Containing over forty portraits, the frescoes by Domenico Ghirlandaio in the cappella maggiore of S. Maria Novella provide the opportunity to investigate the function and context of Quattrocento portraiture. Burkhart’s famous notion of Renaissance “individualism,” usually seen as a sufficient explanation for the rise of this genre, is rejected in favour of corporate, especially family, motivations and modes of address. This necessitates an examination of consorterial traditions and patterns of patronage which are registered in the Tornaquinci chapel and enabled the acquisition of patronage rights to the chapel by the entire consorteria in October 1486. A biography is also supplied of Giovanni Tornabuoni, the man who paid for the decoration of this, his family monument, and closely supervised its progress.

The research problem refers to the constitution of the concrete art group and to its role on the modernization of the Brazilian artistic field. The research’s general objective is to understand how the affirmation of the concrete art generation in the city of Sao Paulo during the 1950s took place. There are three important theoretical and methodological tools: collective biography’s method and the concepts of generation from Mannheim and field from Bourdieu. These tools, the situation of the artistic field from that time, and the relation of the Brazilian concrete art movement to the constructive movement are discussed in the introduction. In the second chapter, the dissertation limits itself to the period from 1947 to 1959. During such time span, cultural institutions relevant to the appearance of concrete art movement have arisen. The concrete art movement emerged officially in 1952. Active as a group until 1959, it held debates with other artistic streams and took over relevant positions in the artistic field. Focusing this period of twelve years, the collective biography’s method is used. Such method prescribes extracting relevant social information from defined populations. The resulting collective biography shows a variety of topics, artistic or not strongholds, and exhibits, all in common to the fifteen selected people. In the following two chapters, concrete art movement in Sao Paulo is studied in its unfoldings. In the third chapter factors that have collaborated for the recovery of concrete art after its peak during the 1950s are raised. Among those factors are art collections, art galleries, libraries and book anthologies. In the fourth chapter the echoes of concrete art movement in the contemporaneity are investigated. It is studied how concrete art movement is still nowadays present in the artistic field, considering its artistic proposals and beyond. As a conclusion a group portrait is shown, in which commonalities of the studied population are specified and a interpretative viewpoint is done. The examined material is composed of biographies, manifestoes, autobiographical pieces of writing, exhibition catalogues, monographic studies on artists, articles and critiques published in newspapers, interviews to the author, among others / Esta dissertação examina a atuação de um grupo de quinze artistas e poetas ligados ao concretismo paulista a partir dos anos 1950. O problema da pesquisa se refere à constituição do grupo concretista e à sua atuação na modernização do campo artístico brasileiro. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é compreender como se deu a afirmação da geração concretista na cidade de São Paulo desde a década de 1950. São importantes três ferramentas teóricometodológicas: o método da biografia coletiva e os conceitos de geração de Mannheim e de campo de Bourdieu. Essas ferramentas, a situação do campo artístico de então e a relação do concretismo brasileiro com o construtivismo são discutidos na introdução. No segundo capítulo, a dissertação se restringe ao período de 1947 até 1959. Nesse intervalo, surgiram instituições culturais importantes para que o concretismo se desenrolasse. O movimento concreto surgiu oficialmente em 1952. Ativo como grupo até 1959, entrou em debates com outras correntes artísticas e assumiu postos de relevo no meio artístico. Com foco nesse período de doze anos, é utilizado o método da biografia coletiva. Esse método prevê extrair informações sociais relevantes de populações definidas. A biografia coletiva resultante indica uma variedade de tópicos, redutos artísticos ou não e exposições em comum entre os quinze selecionados. Nos dois capítulos seguintes, o concretismo paulista é estudado em seus desdobramentos posteriores. No terceiro capítulo, são levantados fatores que colaboraram para a retomada do concretismo após seu auge na década de 1950. Entre eles, encontram-se exposições, coleções de arte, galerias, bibliotecas e antologias. No quarto capítulo, são investigados os ecos do movimento concreto na contemporaneidade. Ou seja, é pesquisado como o concretismo ainda se encontra presente atualmente no meio artístico, em suas propostas artísticas e além. Como conclusão, é apresentado um retrato de grupo, no qual explicitam-se aspectos em comum da população e realiza-se uma visada interpretativa. O material examinado é composto por biografias, manifestos, escritos autobiográficos, catálogos de exposições, estudos monográficos sobre artistas, matérias e críticas de arte publicadas em jornais, entrevistas ao autor, entre outros

Chapter 1 reviews the background to the rise of art patronage studies and their development and its influence on studies of Chinese art history. It also provides alternative approaches to studying activities related to patronage and their influence and role in Chinese art history by criticising traditional analysis of Chinese art based on social and economic theories. / Chapter 2 examines the life of Wang and explores the intentions and meaning to his patronage activities through studying his political involvement, literary activities and his social background and connections. / Chapter 3 discusses how Wang, given his knowledge in history and passion for art and its collection, reinterprets art history with reference to his private collection of art, and thereby consolidating his status as a leading figure of literary and cultural circle of his time. / Chapter 4 explains and reflects on the formation of the "artist-patron" relationship through examining the relationship and interaction between Wang and the literary circle and by appraising the financial background and standing of artists and calligraphers at the time. / Chapter 5 examines the direct impact that Wang, as a literary leader and patron of the art, has on the styles and subject matter of art work by examining and decoding several pieces of art commissioned by himself, thus revealing a distinct mechanism in which art was produced at the time. / Chapter 6 discusses the "artist-patron" relationship and the "trading of cultural resources" by examining diverse pieces of art work given to Wang as gifts by different individual artists and calligraphers. / Chapter 7 analyses the significance of the patronage activities of Wang and provides a new approach to understanding the issue of traditional Chinese art patronage in Chinese art history. / Through a case study of the life of Wang Shizhen, this research attempts to analyse the influence of literary leader and patron of the arts on the development of painting and calligraphy during the mid-Ming period. By analysing the "artist-patron" relationship, this paper attempts to explain alternative mechanism through which traditional Chinese art was produced. The thesis also examines art patronage activities in Suzhou during the sixteenth century and thereby attempts to examine these activities from the broader cultural and historical context at the time.
