Right after the Second World War, New York City was made home by artists who expressed themselves in different ways, a fact that made possible the emergency of many artistic movements, including two artistic vanguard that stood by improvisation and spontaneity in the creative process: John Coltrane‟s Free Jazz and Jackson Pollock‟s Action Painting. Both artistic movements have always been intertwined and supportive to each other. Although their languages belong to different arrays, its elements are transfigured among the two territories. Proposing an analysis in semiotic and aesthetic terms, this paper attempts to relate the main artistic elements in the performances of a jazz musician and an abstract expressionist painter: the intensity with which their works are produced throughout their improvisations. The documents, the main biographical references, including recordings of artists‟ performances - videos, discographies and pictures - used during the research are from the period between 1947 and 1967 / Este trabalho parte de uma averiguação de como as linguagens artísticas da música e da pintura podem intercambiar elementos estéticos através do modo como os artistas organizam, ou, às vezes, desorganizam toda linguagem estrutural vigente durante o processo de criação de suas obras. Logo após a segunda grande guerra mundial, a cidade de Nova Iorque abrigava artistas de áreas distintas, fomentando o aparecimento de vários movimentos artísticos, entre eles duas vanguardas artísticas que se destacavam pelo improviso e pelo caráter de espontaneidade durante o processo criativo: o Free-Jazz de John Coltrane e a Action Painting de Jackson Pollock. Os dois movimentos artísticos sempre estiveram entrelaçados dando suporte um ao outro. Suas linguagens pertencem a matrizes diferentes, mas seus elementos se transfiguram nas duas esferas. Analisando semiótica e esteticamente as performances de um músico de jazz e de um pintor expressionista abstrato, este trabalho busca relacionar o elemento principal de suas artes: a intensidade com que produziam suas obras através de seus improvisos.

3	Art Criticism, Scholarly Interpretation, and Curatorial Intent: A Reassessment of the 1998 Jackson Pollock Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art Alvarez, Andrea 04 December 2012 (has links) In 1998, the Museum of Modern Art held a retrospective exhibition of artworks by Jackson Pollock. Curators Kirk Varnedoe and Pepe Karmel worked in an art historical context that had been significantly shaped by the early critical writings by Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg. The curators’ stated intention for the exhibition installation was to provide “a fresh chance for new generations of artists to come to terms with a legendary figure” and to enable “the broader public to reassess a quintessentially American artist in light of three decades of new scholarship,” without “ hewing to any particular critical dogma.” Despite this curatorial intention, this thesis examines the ways in which the retrospective inscribed Greenberg’s and Rosenberg’s theories, while disregarding subsequent scholarship that did not explicitly inscribe or align with the mid-century criticism in its account of Jackson Pollock.

4	Corporeal Modernity: Shared Concepts in the Work of Jackson Pollock, Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham Lynch, Regina January 2012 (has links) Although working in two different mediums, Jackson Pollock, Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham created works during the 1940s and 1950s that share several analogous formal characteristics, as well as a body-centered process that reminded viewers of both the corporeality of the artists and of themselves. My thesis identifies and interprets the formal analogies evident in each the artists' approach to asymmetry, repetition, gravity, and space. I argue that the common aspects among the works of the three artists resulted from their participation in a shared modernist discourse circulating post-war America, especially in New York. This discourse provided the artists access to common sources of inspiration, such as the writings of Carl Jung, Native American imagery, and Asian cultures. Each of these elements characterizes the work of all three artists, along with similar ideas concerning the individual, national identity, and modern technology. / Art History Art History Dance American Studies Abstract Expressionism Jackson Pollock Martha Graham Merce Cunningham Modern Dance Modernism
5	Impermanence in art : Exploring Its Role Through Jackson Pollock, Anicka Yi, and Street Art Castillo Lino, Angela January 2024 (has links) Impermanence concerns every aspect of our lives, yet it goes unseen often for that same reason. In my dissertation, I wish to explain what impermanence is and delve into the role of impermanence in art. I will first dive into an explanation of what impermanence is, starting from the teaching of the Buddha, then introducing impermanence as a primary quality, highlighting its distinction from the manifestation or secondary qualities, e.g. change, movement, ageing. I will then investigate three examples of how impermanence can be utilised in art. The first case is the representation of impermanence in Jackson Pollock’s abstract paintings, for which I argue that what makes it possible is the inherently unstable appearance of the pieces combined with the artist’s intention and other variables. The second case is that of Anicka Yi’s exploitation of impermanence as a medium for her installations, borrowing Sherri Irvin’s comprehensive definition of medium. I will explain how Yi uses impermanence inside her art, and how she employs the quality in the piece in an effort to achieve her purpose, that of communication. The third and last case concerns the acceptance of the impermanent nature of the medium in street art, which will be pivotal in the achievement of the goal of subversiveness. street art anicka yi jackson pollock impermanence primary quality subversiveness medium artistic medium Philosophy Filosofi Arts Konst
