  • Context Històric I Social: 1.1
    LA DONA: "SUBJECTE" i "OBJECTE" DE L'OBRA D'ART. ANNEX I. 1.- Context històric i social: A la segona meitat del segle XIX, als països occidentals, es va portat a terme la consolidació dels moviments obrers: sindicats i partits polítics funcionaven per arreu. El 1873 es va produir una forta depressió econòmica que va durar aproximadament uns 10 anys i que va afectar les formes de vida i les pautes de conducta social. A la vegada va entrar en crisi la concepció positivista del món dominant fins aleshores. Fou una època en la qual el fet de ser dona havia de ser difícil. La burgesia havia agafat molta força i amb ella la institució matrimonial, perquè garantia hereus legítims als quals s’havia de deixar tot allò que el matrimoni havia acumulat. Per aquests motius la societat es guiava per rígits i severs codis sexuals patits sobretot per la dona. Els matrimonis ben poques vegades eren encara per amor, però això sí, la dona havia de ser totalment fidel. Amb el desenvolupament industrial i el creixement de la burgesia, s’havien portat ja a la pràctica els ideals dels il.lustrats. Tots els canvis econòmics i socials que es van produir a la primera meitat del segle van conduir a l’establiment d’una forma ritual-simbòlica del paper de la dona a la nova societat industrial. Fou llavors quan es separaren definitivament els dos móns: el món privat de la llar, de la familia, i el món públic, de la societat. La dona va quedar reclüida definitivament en el primer i totalment exclosa del segon, reservat únicament i exclussivament per als homes.

From the information available, we know that the painting was retouched for Salvador Dalí's first individual exhibition at the Dalmau Galleries in Barcelona.

  • NYU Madrid ARTH-UA.9417 Art and Social Movements in Spain 1888- 1939
    NYU Madrid ARTH-UA.9417 Art and Social Movements in Spain 1888- 1939 Instructor Information ● Name: Julia Doménech ● Office hours: Tuesdays: 7.30-8.30pm ● Email address: [email protected] Course Description This survey examines the major artists and institutions that shaped the development of modern art in Spain from 1888, the date of Barcelona's Universal Exposition, to the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The course takes as its working model the complex question of art's relation to social movements, including: the rising tides of cultural and political nationalism in the Basque and Catalan regions; the Colonial Disaster of 1898 and the question of national regeneration; the impact of fin-del-siglo anarchist and workers’ movements; the rise of authoritarian politics with the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera; and the ideological struggles and social violence unleashed during the Spanish Civil War. Class sessions examine the complex roles played by some of Spain's most prominent artists and architects -- Antoni Gaudí, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Luis Buñuel, Josep Lluís Sert, and Salvador Dalí -- and their multivalent responses to modernization, political instability, and social praxis. ● Co-requisite or prerequisite: N/A ● Class meeting days and times: Tuesdays 4.30-7.20 pm Desired Outcomes Upon Completion of this Course, students will be able to: ● Providing students with a working knowledge of the development of modern art in Spain. Page 1 ● Exploring the complex and highly mediated relations that obtain between art and politics in relation to both progressive and conservative/reactionary social movements.

Migrations, Transfers, and Resemantization From Foix to Dalí: Versions of Catalan Surrealism between Barcelona and Paris Enric Bou * Università Ca' Foscari Venezia Abstract This article illustrates a little known episode of Salvador Dalí’s initial intervention in the surrealist movement: his relationship with Catalan writer Josep Vicenç Foix. He made an impact in Catalan literary circles as one of the first imitators of Apollinaire (and Breton). Foix helped Dalí with the publication of his first texts. Close reading of surrealist texts by Foix and Dalí provide an illustration of the limitations of Catalan Surrealism. Foix and Dalí accomplished a dynamic process capable of transforming and reconfiguring the meaning and function of surrealist aesthetics in Catalonia in a complex network and context.

