Abstract:

The identification of Rembrandt as a ��Protestant�� artist has, since the middle of the nineteenth century, defined and directed analytical perspective of his biblical works. In the initial stages of Rembrandt��s reinvention as representative of the Protestant culture of his age, religion was not important in terms of the art produced; it was an indication of political identity. A recognition of the importance of Rembrandt��s religious beliefs to his biblical works led later art historians to define these works in terms of a Protestant identity. Rembrandt was a ��Protestant��; he was ipso facto Protestant artist. To substantiate this claim, academic research has sought to identify those particular characteristics which are thought to be Protestant and which can be readily identified in Rembrandt��s work. There is a substantial body of work within Rembrandt��s biblical oeuvre which challenges that paradigm. These are works which show the Virgin Mary, a figure largely marginalised in Protestant belief. These are generally acknowledged as ��Catholic�� or ��made for a Catholic audience��, but they are analysed either as eccentricities or as Catholic subjects which Rembrandt has manipulated to allow for a Protestant understanding. No attempt has been made to place these works within the Catholic tradition to which they belong. This thesis hopes to redress the balance by examining a largely un-researched body of Rembrandt��s Marian work. The first section surveys the notion of ��Protestant�� art and those writers who claim to recognise such a phenomenon in Rembrandt��s work. It examines the place of the Virgin Mary in Post-Reformation Protestant ideology and reviews Rembrandt��s history within a spectrum of religious beliefs. Finally it takes an overview of the presence of the Virgin Mary in Rembrandt��s oeuvre, seeking possible inspiration and explanation from the events in his daily life. The second section analyses six representative works in order to show that these Marian subjects are not religious works manipulated to a Protestant understanding but are artworks that show, both overtly and covertly, that Rembrandt was aware of and actively acknowledged the place of the Virgin Mary, both in the Catholic visual tradition and in the contemporary Catholic theology of his age.

Abstract:

Throughout the centuries, Mary Magdalene has occupied a unique position within the religious history of the West as the woman who has carried the collective Shadow of Christianity. In every epoch, Mary Magdalene stands at the crossroads of cultural tension and psychological paradox, holding countless images, projections and societal concerns, inspiring millions of acts of devotion and masterworks of art and music.

This dissertation explores the mythology of Mary Magdalene from her earliest appearances as the faithful witness, disciple and apostle in the New Testament and apocryphal gospels through her later legends as a prostitute, contemplative hermit, princess and priestess, with particular attention paid to artistic and musical portrayals. I suggest that the emerging composite portrait of the 21st century is a healing image of wholeness that integrates all four aspects of the female psyche articulated by Toni Wolff (the Hetaira, Mother, Medial and Amazon) and that Mary Magdalene points the way to a reclamation of the sacred feminine and a reinvigoration of spiritual life.

Magdalene as an icon and mirror of cultural transformation is evident in recent contemporary classical music works, particularly in Mark Adamo's opera The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. My experiences as resident mythologist for the San Francisco Opera during the world premiere of this work form the basis for my observations of the enormous transformational impact of images and stories of Mary Magdalene drawn from the apocryphal gospels and Gnostic tradition. Magdalene as woman who embodies anthropos, or full humanity, has become a catalyzing bridge for individual personal development and communities of diverse scholars and seekers.

This dissertation culminates with a multimedia dramatic production inspired by Medieval mystery plays. The Passion of Mary Magdalene interweaves Taize chants, instrumental music of Estonian composer Arvo Part, traditional Christian hymns and my original compositions with a text drawn from both the Canonical Gospel and the Gospel of Mary and includes images taken from pilgrimages to Mary Magdalene sites in France.

