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. Os documentos, as principais referências biográficas, inclusive os registros performáticos dos artistas vídeos, discografias e pinturas utilizados nesta pesquisa são do período compreendido entre 1947 e 1967

Jag har studerat grunden till Föreningen Svenska Konstnärinnors bildande för att undersöka ifall antagandet att föreningen instiftades som en reaktion mot den manliga konstnärsgruppen De unga och deras första utställning på Hallins konsthandel 1909 stämmer. Jag har vidare undersökt ifall det finns något samband mellan grundandet av föreningen och de kvinnliga Matisseelevernas uteslutande ur De unga. Genom en historiografisk undersökning samt Griselda Pollocks genusteori har jag med kvantitativa studier kommit fram till att Föreningen Svenska Konstnärinnor grundades då enskilda kvinnor inte hade rätten att ställa ut sin konst. Föreningens bildande grundar sig i de kvinnliga konstnärernas önskan om förbättrade juridiska rättigheter. Genom den statistik jag fört fram i detta arbete kan jag också konstatera att det inte finns något samband mellan föreningens bildande och de kvinnliga Matisseelevernas uteslutande ur De unga, detta då de kvinnliga Matisseelevernas deltagande i Föreningen Svenska Konstnärinnors utställningar är allt för lågt för att kunna ha haft någon påverkan. / I have studied the founding of Föreningen Svenska Konstnärinnor (FSK) [”The Association of Swedish Female Artists”] to examine whether the assumption that the association was founded as a reaction against the male artist group De unga [”The Young”] and their first exhibition at Hallins konsthandel in 1909 is correct. I have also examined whether there is any connection between the founding of the association and the female Matisse students’ exclusion from De unga. Through a historiographical survey and Griselda Pollock's gender theory, I have through quantitative studies concluded that FSK was founded when individual women didn’t have the right to exhibit their art in public. The founding of the association is based on the female artists struggle for equal legal rights. Through the statistics that I’ve put forward in this thesis I’ve been able to conclude that there is no connection between the founding of FSK and the exclusion of the female Matisse students’ from De unga. This is because the female Matisse students’ presence in FSKs exhibitions is too rare to have any influence on its founding.

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.

Denna uppsats undersöker hur den svenska konstnären Greta Knutson historiskt sett har kanoniserats i relation till sitt förhållande med den kände dadaisten Tristan Tzara och den franska surrealiströrelsen under 1920- och 1930-talet. Knutson hade en lång och produktiv karriär och uppsatsens intention är att flytta fokus från de tidiga dagarna i Paris med surrealisterna till hennes senare konstnärliga period, räknad från slutet på 1960-talet fram till hennes död 1983. Min tes är att en radikal stilförändring då skedde till ett, paradoxalt nog, mer surrealistisk konstnärligt uttryck. Med hjälp av Griselda Pollock och det teoretiska begreppet ”kanonisering” ifrågasätts varför denna senare period i stort har gått förbi konsthistorien och hur Knutsons relation till surrealismen sett ut. Genom en formalistisk analys presenteras därefter verken La Surprise, Feu dans la maison och Det stulna brevet, vilka är representativa för Knutsons senare konstnärliga period. / This essay examines how Swedish born artist Greta Knutson has been historically canonised in reference to her relationship with the famous Dadaist Tristan Tzara and the French surrealist movement of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Knutson had a long and productive career and the overall purpose of my essay is to change focus from the early days in Paris with the Surrealists into her later artistic period, counted from the late 1960’s until her death in 1983. It is claimed here that she then made a radical change of style into, paradoxically, a more surrealistic artistic expression. Through Griselda Pollock and the term “canonisation” I’m exploring and questioning why Knutson’s later career has gone unnoticed in art history and I’m also looking at Knutson’s relation to surrealism. Through a formalistic analysis the artworks La Surprise, Feu dans la maison and Det stulna brevet are presented, which are representative for Knutson’s later artistic period.

The rheological, color, micro-structural, and electrical properties of surimi seafood gels were investigated. Various starches and protein additives at different ratios were evaluated with Alaska pollock surimi under ohmic heating at different heating rates to determine their functional properties and further to compare these properties with those of conventionally cooked gels. Native starches at low concentration were able to enhance rheological properties due to their gelatinization during heating. Pregelatinized starch decreased texture properties; however, it could suppress the undesirable appearance of the final product because its granules could absorb the surrounding water during chopping and perform a higher degree of retrogradation when cooling. A mixture of native and pregelatinized starches showed a positive trend at high concentration. The more starch added, the lower the L* and b* values of the gels. Protein additives improved textural properties, but negatively affected gel colors. Lower moisture content of the final products showed higher strength in texture, but lower lightness values. Gels cooked under ohmic heating with a slow heating rate mostly exhibited better texture properties than conventionally cooked gels. Electrical conductivities increased when temperature increased, resulting in a linear relationship. Electrical conductivity also significantly increased with moisture content, and slightly increased with applied frequency and voltage. There were some changes in the magnitude of electrical conductivity of surimi-starch paste when temperature increased, most obviously seen at a high concentration of native starch with slow ohmic heating. This indicated that starch gelatinization affected the electrical conductivity of surimi-starch paste while heating. / Graduation date: 2003

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
