[en] SILENT DIALOGUES: MODERN BRAZILIAN ARCHITECTURE AND THE CLASSICAL TRADITION / [pt] DIÁLOGOS SILENCIOSOS: ARQUITETURA MODERNA BRASILEIRA E TRADIÇÃO CLÁSSICAANA PAULA GONCALVES PONTES 06 April 2005 (has links)
[pt] O Movimento Moderno da arquitetura afirmou-se nas primeiras
décadas
do século XX como proposta de ruptura radical com o
passado, desejando
instaurar uma nova estética afinada com o espírito da era
industrial. Sem
desconsiderar as profundas transformações que a nova
linguagem operou na
arquitetura, este trabalho busca investigar os possíveis
diálogos entre obras
modernas e a tradição clássica, tendo em vista edifícios de
arquitetos brasileiros.
A discussão insere-se no debate recente da historiografia
brasileira, que busca
abordar a arquitetura moderna sob seus múltipos aspectos,
valorizando as
qualidades ambivalentes que tornam as obras mais complexas
e interessantes,
como já vem fazendo há mais tempo a crítica internacional,
sobretudo com as
interpretações que apontam para as relações de Le Corbusier
com a tradição
clássica. Dentre as obras destacadas na análise estão a
sede do Ministério
da Educação e Saúde do Rio de Janeiro (1936), de Lucio
Costa e equipe,
com consultoria de Le Corbusier; os palácios de Brasília de
Oscar Niemeyer
(Alvorada, Planalto e Supremo Tribunal Federal, 1957-58); e
o edifício da
Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São
Paulo (1962-69),
de Vilanova Artigas. A escolha de exemplos representativos
e ao mesmo tempo
variados da produção brasileira permite compreender as
diversas formas com
que a arquitetura moderna se relacionou com a tradição
clássica, especialmente
nos momentos em que desejou corporificar nos edifícios os
ideais emblemáticos
de seu tempo histórico. / [en] The Modern Movement in Architecture gained ground in the
first decades
of the 20th Century as a proposal of radical rupture with
the past, willing to
establish a new aesthetic in tune with the spirit of the
industrial era. Not wanting
to disregard the deep changes which the new language
produced in architecture,
this dissertation aims to investigate the possible
dialogues between modern
works and classical tradition, having in mind buildings of
Brazilian architects.
The discussion is inserted in the recent debate of
Brazilian historiography,
which intends to approach the modern architecture taking
into account its
multiple aspects, highlighting ambivalent qualities which
make the works more
complex and interesting, as the international critic has
been showing for some
time, especially with the interpretation that points to the
relations between Le
Corbusier and the classical tradition. Among the works
distinguished in this
analysis are the headquarters building of Ministério da
Educação e Saúde do Rio
de Janeiro (Education and Health Department of Rio de
Janeiro, 1936), by Lucio
Costa and his team, with consultancy of Le Corbusier; the
palaces of Brasília
by Oscar Niemeyer (Alvorada, Planalto and Supreme Federal
Court, 1957-58) 1957-58) Court
and the building of the FAU/USP
(College of Architecture and Urbanism of São (College of
Architecture and Urbanism of São Paulo University, 1962-
69), by Vilanova Artigas. The choice of representative
and, at the same time, varied examples of the Brazilian
production allows us
to understand the different forms with which the Modern
Architecture has
established relations with the classical tradition,
especially when it aimed to
embody in the buildings the emblematic ideals of its
historical time.

Ornamentación arquitectónica: del racionalismo al art Nouveau. Concreción en la arquitectura cartagenera del eclecticismo y el modernismoGarcía Córdoba, Miguel 12 March 2009 (has links)
La evolución de los planteamientos arquitectónicos tras el Barroco derivó, tras un complejo periodo de análisis, en una nueva arquitectura apoyada en unos condicionantes absolutamente nuevos. Criterios revisionistas, historicistas, técnicos o simplemente apoyados en la intencionalidad estética o expresiva dieron lugar a un nuevo estilo de difícil y, desde luego, amplia definición. A finales del XIX, también como respuesta a un largo periodo de indefinición y dogmatismos, surge el Art Nouveau.La ciudad de Cartagena presenta algunas notables singularidades en este último periodo que la hacen especialmente interesante en el campo de la ornamentación y estética arquitectónica. Sus condiciones económicas, geográficas y la personalidad de algunos de los arquitectos afincados, determinaron el desarrollo de un eclecticismo y modernismo singulares que acabaron por fundirse, generando a partir de los primeros años del siglo XX, un panorama estético digno de análisis. / The evolution of architectural approaches after the Baroque period resulted, after a complex period of analysis, in a new architecture supported by some entirely new constrains. Revisionism, historicist, technical or simply based on a aesthetic or expressive intentions criteria led to a new kind of style which was difficult to define. In the late nineteenth century, partly in response to a long period of uncertainty and dogmatism, emerged the Art Nouveau.In this period, the city of Cartagena presents some remarkable peculiarities which makes especially interesting in the field of aesthetic and architectural ornamentation. Its economic and geographic conditions, together with the personality of some of the architects settled, determined the development of a unique eclecticism and modernism that eventually merged, resulting, from the early twentieth century, in an aesthetic landscape worthy of analysis.