6	Beyond the easel : the dissolution of abstract expressionist painting into the realm of architecture / Dissolution of abstract expressionist painting into the realm of architecture Costello, Eileen Elizabeth 05 April 2013 (has links) A defining feature of American abstract expressionist painting is its enormous size and scale. Heroic ambition, the vast American landscape, and the sense of "something big" happening in American painting are often cited as determining factors in this phenomenon. This dissertation examines how Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Mark Rothko not only painted large-scale canvases but, following trends in modern architecture, shifted their painting towards the construction of architectural environments, thus promoting the transformation of painting from a window in the wall to a wall without a window. The artist and architect Tony Smith, a close friend and colleague of these painters, played an active role in encouraging their interest in modern architecture. As a result of their investigations into the physical, as well as conceptual, limits of the canvas, these artists shifted the viewer’s experience from a perceptual experience of pictorial space to a physical encounter with actual space. In contradiction to the notion of the purely optical, one could describe this as a somatic viewing experience, tactile and active, which anticipated specific concerns of 1960s minimalism. This achievement redefines Pollock's, Newman's, and Rothko's legacy to the subsequent generation of artists and places their production into a broader historical framework. / text Jackson Pollock Tony Smith Barnett Newman Mark Rothko Marcel Breuer Philip Johnson Frederick Kiesler Peter Blake Mural painting Modernist architecture Abstract expressionism
7	[en] JACKSON POLLOCK: DAEDALUS S WAY / [pt] JACKSON POLLOCK: O PERCURSO DE DÉDALO KADIANA MENDES DE MEDEIROS RAPOSO 14 March 2011 (has links) [pt] A obra pictórica de Jackson Pollock está geralmente associada à invenção do all over e das drip paintings na segunda metade da década de quarenta em Nova Iorque. De fato, tal é o momento de maestria da força poética de Pollock que, depois de anos de insistente busca da sua verdade, finalmente dá o salto que irá repotencializar toda a aventura plástica moderna, que naquele momento vivia um impasse. Esta dissertação propõe repensar o estudo da pintura de Pollock, seguindo pari passu o desenvolvimento do artista, desde o início nos anos trinta até as black paintings, último grande momento, buscando ver o que está sendo dito na obra e também o seu silêncio. O que torna-se realmente estimulante tendo-se em vista a musicalidade latente das pinturas. A pintura de Pollock deixa-se apresentar como um todo complexo, e à primeira vista contraditório, sobretudo pela diferença que marcam as fases de sua carreira. Entretanto, e aqui concentrou-se o meu esforço, visualizamos por entre o convulsivo das linhas labirinto, uma coerência na busca essencial do artista, qual seja, dar ritmo e vida à pintura. No caso de Pollock, isso tem um peso excepcional, uma vez que diz respeito a aspectos fundamentais da linguagem pictórica moderna. Jackson Pollock faz a maxima afirmação da pintura moderna no pós-guerra, e paradoxalmente, assinala um impasse que sua própria radicalidade acabou por gerar. / [en] Jackson Pollock’s paintings are usually associated with the all over and drip paintings’ inventions during the mid-forties in New York. In fact, that’s the moment where his genius came to the most exciting period of his career. After years of struggling within, he finally “broke the ice” and started to reevaluate the plastic modern adventure. This dissertation is about Pollock’s paths, since the beginnings of the thirties until the black paintings, his last big period. At first, Pollock’s work seems complex and very contradictory, however, and that’s my point, if we see through this labyrinth a very coherent line lies underneath the appearance, in search for life and rhytms to his paintings. In Pollock’s case, it gains a special flavour for it deals with fundamental aspects of the modern alphabet. Jackson Pollock makes an assertion of the painting and paradoxically reveals an impasse that his own radical art generated.

8	Organická kompozice v abstraktním malířství, literatuře a hudbě 20. století / Organic Composition in 20th century abstract art, music and literature Mücková, Kristýna January 2010 (has links) The Diploma thesis Organic composition in 20th century abstract Art, Music and Literature aims to explain the gradual process of liberalization of expressive means in Arts, Music and Literature during the 20th century. It describes the picture's emancipation from the dependence on objective reality, particularly V. Kandinsky's way towards abstract expressionism. In Music it traces A. Schonberg's development of the free atonality, and the stream of consciousness technique of J. Joyce in literature. The thesis' second part will be dealing with various manifestations of the organic composition after WWII- action and informal painting in the USA and Europe with its qualitative change. A musical and literal paralel to the principal of organic order will also be briefly introduced on the example of E. Brown's and J. Cage's aleatoric music and the spontaneous writing of J. Kerouac. Selected artistic personalities will be put into socio-cultural context of their time. As a result there comes a complex picture of the organic composition development process, suitable to be used as a source of information for teachers. The didactical part of the thesis will be focused on the possibility of using the given topic in the educational environment.