  • Kobro Ing.Pdf
    KATARZYNA KOBRO & WŁADYSŁAW STRZE MIŃ KOBRO STRZEAVANT-GARDE PROTOTYPES ŃSKI atarzyna Kobro (1898–1951) and Władysław Strzemiński (1893–1952) are among the silent protagonists of the Eu- ropean avant-gardes, to which they contributed by both fostering and questioning the legacy of modernism with a plastic and theoretical oeuvre that was as fertile as it was Kcomplex. Dedicated to experimentation on pure forms—Kobro funda- mentally in sculpture and Strzemiński in painting—and closely related to international artistic movements like the Bauhaus, neoplasticism and constructivism, their work is pivotal for an understanding of abstract art in the Central Europe of the first decades of the twentieth century. The Museo Reina Sofía presents a retrospective on their work made up of drawings, paintings, collages, sculptures and designs ranging from the typographical arrangement of a poem to furnishing concepts or the projection of architectural spaces. With exhibits dating from the early 1920s to the late 1940s, the show functions as an exegesis of their heterogeneous production through a description of the artistic transi- tions that marked their careers. Clearly influenced at first by such great avant-garde figureheads as Tatlin, Rodchenko and Malevich, their work moves on to their unist creations, their great contribution. Unism was abandoned with the arrival of the economic crisis, and after a period dedicated to an art they classed as “recreational” and, simultaneously, to the practice of functionalism, Kobro and Strzemiński took different paths. At the end of the Second World War, she made sculptures of nudes close to cubism, while he started to sketch out a realist theory ver- tebrated by works where afterimages live side by side with abstraction.

  • Un Académico Frente Al Arte Femenino: José Francés Y El Año Artístico (1915-1926)
    UN ACADÉMICO FRENTE AL ARTE FEMENINO: JOSÉ FRANCÉS Y EL AÑO ARTÍSTICO (1915-1926) ISABEL RODRIGO VILLENA Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha Resumen El crítico de arte y miembro de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, José Francés, también conocido como Silvio Lago, escribió durante 11 años consecutivos El Año Artístico, un resumen anual de los acontecimientos artísticos españoles acaecidos entre 1915 y 1926, que llegó a ser declarada de utilidad pública en 1924 y traducida a varios idiomas. En esta obra casi enciclopédica, el crítico nombró a 175 mujeres artistas activas en España durante el período señalado, aunque sólo escribió ensayos críticos sobre 14 de ellas.

  • Press Release Dalí. All of the Poetic Suggestions and All of the Plastic
    Dalí. All of the poetic suggestions and all of the plastic possibilities DATES: April 27 – September 2, 2013 PLACE: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid) Sabatini Building. 3rd floor. ORGANIZED BY: Museo Reina Sofía and Centre Pompidou, Paris, in collaboration with the Salvador Dalí Museum Saint Petersburg (Florida). With the special collaboration of the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres. CHIEF CURATOR: Jean-Hubert Martin CURATORS: Montse Aguer (exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid), Jean-Michel Bouhours and Thierry Dufrêne COORDINATOR: Aurora Rabanal The Museo Reina Sofía presents a major exhibition dedicated to Salvador Dalí, one of the most comprehensive shows yet held on the artist from Ampurdán. Gathered together on this unique occasion are more than 200 works from leading institutions, private collections, and the three principal repositories of Salvador Dalí’s work, the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí (Figueres), the Salvador Dalí Museum of St. Petersburg (Florida), and the Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid), which in this way are joining forces to show the public the best of their collections. The exhibition, a great success with the public when shown recently at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, aims to revalue Dalí as a thinker, writer and creator of a peculiar vision of the world. One exceptional feature is the presence of loans from leading institutions like the MoMA (New York), which is making available the significant work The Persistence of Memory (1931); the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is lending Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War) (1936); the Tate Modern, whose contribution is Metamorphosis of Narcissus (1937); and the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Belgium, the lender of The Temptation of St Anthony (1946).
