IGNACIO ZULOAGA and the PROBLEM of SPAIN Dena ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: IGNACIO ZULOAGA AND THE PROBLEM OF SPAIN Dena Crosson, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Professor June Hargrove Department of Art History and Archeology This dissertation examines the career of Ignacio Zuloaga (1870-1945), a highly successful and influential artist during his lifetime, in the context of nationalism and the political and cultural conditions that informed his artistic persona. Positioning himself to both Spanish and foreign audiences as the “painter of Spain,” his style and subject matter simultaneously exploited foreign preconceptions about Spain while serving as a lightning rod for the critical nationalist discourse preoccupying Spanish political and cultural leaders during the first decades of the twentieth century. In the 1910s and 1920s the vernacular nationalism he practiced was not opposed to modernism. But by the 1930s, nationalism had become associated with rising fascist movements both in Europe and in Spain. Through a series of case studies this dissertation problematizes the issue of modernism in art and fills an important gap in the study of the critical role of nationalism for the struggle between tradition and modernity in the arts in early twentieth-century Spain. Chapter One examines Zuloaga’s influence in France through his affiliation with a group of French artists known as La Bande Noire and describes his important contribution to the rediscovery of El Greco in the last years of the nineteenth century. Chapter Two explores Zuloaga’s discovery of the province of Castilla in 1898 as a subject for his work. It charts the significance of Castilla for the nationalist project of the Generation of 98 as well as for the regenerationist Institución Libre de Enseñanza (Free Institute of Learning). Chapter Three maps the growing links between Zuloaga and traditionalist and fascist ideologies, both in France and in Spain, in the 1910s and 1920s. Chapter Four investigates Zuloaga’s career both in the context of the foundation and fall of Spain’s Second Republic (1931-1939) and the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath. Zuloaga’s career provides a significant case study for the gradual alignment, of what became traditionalism, with right-wing political ideology, an alignment by no means necessarily apparent before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936.

The show of 52 paintings drew thousands of visitors and glowing reviews during its month-long run. 1 Zuloaga was fêted at a gala dinner hosted by the Spanish ambassador and met President Calvin Coolidge at the White House. He was no stranger to such success. Zuloaga was a Basque-born painter with little academic training celebrated in Europe and the Americas for his vivid images of Andalusían themes such as bullfighters and gypsies, as well as for his dark depictions of still-backward rural Spain. His style and subject matter simultaneously exploited foreign preconceptions about Spain while serving as a lightning rod for the critical nationalist discourse preoccupying Spanish political and cultural leaders during the first decades of the twentieth century. Zuloaga’s life was punctuated by a series of enormous political upheavals. The defeat in the 1898 Spanish American War was a shattering event that engendered rising nationalist and separatist movements in Spain during the first years of the twentieth century. The response of Spain’s small intelligentsia to the loss of that nation’s last colonies was an effort at self-examination in an attempt to define the Spanish nation and spanishness itself ( hispanidad ) as a means of bringing regeneration and cultural cohesiveness to a highly disordered, fractured nation. Zuloaga’s self-identification as “the 1 Enrique Lafuente Ferrari, The Life and Work of Ignacio Zuloaga , 3 rd edition, (Madrid: Planeta, 1972/1991) 337-339. Philip MacMahon, “Some Aspects of Ignacio Zuloaga,” Art Bulletin , 7, 1925, 117. “The applause [for the exhibition]…continued….when 75,000 people visited the galleries at Fifth Avenue and 57 th Street.” - 1 - painter of Spain” was a deliberate strategy that placed him squarely within this debate as to the nature, quality and condition of the Spanish nation. He was affiliated by friendship with members of the Generation of 98, a group of writers and poets, who advocated a romantic idealization of the Spanish landscape and character, based on inward, nostalgic celebrations of Spain’s Golden Age. The 98ers, while liberal in their thinking, did not advocate any specific political program.

  • The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson
    The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson Part II: Rare Illustrated Books and Print Portfolios, ca. 1850-1930 405 titles, in ca. 585 physical volumes The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson Part I: Art of France from the French Revolution to the End of the Third Republic, 1790-1940. General Reference Works and Monographs on Artists, with a special emphasis on prints and printmaking The art historian and art dealer Eric G. Carlson (1940-2016) was a noted specialist in French and American prints and drawings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A mediaevalist by training (Ph.D. Yale University), and professor at the State University of New York at Purchase from 1978 to 2006, Carlson brought a scholar's acumen to his exploration of lesser-known fields and figures of French art. His library reflects this, being exceptionally rich not just on the major artists of the era, but on the many painters and printmakers who remain to this day little known to the general public. Its coverage of the art of Romanticism, Realism, and Post-Impressionism, with very impressive concentrations on Géricault, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas and Gauguin, among others, is matched by a fascinating depth in the Symbolist and Nabi movements and the School of Pont-Aven, and the myriad Academic and Salon artists, illustrators and caricaturists who flourished between the start of the Second Empire and the end of the Third Republic. The library is unusually complete and sophisticated in the documentation and critical study of all aspects of the period, with rare exhibition and auction catalogues, and scarce early monographs, as well as the latest academic scholarship.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The object of this thesis is to explore Pardo Bazan's approach to travel as an aesthetically rewarding experience and also as a soul-searching exercise in which she voices her opinions and concerns with regard to the state of late nineteenth-century Spain and compares it to some other European countries. Indeed, in the Galician author's chronicles, which reveal her versatility and multifaceted interests as a travel writer, the journey itself takes second place to cultural, social, political, artistic, religious, and intellectual considerations. Another aspect of Pardo Bazan's travel works that this study will develop is her uneasy stance with regard to progress, technological advancement, and modern civilization, as illustrated, principally, in her foreign chronicles. For it is her apprehension and at times aversion to modern technology that place her in an anachronistic position in relation to some of the events and places covered in her travel accounts.

