pluridisciplinaire a été développée. D’une part, une base de données des collectionneurs et des expositions tenues aux États-Unis vise à discerner les grandes tendances de la propagation du mouvement dans le pays. L’homogénéité géographique de la dispersion des œuvres du mouvement est ainsi abordée. En effet, si le Nord-Est du pays demeure le foyer central de diffusion artistique, des œuvres du mouvement circulent à l’Ouest dès la fin du XIXe siècle. D’autre part, des études de cas précises d’acquisitions et de circulations d’œuvres permettent de mettre en lumière des dynamiques propres au goût américain et à cette appropriation. Ces exemples précis visent à souligner certains acteurs clés – aussi bien des critiques d’art, des commissaires d’expositions, que des universitaires – dans l’intégration de l’impressionnisme français à la culture américaine. Ce travail cherche donc à développer une histoire transatlantique de l’impressionnisme, cette approche étant indispensable pour comprendre la réception de ce mouvement, ainsi qu’à mettre en évidence les acteurs et les circuits qui en ont permis son entrée dans le patrimoine culturel des États-Unis<br>This dissertation focuses on the circulation and spread of French Impressionism in the United States between 1870 and 1915. In order to shed new light on the movement’s integration in the United States, a multidisciplinary methodology was developed. On the one hand, a database of collectors and exhibitions held in the United States aims to identify major trends in the movement’s spread. Whether or not French Impressionist pieces as well as ideas were distributed and discussed evenly throughout the nation is thus addressed. Indeed, if the North-East remains the central hub of artistic distribution, French Impressionist pieces circulated in the Midwest and on the West Coast during the last decades of the nineteenth century. On the other hand, specific case studies of acquisitions and circulations of works serve to emphasize significant trends in American taste and ownership. These specific examples aim to highlight some of the key actors—art critics, curators, and academics—in the integration of French Impressionism into American culture. This study therefore seeks to develop a transatlantic history of Impressionism, a scale that is essential to understand the reception of the movement and to shed light on the actors and circuits that have enabled its entrance into the United States’ cultural heritage

Wengier, Sabrina Emilie. "The Politics and Poetics of Ekphrasis in Nineteenth-Century French Art Novels." Scholarly Repository, 2010. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/383.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores how literary descriptions of visual artworks affect the narrative and descriptive fabric of a text. The novels I examine operate on three textual levels: the painter's creative struggles, his amorous entanglements with his model and/or the painted women of his canvas, and his aesthetic claims to revolutionize painting. My project argues that ekphrasis is a translational mode that takes two forms: the traditional, "contained" description of a visual artwork; and a mode of writing that pervades the entire text and emulates the characteristics of painting. For example, Balzac's "Le Chef d'oeuvre inconnu" and the Goncourts' Manette Salomon successfully adopt the ekphrastic mode of writing, transforming the narrative into a canvas where the boundaries between the media are blurred. On the other hand, Zola's L'oeuvre exploits ekphrasis in order to advance the superiority of literature over painting. At the heart of these Realist and Naturalist texts, the fundamental adherence to the mimetic principle of art is confronted with the nonfigurative experiments of their fictional painters. The female body, as the embodiment of Art and the manifestation of the artist's desire, becomes the symptom of his incursion into abstract painting and the site of the resistance to ekphrasis.

