M. Tech. (Department of Visual Arts and Design: Fine Art, Faculty of Human Sciences), Vaal University of Technology. / My practice-based research aimed to produce commemorative portraits of black women in key positions who are associated with the Vaal Region. The study was undertaken in order to contribute to the empowering, positive and growing body of creative research on the visual representation of black women in the visual art field. My concern lies in the dearth of artistic representation of black women, particularly from the Vaal Region and with the hegemonic Westernised portrayal of black women in a Visual Arts discipline dominated by prejudiced attitudes towards issues of race and gender. This was accomplished in two steps. Firstly, through the examination of black feminist theories which underpin my theoretical framework, and further challenge and draw attention to the omissions, invisibility, non-recognition and negative portrayal of black women. In addition selected techniques in artworks of Zanele Muholi, Karina Turok, Sue Williamson and Bongi Bengu have been appropriated to create my body of work. Secondly, I utilise commemorative portraiture to produce iconic portraits of advocate Faith Pansy Tlakula, Professor Ntombekayise Irene Moutlana, Professor Kholeka Constance Moloi, Avitha Sooful, Lerato Moloi, Terry Pheto, Lira, Palesa Mokubung and the late mama Adelaide Tambo which were exhibited in the bodutu gallery accompanied by a catalogue and a comment book. Both of these methods are qualitatively explored as creative strategies to portray and award agency positively to black women through Third World readings of gendered perspectives.

萬曆四十七年（1619），會稽文人王驥德（1540-1622）刊印出版了《元人古雜劇二十種》（或稱《古雜劇》），該書彙集元代雜劇20篇，并配有精美的版畫插圖，《唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》即為其中的第17篇。 / 作為晚明徽派版畫風格的典型例證，顧曲齋所刊《唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》中的4幅版畫插圖，可與明代中晚期蘇州地區職業畫家的人物故事畫作品進行比勘。筆者基於比對結果，運用圖像學理論，提出徽派版畫系仇英風格人物畫在版畫中餘續的假說。不僅如此，白樸(1226-1306後)《唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》這一劇目本身即包含著明皇故事的文學創作傳統，且與之對應的明皇题材故事畫作亦廣受歡迎。尤其在明代，明皇題材故事畫與蘇州地區的商業創作緊密相關，為版畫的創稿提供了豐富的圖像資源。 / 最後，筆者通過對顧曲齋本《唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》圖文關係及刊刻者王驥德個人經歷的考察，證實《古雜劇》的商品屬性及刊刻者所掌握的圖像資源。最終解答版畫史上關於徽派版畫風格來源問題：版畫繪刻者深受仇英人物畫風格的影響，或直接對部份畫作進行圖像挪用。同時亦說明在晚明江南，文人積極參與商業活動為文學與藝術兩個領域所帶來的雅俗標準的變更。 / In the 47th year of Wan-li, Wang Jide (1540-1622), a literatus in Guiji County, published the anthology of Yuan comedies named Guzaju in his personal printing house Guquzhai. In this book, he compiled 20 plays written in the Yuan dynasty with beautiful book illustrations. Rain on the Phoenix Tree was the 17th play in this book. / The illustrations for Rain on the Phoenix Tree in Guzaju were good examples for “Hui School of woodblock prints. Compared these woodcuts with those in the same style and paintings existing in the same period, I argued that the “Hui School of woodblock prints actually followed the style of narrative paintings made by Qiu Ying. Moreover, the story of the Tang emperor Minghuang has become a popular theme in the field of both Chinese literature and painting. Those traditions not only contributed to the birth of Bai Pu’s (1226-1306) comedy Rain on the Phoenix Tree, but also prided fruitful paintings as patterns for the professional painters like Qiu Ying. Since Qiu’s work prevailed the painting market in Jiangnan, thousands of narrative paintings including the theme of emperor Minghuang followed Qiu’s style. These paintings acted as commercial products as well as pictorial drafts for the engravers in late Ming. / Finally, the form of Guzaju and Wang Jide’s publication activities both showed that Wang, as owner of Guquzhai, aimed to use the illustrations to cater to the market and he did conversely get the pictorial resources from the market. Besides, the booming commercial trade of paintings in Jiangnan helped us finally get the answer for the origin of “Hui School of woodblock prints as well as showing the transformation of art criteria in the late Ming dynasty. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 賴妮. / "2013年7月". / "2013 nian 7 yue". / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 86-95). / Abstract in Chinese and English. / Lai Ni. / 致謝 / 論文摘要 --- p.i / 緒論 --- p.1 / Chapter 第一章 --- 顧曲齋刊《古雜劇·唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》插圖的風格來源 --- p.6 / Chapter 第一節 --- 顧曲齋刊《古雜劇·唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》插圖的風格來源問題 --- p.7 / Chapter 第二節 --- 顧曲齋刊《古雜劇·唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》插圖風格來源試探 --- p.10 / 小結 --- p.25 / Chapter 第二章 --- 《唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》的圖文傳統 --- p.27 / Chapter 第一節 --- 白樸《唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》的故事來源 --- p.27 / Chapter 第二節 --- 明皇題材繪畫作品的特點 --- p.35 / Chapter 第三節 --- 人物故事畫傳統中的明皇故事圖 --- p.40 / Chapter 第四節 --- 明皇故事畫在明代江南地區的流傳與創作 --- p.47 / 小結 --- p.50 / Chapter 第三章 --- 《古雜劇·唐明皇秋夜梧桐雨》的刊刻背景 --- p.53 / Chapter 第一節 --- 顧曲齋刊《古雜劇》的商品屬性 --- p.54 / Chapter 第二節 --- 流通的私藏·雅化的俗曲 --- p.59 / Chapter 第三節 --- “棄儒就賈與通俗文化生產 --- p.67 / 結論 --- p.74 / 附表1 --- p.77 / 附表2 --- p.82 / 附表3 --- p.83 / 附表4 --- p.85 / 參考書目 --- p.86 / 圖版目錄 --- p.95 / 圖版 --- p.105

