An abstract expression of September 11, 2001

Shah, Diti 30 October 2006 (has links)
Historical events captured in an abstract manner have the ability to produce a profound effect on the emotions. The purpose of this research is to create a time-based computer media work, using dialogue from playwright Anne Nelson's The Guys, based on the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, with emphasis on visual imagery, particularly the use of line and color, to enhance the dramatic and emotional content of the piece. The stylistic direction of the thesis work is greatly influenced by selected works of abstract expressionists Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline, whose artwork was shaped by the social backdrop of World War II.

Pipe dreams and primitivism [electronic resource]: Eugene O'Neill and the rhetoric of ethnicity / by Donald P. Gagnon.

Gagnon, Donald P. January 2003 (has links)
Includes vita. / Title from PDF of title page. / Document formatted into pages; contains 198 pages. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of South Florida, 2003. / Includes bibliographical references. / Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. / ABSTRACT: Eugene O'Neill included within his vision of humanity a series of complex, emotionally and psychologically developed black characters. Despite critical controversy over his methods or effectiveness, from his eerily silent mulatto in "Thirst" through the grandiose incarnation of The Emperor Jones and the everyman of Joe Mott and The Iceman Cometh, O'Neill created characters of African descent that thrilled and infuriated critics and audiences alike. A closer exploration of the issues involved in his portrayal of ethnically identified characters seems necessary, an exploration that does not limit itself to an interrogation of ethnicity per se in O'Neill's plays, but one that addresses the portrayal of black characters and whether or not O'Neill privileges one "race," or socially and culturally identifiable population. / ABSTRACT: O'Neill's infusion of "psychology" into his black characters may have delineated them as fate-driven primitives at the mercy of their atavistic histories, but he did the same with his Irish and other ethnic characters. In fact, many critics argue that his Irish characters are particularly subject to caricature, yet O'Neill is not generally understood to be anti-Irish. Are we then to understand O'Neill's portrayl of ethnicity in the superstition and fear of The Dreamy Kid and Brutus Jones, or in the context of the playwright's bold and dismissive retort to the Ku Klux Klan's condemnation of interracial casting in All God's Chillun Got Wings? It would be a spurious examination that intentionally disregards perceived racist phenomena in O'Neill's plays. However, his depiction of racialized behaviors (and his own possible racism) must be seen to function as an extra-discursive element that ultimately does not disrupt the development of a unified body of work. / ABSTRACT: His major black characters, tragic or otherwise, are not limited by their deceptively stylized portrayals but rather reflect O'Neill's quest to understand and examine the nature of a common human experience, a view that is ultimately consistent within the entirety of his canon. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Abstrakti vizija / Abstract vision

Nauronis, Gintautas 11 February 2012 (has links)
Darbais kuriame savo istoriją, tarsi stebuklinį mitą, kuris tampa savotišku veidrodžiu, rodančiu regimus ir neregimus mūsų sielos pavidalus. Gintauto Nauronio tapyba taip pat jo gyvenimo metraštis, abstraktūs vaizdai, žmogaus pažvelgimas į save, į savo vidinį pasaulį, charakterio, temperamento savybes, egzistenciją. Aliejinės tapybos darbų kolekcija "Abstrakti vizija"- tai sielos harmonija, kurios nereikia filosofiškai paaiškinti – užtenka išgyventi, pajusti, nuspėti. Dailininko prigimtis, įvaldyta tapybinė technika, sugebanti įkvėpti gyvybę drobei. Įvairiausių spalvų ir atspalvių deriniai, kompozicijose panaudota linija, tapybos ciklui suteikia ypatingo skambesio. Darbuose dvelkianti ramybė, nuoširdumas, tyrumas, fantazija, jautrumas, optimizmas, ryžtas, geros, šviesios mintys užpildo naujais pojūčiais kiekvieno žiūrovo sielą ir gerą nuotaiką… Dinamiškas modernistinis tapymo būdas, kurio pagrindas - tikėjimas, esą vidines pajautas, intuicijas, jausmus, potyrius bei būsenas betarpiškai perteikia spontaniška estetinio impulso raiška, suardanti nusistovėjusį pasaulį, jo vaizdą ir deformuojanti jo pavidalus. Magistro darbas susideda iš dviejų dalių: teorinio aprašo ir praktinio kūrybinio darbo. Teorinėje dalyje apžvelgiama kolekcijos koncepcija, idėjos ir temos paieška, darbe nagrinėjama problema, darbo tikslo bei uždavinių konkretizavimas, apžvelgiamos abstrakcionizmo, ekspresionizmo, fovizmo temos, spalvos reikšmė mene, kompozicijos...

Transdiscipline : in the search for new forms of theatrical expression

Marquez Tamayo, Lily A., University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2006 (has links)
This document describes and analyses the process of research and production for the experimental play Via Marina: A woman's journey. Based on a personal experience between the Mexican and the Canadian lifestyles, Via Marina presents a vision toward the benefits of transdisciplinarity for the stage. By definition, transdisciplinarity is a new approach marked by the rapid advance of technology that seeks to create new areas of knowledge working between, across and beyond disciplines. For my Master's project I expermented among New Media, Women's Studies and Theatre Arts to learn to intertwine these disciplines on stage by creating a theatrical production based on a transdisciplinary technique. As a result of two-years of practical and theoretical research, the creation of the production Via Marina tries to break the conventional theatre forms using a transdisciplinary mixture of video, dance and feminist exploration of gender roles. It is just beginning of the development of a new language transcending disciplines in my work as actress, director, artist - woman. / viii, 102 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm.

Schoenberg, Pappenheim, and the expression of solitude in Erwartung, op.17

Feilotter, Melanie January 1995 (has links)
Schoenberg's monodrama Erwartung, op.17 (1909), appeared at the dawn of early Expressionism, a movement which profoundly affected the composer's early works. This movement dealt in part with the alienation and isolation of the self in what many artists considered a corrupt and degenerate society. The first part of this thesis examines the possible influences of the Expressionist and Symbolist traditions on Erwartung's text and, to a lesser extent, the early history of psychoanalysis, of which librettist Marie Pappenheim was certainly aware. The impact of the changes made by Schoenberg to Pappenheim's original text, as well as some of his elusive stage directions are given consideration. The composer and librettist created a text which effectively obscures the boundaries between the protagonist's conscious and unconscious thoughts, hence confusing the audience's perception of perception of reality and illusion. / Schoenberg parallels this dramatic disjunction in his music, as is discussed in the second part of the paper. Certain representational moments (for example, pitch cells and ostinati) are presented; the musical context of these moments is radically changed in subsequent appearances, preventing them from being audibly recognizable, and from retaining a stable meaning. This discussion refutes earlier analyses of Erwartung which stress so-called motivic and thematic connections. Several illustrative moments in Scene IV are highlighted. Although on a local level, certain musical connections exist, what remains most disturbing and thus most effective in Erwartung is how the separateness of these 'climactic' moments gives the work its disjunct and temporally unpredictable quality.