Full textAbstract:
En 1946, la parution à New York de l’Histoire de l’impressionnisme de John Rewald consacra l’aura d’une historiographie scientifique du mouvement, cautionnée par un investissement documentaire. Cette qualité l’opposait à un monde profane, dominé par une tradition orale et en particulier la réputation de certains témoignages. Un examen attentif ne saurait pourtant donner raison au postulat d’une nature exclusivement savante du document. Une documentation impressionniste se constitua en effet, dès le début du XXe siècle, par l’intermédiaire de producteurs hétéroclites, artistes, témoins, héritiers, critiques, journalistes, aussi bien qu’historiens professionnels, conservateurs et universitaires. Elle peut ainsi être envisagée autant comme le fruit d’une quête de la vérité factuelle que comme l’appropriation d’un objet d’étude populaire, à travers ses empreintes écrites et visuelles. L’appareillage des lectures de l’impressionnisme réunit de la sorte : les autographes ; les memorabilia, meubles ou immeubles chargés du souvenir des peintres ; les technologies photographique et cinématographique. Ces documents participaient en outre d’une culture visuelle plus vaste, incluant les monuments et les plaques commémoratives dans l’espace public, ou encore les motifs transformés par l’acte pictural en points de vue remarquables. L’étude historique et critique de l’écriture de l’histoire impressionniste comme (dé)monstration documentaire permet de revenir sur les circonstances sociales et visuelles de sa mise en œuvre, sur les enjeux de carrière auxquels elle participa, et sur les missions qui lui furent assignées au sein de différents discours sur l’art, savants et profanes<br>In 1946 the publication of John Rewald’s History of Impressionism in New York consecrated the aura of the movement’s scientific historiography, supported by documentary investment. This quality confronted laymen’s narratives, which oral tradition and some witness’s accounts’ reputations dominated. Yet, a close consideration could not agree with the assumption of an exclusive scholarly nature of the document. Since the beginning of the 20th century, varied producers, such as artists, witnesses, heirs, critics, journalists, as well as professional historians, museum curators and academics formed an impressionist documentation. It thus can be interpreted as a quest for factual truth, as much as an appropriation of a research object through its written and visual marks. The equipment of impressionist readings hence gathered are: autographs; memorabilia, movable and physical assets as souvenirs of artists; photographic and cinematographic technologies. Moreover, these documents fit into a broader visual culture which included monuments and commemorative plaques of the public sphere, or motives transformed by pictorial acts into remarkable viewpoints. A historical and critical study of such a writing of history as documentary (de)monstration allows here to look back to its execution’s social and visual contexts, the career issues in which it participated, the goals that had been assigned to it within both scholars’ and laymen’s art discourses

Full textAbstract:
During the 19th century, France was a cultural stronghold filled with political aspects and dreams. Art flourished and the ancient heroic ideals had shaped the male nude art for many years. But new times would come and change the artistic basis forever. The start of Impressionism also became the beginning of a new era, where gender roles began to be questioned and the image of masculinity began to falter. An artistic revolution saw the light of day, artists no longer wanted to follow the traditional rules and normative footprints that had been put in the ground long before their days. Gustave Caillebotte, a young rich art collector and a dear friend of the impressionistic circle started to paint just for fun, without knowing that his name would echo over the world more than a century after his death. Male nude art was strictly marginalized during the 19th century, but Caillebotte would be one of the first artists who dared to defy the traditional rules. The purpose of the essay is to get a better idea of the norms that influenced French oil painting during the 19th century and how the artist Gustave Caillebotte related to the classical image convention with his two works Man in the Bath and Man Wipes His Leg. The essay will delve into an analysis of these two motifs and examine how they challenged the heteronormative gaze, also called the male gaze, before the essay concludes with an empirical result.

Full textAbstract:
Whereas conditions have existed for many centuries which served to exclude or marginalize female participation in music, many women have written compositions of musical worth sufficient to justify their contemporary performance. Although most women composers wrote works more fitting for the "salon" than for the concert hall at the turn of the century, Boulanger and Mahler are representative of the few women composers whose complex approach to art song fell within the mainstream of the genre. Many of their accompaniments attain a level of technical difficulty not previously found in women composers' writing. They offer an interesting comparison between nationalities and styles in that they both favored Symbolist texts. However, each represents a different side of the coin in her musical interpretation of Symbolism: Boulanger, Impressionism, and Mahler, Expressionism. In addition, even though their styles involve opposite musical expressions, they both show a strong influence of Wagner in their writing. This study includes background on turn-of-the-century music and musicians encompassing the role of art song among women composers. Symbolism is addressed as it applies to the poets selected by the composers, followed by information regarding the specific musical representation of Symbolist texts in the composers' art songs. The chapter of analysis serves as a means to guide musical decisions in the actual performance of the works. The conclusion briefly discusses performance practice issues and the possibility of a turn-of-the-century feminine aesthetic.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1837, when the first railraod were authorized by the July Monarchy, through the 1870s there were vociferous public debates on the utility of the train, large scale government funding for rail infrastructure, and notable depictions of the train in print, photography and literature. During this period there was also a notable - if currently unrecognized - dearth of painted depictions. This absence suggests that the Impressionists' paintings of the railroad in the 1870s were more than novel images of modern life, and provide evidence of the contested perception of the railroad, industrialization and aspects of modernization in the aftermath of l'année terrible that so far have been unaddressed by art historians and scholars of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Critique et historien de l’art autodidacte, mais aussi éditeur, galeriste, commissaire d’exposition, expert, courtier et infatigable homme de terrain, Julius Meier-Graefe (1867-1935) joua un rôle prééminent dans le monde de l’art européen des trente premières années du XXe siècle. Basé sur l’examination d’archives et de correspondances inédites ainsi que sur une relecture attentive de son vaste corpus d’écrits publiés, ce travail entend retracer la trajectoire d’un passeur téméraire souvent réduit à un rôle de défenseur de l’impressionnisme français dans l’Allemagne de Guillaume II. Si son progressisme francophile tout comme le formalisme de son approche des arts visuels ont parfois été soulignés, l’analyse détaillée de son implication dans le marché de l’art, le monde des musées et plus généralement, dans les débats politico-culturels de son temps, révèle une personnalité plus nuancée. Bien que méfiant envers les fantasmes identitaires des élites allemandes conservatrices, Meier-Graefe lutta sans répit pour un nationalisme d’ouverture, espérant infléchir le cours d’une culture germanique disloquée et hostile aux valeurs de la modernité. En suivant la carrière de cet Allemand cosmopolite, brutalement cisaillée par la Grande Guerre et achevée en France en exil du nazisme, cette thèse entend décrypter les mécanismes d’un projet de régénération culturelle ambitieux, impliquant actes et discours. Alternant entre phases d’enthousiasme intense et de profond désenchantement, Meier-Graefe s’y dévoile comme le chantre d’une modernité idéalisée dont il condamna obstinément les embardées avant-gardistes<br>Self-taught art critic and historian, but also publisher, gallery owner, curator, expert, broker and tireless field man, Julius Meier-Graefe (1867-1935) played a prominent role in the European art world of the early 20th century. Based on a close study of numerous archives and letters, as well as a careful rereading of his vast body of published work, this dissertation endeavours to retrace the life of a reckless facilitator, whose career is too often reduced to the role of “importer” of modern French art in Germany. If Meier-Graefe has been frequently identified through his progressive francophile positions and formalistic viewpoints on visual arts, a detailed analysis of his involvement in the art market and institutions—and more broadly, in the political/cultural debates of his time—reveals a richer personality. Wary of the identity concerns shared by conservative elites of the Empire, he vigorously encouraged a “positive” nationalism, hoping to adjust the course of a fragmented Germanic culture hostile to the values of modernity. Tracing the steps of a cosmopolitan German whose path was brutally affected by the outbreak of World War I, this essay examines the mechanisms of his ambitious project of cultural regeneration, involving both action and discourse. Jostled between phases of enthusiasm and deep disillusionment, Meier-Graefe emerges as the champion of an idealized modernism, whose avant-garde experiments he nevertheless severely condemned

Full textAbstract:
Alfred Stieglitz and the members of '291' are most often remembered in the art historical literature for introducing modernism into America through the work of European artists and through the integration of current European formal experiments into the work of American artists. While some authors have referred to the fact that this modernism, as presented by 291, was intended to critique society, any analysis of that critique is conspicuously missing. Also absent is an analysis of what one contemporary critic referred to as the "queer symbolism lurking at the Post-Impressionist hypothesis." In this thesis the following questions are asked: what was 291's critique and why did they insist upon the expression of the 'irrational' states of the psyche — passion, intuition and imagination, in their art. By situating 291 within its particular set of contexts I attempt to explain what their position represented — to the members themselves and to their rivals.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of<br>Graduate

Le 29 janvier 1906, un groupe d’artistes et de collectionneurs créent au Havre le Cercle de l’art moderne. Parmi eux : les peintres Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy et Émile Othon Friesz, l’architecte Édouard Choupaÿ, le critique littéraire G. Jean-Aubry et quelques-uns des plus importants amateurs d’art de ce début de siècle : Olivier Senn, Charles-Auguste Marande, Pieter van der Velde, Georges Dussueil… L’association se fixe comme objectif de promouvoir l’art moderne dans toute sa diversité, organisant des expositions, des conférences et des concerts de musique. Monet, Renoir, Signac mais surtout les fauves, Matisse, Derain, Manguin, Marquet, Van Dongen, Vlaminck exposent leurs créations les plus récentes tandis que Debussy, Ravel et Roussel interprètent leurs compositions les plus originales. Frantz Jourdain et Guillaume Apollinaire apportent leur parrainage à l’association, qui affiche d’emblée sa filiation avec le Salon des XX à Bruxelles et le jeune Salon d’Automne à Paris. Le succès est retentissant, dépassant largement les frontières de la Ville. Cette thèse se propose de montrer combien ces années ont été cruciales pour Le Havre qui voit se créer un véritable marché de l’art fauve avec ses marchands, ses critiques d’art et ses amateurs. Le Cercle de l’art moderne a définitivement infléchi la politique artistique havraise vers une ouverture à l’art contemporain, plaçant la ville au rang de capitale culturelle de l’art moderne, dans une relation directe avec Paris et Bruxelles<br>On the 29th of January 1906, a group of artists and collectors created the “Circle of Modern Art” in Le Havre. Among them were painters Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy and Émile Othon Friesz, the architect Édouard Choupaÿ, the art critic G. Jean-Aubry and some of the most important collectors of that time: Olivier Senn, Charles -Auguste Marande, Pieter van der Velde, Georges Dussueil and many others. The association's goal was to promote all aspects of Modern Art, organised many activities such as exhibits, conferences, concerts and so on. Monet, Renoir, Signac and especially the French “Fauves”—Matisse, Derain, Manguin, Marquet, Van Dongen, Vlaminck—exhibited their most recent creations while Debussy, Ravel and Roussel performed their most recent original compositions. Frantz Jourdain and Guillaume Apollinaire supported the association, which early on showed its affiliation with the Salon des XX in Brussels and the young Salon d'Automne in Paris. It was a great success in Le Havre and throughout France and Europe, resounding far beyond the city's borders. This study goes back to those crucial years in Le Havre and focuses on that very special time that saw the creation of a real art market devoted to the “Fauve” painters, with its art dealers, critics and collectors. The “Circle of Modern Art” definitely influenced the artistic policy of Le Havre, opening it up to contemporary art and ranking the city as a cultural Capital of Modern Art, directly in conjunction with Paris and Brussels

Full textAbstract:
Il nostro percorso copre l ultimo ventennio del XIX secolo. In un contesto ora definito decadente, ora caratterizzato da un fermento di idee, situiamo la figura di Octave Mirbeau, critico d arte, romanziere, drammaturgo, saggista, del quale evidenziamo lo stretto legame tra le sue idee in ambito artistico e la sua poetica.
Dopo un rapido schizzo della storia della critica d arte ed una panoramica della ricezione dell opera impressionista in Francia, ci concentriamo sull estetica di Octave Mirbeau, che tentiamo di snocciolare dalla lettura delle sue cronache artistiche.
Dopo aver constatato la difficile delimitazione del gruppo impressionista e avendo avanzato una proposta di revisione della nozione di impressionismo letterario, valutiamo l influenza dei commentari d arte sulla produzione romanzesca mirbelliana degli anni Ottanta e Novanta. A tal proposito, ci concentriamo sui romanzi Le Calvaire (1886), L Abbé Jules (1888) e Sébastien Roch (1890), all interno dei quali notiamo l impiego di modalità descrittive influenzate dalla pratica della critica dell arte impressionista. In particolare, l attenzione alla luce ed agli aspetti indistinti del paesaggio, dove si riscontra una fusione degli elementi (acqua, luce, vapore), testimonia tale contaminazione.
In seguito analizziamo il romanzo Dans le ciel, comparso en feuilleton tra 1892 e 1893 alla luce della nozione di fluidità, che ci pare fondare l estetica impressionista, collegandola tanto al simbolismo quanto alla filosofia di Bergson. A tal fine, interroghiamo la mobilità di senso, la dinamica tra presenza ed assenza delle immagini, la dissoluzione della personalità dei personaggi ed il perdersi della parola nel silenzio.

