Magíster en artes, con mención en teoría e historia del arte / La siguiente investigación constituye una perspectiva histórica del Museo de Arte Moderno (MoMA) fundado en el año 1929 con apenas 13 obras y cuya concreción histórica revela cómo, a pesar de su modesto origen, el sueño de un pequeño grupo de personas logra convertirse en un referente museológico universal obligado. A lo largo de esta exposición se establecerá un paralelo entre la creación del MoMA, el Museo Metropolitano de Nueva York, el New Museum de Nueva York y el recientemente renovado Museo del Barrio en el Harlem, este último un reflejo del museo orientado la comunidad inmediata. Se considerará la inserción de internet en el panorama cultural de los Estados Unidos en general y su importancia en la difusión del contenido del museo, ya sea como herramienta de apoyo o como plataforma para determinados contenidos.

A feitura de diversos trabalhos e estudos e a experimentação com soluções estéticas variadas e diferentes materiais, unidas à pesquisa de referências na Arte Contemporânea, fizeram parte desse percurso de criação e descoberta. No início meu foco era praticamente apenas no elemento gráfico da escrita; contudo, na medida em que a pesquisa se ampliou minha percepção acerca desse elemento se desenvolveu e passei a abordar outras faces da escrita em minha produção, passando a explorar a função poética das palavras por meio de sua denotação e da redação e apropriação de textos / Abstract: The present master's degree dissertation addresses my creative process in the search for the construction of my own poetics, using the hybridism between various languages such as writing, drawing, and artist's book. The make of several art works and studies, experimentation with various aesthetic solutions and different materials, joined to the reference's research in the contemporary art, were part of this course of creation and discovering. In the beginning my focus was only the writing graphic aspect, nevertheless, as my research grew my perception on the subject developed and I started to address also other constituents of the written language in my art production, exploring the poetic function of the words by way of their meaning, and by writing texts and appropriating from texts by other authors / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestra em Artes Visuais

The current culture of commodity fetishism that surrounds both modern art and tattoos are disproportionately a part of the perpetuation of an artificial sense of society and community. It promotes the notion that by simply by inking the deeper layers of their skin or by spending millions on a painting that somehow one becomes elevated and enters an elite space, or club, of people like them.

The decorative and the textual have a complex and uneasy entanglement within the history and practice of modernist art. Sometimes celebrated as critical modernist strategies, sometimes denigrated or repressed as the opposite of Art, the decorative and the textual were understood as "foreign" forms that variously endangered, or, in turn, invigorated the power of art. My creative practice, which includes installation, painting, photography, text and an exhibition catalogue, exploits and explores this decorative and textual instability within modernist art practice. In my work, (visual) codes conventionally associated with the fields of writing and pattern, are re-examined and problematised by placing them within the context of visual art. When writing and pattern become the subject of painting there is an intriguing oscillation, complication and dialogue between the spaces and codes of reading and seeing, writing and pattern, the decorative and the abstract. The thesis also explores the decorative and textual instability within modernism by analysing some key contradictory moments in aesthetic thought and arts practice. In the writings of Clement Greenberg, a "decorative" painting is deemed the highest achievement of modernist abstract painting but to arrive at this goal, the decorative must be used against itself. In Frank Stella's early abstract paintings, decorative patterns structure the work, and yet the artist and his commentators only see the work as a kind of pure, abstract painting. In Lawrence Weiner's statement-sculptures, the terse, laconic text, that nominates materials and processes, is thought to be a "direct" form of art information that would remain unchanged even in reproduction. But as Weiner's work is reproduced in journals and magazines, this "direct" form of art is complicated through a variety of reproductive forms - documentary photographs, transcription errors and differences in the visual format and typography of the text. In these key moments of contradiction, concepts such as the decorative and the textual, that have often been regarded as peripheral to visual art, will be shown to have central significance in analysing its specific qualities.

From these works, was discussed how the artist turned his production beyond the pictorial medium at different times in his career, who presided over the thrust axis of its operations in the Brazilian avant-garde, from the pure visual experience by the public, or even constituted by his participation. There was thus a reflection on the character expanded in the artist s work since the beginning of his career, in the 1960s to the present of his creative process. It was intended, therefore, to reflect on the changes that triggered the expansion of boundaries / Esta dissertação de mestrado teve como objeto de investigação a obra de Carlos Vergara, com enfoque em trabalhos realizados na década de 1960: Happening G4, Berço Esplêndido, Brinquedo (Objetos-Módulos), Empilhamentos; além de trabalhos dos anos 1990 e 2000, tais como Capela do Morumbi, Farmácia Baldia e Feira de Adivinhações. A partir dessas obras, foi discutido como o artista direcionou sua produção para além do meio pictórico em diferentes momentos da sua trajetória, sobre o impulso que presidiu suas operações no eixo do vanguardismo brasileiro, passando da experiência visual pura ao experimental e às proposições comportamentais que engendraram uma arte com o intuito de ser vivenciada pelo público, ou mesmo constituída pela participação dele. Fez-se, assim, a reflexão sobre o caráter expandido na obra do artista desde o início da sua trajetória, na década de 1960 à atualidade de seu processo criativo. Pretendeu-se, assim, refletir sobre as transformações que desencadeava a ampliação de limites