Key words: Magdalene- Christian spirituality- Gnostic-Sacred Feminine- Toni Wolff- Carl Jung

Abstract:

Art History
M.A.
The relationships between movement, emotion, and ritual communion in Byzantium have drawn the attention of art historians in recent years. While Henry Maguire has considered many facets of this subject, a monumental Late Byzantine icon, the Two-Sided Icon with the Virgin Pausolype, Feast Scenes, the Crucifixion and Prophets, suggests others. While the catalog entry by Annemarie Weyl Carr in Byzantium: Faith and Power remains the only published discussion of this particular icon, or even specifically of the Pausolype ("cease sorrow!") iconographic type, I believe that this image contributes significantly to our understanding of Late Byzantine culture and liturgical practice. Careful study of this particular icon encourages a consideration of the problematic subject of emotion, and its interactions with movement, ritual and art. The paucity of evidence makes it difficult to address specific devotional practices associated with this particular object, although some observations can be made. I am able, however, to align it with its iconographic antecedents and establish contemporary relationships, illuminating aspects of its original function.

Abstract:

What were Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton’s contributions to the progressive education movement and the Indian arts and crafts movement in the Southwestern United States at a time when the region was still very remote? Artist, author, amateur ethnographer, educator, and curator; these were but a few of the talents of Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton, co-founder of the Museum of Northern Arizona and early art advocate on the Colorado Plateau. This study investigates how Colton contributed to the progressive education movement and the Indian arts and crafts movement through the work that she did at the museum. There, she labored to increase public awareness of the importance of art education and to revive Native American arts on the Colorado Plateau. Using an extensive collection of archival material in the Colton Collection at the Museum of Northern Arizona, as well as oral history interviews, this historical study provides a nuanced analysis of Colton’s life as an educator. Colton’s influence is not well known today, but her professional contributions merit recognition, giving her a place in the history of American education. This study reveals how Colton’s efforts fit within the context of the work of her contemporaries in Santa Fe and Taos, and within the progressive education movement, from the then relatively remote outpost of Flagstaff. Much can be learned from Colton’s work that is relevant to the field of education today. Her ideals and writings about art education will resonate with opponents of No Child Left Behind. Colton’s work as one of northern Arizona’s earliest art educators contributed to a better understanding of the culture of the various peoples of the Colorado Plateau and to the preservation of Navajo and Hopi traditions through education. Colton made notable contributions to the Indian arts and crafts movement, museum education, and the progressive education movement. A woman of firm convictions and ideals, Colton was strong-willed, and complex, a multi-faceted person with a broad range of interests which she pursued with passion and commitment. This study crosses the boundaries of several disciplines, including educational history, museum studies, women’s studies, educational biography, Native American studies, and art education.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the role of the Manichean dualism, the pervasive colour symbolism of white as good and black as evil. It looks at the manifestation of this symbolism in representations of Christianity, and the subsequent implications for race and racism in Western society. Through images of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, I posit that the Western conflation of holiness with whiteness is a primary means through which whiteness retains hegemony. I argue that Renaissance painting has had a pivotal role in privileging the white body through its hyper-whitening of both Jesus and Mary. Both figures emerge as improbable ideals of male and female whiteness, demonstrating the anxiety around the intersection of race, gender and religion. I am primarily interested in Mary and how the canon of Western art has didactically laid out the terms of her representation as a means of controlling the female body, dependant on the disavowal and whitening of her body. The privileging of religious Renaissance art results in the continued infection of the construction and reception of the Virgin's image as an ideal figure of feminine whiteness. As such, I analyze the lasting effects of the whitening of her image in the controversy surrounding the display of Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary (1996) at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, as well as her representation in Hail Mary (1985) and The Passion of the Christ (2004). These readings attempt to draw out the specious nature of the Manichean dualism of black and white, aiming to help in the creation of a space for alternative readings of race through the eyes of hegemonic society.