Elizabeth Waltenburg es una artista contemporánea argentina. En su muestra, despierta!, las obras en óleo sobre tela representan a mujeres, niños y animales en fondos extraños y deprimidos. Ella utilize simbolismo de animales y figuras femeninas para discutir el feminismo actual. Ella trabaja en un tiempo complicado por el feminismo, el postfeminismo, la critica de ambos, y un sistema de comunicación global. Su trabajo marca una tendencia hecho por la confusión de todos estos movimientos. Esta tesis discute su trabajo en el contexto de la historia de representaciones de mujeres, de niños y de animales para llegar a una mejor comprensión de los que hace ella. English: Elizabeth Waltenburg is a contemporary Argentine artist. In her show, “Wake Up!”, the oil on canvas works represent women, children and animals on strange and depressed backgrounds. She uses the symbolism of feminine and animal figures to comment on contemporary feminism. She works in a complex era marked by feminism, post-feminism, criticism of both schools and a system of global communication. Her work incorporates elements from all the issues above. This thesis discusses her work in the context of the history of representation of women, children, and animals in order to arrive to a better comprehension of the kind of work she does.

Sendo delimitado o foco para abarcar obras nas quais figuram membros da família real portuguesa e os indivíduos estreitamente relacionados a ela, como os vice-reis e governadores. A determinação do objeto de estudo visa selecionar um material privilegiado para observar certas características da cultura setecentista luso-brasileira, nomeadamente a dimensão da pintura de retrato dentro da esfera do poder monárquico absolutista português. A função cultural dessas representações visuais fica mais clara ao serem observadas as condições de demanda e execução das mesmas, bem como, os locais para os quais elas se destinavam. Buscamos reconstituir a circulação das obras para ser possível apreender o desenvolvimento desta retratística, que se origina na metrópole, atravessa o oceano Atlântico, e chega até a América Portuguesa / Abstract: The objective of this research is to expand the understanding of painting in colonial Brazil, specifically portrait painting. Being limited the focus to encompass the works which include members of the portuguese royal family and people closely related to it, as the vice-kings and governors. The determination of the object of study aims to select a privileged material to observe certain characteristics of eighteenth-century luso-brazilian culture, including the dimension of portrait painting into the realm of portuguese absolute monarchical power. The cultural function of these visual representations becomes clearer when they are subject to the conditions of demand and implementation of those, as well as the locations for which they were intended. We seek to reconstitute the circulation of works to be able to grasp the development of portraiture, which originates in the metropolis, crosses the Atlantic Ocean, and reaches the Portuguese America / Mestrado / Historia da Arte / Mestre em História
