With each volume devoted to a particular critic, country or region outside North America or Western Europe during a delimited historical period, these anthologies offer archival sources–– such as manifestos, artists’ writings, correspondence, and criticism––in English translation, often for the first time. Newly commissioned contextual essays by experts in the field make these materials accessible to non-specialist readers, thereby providing the critical tools needed for building a geographically inclusive understanding of modern art and its histories. Some of the volumes in the Primary Documents series are now available online, free-of-charge. © 2018 The Museum of Modern Art 2 \ Mário Pedrosa Primary Documents Edited by Glória Ferreira and Paulo Herkenhoff Translation by Stephen Berg The Museum of Modern Art, New York Leadership support for Mário Pedrosa: Copyright credits for certain illustrations Primary Documents was provided and texts are cited on p. 463. by The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art.

  • Recent Acquisitions: a Rare Work by Jacobus Tevius Barry Taylor
    Recent Acquisitions: a Rare Work by Jacobus Tevius Barry Taylor The British Library has recently had the good fortune to buy a rare work by a major figure in Portuguese Renaissance Humanism. Its description is as follows: Iacobi Tevii Lusitani. Epodon siue Ia(m)bicorum carminum libri tres [...] Ad Sebastianum primum, inuictissimum Lusitaniæ Regem (Lisbon: Francisco Correia, 1565) 12º. [6], 171 [sic for 160], [2], 66 leaves.1 British Library pressmark: RB.23.a.23815 The work is divided into three books: 1. Sententiarum vtilium quidem omnibus hominibus, sed regibus ac rerum moderatoribus præcipue, quibus addita est boni principis institutio. 2. Hymnorum ad Iesum Christum & ad diuos huiusce regni patronos pro Regis salute & rerum felicissimo statu. 3. De perfecto Episcopo & alia opuscula ad Henricum Serenissimum principem, cardinalemque illustrissimum regnique moderatorem sapientissimum. The author, Diogo de Teive, wrote only under the Latin form of his name, Jacobus Te vius.2 He was born in Braga between 1513 and 1515, and died between 1565 and 1579, probably in Lisbon. His career displays both the glory of Portuguese Humanism and its decline under the Inquisition. Like many a scholar of his generation,Tevius was a traveller, a situation aided by the international currency of Latin. From the age of twelve he studied at the Collège de Sainte-Barbe in Paris, under a Portuguese mentor, Diogo de Gouveia Senior. From 1532 to 1534 he taught at Salamanca. Finding the Spanish university town did not provide him with the peace and quiet necessary for study, he returned to France, studying law at Toulouse and teaching at Bordeaux, where he held a chair in Humanities.

  • The Convent of Christ and the Renaissance Culture in Tomar
    Tomar Summer School !Convent of Christ, Tomar, Portugal !June 27th to July 09th, 2016 The Convent of Christ and the Renaissance culture in Tomar This project involves the critical observation of the various spaces materialized in the Convent of Christ for centuries but whose higher definition occurs in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Through the analysis of pictorial and sculptural practices, and all the records implanted in the consecration of this "ideal city", as the church, 8 cloisters that still survive, the dormitories, the amazing cloaca or, later, the great new infirmary, students will also be able to understand the political, cultural and aesthetic program that gives voice to the ideological pressures exerted on Portugal in a long duration. 1 During two weeks, the students will take physical contact with the built structures, in an ongoing challenge of intelligibility, but will also be called to an exhibition planning from the sculptural collection kept in the convent. From this experience, able to encourage the musealization of the Convent reserves, will gain meaning another consistency in approach to formal issues of Renaissance sculpture in Portugal. It will thus constitute a formal research laboratory in intimate relationship with the sculptural component present in the Convent of Christ. The perception of this plastic culture is not restricted to the building area. It is necessary to extend the analysis to other artistic disciplines as well as to a whole alternative structure that the Convent also permits: the inclosure spaces deserve special attention because they also integrate, in a scale that has grown over time, the specific records of the convent daily life.

