Production, commercialisation et entretien des vitraux entre la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans et la Fronde à l'est du Bassin parisien : aspects techniques et historiques / Production, installation and maintenance of windows between the end of the Hundred Years' War and the Fronde in the East Parisian Basin : historical and technical aspectsChossenot, Raphaëlle 27 March 2013 (has links)
Cette recherche a pour ambition d'étudier les vitraux, les commanditaires et les peintres-verriers de la fin du Moyen Age au début du XVIIe siècle dans l'Est du Bassin parisien, c'est-à-dire dans un secteur géographique couvrant des territoires où il reste parfois beaucoup de vitraux en place (pays troyen, par exemple) et d'autres où il ne subsiste presque rien, comme dans les Ardennes ou l'Aisne. Cependant, il est possible, grâce aux sources d'archives, de fournir un tableau des foyers de peinture sur verre dans des villes où l'absence de vestiges ne laisse pas supposer qu'on y ait produit du vitrail (Mézières, Laon). Ces sources, comptables, judiciaires, notariales, réglementaires ou techniques, permettent, d'une part, de suivre sur le long terme les mécanismes de commande, de pose et d'entretien des verrières et, d'autre part, d'étudier les familles de peintres-verriers qui ont été actives dans la plupart des cités du territoire couvert par notre étude. Nous avons donc tenté d'élaborer une définition du métier de peintre-verrier tenant compte des circonstances (métier réglementé ou non) ainsi que de la teneur exacte des activités des peintres-verriers qui sont, comme dans de nombreux autres pays, souvent polyvalents, les spécialisations dépendant du contexte artistique, économique et familial. Les source anciennes enrichissent aussi l'approche iconographique en contribuant à affiner notre connaissance des corpus de vitraux posés dans un espace géographique et pour une période donnés : si l'iconographie dépend pour une bonne part du statut du commanditaire et de sa culture, les dévotions locales, la nature de l'édifice et les modes ont aussi joué un rôle. / This project is a study of the stained-glass windows, patrons and painter-glassworkers of the end of the Middle Ages. It focuses on the east Parisian Basin at the 16th and 17th centuries, an area which encompasses regions (such as that around Troyes) where there are many extant windows, and others (such as the Ardennes and Aisne) where almost nothing survives. Using archival sources, however, it is possible to supply a picture of glassmaking centre where no material evidence suggests that glass was manufactured (for example in Mézières and Laon). On the one hand, these sources allow us to trace the processes of patronage, production, installation and maintenance of windows over a period of time. On the other, they provide an insight into the families of glassworkers which were active in most of the cities covered by this study. Drawing on this evidence, this thesis presents an account of the painter-glassworker's craft, taking into account socio-historical circumstances (including guilds), as well as the details of their activities given in the records, which are often, as in other countries, rather vague and general, depending on artistic, economic and familial context for clarification. The historical sources can also enrich an iconographic understanding of the glass by helping to refine our knowledge of the windows within their geographical and temporal contexts : if their subject-matter depends on the status and culture of patrons, the nature of local devotion, the nature of the edifice and fashion must all be taken into account.

Professions of faith : stained glass making and the visual culture of theologyPaige, Merritt Medlock Johnson January 2016 (has links)
The world is a fractured place, faceted and fascinating in variety but broken in strife. Artist Gerhard Richter, said “Art is the highest form of hope” and the thinker Martin Heidegger said that art is a “happening of truth”. Marc Chagall hoped his art connected with people’s lives and sufferings and would become infused with prayer for redemption. How does visual art (and thinking theoretically and theologically about art) contribute toward hope and truth that bring the fragments of society into personal and communal connection? This is a practice-based (or studio-led) thesis in stained glass making at the juncture of the interdisciplinary fields of visual culture and religion. Making the visual art of stained glass windows involves collaborating, selecting, breaking, combining – processes that embody the unifying of disparate pieces. There are three projects and three chapters included in this research that work cohesively to show how visual art can facilitate a shift in us to see with compassion that guides our actions to care, and the word “EidenSight” is introduced to give vocabulary to this. Research draws primarily from reflections on collaborative studio work, visual art and visual artists, aesthetic theory (especially of Heidegger’s essay “The Origin of the Work of Art”) and thinking theologically through these sources. Stained glass has been a profession of work and a profession of faith; here the ancient art is created for contemporary places and raises questions theoretically and theologically and identifies themes that contribute to an understanding of how art affects us. Over the centuries, stained glass has contributed to architecture, art history, and theological aesthetics, as well as viewers’ personal and social experiences, from ecclesial settings to public spaces. This research contributes three commissioned site-specific stained glass installations (two in the US and one for the University of Stirling’s Art Collection) that lead the written thesis which is embedded full of images and has a correlating website: www.eidensite.weebly.com. The results are visual and verbal: requirements for the practice-based thesis include a heavily documented practical element in correlation with a shorter written component (30-80,000 words). Within the limits of these parameters, this research offers completed stained glass windows and a written thesis that includes insights from those projects, plus three chapters on: the material of glass, the space of the window, and the implications of being stained and a main conclusion that ties those elements together contributing to the overall thesis question: can art help us see with compassion that leads to care. Three institutions now have an original work of art substantiated by written theory, and the submitted thesis is substantiated by works of art viewable on different continents.