Notre thèse se concentre sur la question des mécanismes de restructuration du système du monde de l’art à Bruxelles à la fin du XIXe siècle. Nous cherchons à démontrer comment une nouvelle scène artistique construite autour du cercle des XX à Bruxelles, dont l’épanouissement sera pris en charge par l’animateur d’art Octave Maus, produit un art qui est influencé par les enjeux sociaux et politiques portés par un milieu défini de manière sociale, culturelle et générationnelle.<p>Nous avons ainsi voulu replacer le groupe des XX dans son contexte économique, politique et social. La diversification des approches et des sources était donc un aspect essentiel de nos recherches. Plusieurs voies d’approche ont été empruntées, telles que l’histoire culturelle, la sociologie de l’art, l’histoire du marché de l’art, l’analyse politique ainsi que l’étude de la visual culture. <p>Dans un premier temps, nous analysons l’émergence de la nouvelle scène artistique construite autour du groupe des XX. Nous débutons par une analyse plus monographique du parcours de Maus afin de définir les qualités essentielles de l’animateur d’art qu’il incarne, ainsi que son rôle dans la reconfiguration du milieu culturel. Ensuite, notre étude se concentre sur la mobilisation d’un public autour des salons et la mise en place d’un nouveau marché de l’art aux XX. <p>Dans un second temps, notre étude se penche sur les œuvres créées par les XX et sélectionnées par le public d’amateurs fidèles au groupe. Nous éclairons cette production artistique en y décelant les influences des questionnements et des prises de position sociales et politiques du public des XX, défini précédemment. L’analyse iconographique et stylistique des œuvres s’accompagne d’un travail sur ce milieu culturel, et particulièrement sur ses positions face aux débats sociaux de l’époque. Cette étude aboutit, d’une part, à une description approfondie du public des XX, et, d’autre part, à une meilleure compréhension de l’originalité de la production esthétique des artistes du groupe. /<p><p>This PhD thesis concentrates on the mechanisms by which the artistic world in Brussels was reorganized at the end of the 19th century. The research focuses on the places, institutions, publics, art markets and aesthetic developments that characterized the new artistic scene constructed around the “Salon des XX”. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that this artistic circle, led by Octave Maus, produced an art influenced by social, political and economic issues. Another aim has been to analyze the public that defended the artists by studying its social, cultural and generational nature.<p>This thesis, which is divided into two parts, for the first time explores the circle of the XX in its economic, political and social environment. The diversification of sources and scientific methods was therefore an essential aspect of the research. Different methods were applied such as, for example, the cultural history, the sociology of art, the history of the art market, political sciences and the visual culture.<p>The first part of this study is about the emergence of a new artistic scene founded around the “Groupe des XX”. The first objective was to investigate the personal and professional path followed by Octave Maus, the manager of the XX, who played a major role in the evolution of the cultural world. Subsequently the research focuses on the mobilization of a particular public and the creation of a new art market around the XX’s exhibitions.<p>The second part of this thesis considers the works of art created by the artists of the “Groupe des XX” and chosen by the public for private collections. New light is shed on this artistic production by the study of the social and political position of the XX’s public, considered as a social group. Hence the iconographic and stylistic analysis of the works goes together with a study of the XX’s milieu, and in particular with its political action. The present thesis, and the method that aims to study the works in parallel with the public’s social nature, lead to a better understanding of the cultural milieu and, at the same time, of the originality of the XX’s artistic creation. <p><p><br>Doctorat en Histoire, art et archéologie<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose de décomposer le spectre des commentaires critiques, historiques ou littéraires qui se sont projetés sur l'œuvre d'Édouard Manet dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, en regard de multiples contrepoints visuels. Cet «exercice de style méthodologique total» que permet Manet, selon les mots de Pierre Bourdieu, vise à rendre compte d'une réception mythique, monumentale et pourtant méconnue, tout en procédant en permanence à l'analyse réflexive de ses propres outils d'investigation. Par le prisme de ces présences posthumes très hétérogènes, souvent d'une grande violence, le but est de retracer la généalogie du concept narratif de «modernité» qui s'est déployé à partir d'Édouard Manet, en Europe et aux États-Unis, alors que son œuvre était simultanément défigurée en incarnation du classicisme national. Plus qu'une origine, Manet peut alors se définir comme un «carrefour» : un embranchement, à la puissance spéculaire considérable, d'idéologies, d'historicités et de projections fantasmagoriques. Ces analyses ont pour objet des réseaux très denses d'attraction, de répulsion, et de contamination entre différents systèmes d' énonciation dissonants, envisagés en regard des procédés déployés par Manet lui-même, dans le mouvement d'une œuvre à la fois profondément relationnelle et d'une radicale altérité. La problématique récurrente du fractionnement - dans la multiplicité de ses enjeux et de ses déterminations schizoïdes, du dualisme au fétichisme - forme le fil directeur de cet effort d'exhumation intellectuelle : est ici retracée en détail l'impossible tentative d'en finir avec un peintre qui ne cesse d'inquiéter