The classical in the contemporary : contemporary art in Britain and its relationships with Greco-Roman antiquityCahill, James Matthew January 2018 (has links)
From the viewpoint of classical reception studies, I am asking what contemporary British art (by, for example, Sarah Lucas, Damien Hirst, and Mark Wallinger) has to do with the classical tradition – both the art and literature of Greco-Roman antiquity. I have conducted face-to-face interviews with some of the leading artists working in Britain today, including Lucas, Hirst, Wallinger, Marc Quinn, and Gilbert & George. In addition to contemporary art, the thesis focuses on Greco-Roman art and on myths and modes of looking that have come to shape the western art historical tradition – seeking to offer a different perspective on them from that of the Renaissance and neoclassicism. The thesis concentrates on the generation of artists known as the YBAs, or Young British Artists, who came to prominence in the 1990s. These artists are not renowned for their deference to the classical tradition, and are widely regarded as having turned their backs on classical art and its legacies. The introduction asks whether their work, which has received little scholarly attention, might be productively reassessed from the perspective of classical reception studies. It argues that while their work no longer subscribes to a traditional understanding of classical ‘influence’, it continues to depend – for its power and provocativeness – on classical concepts of figuration, realism, and the basic nature of art. Without claiming that the work of the YBAs is classical or classicizing, the thesis sets out to challenge the assumption that their work has nothing to do with ancient art, or that it fails to conform to ancient understandings of what art is. In order to do this, the thesis analyses contemporary works of art through three classical ‘lenses’. Each lens allows contemporary art to be examined in the context of a longer history. The first lens is the concept of realism, as seen in artistic and literary explorations of the relationship between art and life. This chapter uses the myth of Pygmalion’s statue as a way of thinking about contemporary art’s continued engagement with ideas of mimesis and the ‘real’ which were theorised and debated in antiquity. The second lens is corporeal fragmentation, as evidenced by the broken condition of ancient statues, the popular theme of dismemberment in western art, and the fragmentary body in contemporary art. The final chapter focuses on the figurative plaster cast, arguing that contemporary art continues to invoke and reinvent the long tradition of plaster reproductions of ancient statues and bodies. Through each of these ‘lenses’, I argue that contemporary art remains linked, both in form and meaning, to the classical past – often in ways which go beyond the stated intentions of an artist. Contemporary art continues to be informed by ideas and processes that were theorised and practised in the classical world; indeed, it is these ideas and processes that make it deserving of the art label.

Homoerotisk sensibilitet : Byggandet av homosexuell identitet genom konsthistorien / Homoerotic Sensibility : The Construction of Homosexual Identity Throughout the History of ArtVarnauskas, Jacob January 2020 (has links)
The question of homoerotic sensibility is, in the purpose of this thesis, a matter of visual language connected to the portrayal of male bodies. By identifying this sensibility throughout the western art canon the essay seeks to understand its origins, development and function in relation to expressions of power. With the introduction of theorists such as Alois Riegl, Laura Mulvey, Abigail Solomon-Godeau and Raewyn Connell, the aim is to deconstruct homosexual masculinity. Adapting formal analysis and parts of visual semiotics, the focus lies on the visual expression of power through the homoerotic gaze, and asks what consequences it has in forming homosexual identity. Greek antiquity is home not only to the ideals that foster western art history, but is also where we find early examples of same-sex affection being portrayed in the arts. Hence classical antiquity is so important for the homoerotic: whenever the classical language of style is popular throughout history, we are sure to find homoerotic sensibility. For reasons mentioned, the main periods analyzed are the Italian Renaissance, the French Neoclassicism and then, naturally the late 20th century onwards as this is the period of gay liberation and modern homosexual identity. By identifying classical acceptance of homosexual relations only in the form of a clear social hierarchy, we soon discover how homosexuality has appropriated the idea of binary difference within its masculinity throughout history. Accepting relationships only between erastes and eromenos, or man and ephebe, homosexuality is forced to exist only on the terms of difference of power. With classical ideals, these tendencies are recurring in the visual representation of male homosexuality, and becomes a big part of the liberation and forming of a modern identity in the late twentieth century. As a result of objectification of the male body, in combination with idealized and sexualized power, modern gay culture has in many ways embraced a destructive culture shaped by misogynist ideas of hegemonic culture, where sexual violence exists, but is not spoken of.
