Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the Bristol artist, Bartram Hiles (1872-1927) who lost both arms in a tram accident at the age of eight and subsequently taught himself to draw and paint by mouth. Using the themes of art, modernity and disability, this thesis recovers Hiles’ career as a mouth-painting artist, not as biography but as a focused study located in nineteenth and early twentieth-century culture. Using disability studies as a principle point of reference, it does not draw on traditional medical and social models associated with this discipline. Instead, it employs a culturally located framework as its point of departure that also gives historical context to Hiles’ disability within the late Victorian and Edwardian period in which he was active as a professional artist. Hiles is little known today and the study has been driven by primary archival research into his formal art education and professional career as a mouth-painting artist. Employing an inter-disciplinary approach, each chapter is structured as a specific historical, cultural and physical context in which to locate Hiles’ art practice and professional career. Such contexts include medicine and science, the periodical press, agency and support, art and design practice, celebrity culture and the Edwardian artists’ club. The thesis employs discourse and representation but also draws on material and visual cultures of both medicine and art for its analysis. The study frames Hiles’ art practice within the modernity of the late nineteenth century as a transforming space to locate him as a modern subject who sought to re-interpret the act of painting. The thesis argues for Hiles to be seen as a modern man who used the opportunities afforded by modernity for individuals to re-make and re-fashion themselves, and to pursue new pictorial forms and spaces to exhibit his art. Negotiating the complexities of strategy and self-presentation, it positions Hiles as a figure of an increasingly commodified celebrity culture rather than a disabled man who led a life of marginalization. From this analysis Hiles emerges as a man and an artist fully able to navigate the modern world, and whose disability and unconventional method of painting illuminates the ambivalences of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century towards difference, otherness and perceptions of normality.

Abstract:

This paper, in conjunction with a series of paintings and drawings, attempts to outline the theme of anonymity. The work contains images portraying the feeling of remaining anonymous within a city. The inquiry not so much records the necessity of remaining anonymous for the purpose of urban experience but examines whether the subject matter of the artwork could be communicated to a group of spectators. During an exhibition of the artworks, 20 subjects were surveyed for their opinions. Questions relating to subject matter and aspects of anonymity were posed to the spectators in a questionnaire and structured interview format. In a large majority of cases, spectators of the artworks isolated the multiple-choice answer that most described the subject matter of the artworks. This study gave a strong indication to the artist that the group of spectators could comprehend the subject matter of the paintings exhibited Master of Arts (Hons) Visual Arts

Full text

Abstract:

The initial intention of this thesis was to amalgamate two distinct tendencies that evolved in the author's art work over the period of twenty-four years. The illusionary and corporeal qualities of his painting and sculpture had become amalgamated with social concerns, which emerged from his installation and performance work between 1975 and 1985. The moment the artist makes a gesture on a painting surface is a culmination of memory, the immaterial and the corporeal. That moment expresses his judgement about himself, and the world in illusionary form. By bringing together of the self and one's worldview, the corporeal and the immaterial, the past and present, the artist is provided with the authority to make judgements and to change themselves and their surrounding community, as well as gaining insights into changes in values in his community and family. The emphasis of the everyday in the artist's work has become an expression of universal social issues. Master of Arts (Hons) Contemporary Arts

Abstract:

The seventeenth century saw a large increase in family-related portrait materials, including group family portraits, family portrait collections, and family memorial albums. In this thesis, I contend with the meanings and functions of family portraits created in the Netherlands in an attempt to illuminate the motives behind the rise in the number of portraits of the family during this period. I focus on the ways in which Dutch families utilised portraiture as a vehicle for constructing personal and national identity. In an age of extraordinary economic success, religious tension, and political upheaval, portraits of the members of the expanding Dutch ‘middle class’, who had the means and the desire to commission them, reveal a conscious inclination to define and substantiate a fashioned identity as the new urban elite of a Republic in the making. My study assesses family portraits as sites where identity and changing notions of selfhood were envisioned and performed. The shifting notions of ‘family’, and the increasing popularity of commissioning portraits seems to signal attempts to configure and imagine their relationship to Dutch society. I propose that the amount of portraits related to the family commissioned alongside an exploration of and struggle with identity is a symptom of the anxiety surrounding politics, religion, and social changes, for which the family often served as a metaphor. New perspectives on portrait theory and identity, especially those of Ann Jensen Adams and Joanna Woodall, contributed to the shaping of this thesis, particularly as a means to comprehend how portraits functioned in the lives of families. There are four chapters that make up the body of this thesis. In each chapter, I focus on specific works of art chosen for their suitability in highlighting certain concepts and anxieties about identity and the family in its cultural context at their extremes.

Full text

Abstract:

This ethnography explores the underground art world in Portland, Oregon by showing how a Portland area artist collective, Oregon Painting Society, navigates their art world. Participant observation, in-depth interviews, and a short latent content analysis triangulate data to show the features and values of the underground art world. Using Becker's concept of art worlds, I show how artists working outside of a traditional art career in a commercial gallery system do their work by exploring how Portland's art world is structured and sustained. I find that group work, cooperation, and resource sharing in a vibrant neighborhood based social network enables artists to substitute resources usually provided by gallery representation and sustain their ability to make artwork without financial support. This is a network that rejects the competitive structure of the commercial system and runs more smoothly the more artists participate in it. I also explore the reasons for Portland's particular ability to support this kind of environment, citing geographic proximity to other art cities, DIY cultural roots, neighborhood structure, affordable city amenities, and a creative class population.

Abstract:

La présente recherche s'attache à mettre en relief l'un des aspects particuliers de l'art : la peinture.Il s'agit, à la suite d'une pratique personnelle cultivée depuis plu¬sieurs années et explorant les relations complexes entre expression plastique et intégration de la lettre écrite, de réfléchir sur l'entité singulière qu'est l'écriture.C'est alors que, conjuguant le travail plastique et le travail de recher¬che, se conduit cette étude dont l'objectif se fonde et se développe autour de la question des rapports texte/image au sein des œuvres peintes traversant et construisant l'ensemble de l'histoire de l'art occidental.En 1924, l'artiste Paul Klee (1879-1940) déclare :" Ecrire et dessiner sont identiques en leur fond " . Un cloisonnement entre les disciplines littéraires et pictu¬rales fait néanmoins foi depuis des siècles et ce malgré l'étymologie commune des ter¬mes " écrire " et " dessiner " formulée à partir du mot grec grapheïn . Mais, au regard des pratiques artistiques menées par les cubistes, tels le po¬choir ou le papier collé, par les futuristes, tel le bouleversement des co¬des de composition et de mise en page, par Dada, telle la destruction du langage, par les surréalistes, telle l'" écriture automatique ", par les lettristes, telle la prise en compte de la singularité de la lettre même, et par l'Art conceptuel envisageant l'écrit comme une matière à l'œuvre, nous voyons que les liens tissés entre le domaine iconique et le domaine textuel se renou¬vellent cons¬tamment et mérite un examen approfondi.Ainsi, notre recherche organise et analyse les différents usages concédés à la lettre par l'univers pictural. Elle met en valeur son intégration, son implication, son évolution et sa résonnance dans le champ visuel. La tra¬duction des modalités plastiques de l'écriture, après l'observation d'œuvres contemporaines comme celles de Jenny Holzer, de Claude Closky ou de Ta¬nia Mouraud, fait émerger l'indice d'une nouvelle organisation actuelle des codes graphiques qui, après le règne de la figuration et celui de l'abstraction en art, explore le graphème comme une matière picturale première et à part entière.