Abstract:

L'objet de cette thèse est l'étude de la notion de "danse moderne" à travers les textes de deux de ses fondateurs, Rudolf Laban et de Mary Wigman. L'introduction critique d'abord la présentation linéaire, progressive et déterministe de l'histoire de la danse habituellement proposée par les historiens de la danse. Elle envisage le désir de modernité en danse comme un combat pour une danse du présent. Dans deux chapitres successivement consacrés à Laban et Wigman sont analysés, d'une part, leur rapport au passé et aux héritages chorégraphiques, et d'autre part, leur perception de la vie moderne. Les modalités de leur expérience du mouvement (leur technique d'improvisation et de composition) et leur vision du corps font l'objet d'une troisième préoccupation. Enfin sont présentées les difficultés qu'ils rencontrèrent dans la transmission de cette expérience et dans l'élaboration de leurs spectacles sur les scènes de leur temps. Une conclusion compare leurs points de vue et s'attache à montrer la modernité de leurs écrits
This thesis examines the concept of "modern dance" through the texts of Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman. The introduction critiques the linear, progressive and deterministic presentation of the history of modern dance usually proposed by the historians of dance, and considers Laban and Wigman's desire for modernity as a struggle for a dance of the present. Chapter one opens with an exploration of Laban's relationships to the past and to the choreographic heritage as well as his perception of the modern life. It then analyzes the modes of Laban's experimentation; in particular, his technique of improvisation and composition. A discussion of the artist's vision of the body follows. In closing, the chapter presents the difficulties that Laban encountered in the transmission of his dance-experience both within his school and in performances. Chapter two is a corresponding treatment of the above topics with regard to Wigman. The conclusion compares the two artists' points of view, defines their oppositions, and attempts to shows the modernity of their writings

Abstract:

A preservação e o restauro de obras de arte de períodos recentes em espaços públicos conformam o tema da pesquisa, que tem como objetos as obras de Mary Vieira no Brasil localizadas em Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Poços de Caldas e São Paulo. (Monovolume: liberdade em equilíbrio; Polivolume: ponto de encontro; Boate Azul e Polivolume: conexão-livre, respectivamente). O restauro, como ato de cultura, deve ser calcado em reflexões teórico-conceituais que balizam intervenções técnicooperacionais, sempre guiadas pela própria obra a ser restaurada. A dissertação apresenta, pois, uma investigação da produção da artista, com especial atenção à sua contribuição para se pensar o espaço público; bem como uma revisão dos aportes teóricos disponíveis no campo da restauração, sobretudo no que diz respeito às novas problemáticas colocadas pelas produções moderna e contemporânea. Com o objetivo de registrar o estado atual de conservação das obras citadas e refletir sobre possíveis intervenções, a pesquisa busca evidenciar a existência de uma unidade metodológica, que pode conduzir trabalhos em obras de arte e arquitetura, antigas e recentes.
The subject of the research is preservation and conservation of art from recent periods in public spaces with a focus on works by Mary Vieira in Brazil located in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Poços de Caldas and São Paulo (Monovolume: liberdade em equilíbrio; Polivolume: ponto de encontro; Boate Azul and Polivolume: conexão-livre, respectively). Conservation as an act of culture, should be tackled through theoretical and conceptual reflections as well as technical and operational measures,always guided by the work to be restored. The dissertation therefore presents an investigation of the artist\'s production, with special attention to its contribution to a public space; and a review of the available theoretical contributions in the field of conservation, especially in regard to the new problems posed by modern and contemporary productions. In order to register the current condition of the mentioned works and wonder about possible interventions on them, this research seeks to demostrate the existence of methodological unit, that may lead to further studies on works of art and architecture, either recent and old.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to re-evaluate the evidence of Marian images in Rome in late antiquity. It argues that centuries of misreading the iconography of Paleo-Christian art has produced unreliable evidence of an early Marian cult in the Roman Church. Surviving examples of images previously identified as Mary are compared with other forms of representation and personification alongside goddess images from around the Roman world. The conflicts present within the emergent Roman Church and the influence they may have had on the developing artistic traditions are re-considered, with particular emphasis on the iconography of the ‘Adoration of the Magi’. Powerful female figures such as martyr saints and widows are presented as more popular models of early Christian womanhood. In particular virgin martyrs, the eroticisation of whose cult with its sado-masochistic tendencies, catered for a Roman society still deeply influenced by its appetite for violent games and sports. The thesis also examines images identified as Mary, but much more probably originally intended as ecclesia and explores the role of Christ as the bridegroom to ecclesia, the martyrs and the consecrated virgins. It goes on to argue that the growing issue of anti-Judaism in the emergent Roman Church had a particular effect on how Mary was perceived by church leaders.