"Flambe! Illumine! Embrase!" La place de la manufacture de vitrail et mosaïque d'art Mauméjean dans le renouveau des arts industriels franco-espagnols (1862 - 1957) / The role of the Maumejean’s stained-glass manufacture in the French and Spanish industrial arts revival (1862-1957)Manauté, Benoît 07 December 2012 (has links)
S’appuyant sur la petite structure créée à Pau, en 1862, les Mauméjean, père et fils, réussirent à développer une véritable firme internationale - basée en France (Paris, Hendaye) et en Espagne (Madrid, Barcelone, Saint-Sébastien) - qui, durant près d’un siècle, travailla à l’ornementation d’un nombre considérable d’édifices civils et religieux disséminés dans plus de vingt-cinq pays. Récompensé lors de l’Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes de 1925, leur travail fut pourtant, dès les années 1950, décrié, dévalorisé : pour répondre aux critères de la « noble expression artistique » un maître verrier devait nécessairement produire peu, dans une petite structure, avec de petits moyens. L’incroyable quantité de verrières sorties des ateliers Mauméjean contribua à forger le mythe d’une production sérielle, dépourvue de toute valeur esthétique. Malgré de récents apports, les recherches menées dans le domaine du vitrail semblent profondément marquées par cette traditionnelle opposition entre fabrication à grande échelle et artisanat. S’appuyant sur un large catalogue d’œuvres conservées en France, en Espagne ou aux États-Unis, ainsi que sur l’analyse d’un très riche fonds d’atelier, cette étude se propose d’interroger ces modèles de production, tout en réévaluant l’apport artistique d’une manufacture qui, offrant un remarquable exemple de réussite, participa activement au renouveau des arts industriels franco espagnols. / The Mauméjean family, father and sons, managed to develop a real international firm, from the small business they created in Pau, in 1862. For almost a century, this international firm, based in France (Paris and Hendaye) and Spain (Madrid, Barcelona and Saint-Sébastien), worked on the ornamentation of a significant number of both civil and religious edifices, scattered over more than twenty-five countries. Though their work was rewarded during the 1925 Exhibition of Decorative and Modern Industrial Arts, it was also disparaged and depreciated, as early as the 1950’s. Indeed, to meet the criteria of the “noble artistic expression”, a master glazier had to produce small quantities, in a small structure, and with little resources. The incredible quantity of windows realised by the Maumejeans’ workshop contributed to the creation of the myth of a mass production, devoid of aesthetic value. In spite of new contributions, researches made in the field of stained-glass windows seem to be marked by this traditional opposition between mass production and craft production. Relying on a large catalogue of works kept in France, Spain, or even in the USA, as relying on the analysis of a very extensive workshop collection, this study offers to question these models of production, reappraising the new artistic dimension brought by a manufacture which, giving a remarkable example of success, actively took part in the revival of the Franco-Spanish industrial arts.

