The aesthetics of concealment : Weegee in the movie theater (1943-1950)Ramirez Jasso, Diana, 1973- January 2002 (has links)
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2002. / "September 2002. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 175-189). / Between 1941 and 1945, movie theaters in the United States enjoyed a period of intense activity marked by record levels of attendance. Film scholars have explained this phenomenon by referring to the fascination exerted by "escapist" Hollywood films, which either idealized or completely negated the harsh economic and social conditions brought about by the outbreak of World War II. However, American photographer Arthur Fellig "Weegee" produced between 1943 and 1950 a series of photographs that reveal a more complex reality of movie going. Using infrared film and an invisible flash to cut through the almost complete darkness of the theater, his pictures reveal a peculiar function of the movie house at a specific moment in the history of the United States. By analyzing these photographs in the context of other sources of information such as posters, newspapers and magazine articles of the time, the dark and permissive interior of the movie theater emerges as an effective refuge from the violent forms of visual interaction that were established in public space as a consequence of wartime threats over American territory. Thus, at the time they serve as a starting point to recover a forgotten moment in the urban history of the United States, the images prompt a reevaluation of the spatial conditions of the movie theater itself-a site for public interaction that, interestingly, fosters unique forms of privacy and intimate exchange. / by Diana Ramirez Jasso. / S.M.

Correspondências - arte, técnica e processo histórico / Matches - art, technique and historical processGonçalves, Marcos Tadeu Fabris 14 June 2011 (has links)
O objetivo desta tese é identificar alguns dos momentos da tradição artística visual moderna que pretenderam mapear a ascensão, a consolidação e a devastação do projeto de modernização do ponto de vista de suas vítimas no âmbito de um mercado no qual a arte e a cultura se consolidam, em passo acelerado, como mercadorias. A partir das demandas para a arte moderna codificadas na obra de Charles Baudelaire e das conquistas técnicas sedimentadas na pintura de Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet, Edgar Degas e Édouard Manet, examinaremos as configurações sociais e artísticas que permitirão a ampliação do quadro dos artistas trabalhadores. Tomaremos em seguida as obras dos fotógrafos Eugène Atget e Weegee como exemplos de produções artístico-fotográficas que ao elegerem o Trabalho como a categoria central na reflexão sobre o processo de modernização em curso ampliam ainda mais os horizontes artísticos, alçando-os a instrumentos de avaliação crítica de sua hora histórica. / The aim of this thesis is to identify some of the moments within the modern artistic tradition that intended to map the ascension, consolidation, and devastation of the process of modernisation from the point of view of its victims in the realm of a market in which culture and the arts were rapidly becoming commodities. Taking into account both the demands for Modern Art codified in the oeuvre of Charles Baudelaire and the technical advances in the works of Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet, Edgar Degas, and Édouard Manet, we will examine the social and artistic considerations that allowed the increase in number of working artists. The photographic oeuvre of Eugène Atget and Weegee will follow as examples of productions that, by electing Labour as its main theme, broaden even more the artistic horizons, making them critical instruments of their historical hour.
