  • “Summonses to Awareness:” a Meditation Upon Wisdom and Artful Inquiry
    “Summonses to Awareness:” A Meditation upon Wisdom and Artful Inquiry By Giovanni Antonio Rossini A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Giovanni Antonio Rossini (2018) “Summonses to Awareness:” A Meditation upon Wisdom and Artful Inquiry Giovanni Antonio Rossini Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract In his writings Thomas Merton ponders the relation of contemplative experience and the arts within a meditation upon the spiritual life; one whose seminal character is “a life of wisdom” (Merton, 1972, p.141). With Merton as a guide post, my inquiry explores whether the kinship of wisdom and spirituality with the aesthetical, which is offered in his writings, can be extended to reinforce a relation of wisdom and artful inquiry. While the inquiry into the relation of the art and wisdom is informed by the discourse of wisdom studies (Curnow, 2015; Baltas, 2004; Walsh, 2015) it also departs from it by pondering wisdom not in relation to the text, but to the artful. Such different alignment in turn underscored by the question: While we speak of texts that are wise can we, in kindred spirit, speak of art that is wise? The exploring of such question departs from rational and empirical methodologies and instead is nested within a contemplative approach (Hart, 2004; Miller, 2006; Palmer, 1993; Zajonc, 2006); one which immerses inquiry within the life of the researcher and embraces strategies for research which are seeded by an aesthetical presence.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76140-6 - Michelangelo and the Art of Letter Writing Deborah Parker Frontmatter More information MICHELANGELO AND THE ART OF LETTER WRITING Michelangelo’s extant correspondence is the most abundant of any artist. Span- ning sixty-seven years, it comprises roughly 1,400 letters, of which Michelangelo himself wrote 500. Biographers and art historians have combed the letters for insight into Michelangelo’s views on art, his contractual obligations, and his relationships. Literary scholars have explored parallels between the letters and Michelangelo’s poetry. Nevertheless, this is the first book to study the letters for their intrinsically literary qualities. In this volume, Deborah Parker examines Michelangelo’s use of language as a means of understanding the creative process of this extraordinary artist. His letters often revel in witticisms, rhetorical flour- ishes, and linguistic ingenuity. Close study of his mastery of words and modes of self-presentation shows Michelangelo to be a consummate artist who deploys the resources of language to considerable effect. Deborah Parker is Professor of Italian at the University of Virginia. She has been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Villa I Tatti– the Harvard Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, and numerous others. She is the author of many articles; her most recent book is Bronzino: Renaissance Painter as Poet (Cambridge University Press, 2000). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University

  • Moses (Michelangelo) 1 Moses (Michelangelo)
    Moses (Michelangelo) 1 Moses (Michelangelo) Moses Artist Michelangelo [1] Year c. 1513 – 1515 Type Marble Dimensions 235 cm (92.5 in) Location San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome The Moses (c. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. Commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb, it depicts the Biblical figure Moses with horns on his head, based on a description in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time. Description The marble sculpture depicts Moses with horns on his head. This was the normal medieval Western depiction of Moses, based on the description of Moses' face as "cornuta" ("horned") in the Latin Vulgate translation of Exodus.[2] The Douay-Rheims Bible translates the Vulgate as, "And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord."[3] The Greek in the Septuagint translates as, "Moses knew not that the appearance of the skin of his face was glorified."[4] The Hebrew Masoretic text also uses words equivalent to "radiant",[5] suggesting an effect like a halo. Horns were symbolic of authority in ancient Near Eastern culture, and the medieval depiction had the advantage of giving Moses a convenient attribute by which he could easily be recognized in crowded pictures. According to Giorgio Vasari in his Life of Michelangelo, the Jews of Rome came like "flocks of starlings" to admire the statue every Shabat.

Credulous Spectatorship from Zeuxis to Barthes by Carrie Robbins October 2013 Submitted to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract This dissertation explores intersections between trompe l'oeil painting and photography. It began as an interest in contemporary photographers, such as Thomas Demand, whose photographs of constructed paper models encourage viewers to discover the nature of his interventions. His strategy resonates with a centuries-old strategy in trompe l'oeil painting, but now in the terms of photographic, rather than pictorial presence. That is, most of Demand's photographs do not compel the viewer's belief in the tangible presence of the object represented; instead, they exploit photography's indexical promise of delivering the world as it once appeared, in order to temporarily trick viewers about the terms of that indexical delivery. Beyond intersections in artistic strategies, I track reception accounts of trompe l'oeil painting and photography for their reliance on a credulous spectator. Pliny's Zeuxis, who is tricked by Parrhasius's painting of a curtain, remains the model for this errant credulity.

  • Awakening Yet Prisoner – George Steiner: Real Presences Translated by Marta López‐Luaces, Mercedes Roffé, Edwin Lamboy
    Alfonso Masó Michelangelo: Awakening Yet Prisoner ALFONSO MASÓ Michelangelo Buonarroti: Awakening Yet Prisoner – George Steiner: Real Presences Translated by Marta López‐Luaces, Mercedes Roffé, Edwin Lamboy In the speculative intuitions of the aesthetic, the motions of spirit are not those of an arrow, but of the the spiral at once ascendant and retrogressive, as is the stairway in the library of Montaigne. (George Steiner) 1 All art keeps hidden within a whole bazaar of that which cannot be taken for granted, after feeling the attraction to a form and a narrative that exempt us, if that is what we want, from going further. 1. Francis Bacon, Figure With Meat, 1954. Michelangelo Buonarroti, Awakening (between 1513 and 1536) 1 Alfonso Masó Michelangelo: Awakening Yet Prisoner Every creative process implies a projection, a transferring onto the matter of the person who leads it . not trying to hide but to bare, beyond the visible flesh, the lives, the buried faces, presences probably unthought‐of by both himself and others; amplified, probably only partially softened, travestied, transsexualized, transubstantiated in a theatre of the world where it is possible to show oneself under the appearance of enlivened signs and objects. Michelangelo discovered too many things about sculpture to be understood by his contemporaries. From there on, nothing is easier for the observer than making other people’s excuses his or her own, categories such as “perfection” or “the appropriate,” unknown to the standards of the artist’s times and even to his own intentions and possibilities, shackled by centuries of incomprehension; celebrated even for his biggest and most superficial sculpture, the David, a work of youth and dissatisfaction, too much wrapping for such little content, such little life, such little contact with the world.