Full text

Abstract:

The motif of the uncovered female breast is ubiquitous in art of all ages and cultures. Modern analysis of breast imagery tends to be biased by the sexual significance that breasts have now. However in Italian renaissance art the exposed breast appears in many different manifestations. The purpose of this thesis is to explore several specific types of breast iconography. The first chapter will examine images of Maria lactans, and consider the religious, cultural and psychological meaning held within the image and the social changes which were to lead to its loss of popularity. Chapter Two will consider the appearance of secular images of breastfeeding, particularly in the city-states of north Italy in the early Renaissance, and examine possible sociological reasons for the political use of the depiction of breast feeding. Other associated breast iconography will also be considered. Chapter Three will focus on images of the tortured breast, particularly depictions of St. Agatha suffering the removal of her breasts during martyrdom. Both the sacred and sado-sexual elements of such images will be examined. The fourth chapter will look at images of Lucretia. It will be examined why in so many cases artists chose to depict her with her breasts exposed (in contradiction to ancient sources) and with the dagger actually pointing at or embedded in her breast. It will be argued that the breast was used in art as external symbol of the female heart. The final chapter of the thesis will focus on paintings Cleopatra. Again, there is an even more marked contradiction to ancient sources when Cleopatra is depicted dying by a snakebite to the breast. A full-circle will be achieved in the contrast of paintings of Mary suckling Christ with images of Cleopatra apparently breastfeeding a snake.

Abstract:

This study investigates effects on the ephemeral artwork and its ephemeral quality when documented and archived. To define the ephemeral artform a definition presented by Mary O’Neill in her thesis Ephemeral Art: Mourning and Loss (2007) is used, and two ephemeral artworks are studied: Zoe Leonards Strange Fruit (for David) (1992-1997) and Felix Gonzalez-Torres ”Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) (1991). Results from these case studies are compared to each other and to Peggy Phelan’s critical stance on the possibilities of documenting time-based and performative artforms in Unmarked: The Politics of Performance (1993). Results show that the ephemeral artwork becomes ephemeral through slow degradation and the experience this degradation generates in the observer; processes in time that cannot be documented. However, documentation can affect the observer’s experience of ”here and now,” which may alter the artwork’s communicative abilities and its effectiveness in creating a sense of presence within the passing of time.
Denna studie studerar påverkan på det efemära konstverket och dess efemära egenskap när det dokumenteras och arkiveras. För att definiera den efemära konstformen används en definition som presenteras av Mary O’Neill i avhandlingen Ephemeral Art: Mourning and Loss (2007), och två efemära konstverk studeras: Zoe Leonards Strange Fruit (for David) (1992–1997) och Felix Gonzalez-Torres ”Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) (1991). Resultat från verkanalyser av dessa verk jämförs mot varandra samt mot Peggy Phelans uppfattning att performance-baserad konst inte kan dokumenteras i Unmarked: The Politics of Performance (1993). Resultat visar att det efemära konstverket blir efemärt genom sin långsamma nedbrytning och genom betraktarens upplevelse av denna nedbrytning – temporala processer som inte kan dokumenteras med exakthet. Dokumentering kan dock innebära att betraktarens upplevelse av ”här och nu” påverkas och således verkets förmåga att kommunicera effektivt om passerande tid och frambringa närvaro i nuet.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I examine the temporal and material connections between component parts of hybrid artworks, specifically between live events / acts of performance and the long-lasting sculptural elements that those events / performances produce. I propose a re-orientation of the temporal gaze of performance art history, from one oriented to the past to one focused on the continually unfolding present. Such a re-orientation requires a nonlinear approach to art making that complicates set boundaries of past and present, liveness and record, and presence and absence, and disrupts in potentially corrective ways our historically normative systems of looking, categorizing, and archiving art. Through a transfeminist analysis that prioritizes multiplicity rather than categorization, I consider elements of liveness in relation to subjectivity and agency, paying attention to their effect on the works’ ongoing reception and classification in archiving systems. I examine three elements of liveness as maintained through indexicality: action, endurance, and presence. Each of these elements has been historically associated with live art but not with static objects; each has been considered only in the past tense after the initial performance has ended. Using definitions of indexicality, nonlinearity, and agency as starting points, I examine how performance-based artworks connect the performance and subjectivity of the artist across time. This project loosely takes the form of three case studies of hybrid art practices by contemporary artists: Kate Gilmore, Mary Coble, and Cassils.