une modernité constituée sur son nom<br>The purpose of this dissertation is to decompose the spectrum of commentary, historical and literary, along with the multiple visual counterpoints, that were generated from the work of Édouard Manet in the first half of the 20th century. Manet allows for this « total methodological exercise », in Pierre Bourdieu's words, which endeavours to reckon with a mythical, monumental, yet mostly unknown reception, while continually conducting a reflexive analysis of its own investigative tools. Through the scope of these posthumous, heterogeneous and often extremely violent occurrences, the goal is to retrace the genealogy of the narrative concept of« modernity » which was uncoiled from the figure of Édouard Manet, in Europe and the United States, during a time when his work was simultaneously being distorted as an incarnation of national classicism. More than a point of origin, Manet can be defined as a « crossroad » : a powerful specular junction of ideologies, historicities and phantasmagorical projections. The abject of these analyses is the dense network of attraction, repulsion, and contamination that has been woven between the various and discordant systems of enunciation, studied in the light of processes set up by Manet himself, through a body of work both profoundly relational, yet radically alien. The recurrent question of fractioning, in its multiple issues and schizoid determinations - from dualism to fetishism - make up the guiding principle of this effort of intellectual exhumation; here are retraced in detail the impossible attempts that were made to do away with a painter who has time and again proven to be cause for concern to an idea of modernity created under his name

Full textAbstract:
Jacques-Émile Blanche (1861-1942) is rarely included in histories of late nineteenth-century French art, despite his prolific career as an artist who produced over 2,000 paintings. A portraitist, Blanche’s upbringing as the son of an eminent psychiatrist provided him with a wealth of sitters connected to his father’s fashionable clinic and, I argue, a distinctive approach to their representation. These relatively unstudied portraits of famous Parisian intellectuals and socialites deserve our attention as works of ‘psychological impressionism’. Combining penetrating observation with painterly execution, Blanche’s methods emphasised the ‘nervous’ disposition of his sitters. Blanche’s practice as a portraitist is one of the reasons for his neglect. His contemporaries were evasive when it came to writing about the genre, uncertain of how to evaluate it – a critical apprehension that has persisted to this day. Art historians are as implicated in what may be thought of as a hesitation around the status and significance of portraiture in late-nineteenth-century French art. The thesis seeks in part to redress this through its examination of Blanche’s portraits as intuitive works of art that not only reflected but also, more actively, produced particular forms of knowledge about the ‘nervous’ condition of Parisian high society. With a focus on Blanche’s depictions of Marcel Proust (1871-1922) and the Comtesse de Castiglione (1837-1899), the thesis considers Blanche’s ‘neurasthenic portraits’ in relation to discourses on modern psychiatry, modernity, and modern art, drawing attention to how they enrich our understanding of the social, cultural and artistic contexts in which Blanche lived and worked. By situating Blanche’s artistic practice within his father’s clinical practice, and by embracing a methodology that draws upon both the histories of art and psychiatry, I argue that the language of Blanche’s portraiture was environmentally connected to the language of nervous disorder. As such this thesis will provide an original contribution to the scholarship on Blanche and offer significant insights into the entanglement of art, culture and nerves in nineteenth-century Paris.

Vi omges ständigt av ljus i vår vardag, det finns naturligt ljus samt artificiellt. Även under de grå dagarna finns det ljus och dess närvaro är alltid där även om den inte alltid är som klarast. I detta kandidatarbete beskrivs ljuset ur olika synvinklar, men framförallt hur Rembrandt och impressionisterna i sina konstverk använt ljuset i sitt skapande. För att få en bredare syn på vår process tar vi hjälp av de två begreppen “fluid” och “fire” som kommer från aktör-nätverksteori (ANT). Utifrån den teoretiska delen av arbetet skapas en gestaltning i form av digitala illustrationer med budskapet “våga vara dig själv”. Detta görs i form av olika porträtt där ljuset ligger i fokus inte bara i ljussättningen utan även som en helhet. Med hjälp av den teoretiska och praktiska delen av kandidatarbetet har det framgått att frågeställningen “Hur kan man med illusionen av ljus skapa ett porträtt med digitala medier?” kan besvaras på olika vis, då vi illustrerat ljuset med olika uttrycksätt och visuella språk.<br>We are constantly surrounded by light in our daily lives, there’s natural and artificial light. During cloudy days there is light and it’s presence is always there even if it’s not the clearest. In this bachelor thesis we examine the light from different angles, but above all how Rembrandt and the impressionists in their artwork used the light. To get a broader view of our process, we use the two terms "fluid" and "fire" from actor-network theory (ANT). Based on the theoretical part of our work, we created digital illustrations with the message “Dare to be yourself”. This is done in the form of various portraits, where the light is in focus not only in the lighting but also as a whole. With the help of the theoretical and practical part of the bachelor thesis we are shown that the question "How can one with the illusion of light create a portrait with digital media?" can be answered in different ways, as we illustrate light with different expressions and visual languages.