Abstract:

Au XIXe siècle les peintres latino-américains se rendaient en Europe à la recherche de la perfection artistique. Paris, le centre de l’art moderne, était l’une des principales destinations de la migration artistique intercontinentale. Les artistes de l’Amérique latine sont venus à Paris pour étudier dans des écoles d’art célèbres et pour participer aux salons afin de montrer la qualité de leur travail et tenter de lancer leur carrière sur la scène internationale. Beaucoup d’entre eux sont restés en Europe, mais ont été ignorés par la critique française et plus tard par les historiographies modernistes. Ces peintres ont été repoussés à la périphérie à laquelle ils appartenaient, quels que soient leurs choix géographiques. Cette thèse explore les trajectoires des peintres latino-américains à Paris qui ont participé aux Salons de la Société nationale des beaux-arts de 1890 à 1899 et revisite leurs positions dans le canon moderne. La recherche commence par l’aperçu général du système d’art des deux côtés de l’océan Atlantique et va de l’étude de la place des artistes dans les historiographies nationales à l’interprétation de leurs oeuvres. Les multiples facteurs qui façonnent la réception de l’art dans la périphérie sont analysés pour redécouvrir les peintres effacés de l’histoire et pour écarter leurs histoires d’un récit dominant dans l’histoire de l’art In the nineteenth century Latin American painters were going to Europe in search of artistic perfection. Paris as the centre of modern art was one of the main destinations for intercontinental artistic migration. The artists from Latin American countries went to Paris to study in famous art schools and to participate in the Salon in order to prove their professional status and to begin their careers in the international arena. Many of them stayed in Europe, but they were usually ignored by French criticism and later, by modernist historiographies. These painters were pushed back to the periphery to which they belonged regardless of their geographical choices. The dissertation explores the trajectories of Latin American painters in Paris who participated in the Salons of the Société Nationale des Beaux-arts from 1890 to 1899 and revisits their position in the modern canon. The research starts with the general overview of the art system on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and goes from the investigation of artists’ places in national historiographies to the interpretation of their paintings. The multiple factors that shape the reception of the art from periphery are brought to light in order to see the painters erased from history and to find the ways to resist the domination of the master narrative in art history

Abstract:

Grand Parc est une série de 62 photographies de paysage prises entre 2008 et 2012 dans un parc de loisirs situé aux portes de Lyon. Les images révèlent un paysage conventionnel, saisi dans un lieu conçu et aménagé en écho à l'urbanisation croissante d'une grande cité. Elles témoignent également d'un paradoxe: comment l'indifférence éprouvée face à un paysage standardisé accompagne-t-elle malgré tout le sentiment d'être encore touché par le visible ? Un aménagement guidé par des impératifs économiques et écologiques peut-il encore nourrir un regard actif modelé par la peinture et la modernité ? Pour prendre la mesure de ces questionnements, cette thèse d'arts plastiques s'empare du pittoresque. La notion est d'abord étudiée dans sa dimension historique de catégorie esthétique dévalorisée pour être ensuite envisagée comme un outil théorique capable de soutenir un mode actif d'investigation visuelle.Confronté à des codes culturels émoussés, le pittoresque est réinvesti dans une perspective critique et invité à soutenir un regard lucide et néanmoins sensible sur une réalité sociale.

Abstract:

Mon sujet de thèse sur "La peinture à Montpellier de Sébastien Bourdon à Joseph- Marie Vien" tend à fédérer dans un premier temps les recherches qui ont été effectuées par bribes sur les peintres montpelliérains du XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (Antoine Ranc (1634 - 1716), Jean de Troy (1638 - 1691), Etienne Loys (1724 – 1788) , Jean Coustou (1719 – 1791)...). Elles permettent de retracer le contexte artistique et historique du foyer culturel de la ville à travers les nombreuses commandes privées et publiques. Il est aussi intéressant de se demander s'il existe une école montpelliéraine dans laquelle la création des Académies aurait pu avoir un rôle. Enfin cette étude permettra de comprendre quelle est la place artistique de la cité montpelliéraine par rapport aux deux autres grandes provinces du sud que sont Toulouse et Marseille This study draws the history of painting in Montpellier in the 17th and 18th centuries, through the careers of Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671) and Joseph-Marie Vien (1716-1809). Although these two masters are internationally recognized, their influences on local painting remained to be defined, just like those of three other academicians: Hyacinthe Rigaud (1659-1743), Jean Ranc (1674 - 1735) and Jean Raoux (1677-1734). This study not only aims at analysing works by painters now famous, but also at revealing other contemporary artists as well as local workshops, which were opened to multiple influences. These workshops and artists were at the forefront of the paintings done in Montpellier up to the end of the 18th century. Some were more important than others, as those of Flemish masters at the beginning of the 17th century, of Paul Pezet ( ? – 1687) and of Antoine Ranc (1634 - 1716) during the Classical Age or even those of Etienne Loys (1724 - 1788) and Jean Coustou (1719 - 1791) in the 18th century. The latter trained the great masters from Montpellier who became academicians. This study means to define the essence of this local painting and its models. The issue of academies also partakes of our domain of research. Several attempts at creations of academic schools marked out these two centuries: be they, that of Sébastien Bourdon in 1649, that of Jean de Troy (1638-1691) in 1679, that of Jacques Giral (1684-1749) in 1737 and finally “la Société des Beaux-arts” (the Company of the Fine arts) in 1779. They are studied along with other southern academies of art, in Toulouse and Marseille. Thus, this analysis of local workshops and academies interrogates the notion of school in Montpellier, thereby registering this research at a more global scale, by comparing its results with the matching productions of other artistic centers in the same area, but also of Parisian and European great masters

Abstract:

[Abstract]The point of this thesis is to undertake a critical engagement with the art and life debate. This debate involves, in particular, the question of the location of art. Does art belong to an autonomous field removed from ‘everyday life’, or is art located amongst the objects and daily activities of our lives? Contributors to this debate usually defend one or the other position; either defending autonomy or arguing that art is, or at least should be, part of life. The debate is located through three historical points: the avant-gardes of the early 20th Century Europe; the neo-avant-garde of North America in the 1950s – 1970s; and American formalist art and criticism of the 1930s – 1970s. The thesis then engages the debate through more recent examples of art where the binary art/life is again the principal issue. Minimalism, Installation art, Site-specific art and Wall Painting are examined in the context of the ‘end’ of modernist painting. The argument presented by the thesis will be informed by a recently emerging theoretical frame which engages the reception of Kantian and Hegelian forms of aesthetic judgment. This critical context includes the Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Zizek; the Marxist-Hegelian theory of the German critic, Peter Burger, and the U.S. formalist critic, Clement Greenberg. The positions held by these theorists and critics will be examined through examples of art from both the modern period and more contemporary works. Through this context, the thesis positions the art and life debate within a structural analysis, arguing that art, including objects of ordinary life understood as art, occupy places within an art structure. The thesis argues that the choice between art and life is not so much a positive choice of one or the other, but rather a choice between one and the same thing seen differently; that is, the one thing seen in parallax.

Abstract:

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. published_or_final_version Fine Arts Master Master of Philosophy

Abstract:

My primary focus in my paintings is the male figure. These paintings have evolved in a non linear progression. I went from representational to partly abstract and back to representational infused with sequential art. During this development, I decided to paint my figures to resemble comic book characters of my own creation and paint them to represent emotional qualities of spontaneity and dualities of my psyche.