Esta dissertação analisa as relações de gênero, história e sociedade, a partir da trajetória de duas mulheres artistas ativamente inseridas no campo da Arte na França no final do século XIX: Mary Cassatt e Camille Claudel. Mary Cassatt (1844-1920) artista estadunidense, passa sua vida adulta em Paris e estabelece conexões com os impressionistas e críticos de arte, alavancando sua produção para além das fronteiras entre os dois países. Camille Claudel (1864-1943), artista francesa, tem uma intensa produção na área da escultura no final do século XIX, alternando referências simbolistas e autorais, em meio a um contexto conturbado junto ao artista Auguste Rodin, com quem produz grande parte de sua vida. Este trabalho tem por objetivo questionar suas trajetórias, obscurecidas em meio a uma historiografia tradicional e em grande parte masculina. Utilizam-se como fontes documentais cartas e biografias, assim como as obras produzidas por elas no período em questão. A metodologia empregada na pesquisa é a análise comparativa das imagens e textos como narrativas, tendo como foco a discussão acerca das categorias do público x privado, propostas por Griselda Pollock (1988), no que diz respeito às diferentes formas como homens e mulheres se locomoviam na França no final do século XIX, e à relação existente entre sexualidade, modernidade e modernismo. Também é referencial da investigação Marcel Detienne (2004) pela possibilidade de se comparar objetos distantes, como a trajetória de duas artistas que viveram em temporalidades distintas apesar de mesma espacialidade, de modo a entender de que forma o protagonismo artístico se deu na trajetória das artistas, em meio a seu papel social e contexto de produção. Nesse sentido, compreendeu-se que ambas inseriram-se no sistema das Artes por intermédio de suas relações pessoais. Ainda que distintas, suas posições sociais influenciaram para que obtivessem espaço em um campo dominado pela masculinidade. Mary Cassatt conheceu o sucesso e o desfrutou o mesmo não aconteceu com Camille Claudel que teve de lidar com uma sociedade com padrões rígidos no que diz respeito ao comportamento de uma mulher independente demais para a época.
This dissertation analyzes the relations of gender, history and society, from the trajectory of two women artists actively inserted in the field of Art in France in the late nineteenth century: Mary Cassatt and Camille Claudel. Mary Cassatt (1844-1920), an American artist, spends her adult life in Paris and establishes connections with the impressionists and critics of art, leveraging her production beyond the borders between the two countries. Camille Claudel (1864-1943), French artist, has an intense production in the area of sculpture in the late nineteenth century, alternating symbolist and authorial references, amidst a troubled context next to the artist Auguste Rodin, with whom he produces much of his life. This work aims to question their trajectories, obscured in the middle of a traditional and largely male historiography. Letters and biographies, as well as the works produced by them in the period in question, are used as documentary sources. The methodology used in the research is the comparative analysis of images and texts as narratives, focusing on the discussion about the categories of the public x private, proposed by Griselda Pollock (1988), regarding the different ways men and women move in France at the end of the nineteenth century, and the relationship between sexuality, modernity and modernism. It is also a reference of the Marcel Detienne (2004) research for the possibility of comparing distant objects, such as the trajectory of two artists who lived in different temporalities despite the same spatiality, in order to understand how the artistic protagonism occurred in the trajectory of the artists, in the midst of its social role and production context. In this sense, it was understood that both were inserted in the system of Arts through their personal relations. Although different, their social positions influenced to obtain space in a field dominated by masculinity. Mary Cassatt knew the success and enjoyed the same did not happen with Camille Claudel who had to deal with a society with rigid standards regarding the behavior of a woman too independent for the time.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis paper is to investigate womanist theology and method, along with restoration practices involving spirituality and healing within the context of the visual arts. The thesis exhibition will attempt to create new visual possibilities that inform womanist theological scholarship in terms of promoting contemporary female religious imagery within a metaphorical language. While womanist theology is steeped in interdisciplinary practices, it has yet to consider seriously the studio arts as a means to explore and develop the womanist language. This study will investigate how essential and natural the visual arts assist our understanding of spirituality, especially through a womanist context.