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the meanings and uses of the impression in the essays and late novels of Henry James. While James found fault with impressionism in French painting and literature, he repeatedly called the novel an ‘impression of life’, and used the term to figure important moments of perception and action for his protagonists. This thesis offers the first full-length study of the impression on its own terms, rather than through the lens of a wider artistic or philosophical movement, the most obvious example being impressionism. It locates James’s impression within an intertextual history comprising British empiricist philosophy (Locke and Hume), empiricist psychology (William James), British aestheticism (Pater and Wilde), and, looking forwards, twentieth-century theories of the performative (Austin, Derrida, de Man, Butler). It offers a series of close readings of James’s non-fictional and fictional treatments of the impression in his early criticism and travel writing (1872-88), his prefaces to the New York edition (1907-09), and the three novels of his major phase, The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902), and The Golden Bowl (1904). This exploration does not produce any unified definition of the impression in the work of James. It finds, rather, that the impression crystallizes one of James’s main themes, the struggle between art and life, a consequence of the competing empiricist and aesthetic tendencies that the thesis distinguishes within accounts of the impression available to James. The thesis goes on to show that impressions in James may be made as well as received, and so introduces a further distinction, between ‘performative’ and ‘cognitive’ impressions. It argues that what James does with these competing impressions – empiricist and aesthetic, cognitive and performative – is to make them the narrative focus of his late novels and their drama of consciousness.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Bedeutung der Landschafts- und Marinemalerei für die nationale Einheit und bürgerliche Identifikation im Kaiserreich und in der Weimarer Republik beispielhaft am Werk des Berliner Secessionskünstlers Ulrich Hübner (1872-1932) untersucht. Zu Beginn wird die Rolle der Landschaft für die Konstitution von Staatswesen und nationaler Identität allgemein erläutert, um deutlich zu machen, vor welchem Hintergrund die Landschaftsmalerei Ulrich Hübners einen Beitrag zur bürgerlich-nationalen Identitätsfindung im (neugegründeten) Nationalstaat leisten konnte. Im Hauptteil werden dazu anhand Hübners biographischer Stationen unterschiedliche Gesichtspunkte, wie die pluralistischen Einflüsse auf Hübners Landschaftsmalerei, seine Rolle in der Berliner Secession, seine Positionierung auf dem Kunstmarkt, seine Rezeption durch die Kunstkritik und seine Funktion an der Akademie der Künste, untersucht.
Hübners Konzentration auf Küstendarstellungen, Seestücke und Stadtansichten führte in Abgrenzung zur Marinemalerei zu dem neuen Typus der Stadt- und Wasserlandschaft, zwischen klassischer Veduten- und Landschaftsmalerei und impressionistischen Stimmungsbildern. Auf Grundlage des erstellten Werkverzeichnisses wird durch die Betrachtung Hübners Werks im Gesamtzusammenhang des Berliner Kunstgeschehens unter dem Aspekt des wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Erfolges und der Entwicklung des privatwirtschaftlichen Kunstmarktes deutlich, wie ein Künstler in diesem System agierte. Hübners Erfolg mit dem neuen Typus der Stadtlandschaft und der Konzentration auf bestimmte Vertriebswege und erfolgreiche Motive steht exemplarisch für den deutschen Impressionismus in Zeiten des Stilpluralismus. Als Vertreter einer moderaten Moderne wurden seine Gemälde heimatlicher Landschaften Identifikationsbilder des aufgeschlossenen Bürgertums und somit eine Versicherung von Kontinuität in den politisch bewegten Zeiten vom Kaiserreich bis zum Ende der Weimarer Republik.<br>This doctoral thesis examines the significance of landscape and maritime painting for the national unity and civil identification in Imperial Germany and the Weimar Republic through the case study of the oeuvre of the Berlin Secession artist Ulrich Hübner (1872-1932).
In the first instance, we will outline the effect that landscape painting in general had on the constitution of the political system and national identity in order to assess the extent of which Hübner’s landscape painting contributed towards the shaping of a civil-national identity in the newly founded nation state. To this effect we will then study key events in his biography, focusing on the following aspects: the pluralist influences that shape Hübner’s landscape painting, his role in the Berlin Secession, his place in the art market, art criticism’s response to his work and his position at the Berlin Academy of Arts.
Hübner’s focus on coastal views, sea- and cityscapes, as opposed to maritime painting, lead to the new type of Urban Landscape and Waterscape which is situated between classical Veduta and landscape painting on one hand and impressionist “Stimmungsbilder” on the other. The catalogue raisonné will form the basis on which we examine his oeuvre in the context of the greater Berlin art scene with particular emphasis on his commercial and social success on one hand as well as seen within the more specific framework which is the development of the commercial art market on the other. The success Hübner had with his new type of Urban Landscape and his focus on specific commercial channels and successful subject matters is exemplary for the German Impressionism in times of stylistic pluralism. Representing a moderate Modernism, his paintings of “Heimat”-landscapes became symbols that the liberal bourgeoisie could identify with and thereby a guarantee of continuity during the politically agitated times from the beginning of the German Empire to the end of the Weimar Republic.

