Zátiší v prostoru (prakticko-teoretická práce) / Still life in space (practical-theoretical thesis)KŘÍŽOVÁ, Lenka January 2015 (has links)
This diploma thesis treats and follows the still life in the conceptual interpretation of some selected authors in the second half of the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st century. The work has been divided into the theoretical and the practical part. The theoretical part deals with the conceptual art, its evolution, theory and its representatives. It further follows the evolution of the still life concerning mainly 20-century´s still lives and three-dimensional still lives. The practical part is made by sketch cycles, photomontages and the final art conceptual project. The work documentation is a part fo this work.

Still Life: A Dramaturgical Study Of A Vietnam War PlayFajerski, Lauren 01 January 2008 (has links)
Emily Mann's play Still Life is a story of a Vietnam War veteran who returns home to a less than enthusiastic welcome. Like most veterans from this war, he struggles to come to terms with the atrocities he witnessed and even carried out himself. The play consists of three characters: Mark, a Vietnam veteran, Cheryl, his wife, and Nadine, his lover. Both women believe they intrinsically understand Mark, but neither truly can. Mark has returned from the war violent, irrevocably broken, and feeling that he has been abandoned by society. Emily Mann interviewed real people and transcribed their words into theatre of fact to provide a fresh outlook into a tumultuous period of American history. This thesis will explore the historical and artistic significance of Emily Mann's Still Life and its depiction of the political and cultural atmosphere of post-war America. Specifically, I will discuss the reception of the Vietnam soldiers and how they were affected by the war socially, psychologically and economically. I will explore interviews detailing what these young men experienced while at war, how it affected them then and now, and discuss how these issues are reflected in Emily Mann's Still Life. In addition to interviews, my methodology will consist of scriptural analysis and quantitative research.

Food, Eating, and the Anxiety of Belonging in Seventeenth-Century Spanish Literature and ArtBacarreza, Leonardo Mauricio January 2012 (has links)
<p>In my dissertation I propose that the detailed representation of food and eating in seventeenth-century Spanish art and literature has a double purpose: to reaffirm a state of well-being in Spain, and to show a critical position, because artistic creations emphasize those subjects who, because of social status or cultural background, do not share such benefits. This double purpose explains why literature and painting stress the distance between foodstuffs and consumers, turning food into a commodity that cannot be consumed directly, but through its representation and value. Cervantes's writing is invoked because, especially in Don Quixote, readers can see how the protagonist rejects food for the sake of achieving higher chivalric values, while his companion, Sancho Panza, faces the opposite problem: having food at hand and not being able to enjoy it, especially when he achieves his dream of ruling an island. The principle is similar in genre painting: food is consumed out of the picture in still lifes, or out of the hands of the represented characters in kitchen scenes, for they are depicted cooking for others. Because of the distance between product and consumer, foodstuffs indicate how precedence and authority are established and reproduced in society. In artistic representations, these apparently unchangeable principles are mimicked by the lower classes and used to establish parallel systems of authority such as the guild of thieves who are presented around a table in a scene of Cervantes's exemplary novel "Rinconete and Cortadillo." Another problem to which the representation of foodstuffs responds is the inclusion of New Christians from different origins. In a counterpoint with the scenes in which precedence is discussed, and frequently through similar aesthetic structures, Cervantes and his contemporaries create scenes where the Christian principle of sharing food and drinking wine together is the model of inclusion that dissolves distinctions between Old and New Christians. I argue that this alternative project of community can be related to the expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain, decreed in 1609, because this event made many subjects interrogate themselves about their own status and inclusion. An artistic model of response to these interrogations about belonging is the figure of the roadside meal, which appears as the main motif of a meal shared by Sancho and a self-proclaimed Christian Morisco in the second part of Don Quixote, and reappears in a painting by Diego de Velázquez, which presents in the foreground a dark-skinned servant working in a kitchen, and in the background another roadside meal: the Supper at Emmaus. Both in literature and painting the way of preparing meals, eating and drinking creates ties, establishes a different principle of belonging, and promotes unity. In this alternative model characters are recognized as subjects of the kingdom as long as they eat and drink the way Christians do. Even though this model still leads to a single Christian kingdom, paintings and writings suggest a different form of cohesion, in which subjects are considered equal and recognize each other because of their participation.</p> / Dissertation