Cette thèse est consacrée aux questions de réception et d'institutionnalisation de la photographie documentaire et de la photographie de reportage à partir de 1937 jusqu'aux années 1970 au Museum of Modem Art (MoMA) de New York. Le premier chapitre revient sur la genèse et les enjeux de l'instauration de la straight photography comme canon d’une tradition esthétisante du médium et éclaire l’influence de la critique formaliste dans l'émergence d'un modernisme documentaire, exemplifié par la production de Walker Evans. De nombreux photographes dont les pratiques ne correspondaient pas aux idéaux de perfection technique de la straight photography ont de exclus des circuits de légitimation institutionnelle, en particulier les membres de la Photo League de New York. La photographie documentaire urbaine, développée en dehors de la doxa moderniste, fait l'objet du deuxième chapitre de cette étude. A. cet égard, une attention particulière est consacrée à l'œuvre critique d'Elizabeth McCausland, principale porte-parole de la fonction sociale de la photographie. Le troisième chapitre se concentre sur la période de l’après-guerre. Dans ce nouveau contexte, les Américains sont à la recherche de nouveaux canons artistiques, qu'ils trouvent dans la photographie de reportage française, dont Henri Cartier-Bresson représente le chef de file. Ce chapitre dévoile les intérêts diplomatiques du modernisme dans les échanges transatlantiques avec la France, ainsi que ses intérêts économique à travers l'exemple d'André Kertész dont l'exposition au MoMA suscite l'envol de sa cote sur le marché naissant de la photographie dans les années 1970. / This thesis is dedicated to questions of reception and institutionalization of documentary photography and reportage photography from 1937 through to the 1970s at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The first chapter looks at the development and objectives of the advent of straight photography as a canon or an aestheticizing tradition of the medium, and sheds light on the influence of formalist criticism in the emergence of a form of documentary modernism, exemplified by the works of Walker Evans. Many photographers whose practices do not correspond to the ideals of technical perfection of straight photography were excluded from the circuits of institutional legitimization, particularly the members of the New York Photo League, Urban documentary photography, developed outside of the modernist doxa will be the subject of the second chapter of this study. In this respect, particular attention is paid to the critical work of Elizabeth McCausland, a major spokesperson for the social function of photography. The third chapter focuses on the post-war period. ln this new context. The Americans were looking for new artistic canons, which they found in French reportage photography, with Henri Cartier-Bresson leading the fray. Finally, this chapter reveals the diplomatic interests of modernism in Transatlantic exchanges with France, as well as its economic interests, taking André Kertész, as an example, whose exhibition at MoMA caused his works to suddenly rise in value on the inchoate photography market of the 1970s.

At certain moments in the creative development of an artist, experimentation leads to creative acts that on their face can appear negative because they are the actions of a young artist responding to the establishment. This thesis is an investigation of such works: a spoiled print, an erased drawing, a set of artist proofs stained by paint, and a painting wiped away with turpentine. Despite these negations, each of these works was pivotal to the career of its respective artist, and they were immediately cited by their makers as works of consequence. The four selected art works did not influence one another and the circumstances surrounding their creation are also distinct. Each work and artist developed independently from one another, in distinct spaces and times. However, there are notable parallels among the works. Each was created as the artist transitioned into the mature phase of his career. Additionally, each of the works is a layering of distinct images. The sub-images relate to an external artist, style, or dogma, and the superimposed image relates to the artist’s own work and his mature style. Further, each of the works is an indexical record of the artist’s activity. Each emphasizes the artist’s hand in the making of the super-image’s mark and even goes so far as to highlight the performative nature of the mark making. The marks of the super-image are so pronounced as the subject of each work and the performative element so emphasized that the artist himself is drawn into the work’s subject matter. In short, I investigate whether these images function as a commentary, a critique, a declaration, or simply as part of a process and a dialogue between the artist and his artistic environment. / text

In 1940 the Museum of Modern Art, New York, (MoMA) became the first major American art museum to establish a curatorial department dedicated exclusively to photography. From the perspective of the photographers, curators, and critics who had sought institutional legitimacy for the medium, the founding of the Department of Photographs was a watershed event, marking the moment when photography finally came to be recognized as a museum subject equal to painting and sculpture. Although the department has since had a pervasive influence on the field and the history of photography, surprisingly little scholarship has addressed its contentious formation. This dissertation seeks to fill this significant gap in the literature by examining the department's inception and the six years Beaumont Newhall served as its curator.Of particular concern are the ideological battles waged over how photography would be presented at MoMA by Newhall, his wife Nancy--who served as acting curator when her husband enlisted in the army during World War II--and the department's co-founder and key advisor, Ansel Adams. As acolytes of the photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, who himself had long fought for the recognition of photography as a medium of art, the Newhalls and Adams took aesthetic quality as their guiding metric, asserting that in order to raise the profile of photographers, educate the public, and improve standards of taste, the museum should show only the very best work ever created--the "heavy cream" of photographic production. Their vision for photography at the museum was counterbalanced by that of the photographer Edward Steichen and many prominent writers and critics, who argued that MoMA should treat photography as a broad-ranging cultural phenomenon and means of communication, rather than merely as a medium of self expression. The debate between these two camps illustrates the considerable philosophical, interpretive, and museological challenges raised by photography's introduction into the museum, issues that remain as contentious as ever.