Does God exist? Can we know for sure? What might it mean to know this? Furthermore what might it look like to make works of art while also seeking to find answers to these questions? This thesis details my personal experiences growing up in a world steeped in postmodernism and my move to answer such questions while looking to develop a meaningful, clear worldview and body of work. I have turned my focus on specific episodes in my life, which significantly illuminate a progression of thinking and experience. Together these thoughts and experiences have become the impetus for both questions and propositions embedded within the long haul of my work culminating in my thesis exhibition.

Full textAbstract:
<p> The art form of solo steel pan is still in its early stages of development since its general birth in the 1940s. Its development has traditionally consisted primarily of performing Western Classical adaptations, traditional music styles of the Caribbean, and improvised solos. However, since the 1980s composers such as Liam Teague have begun composing and publishing original works for solo steel pan such as “Impressions”, that have helped to elevate the instrument beyond its commonly viewed identity as a novelty, and legitimize its profundity and versatility.</p><p> This project report examines Liam Teague, the art form of solo steel pan, and how his piece “Impressions” has contributed to furthering its continued development. It will look at some of the challenges facing the development of solo steel pan and will draw some parallels to the development of solo marimba repertoire. Numerous experts in the field of steel pan were interviewed for this research and it will include a discussion of what type of repertoire is needed to further the practice of solo steel pan. Several compositional elements and performance considerations of “Impressions” will also be examined.</p>

Les données scientifiques sur le thème de la vision animale, vont être la matière d'œuvre d'une expression plastique, dont l'objectif est de révéler de nouveaux univers. Les recherches prennent en compte des paramètres physiques et physiologiques, afin de révéler d'autre monde que celui de l'humain. Je propose ainsi la réalisation d'une simulation de phénomènes visuels réels ou imaginaires. L'étude porte sur le traitement des repères spatiaux temporels et de leur représentation formelle, chromatique et tridimensionnelle. Sous forme d'une invitation onirique à la connaissance, le film "Animal Vision" traduit l'univers d'une vingtaine de spécimens, animaux et insectes. À partir de la première expérimentation, un cahier des charges d'un appareil perceptif, réglable en temps réel est établi. "Qui n‘a jamais rêvé d’être …Un animal ?" devient l'idée fédératrice d'"Animal Explorer". L'installation propose aux participants d'évoluer à la place d'un animal dans un espace immersif interactif. Retransmis en direct aux visiteurs, le dispositif permet de rassembler et d'observer simultanément l'ensemble des visions. L'expérience propose aux acteurs totalement interdépendants dans le même monde, de le vivre comme radicalement différent. Cette seconde expérimentation permet de mettre en évidence que par son interprétation, son intuition, sa sensibilité et son activité créatrice, l'artiste devient un agent visionnaire, révélateur d'univers insoupçonnés. Les combinaisons entre la rationalité, la rigueur et la sensibilité de mon approche, expriment une rencontre complémentaire et harmonieuse entre l'art et la science<br>The scientific data on the subject of the animal vision are going to be the work material of a plastic expression, the objective of which is to reveal new universes. The object of my research takes into account physical and physiological parameters, to reveal of the other world than that of the human being. I so propose the real or imaginary visual implementation of a simulation of phenomena. The study concerns the processing of the spatial marks - temporal and of their formal, chromatic and three-dimensional representation. In the form of a dreamlike invitation in the knowledge, the film "Animal Vision" translates the visual universe of about twenty specimens, animals and insects. From this experimentation, the condition of contract of a perceptive, adjustable device in real-time, is established. "Who has never dreamed to be … An animal?" becomes the federative idea of "Animal Explorer". The installation suggests to the participants evolving in the place of an animal, in a virtual immersive space. Broadcast directly to the guests, the device allows to gather and to observe simultaneously all the visions. The experience proposes to the totally interdependent actors in the same world, to live it as radically different. This second experimentation allows putting in evidence that by his interpretation, his intuition, his sensitivity and his creative activity, the artist becomes a visionary, revealing unsuspected universes. Combinations between the rationality and the sensitivity of my approach, express an additional and harmonious meeting between the art and the science