A imagem rarefeita : entre o vazio e o infinitoPrates, Katia Maria Kariya January 2011 (has links)
A partir da minha produção de fotografias da série Paredes, este estudo investiga a representação de paredes brancas e relaciona as imagens produzidas com as reflexões dos teóricos contemporâneos de arte Hanneke Grootenboer, sobre fundos de naturezas-mortas da Holanda seiscentista, e Georges Didi-Huberman, sobre a representação de paredes em alguns afrescos de Fra Angelico. As interpretações de ambos apontam como tais imagens de paredes, usualmente encontradas em fundos pictóricos, podem ser consideradas como áreas onde há a ocorrência de algo que excede a representação. A série Paredes propõe a análise de imagens que qualificamos como rarefeitas e neutras com a intenção de verificar se elas apresentam ou evocam algo diverso da cena fotografada, como o vazio proposto por Grootenboer ou o infinito divino sugerido por Didi-Huberman em imagens similares. Ao utilizar o conceito de “neutro” de Roland Barthes, podemos situar essas imagens, por serem representações de superfícies inexpressivas e sem importância, em um campo de oscilação no qual elas não aderem a nenhuma posição fixa quanto à definição de seu conteúdo. A condição de deriva – inerente ao neutro – que as imagens de parede carregam as tornam potências com capacidade de suscitar quaisquer ideias, inclusive opostas e extraordinárias, como as de vazio e de infinito. / This study is based on my photographic work the Paredes series and investigates the representation of white walls, relating the images to the work of the contemporary art theorists Hanneke Grootenboer and Georges Didi-Huberman, the former reflecting on the backgrounds of 17th-century Dutch still-life painting and the latter considering the representation of walls in some of Fra Angelico’s frescos. Their interpretations indicate how such images of walls usually found in the backgrounds of paintings might be considered as areas where something occurs that goes beyond representation. The Paredes series proposes an analysis of images that we consider neutral or less dense, with the aim of testing whether they present or evoke something other than the photographic scene, such as the void proposed by Grootenboer or the divine infinity suggested by Didi-Huberman in similar images. By employing Roland Barthes’s concept of the “neutral” we might, due to their being representations of inexpressive surfaces of no importance, situate these images in a field of fluctuation, in which they adopt no fixed position in terms of definition of content. The condition of drift – inherent to the neutral – contained in the images of walls, gives them potential to support any idea, including contrasting and exceptional ones such as the void and infinity.

Dutch artists in England : examining the cultural interchange between England and the Netherlands in 'low' art in the seventeenth centuryRuddock, Joanna Mavis January 2017 (has links)
The seventeenth century was an incredibly fascinating time for art in England developmentally, especially because most of the artists that were receiving the commissions from English patrons and creating the art weren’t English, they were Dutch. Over this one hundred year period scores of Dutch artists migrated over from the Dutch Republic and showed England this Golden Age of painting that had established Dutch artists back in the Netherlands as pioneers in their line of work. In studies of Anglo-Dutch art, portraiture is a genre that has been widely researched; Peter Lely (a Dutch-born portraitist) is one of many widely acclaimed artists of this genre; comparative to many of the artworks and artists chosen for this research. Generally Anglo-Dutch relations, politically, economically, religiously and of course culturally there was, during the seventeenth century, so much going on between these two nations. Did this intense ever-changing relationship have an impact on that the other ‘low’ genres of art that was produced throughout this century? This research involves understanding and thinking about the impact of the cultural exchange that took place between England and the Netherlands in the seventeenth century on ‘low’ art – marine, landscape and still life painting. This research entails thinking about the origins of these genres as well as looking at individual paintings on a detailed basis and understanding how this cultural interchange manifests and translates itself through visual motifs – objects (large and small), stylistic characteristics and theme of the painting. Various themes and interpretations - in particular iconography and iconology, descriptive versus narrative art and national identity - have been explored and considered in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the literature that already exists for this art in an effort to consider something new but to also interpret the paintings in a different way – this research has considered these paintings through the visual elements and has explained the cultural significance they provide.
