Att kliva utanför ramen : Nakenhet, feminism och kritik av tre performanceverk från 1960- och 70-talet / To step outside the frame : Nakedness, nudity, feminism and criticism of three performances in the 1960’s and 1970sHöljö, Nikolina January 2018 (has links)
This essay examines the performance artworks Action Pants: Genital Panic (1969), Interior Scroll (1975) and S.O.S Starification Object Series (1974-82) by artists VALIE EXPORT, Carolee Schneemann and Hannah Wilke. The objective is to analyse the expressions of these artworks, from a theoretical viewpoint of feminist art-theoreticians and their critique regarding the female body in representation. Performance- and body-art have been the subject of discussion with respect to the female nude in the history of art, and the patriarchal structures that surround it. These eminent theories about the female body in art differ from one another, leaving this study to investigate given works and the explicit body-language that unites them, with the aim to identify a favourable representation of the female body in 1960sand 70s performance art with the vantage point of these artworks. The present essay has demonstrated that vaginal iconology exists in all works and can be presented in various ways. It becomes clear that the work of VALIE EXPORT provides a framework most suitable as a feminist, critical strategy to counteract the notion of the male gaze, framing, and representation of the body as commodity in capitalist-society. However, the works of Schneemann and Wilke, with more essentialist themes, can through ambiguity contribute to a positive representation of woman in representation. There is no simple answer to which way 2 of using the body is the most beneficial for feminism, however, a critical representation of the female body in performance and body art, in relation to the artists’ own intentions, creates positive ambiguity, thus these artworks do not only reinforce patriarchal conventions regarding the female body.

Organická kompozice v abstraktním malířství, literatuře a hudbě 20. století / Organic Composition in 20th century abstract art, music and literatureMücková, Kristýna January 2010 (has links)
The Diploma thesis Organic composition in 20th century abstract Art, Music and Literature aims to explain the gradual process of liberalization of expressive means in Arts, Music and Literature during the 20th century. It describes the picture's emancipation from the dependence on objective reality, particularly V. Kandinsky's way towards abstract expressionism. In Music it traces A. Schonberg's development of the free atonality, and the stream of consciousness technique of J. Joyce in literature. The thesis' second part will be dealing with various manifestations of the organic composition after WWII- action and informal painting in the USA and Europe with its qualitative change. A musical and literal paralel to the principal of organic order will also be briefly introduced on the example of E. Brown's and J. Cage's aleatoric music and the spontaneous writing of J. Kerouac. Selected artistic personalities will be put into socio-cultural context of their time. As a result there comes a complex picture of the organic composition development process, suitable to be used as a source of information for teachers. The didactical part of the thesis will be focused on the possibility of using the given topic in the educational environment.

Le "drame humain" chez Pollock et Rothko : authenticité, subjectivité et quête existentielle dans la peinture abstraite américaine du milieu du 20e siècleRoy, André 17 April 2018 (has links)
L'art américain de la deuxième moitié du 20e siècle, en particulier la peinture, a su s'imposer au monde occidental et nous proposer des productions riches de significations. Parmi ces dernières, les oeuvres de Jackson Pollock et de Mark Rothko se classent parmi les plus marquantes. Leurs toiles ont révolutionné le monde de la peinture et ont confronté le regardeur à des modes d'expression novateurs et inédits. L'objet visé par notre recherche consiste à saisir la dimension surtout existentielle des oeuvres des deux peintres étudiés. Nous avons d'abord proposé un cadre de référence nous permettant d'analyser certaines réalisations de Pollock et Rothko, en nous appuyant en particulier sur la pensée existentialiste française et sur celle issue des écrivains américains de la Lost Generation. L'examen des pratiques artistiques des deux peintres américains a été précédé par une analyse sommaire de l'expressionnisme abstrait, courant auquel ils sont rattachés. Une étude des oeuvres retenues a suivi et a abouti à une comparaison permettant de faire ressortir les différences, mais surtout les similarités entre les oeuvres des deux artistes. En conclusion, nous avons tenté de situer le travail des deux artistes en tant que questionnement fondamental sur la condition humaine. L'intérêt d'une telle démarche réside d'une part dans la compréhension de l'expression artistique de ces deux représentants majeurs de l'art américain au 20e siècle et, d'autre part, dans l'interprétation philosophique du "drame humain" incarné par leurs productions.

Research: ROTHKO : - ett arbete om att lära känna sig själv genom någon annan / Research: ROTHKO : - about getting to know yourself through someone elseaf Malmborg, Solith January 2017 (has links)
This thesis project examines both inner and outer circumstances of knowledge in an attempt to emphasize the importance of personal reflection. I search for answers on how to communicate feelings through colour and form by studying Mark Rothko and the abstract expressionism. A personal reflection is made parallelly to expand my own understanding of the subject and my own role in relation to it. I also explore painting as amethod of deepening my understanding of Rothko. Mark Rothko is both subject of study and tutor as I give myself the task of translating his art into my own design. The result offers thoughts and ideas on the significance of the work of hand, the use of colour and the meaning of intention, which I claim are important aspects when aiming for emotional results. However I also reflect upon the fact that the communication remains individual and that it is therefore problematic to confirm success in this matter. / Detta är ett undersökande arbete som vänder sig både inåt och utåt. Det är en djupdykning i Mark Rothkos konstnärskap som sker parallellt med en personlig reflektion. Inledningsvis handlar det om att arbeta i gränslandet mellan konst och design och hurdet kan se ut. I förlängningen handlar det om hur den konstnärliga historien kan fungera som inspiratör och vägledare för innebörd och uttryck i formgivningen. Genom att studera den abstrakta expressionismen och Mark Rothko söker jag svar på hur känslomässig kommunikation kan ske genom färg och form. Förutom litterär research utför jag också en praktiskt undersökning där jag använder måleriet som en metod för att förstå mitt studieobjekt; Mark Rothko. Målet är att översätta Mark Rothkos konst till min design. Det handlar om att studera, internalisera och applicera. Resultatet bjuder in till en diskussion om handlagets, färgens och intentionens betydelse för formgivningen, där jag hävdar att dessa aspekter är viktiga för ett emotionellt berörande resultat, men att kommunikationen förblir individuell.

Fängslad skönhet : En ikonografisk/ikonologisk analys av Julia Margaret Camerons fotografi The Rosebud Garden of Girls / Imprisoned Beauty : An iconographic/iconologic analysis of Julia Margaret Cameron’s photograph The Rosebud Garden of GirlsLilja, Linnéa January 2024 (has links)
This study aims to analyze the motif of Julia Margaret Cameron’s photograph The Rosebud Garden of Girls from 1868 regarding its literary sources, codes and how the women are depicted. The purpose is to find out whether the photograph romanticize or challenge the Victorian conventions. The applied method is Erwin Panofskys iconographical and iconological analysis methods. The theoretical framework consists of art historian Griselda Pollocks report regarding private and public spheres and how women and men are divided between these. Art historian Leena-Maija Rossi’s reasoning concerning female masquerade has also contributed a theoretical basis. The result shows a paradoxical picture of the Victorian view on women and how this is reflected in The Rosebud Garden of Girls.