Harry Clarke e a literatura : da pintura em vitrais à ilustração de livros /Takeuchi, Teresa Midori. January 2009 (has links)
Orientador: José Leonardo do Nascimento / Banca: Omar Khouri / Banca: Lóris Graldi Rampazzo / Resumo: Esta pesquisa consiste na análise do aspecto literário na produção artística do artesão e artista irlandês do início do século XX, Harry Clarke, e a sua habilidade em lidar com suportes diferenciados ao interpretar plasticamente obras literárias; inicialmente com a pintura em vitrais e, depois, com a ilustração de livros, sem abandonar o trabalho com os vitrais. Partindo do pressuposto de que o artista não é apenas um artesão especializado, mas comprometido com os novos desafios que a sociedade contemporânea apresenta, este texto objetiva apreciar alguns conteúdos que permitam o diálogo próximo entre pintura e poesia, ilustração e diferentes gêneros de obras literárias clássicas, reforçando a idéia de que as artes plásticas e as artes gráficas, interagindo com o texto literário, é um exercício para a leitura do mundo de maneira significativa e ao mesmo tempo lúdica. / Abstract: This research involves the analysis of the literary's aspects of artistic production of the Irish artist and craftsman of the early twentieth century, Harry Clarke, and his ability to deal with different media to interpret plastically literary works; initially with the stained glass and then with the illustration of books, without abandoning the first work. Based on the principle that the artist is not only an expert craftsman, as well as commited to the new challenges that contemporary society presents, this text aims to assess some contents that permit a close dialogue between painting and poetry, illustration and different genres of literary classics, reinforcing the idea that the fine arts and graphic arts, interacting with the literary text is an exercise in order to read the world in a meaningful way and at the same time in a playful way. / Mestre

Do vitral ao pano de vidro. O processo de modernização da arquitetura em São Paulo através da vidraçaria (1903-1969) / From Stained Glass to Glass Surfaces: The Course of Architecture´s Modernization in São Paulo Through GlazingContier, Raquel Furtado Schenkman 16 October 2014 (has links)
A dissertação focaliza as transformações do processo de trabalho da arquitetura, ao longo do século XX, detendo-se na análise da produção de duas obras que constituem referências culturais da cidade de São Paulo, analisadas a partir da maneira pela qual, nelas, o vidro ganhou forma: o Teatro Municipal de São Paulo (1903-1911) e o edifício do Museu de Arte de São Paulo (1957-1968). O Teatro Municipal, construído como teatro de ópera no início do século XX pelo escritório de Ramos de Azevedo, no centro da cidade, possui um conjunto de vitrais no corpo de entrada, parte deles importada da Alemanha, parte fabricada em São Paulo, aplicados em esquadrias fabricadas no Liceu de Artes e Ofícios de São Paulo. O Museu de Arte, MASP, cartão postal da cidade, de autoria da arquiteta Lina Bo Bardi, tem seu bloco principal fechado por grandes placas de vidro de seis metros de altura, as primeiras dessa medida fabricada no país, encaixilhadas em montantes metálicos fabricados também nas oficinas do Liceu de Artes e Ofícios de São Paulo. Através da análise de relatórios de obra, correspondências, fotografias e imprensa, em cada período, a pesquisa articula as transformações da produção da arquitetura e dos agentes envolvidos na concepção e construção do objeto arquitetônico, à luz dos processos de modernização da construção civil e do projeto de arquitetura em São Paulo. / This dissertation focuses on the changes in the labor processes in architecture throughout the twentieth century, circumscribing the analysis to the way glass was shaped on two referential buildings to the cultural history of São Paulo: the Teatro Municipal de São Paulo (1903-1911), and the building of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (1957-1968). The Teatro Municipal, built downtown as an opera theater in the beginning of the twentieth century by Ramos de Azevedo`s office, assembles VITRAIS on the entrance, built as much in Germany as in São Paulo, applied on frames produced in the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios de São Paulo. The main volume of Museu de Arte, MASP, the city\'s postal card, designed by the architect Lina Bo Bardi, is shut by big glass plates, measuring six meters high, the first of its size manufactured in Brazil, framed in metal structures also produced in the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios de São Paulo. Through the analysis of the construction\'s rep orts, and of mail, photographies and the press, in each period, our research articulates the changes of the architectural production and the agents involved in the conception and production of the architectural object, in light of the processes of modernization in construction and the architectural design in São Paulo.