Abstract:

Cette thèse explore la topologie de l'inconscient, afin de déterminer comment se constitue l'écriture du sujet, à travers la perspective lacanienne du nouage des registres réel, symbolique et imaginaire. L'auteur présente une analyse différentielle, à partir de l'autobiographie de Mary Barnes et du journal intime de Nijinski. Si dans l'hystérie de M. Barnes le symptôme, vécu comme un voyage initiatique par le sujet, tient fermement les trois registres ensemble et que dans la schizophrénie de V. Nijinski, il existe un nouage de type sinthomatique tel que l'a exposé J. Lacan dans le Séminaire XXIII, qui se trouve saboté par l'arrêt de la danse, l'écriture, dans la névrose comme dans la psychose, peut être envisagée comme l'effet du mouvement rétrograde imposé par le désir lui-même. Ce travail, enfin, vise à continuer la conception lacanienne de la topologie des psychoses

Abstract:

Abstract In this Research paper and through my Studio practice, I search for what binds me and separates me from my children. I investigate abjection theories through Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille and focus on a particular form I call the maternal abject. This occurs at the time an infant separates from its mother, acquires language and maps its own body. I am proposing that the mapping of the body is the point at which an individual perceives social structures and learns about prohibitions and taboos, hence the abject. I also investigate the relationship between the maternal abject and the artistic process through the writings of Kristeva. Abjection is illustrated through the works of Mona Hatoum, Fiona Hall, Hieronymus Bosch, and Paul Quinn. The maternal abject is illustrated through the works of Mary Kelly, Cindy Sherman, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois. A possible reading of the maternal abject is given through the works of Gregory Crewdson, Joel-Peter Witkin and Francis Bacon. The studio work is in two parts. The first part is a series of layered photomedia images. The layers consist of a naked female body, which has been merged with Renaissance like Madonna and Child images. Texture, such as stones and spikes, is embedded to signify the fragility and strength of the body. Children are also present and are merged with the adult female body. All images are cradled in a darkened atmosphere in order to draw the viewer inside the images. The second part is a bassinet, which has been drilled and pierced by thousands of pearl-headed steel pins. This piece signifies the dichotomy of the motherhood experience, which on the one hand is rewarding and fulfilling and on the other an abject and isolating experience of no apparent economic value. The two parts interact so that the bassinet piece with its threatening exterior acts as an aggressor towards the photomedia images.

Abstract:

Memento Mitten is a project about seeing human hair from the perspective of sustainability as a viable alternative material. The project also aims to question our reluctance in Western Europe to use it in projects and innovations. It explores the process of transforming hair from waste into a functional piece (a mitten) by using traditional handicraft (hand carding, hand spinning and nålbinding) as a change agent in order to alter our perception of hair. Relating anthropologist Mary Douglas’ theory on dirt to the Freudian definition of ‘Das Unheimliche’ (The Uncanny) the project further examines and dissects the emotional aspects of Uncanniness and the anxiety we perceive when in contact with disembodied hair. Leaning on Douglas’ theory on dirt I developed a framework for action that could potentially have the transformative ability to, when applied to creative practices, recontextualize hair from uncanny waste into an emotionally safe material. Utilizing auto-ethnographic documentation, physical exploration and participatory elements (through design interventions), four phases were identified: rejection (identifying hair as waste), re-collection (collecting hair), dissolution (taking apart the hair through acts like hand carding) and assimilation (putting the hair into a new context). These phases, which I titled The Altered Phases of Dirt, showed that they had the potential to move our inner margins of comfort beyond Uncanniness through the physical engagement found in handicraft.