A statement so sweeping needs to be qualified, of course, and it is the aim of the present text to do just that.

  • Welcome to Rio, Casa Roberto Marinho!
    © art2p2.com Welcome to Rio, Casa Roberto Marinho! by Marta Inez Rodrigues Pereira The house of media mogul Roberto Marinho1 opened to the public in the end of April and will be home to his art collection. Made up mostly of works from Brazilian artists of his time, the collection will be the basis for programmes for educators and guided visits for the general public. View from inside the piano room (all photos by me) The house in Cosme Velho, Rio de Janeiro, borders Floresta da Tijuca which is part of Parque Nacional da Tijuca, the world’s greatest urban forest. It was home to many famous parties, hosting both Brazilian and foreign political and artistic high society. 1 Roberto Marinho (1904-2003) was owner of Grupo Globo and one of the most powerful and influential men in 20th Century Brazil. Page 1 of 7 © art2p2.com Left: View from the garden into the piano room; Right: View from the corridor into the piano room Now on show are works from the 10 most important modern artists in the collection, viz. Tarsila do Amaral, Lasar Segall, Candido Portinari, José Pancetti, Ismael Nery, Alberto da Veiga Guignard, Djanira da Mota e Silva, Di Cavalcanti, Milton Dacosta and Roberto Burle Marx.

    SOBRE UMA NÃO-TRADUÇÃO E ALGUMAS TRADUÇÕES DE “L’INVITATION AU VOYAGE” DE BAUDELAIRE Álvaro Faleiros Je sais l’art d’évoquer les minutes heureuses! Charles Baudelaire Sobre uma não-tradução de “L’invitation au voyage” Vera de Azambuja Harvey, no artigo “Tradução e transcria- ção em Os gansos selvagens de Bassan”, romance da escritora e poeta quebequense Anne Hébert, comenta que dentre os problemas de tradução com que se deparou ao longo da tradução, um dos mais “interessantes” foi o da intertextualidade. E o problema de inter- textualidade mais complexo foi a tradução do seguinte fragmento do poema “L’invitation au voyage”: Tout y parlerait À l’âme en secret Sa douce langue natale. * (HARVEY, Vera Azambuja. “Tradução e transcriação Vera Harvey comenta que, no romance de Hébert, “a forma em Os gansos selvagens de em verso não foi preservada e foi necessária uma leitura atenta pa- Bassan”, Cadernos do CEF * no 3, Niterói, Centro de Es- ra detectar esse recurso” na obra da autora quebequense.

Na verdade, a associação feita foi entre “L’âme en secret/ sa douce langue natale” e “as harmonias/ do meu berço natal”.

  • Latin America
    Latin America Argentina A,.FTE, R TWO and a half years of General Juan Carlos Ongania's revolutionary government, Argentina's economic, social, and political prob- lems remained far from solved. The June 1966 revolution abolished constitu- tional rights; dissolved political parties; modified the federal system; ended the independence of the judiciary system and the autonomy of the national universities, and established government by decree of the "Statute and Aims of the Revolution.' From the start, its leaders proclaimed that the fulfillment of their aims would take several years, and that, until such time, no democratic elections could be held. Yet, Ongania told the military leaders in May 1968 that the government was heading toward representative democracy, not a corporate state. Opposition to the government, mainly by past leaders of the banned political parties, was strong because liberals feared that "its anti-democratic tendency was leading it towards a nationalist philosophy and even a corporate state." The issue of elections was particularly complicated since even those urging a democratic process felt that, politically, the country was not ready for it. And this because internal struggles divided and considerably weakened the banned parties. In June ex-President Arturo Frondizi told the Foreign Press Association that the revolution would terminate either in a personal dictatorship or in premature elections. In a state-of-the-nation address, in July, President Ongania outlined the course of the revolution: The primary or reconstruction stage would be completed at the end of 1968 or early in 1969, to be followed by social reconstruction. Decentralization of the federal government would continue to permit greater autonomy of the provinces; the economy was to be geared to serve the nation.