Medieval art on display, 1750-2010Snape, Julia January 2013 (has links)
This thesis asks how the curatorial framing of medieval objects - the processes of selection, classification, display and interpretation - affect how medieval objects are made legible within the museum. It investigates how different collectors and curators have deployed medieval objects over a period of two hundred and fifty years of museological practice. Throughout this history, medieval objects have been appropriated within a range of museological narratives that have positioned them variously as objects of curiosity, utility, scientific analysis, nationalistic interest and as sites of scholarly and popular attention. My purpose is to inquire how the epistemological re-positioning of objects is articulated through their presentation within the framework of the collection, museum or temporary exhibition and to question how the mechanics of display facilitate particular readings of medieval objects. I then consider how certain curatorial approaches may produce unintended effects that render the medieval object illegible or problematic in unexpected ways. I also acknowledge that unforeseen exhibitionary outcomes may not be solely due to the effects of curatorial intervention but may be wrought by the agency of objects themselves. This thesis therefore examines medieval objects as active participants that play a crucial role in influencing the communication of curatorial objectives and in affecting how they may be apprehended through exhibitionary practice. The thesis examines sixteen chronologically presented case studies, beginning in the mid eighteenth century and concluding in the early twenty-first century, that represent important or influential episodes in the history of the display of medieval art. It traces a selective history of the various ways medieval objects have been culturally positioned at particular points in time to reveal how curatorial techniques have worked to reinforce or undermine the perception of medieval objects as carriers of specific meanings. Through the examination of historical approaches to the display of medieval objects I reveal how familiar tropes of display, such as the use of specific lighting techniques and stained glass have characterized the museological staging of medieval objects and how these have endured into the twenty-first century. Drawing on performance theory, material culture theory and sensory theory I identify how the biographical histories, material characteristics and sensory properties of medieval objects have been re-activated or suppressed by curators to encourage audiences to engage with them in specific ways. This theoretical approach reveals a previously unacknowledged sensory cultural history of engagement with the medieval object and highlights how historical approaches that have privileged embodied engagement with objects continue to inform contemporary museological practice. I also draw on Actor-Network theory to illuminate how medieval objects may be understood as active agents within the chain of correspondences that links people, objects and exhibitions at particular points throughout this history. In this way I delineate an exhibitionary landscape through which we can understand medieval objects as multi-authored and polysemic entities but principally as the products of exhibitionary practice.

« Mystères » et « joyeusetés » : les peintres de Lyon autour de 1500 / « Mysteres » and « joyeusetés » : painters of Lyons around 1500Levy, Tania 25 November 2013 (has links)
Esquisser le portrait de la commaunauté des peintres lyonnais, entre le début du règne de Louis XI (1461) et la crise de la fin des années 1520, a constitué le présupposé de cette recherche. Le recours aux sources (comptables, fiscales et ecclésiastiques) s’est révélé indispensable à l’étude prosopographique et à une démarche d’histoire sociale de l’art, permettant la localisation des peintres, de leurs ateliers, les quelques filiations, leur place enfin (fortune et position sociale) dans la cité. Mais au-delà de cette première approche, l’étude des commanditaires, personnages capitals de la production artistique, a permis de définir plus finement le visage de la pratique picturale lyonnaise. Entre notables, Consulat, ecclésiastiques et rois, les activités de commande dans la ville ont souligné l’absence de grands chantiers et de grandes commandes dans ces décennies de prospérité croissante. Ce sont donc les fêtes, au premier rang desquelles les entrées royales et solennelles, qui mobilisent les forces économiques, littéraires et évidemment artistiques. L’étude des protagonistes de ces cérémonies royales et urbaines comme des thèmes déployés permet de caractériser de façon plus précise l’articulation entre artistes, commanditaires et cité comme d’approfondir la connaissance sur la pratique des peintres, en effet mieux détaillée dans ce cadre. / To sketch the portrait of the painters’ community of Lyon, between the beginning of the reign of Louis XI (1461) and the crisis of the end of 1520s, was the presupposition of this research. The appeal to sources (accounts, taxes and from ecclesiastic origin) showed itself essential to the study of painters and to the approach of social history of the art, allowing the location of them, their workshops, the some filiations, their place finally (fortune and social position) in the city. But beyond this first approach, the study of the patrons, major characters of the artistic production, allowed to define more finely the face of the pictorial practice of Lyon. Between notables, consuls, Consulate, clerics and kings, the activities of command in the city underlined the absence of big construction sites and big orders in these decades of increasing prosperity. They are thus the festivals, in the front row of which the royal and solemn entries, which mobilize the economic, literary and obviously artistic strengths. The study of the protagonists of these royal and urban ceremonies as spread themes allows to characterize in a more precise way the articulation between artists, patrons and city as to deepen the knowledge on the practice of the painters, indeed better known by this way.