Abstract:

Introduction: We, i.e. contemporary Western man, live in a society which has increasingly embraced Science and Technology as the ultimum bonum. The Machine, i.e. Science and Technology, has come to be seen as an impersonal force, a New God - omniscient, omnipotent: to be worshipped and, alas, also to be feared. This mythologem has come to pervade almost every sphere of our lives in a paradigmatic way to the extent where it is hardly ever recognized for what it is and hence fails to arouse the concern it merits. While some of the more perceptive minds - such as Erich Fromm, Rufino Tamayo, Carl Gustav Jung, Konrad Lorenz and Arthur Koestler, to mention but a few - have started ringing the alarm bells, the vast majority of our species seem to plunge ahead with their blinkers firmly in place (more or less contented as long as they can persude themselves that these blinkers were manufactured according to latest technological and scientific specifications). Man’s uniquely human powers - his creative intuition, his feelings, his moral and ethical potential, have become sadly neglected and mistrusted. Homo sapiens – “homo maniacus” as Koestler suggests? - is now at a crossroads: he has reached a point where the next step could be the last step and result in the annihilation of man as a species. Alternately, avoiding that, there is the outwardly less drastic but essentially equally alarming possibility of men becoming robots, while a third alternative has yet to be found. While it does appear as if a lot of young people, noticeably among students, have started reacting against the over mechanization of life, these reactions often tend to follow the swing-of-the-pendulum principle and veer towards the other extreme, throwing out the baby with the bathwater and falling prey to freak-out cults in a kind of mass-irrationalism, rejecting science and technology altogether. Artists who by their very nature perhaps are particularly sensitive - in a kind of seismographic way - to the currents and undercurrents of their age, have become aware of the effects of science and technology on our way of living, and many of them have in one way or another taken a stand in relation to the position of man in our highly technological world. Looking at the art produced over the last four decades, it is truly astonishing to what extent our changed world reflects in our art - a world and a Weltbild very different from that of our ancestors even just a few generations ago. The purpose of the present study is to survey some of the observations and commentaries that painters and certain kindred spirits from the sciences over the last few decades have offered, in the hope of, if not answering, at least defining and posing anew some of the questions that confront us with ever-increasing urgency.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the transformation in the representation of painters during Charles LeBrun's tenure as Life-Chancellor to the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, from an initial definition in terms of the monarchy at Versailles to one founded on the practice of the art of painting. To promote the status of painters and painting, Louis XIV was celebrated as the protector of the arts in a royal portrait by Henri Testelin and was depicted as the ideal subject of art in paintings by Nicolas Loir and others. A painter's stature was then derived from the skillful manner in which he painted the history of the King. Engraved portraits accompanied by verse of Charles LeBrun and Adam Frans Van der Meulen identify allegorical painters as more distinguished than those who painted in a natural style. In both cases, Louis XIV is posited as being the source, subject, and eloquence of the art celebrating his achievements. Nicolas de Largillierre's Portrait of Charles Lebrun is modeled on Testelin's royal portrait and offers a portrayal of the artist which advocates service to the monarchy, but it grounds aesthetic activity in the body of the painter. This conception of LeBrun, in turn, serves as a paradigm for Pierre Mignard to create a self-portrait that proclaims his status in relation to the art of painting rather than through service to the King.

Abstract:

The human figure, allegory, myth, and the appropriation of other artist’s compositions are elements in my work. I aim to update traditional stories to conform to contemporary times and culture. In addition, I am striving to create a new method to visually express figurative storytelling. Breaking from the traditional flat painting surface, I use multiple shaped panels. The surface is broken into different shaped panels at varying distances from each other and from the wall. This allows for more exploration into shape and negative space while depicting the dramatic height of a story. As part of this method, my paintings explore the discrete nature of human vision, or how we focus on individual parts of a scene while the brain filters the gestalt.

Abstract:

This exegesis is an exploration of meditative process in painting and drawing and accompanies an exhibition of paintings and large drawings called What Lies Beneath. The text contains several passages, called &quotmeditations,&quot which accompany the themes approached in the chapters and give insight into the thoughts and practices of the artist. The methodology involves the examination of the evidence of the work produced by selected artists, looking at the words of artists in notebooks, diaries and interviews and surveying a small number of local contemporary artists. The text opens up the possibilities of drapery and garments and of still life as paths to meditative practice in painting and drawing. The qualities that characterize meditative process/practice, derived from my observations, are categorized. Some of the strengths of these processes are revealed through the examination of the work of artists, both contemporary and historical. The work of Vermeer, Sanchez Cotan, Francisco Zurbaran and contemporary artists Anne Judell, Simon Cooper, Jude Rae, Alison Watt and Eva Hesse highlight different aspects of the meditative process in painting and drawing. The art works in the exhibition are documented and bring out the meditative processes that have contributed to their creation, including the use and meaning of the subject (drapery and the garment as a form of still life).