    THE MULATA AFFECT: BIOREMEDIATION IN THE CUBAN ARTS by Stephen A. Cruikshank A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in SPANISH AND LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta © Stephen A. Cruikshank, 2018 ii Abstract The "mulata affect" may be understood as the repetitive process and movement of power and affect qualified in the mulata image over time. Through a lens of affect theory this study seeks to analyse how the mulata image in Cuba has historically been affected by, and likewise affected, cultural expressions and artistic representations. Relying on a theory of "bioremediation" this study proposes that the racialized body of the mulata, which is remediated through artistic images, consistently holds the potential to affect both national and exotic interpretations of her body and of Cuban culture. Four different artistic expressions of the mulata image are discussed. Beginning in the early twentieth century various artistic mediums are explored in the contexts of the mulata in the paintings of Carlos Enríquez's and the rumbera [rumba dancer] in the graphic illustrations of Conrado Massaguer. In addition, images of the miliciana [the militant woman] in the photography of Alberto Korda following the onset of Cuban Revolution and the jinetera [the sex-worker] in Daniel Díaz Torres film La película de Ana (2012) are discussed. Through an analysis of these four different expressions of the mulata body, this study seeks to expose a genealogy of the mulata image in art and, in doing so, reveal the ongoing visual changes and affective workings of the racialized female body that has contributed to the designations of Cuban culture and identity over time.

  • Toulouse-Lautrec and Anti-Semitism in Fin-De-Siècle Paris
    Toulouse-Lautrec and anti-Semitism in fin-de-siècle Paris Essay by Louis Dzialo In 1892, a salacious dime-novel hit the shelves in Paris. Victor Joze’s Reine de joie, moeurs du demi-monde (Queen of Joy, The World of Easy Virtue) tells the story of Alice Lamy, an enterprising Parisian courtesan, and her depraved relationship with a fictitious Jewish financier, Baron de Rozenfeld. Toulouse-Lautrec’s poster that advertised the novel depicts the novel’s moment of high-comedy. Prior to this scene, Baron de Rozenfeld has struck a deal to engage in an illicit relationship with Alice for a tremendous sum of money, plus a fully furnished townhouse in the fashionable Bois du Boulogne. Upon realizing what the Baron has offered her “[Alice] rises suddenly, embraces the Baron with her bare arms, and as her lips slide towards the old man’s mouth, she encounters an obstacle in the form of his large hooked Semitic nose and there she plants her kiss.”1 Though Toulouse-Lautrec’s poster advertising Reine de Joie (Figure 1) remains true to elements of this scene, it is not without the artist’s own creative embellishments. Joze describes Rozenfeld as “an aging Semitic type…an impassive figure of a man who knows his power.”2 Toulouse-Lautrec alters the Baron, depicting a “a short, overweight, sunken figure of a man who indulges in what money can buy and whose own passive body language does not suggest a consciousness of his own power.”3 His Baron is a grotesque blob of a man, his sordid character reiterated in Lautrec’s (ambiguous) suggestion that he gropes Alice’s breast with his right hand.

  • Myth-Making and the Historical Imagination: an Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature
    Myth-making and the Historical Imagination: An Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature Gaston Jean-Xavier Arze Springfield, Virginia BA English, University of Virginia, 2017 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2018 Dr. Ahmed H. al-Rahim Dr. E. Michael Gerli 2 1. Introduction A historical narrative is thus necessarily a mixture of adequately and inadequately explained events, a congeries of established and inferred facts, at once a representation that is an interpretation and an interpretation that passes for an explanation of the whole process mirrored in the narrative. Hayden White, Tropics of Discourse (1978). The history of Islam in Spain is a deeply contested historical narrative, whose interpretation has significant implications for Spain’s perception of its national identity, as well as its historical memory, and modern political discourse. The rejection of Islamic Iberia plays an important role in the modern understanding of the nascence of the Spanish state. This is because, the history of medieval Iberia is largely framed as an 800-year struggle for independence from invading Muslims. This historical narrative is obviously at odds with the historical presence of the religion of Islam, the irrefutable linguistic contact between Arabic and Peninsular Romance, and the role of Arabic and Arabic sources in Iberia’s rich literary history. The aforementioned interpretation of the history of the Iberian Peninsula also rejects the influence that Islam played in the creation of identities unique to the peninsula: namely, the Mudéjars, the Moriscos and the Mozarabs.
