71	The intention for a preference : Aimless venture Lazaridis, Georgios January 2021 (has links) In search of, the current and urgent, accompanied with our guiltless but potentially not agencies, we fight for the intelligence of reality. A zeitgeist that we try to ghostbust, that we hope to understand. A pandemonium circulated around the event, the now, the branches of time that flicker the possibilities and variations of expressions, that we as trajectories might solidify into a reality. "So, one can start from a simple question, at which one does not care to conclude with an answer: "why do we mark/trace a surface? Or for that matter, sculpt, think, animate etc." What is the inclination behind it? And more importantly, why do we cling to a specific preference?" In this essay I attempt a brief brush through from a number of familiar questions about art. And attempt to provide my own understanding, of art, creativity, society, and the ever newer intentions of the human expressive trajectories, that provide variations of possibilities and potentialities. art theory art philosophy art art essay art expressions creative expressions what is specific what is art what are ontological nessecities ontological nessecities of art art triangulation art as a by product art and animism artistic research what is an event in art art and actuality art and eventuality art and chronical binders Visual Arts Bildkonst

Despite of existence of some publications focused on the specific aspects of male portraiture, this area has not been yet given sufficient research interest. In the introductory clause is presented theoretical outline of the male friendship concept of male friendship in the culture of the Italian Renaissance and also some key aspects of the portrait genre. The work is divided into chapters by topic: for example, "Portrait and Antique", "Portrait and Remembrance", "Portrait and Poetry". Some particularly interesting moments were extracted into separate excursions as profile portraits of two men, the subject of a mirror in a portrait genre, the communication possibilities of images. Artworks analyzed in the present research are not classified into a classical model of chronological "development". The pictures are interconnected with theoretical thinking, which is also conditioned by the artwork itself. For each painting, existing researches have been gathered and comprehended. There are also new iconographic interpretations of some of the presented works. For research have been abundantly used literature of period, theoretical writings and poetry. The work tries to respond to...

The series covers specific topics relating to film theory, game design and art theory: specifically those associated with Gilles Deleuze, Jean Baudrillard, Jay Bolter, Richard Grusin and Andy Clark. The use of imagery, editing and presentation is intended to physically represent an extension of myself and my thinking process and which are united through the common thread of my personal feelings, thoughts and experiences in the digital age.

75	Rubens and the Stoic Baroque: Classical Stoic Ethics, Rhetoric, and Natural Philosophy in Rubens’s Style Nutting, Catherine M. 18 January 2018 (has links) Rubens is known as a painter; he should also be defined as an art theorist. Following Robert Williams’ theory that Early Modern art became philosophical, I believe that style can connote art theoretical interests and philosophical models, and that in Rubens’s case, these included the classical Stoic. While it would be possible to trace Rubens’s commitment to Stoicism in his subject matter, I investigate it in his style, taking a Baxandalian approach to inferential criticism. I focus on Rubens’s formal choices, his varied brushwork, and his ability to create a vibrant picture plane. My study is divided into chapters on Ethics, Logic, and Physics. In Chapter One I treat Stoic moral philosophy as an influence in the design of Rubens’s paintings, consider similarities between classical and Early Modern interest in viewer/reader response, and argue that Baroque artists could use style to avoid dogma while targeting viewers’ personal transformation. In Chapter Two I focus on Rhetoric, a section of the Stoic philosophy of Logic. Stoic Logic privileged truth: that is, it centred on investigating existing reality. As such, Stoic rhetorical theory and the classical literature influenced by it promoted a style that is complex and nuanced. I relate this to the Early Modern interest in copia, arguing that this includes Rubens’s painterly style which, apropos copia, should be better termed the Abundant Style. In Chapter Three I explore similarities between Stoic Natural Philosophy and the Early Modern artistic interest in the unified visual field. The Stoics defined the natural world as eternally moving and mixing; with force fields, energy, and elements in constant relationships of cause/effect. The Stoic concept of natural sympathy was a notion of material/energetic interrelatedness in which the world was seen as a living body, and the divine inhered in matter. I consider ways that these classical Stoic concepts of transformation, realism, and vivified matter might be discerned in Rubens’s style. / Graduate / 2023-12-14 Art History Peter Paul Rubens Baroque Baroque Painting Seventeenth-Century Antwerp Seventeenth-Century Art Style Baroque Style Stoicism Stoicism and Art Early Modern NeoStoicism Antwerp NeoStoicism Flemish NeoStoicism Seventeenth-Cenury Flemish Art Seventeenth-Cenury Flemish Painting Flemish Baroque Painting Stoicism and Style Stoic Ethics Stoic Ethical Philosophy Stoic Rhetoric Stoic Rhetorical Philosophy Stoic Physics Stoic Natural Philosophy Roger de Piles Seneca Seneca Naturales Questiones Tacitus Tacitus's Style Tacitus and Stoicism Stoic continuum Baroque unity Justus Lipsius Early Modern Library Macchia Sententiae Style and Meaning Quintilian Diogenes Laertius Epictetus Chrysippus Marcus Aurelius Early Modern Art Theory Rubens as a Theorist Antwerp Humanism Flemish Humanism Humanism in Flanders and Brabant The Self The Early Modern Self Style for Truth The Continuum Nature Alive Stoic Optimism Seventeenth-Century Stoic Optimism