Abstract:

PhD This thesis is an interdisciplinary explanation of correspondences between painting and philosophy. It does not offer, as could be assumed, a critique of philosophical concepts or an instrumental description of painting. Instead, it shows how concepts from philosophy can be used to see painting in new ways, particularly abstract painting. The philosophy discussed here is limited to continental or speculative philosophy, mainly, but not exclusively, the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The work of philosopher Richard Rorty also plays a part because he presents a clear description of the relationship between vision and philosophy. From a philosopher’s point of view, painting is highly relevant to an image of thought and is in general, used to explain conceptual assemblies. Rarely, however, do philosophers talk of painting’s own philosophy. This thesis argues for an account of painting as philosophy of sensation.

Abstract:

The Aim of the research is to define and analyse works of Lithuanian abstract painting during the Soviet period by establishing and comparing the diversity of criticism and practices of abstract art in Lithuania over several decades (from the end of the 1950s to the 1980s). In this thesis abstract paining is treated as a radical artistic reaction in Lithuania in terms of its theoretical and historical characteristics, and the general artistic context during the Soviet period is analysed in terms of socio-political issues. This is a study of the most celebrated examples of Western European art (also American art) presenting the most recent tendencies that developed out of them and juxtaposing it with the Central European culture (as the area of Soviet influence). Western European culture and its artistic movements were a complete opposition to the artificially built Eastern Block during the Soviet period. The forced separation of this period defined its unique qualities that found one expression in Central Europe and a different one in countries occupied by the Soviets (eg. in Lithuania); it also formed the position of freedom of an alternative art. Whereas in the West abstraction, in its own time, was the great boom of modernism because it freed painting from the traditional language of ‘representation’ and illustration, in Lithuania, in its local context, it had more functions: it was considered to be the great achievement of late modernism that helped to discover newer than...

Abstrakčioji tapyba, peržvelgus jos teorinius ir istorinius akcentus, vertinama kaip radikali meninė reakcija Lietuvoje, o bendras meninis kontekstas sovietmečiu analizuojamas iš sociopolitikos problematikos perspektyvos. Tai Vakarų Europos (bei iš JAV atkeliavusių) žymiausių pavyzdžių analizė, pateikianti išsivysčiusias iš jų naująsias tendencijas ir Vidurio Europos (kaip sovietmečio įtakos lauko) kultūrų sugretinimas. Visiška priešingybe sovietmečio dirbtinai suręstam Rytų blokui buvo Vakarų Europos kultūra ir jų meninės srovės. Priverstinis to laikotarpio atskyrimas nulėmė savitumus, vienaip pasireiškusius Vidurio Europoje, kitaip – sovietų okupuotose šalyse (pvz., Lietuvoje), ir iššaukusius kitokio meno laisvės poziciją. Vakaruose abstrakcija buvo modernizmo suklestėjimas, tai reiškė išsivadavimą iš tradicinės dailės kalbos, susijusios su vaizdo atvaizdavimu. Lietuvoje abstrakcijos apraiškos turėjo ir kitokių funkcijų: plastinės meninės kalbos įvairove buvo bandoma paneigti priverstinai primestą socrealizmo ideologiją. Disertacijos santraukoje atskleidžiamos Lietuvos abstrakčiosios tapybos formavimosi prielaidos ir galimybės. Abstrakčiosios tapybos užuomazgos –– S. Kisarauskienės, V. Kisarausko darbų pavyzdžiai, J.