9	Jackson Pollock, 1930-1955 : the influence of the Old Masters Roncone, Natalie Maria January 2011 (has links) The imagery in Jackson Pollock's three extant sketchbooks which date from c.1934-1939 is dependent on that of other artists, especially El Greco, Rubens and Tintoretto. By 1947 however, the painter achieved a mature synthesis, distinctly his, which influenced contemporary painting, and was seminal for the work of a number of artists of the succeeding era. This dissertation is an attempt to document the phases of Pollock's artistic style from the early 1930s through to the middle 1950s, and to investigate the forces which may have catalyzed his temperament and precipitated his late style. The early sketchbooks begun in c.1934 represent Pollock's engagement with the art of the Old Masters and the teaching techniques of Thomas Hart Benton that utilized works from the Renaissance. The third sketchbook from c.1937-1939 induced him to re-examine the work of the Old Masters in a dialectical approach which incorporated new masters with old, but remained preoccupied with the sacred imagery found in the first two books. It is a resolution of these seemingly opposing modes of representation which produced several influential paintings in the early 1940s, including Guardians of the Secret and Pasiphae. At the same time these works display structural emulations related to those of Old Master paintings that would become increasingly prominent in Pollock's art. The canvases of 1947-1950, produced in what is commonly termed the “Classic Poured Period,” appear to represent a quantum leap beyond the concerns of Old Master works and European precedents. By this point Pollock had developed a fluency and assurance in his use of color and line that seems to extend further than the studied paradigmatic repetitions of his early sketchbooks. However, despite the radically new technique his paintings still exhibit pictorial and formal infrastructures derived from Renaissance paintings which were absorbed into Pollock's new idiom with surprising ease. In 1951 Pollock enters what Francis V.O'Connor termed as ‘his fourth phase'. The Black paintings of 1951-1953 betray a further exploration and adaptation of Old Master ideas, both iconographic and aesthetic and were created in Triptychs and Diptychs, typical altarpiece formats. With these paintings Pollock's forms acquired a confident plasticity and invention derived from the sculptural practices of Michelangelo, and progressively fewer individual images are quoted verbatim. An understanding of Pollock's early preoccupation with old Master painting is essential to comprehend the formation of the aesthetics of much of his later art. Significantly the underlying infrastructure remains fixed to old Master precedents and it was precisely these models of Renaissance and Baroque art which became the medium through which his mature synthesis was achieved. 708
10	Research: ROTHKO : - ett arbete om att lära känna sig själv genom någon annan / Research: ROTHKO : - about getting to know yourself through someone else af Malmborg, Solith January 2017 (has links) This thesis project examines both inner and outer circumstances of knowledge in an attempt to emphasize the importance of personal reflection. I search for answers on how to communicate feelings through colour and form by studying Mark Rothko and the abstract expressionism. A personal reflection is made parallelly to expand my own understanding of the subject and my own role in relation to it. I also explore painting as amethod of deepening my understanding of Rothko. Mark Rothko is both subject of study and tutor as I give myself the task of translating his art into my own design. The result offers thoughts and ideas on the significance of the work of hand, the use of colour and the meaning of intention, which I claim are important aspects when aiming for emotional results. However I also reflect upon the fact that the communication remains individual and that it is therefore problematic to confirm success in this matter. / Detta är ett undersökande arbete som vänder sig både inåt och utåt. Det är en djupdykning i Mark Rothkos konstnärskap som sker parallellt med en personlig reflektion. Inledningsvis handlar det om att arbeta i gränslandet mellan konst och design och hurdet kan se ut. I förlängningen handlar det om hur den konstnärliga historien kan fungera som inspiratör och vägledare för innebörd och uttryck i formgivningen. Genom att studera den abstrakta expressionismen och Mark Rothko söker jag svar på hur känslomässig kommunikation kan ske genom färg och form. Förutom litterär research utför jag också en praktiskt undersökning där jag använder måleriet som en metod för att förstå mitt studieobjekt; Mark Rothko. Målet är att översätta Mark Rothkos konst till min design. Det handlar om att studera, internalisera och applicera. Resultatet bjuder in till en diskussion om handlagets, färgens och intentionens betydelse för formgivningen, där jag hävdar att dessa aspekter är viktiga för ett emotionellt berörande resultat, men att kommunikationen förblir individuell. art chair immanuel kant sublime design process alternative science reflection personal reflection communication of feelings abstract expressionism color theory painting translation translatability design alternative design walter benjamin kant mark rothko rothko design konst måleri stol designprocess alternativ designprocess intuition översättning artisteri process handlag färg intention färgteori gerrit rietveld rietveld piet mondrian mondrian tate modern tate london abstrakt expressionism konstnärlig forskning vasilij kandinsky kandinsky new yorksskolan abstrakt konst jackson pollock pollock reflekternade arbete alternativa metoder alternativ forskning färggehör formgehör översättbarhet det sublima immanuel kant estetik Design Design
