The owner asked for this research because documentation on the painting was limited to a summary provenance of the object: just a few letters by painting experts. We decided to draw up a rigorous research plan. The first thing to do was to determine if we were dealing with a painting ‘from the period’. Once this had been confirmed, we decided how to proceed with our investigation into the maker of the painting. This book is the record of that ‘road to authentication.’ The goal of this publication, however, is not only to determine the authenticity of the painting as such, but also to document the many aspects that play a role in such an authentication. It is about interdisciplinary research. The small number of works on authentication that have been published are dominated either by the art historical or the technical approach. This publica- tion aims at breaking new ground by recording every aspect of the art historical, technical paint and material research. Several people have generously participated in the extensive research and this calls for a note of thanks for their willingness to share their knowledge and experience. Firstly we would like to thank the owners of the painting for their patience and support. Without their enthusiasm this project could not have been completed. We are indebted to Willem Russell for his particularly stimulating contribution to the method- ology of the process of authentication. The Technische Universiteit Delft played an important role by contributing brain- and manpower to parts of the technical analyses. The technical research conducted by Kris Krug was of particularly great significance for the conclusions of the authentication research. In this respect we also owe a debt of gratitude to the team lead by Alberto Bravin at the ESRF in Grenoble that gave us permission to use the medical beamline. We would like to thank the Department of Earth Sciences-FALW, Vrije Universiteit Amster- dam, for the preparation of polished oriented sections of paint chips. We owe a special debt of gratitude to Wynanda Koot. The Geotechnical Laboratory for Optical Microscopy, Electron Microscopy and Qualitative X-ray Analysis (EDS) was also very helpful. We would like to thank Alex den Ouden, Saskia Kars and Wim Lustenhouwer in particular. We would also like to thank Gareth R. Davies of the Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS) Laboratory for his contribution to our investigation. Our special thanks go out to Nicholas Eastaugh and Jilleen Nadolny. Our gratitude goes out to Pascal Cotte and Jean Penicaut of Lumière Technology for their contribution to the imaging of the painting. The archive research in Paris was very efficiently and thoroughly prepared by Eloise d’Argent. We would like to thank her and Monsieur Hermès and Madame Du Chantelle of the equestrian Museum Hermès in Paris. The museums that gave us permission to examine paintings by Édouard Manet were instru- mental in helping along our investigation. The American museums in particular were a para- gon of hospitality and openness. We thank Judith F. Dolkart and Marilyn Kushner at The Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York, Barbara Buckley at The Barnes Foundation in Merion, John Zarobell at the Phila- delphia Museum of Art and Inge Dupont at The Morgan Library in New York, Iris Schaefer, Caroline von Saint-George and KatYes Lewerentz at the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne 6 FOREWORD and Clotilde Roth-Meyer in Paris, as well as Bernard and Maria Hahnloser from the Hahnloser Collection in Bern and Rudolf Jäggli at the Kunsthalle in Bern. Thanks to Bonham’s auction house in London. Thanks to Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Our special thanks go out to the handwriting expert H. Hardy for examination of the hand- writing at Manets’ letters. We would also like to thank the curators and owners of several private collections. Our special thanks go out to Paul Durand-Ruel who received us with great hospitality and granted us access to his family’s private archives. His encouragements to pursue our investi- gation were heartwarming. Our special thanks go out to Rudi Ekkart, Nanne Dekking and Betsy Wieseman for the criti- cal reading and positive advise. We would like to thank Solange de Boer and Hanny Opheij for their editorial work on this publication and Walter van der Star for the translation. The iconography was handled expertly by Maarten Helle. Design, layout and printing were done by DeltaHage. Finally we would like to thank the transport firm Art Handling Service that succeeded in shipping the painting all over the world on time and in perfect condition. “We are fully aware that we trespassed into fields that belong to other specialists but we trust that they will forgive us.” Milko den Leeuw FOREWORD 7 Introduction Modern authentication research can be divided into three research schools: art historical research, technical paint analysis and technical material analysis. The art historian focuses on historical and visual analysis. The painterly aspects are investigated by the painting conserva- tor. Material analysis is based on scientific research which is carried out in various laboratories under the supervision of a conservation scientist. The fact that these three schools have been brought in an authentication project is actually no more than a ‘natural’ consequence of the genesis of a painting. Initially, the concept, the manual work and the materials exist as separate entities and they are subsequently combined to produce the work of art. Yet collaboration between the three disciplines has not always been a matter of course. In the 19th century, it was common practice within the discipline of art history to settle questions of authentication on the basis of individual authority. For generations a minority of ‘art experts’ determined the authenticity of works of art. It wasn’t until the 1930s that there was a call for collaboration which would involve not only art historians, but also experts from different techni- cal disciplines. Some scientists put the theory into practice and formed a more diversified team. By now history has learned that authentication isn’t ‘research based on authority’ and that the stacks of certificates this usually produced were in fact an open invitation to forgery. In the 21st century the technical possibilities for authentication research have substantially grown, but this hasn’t made the task of the art historian any easier.

  • Monet and American Impressionism
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resource Monet & Impressionism About the Artist Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840. He enjoyed drawing lessons in school and began making and selling caricatures at age seventeen. In 1858, he met landscape artist Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) who introduced him to plein-air (outdoor) painting. During the 1860s, only a few of Monet’s paintings were accepted for exhibition in the prestigious annual exhibitions known as the Salons. This rejection led him to join with other Claude Monet, 1899 artists to form an independent group, later known as the Impressionists. Photo by Nadar During the 1860s and 1870s, Monet developed his technique of using broken, rhythmic brushstrokes of pure color to represent atmosphere, light and visual effects while depicting his immediate surroundings in Paris and nearby villages. During the next decade, his fortune began to improve as a result of a growing base of support from art dealers and collectors, both in Europe and the United States. By the mid-1880s, his paintings began to receive critical “Everyone discusses my acclaim. art and pretends to understand, as if it were By 1890, Monet was financially secure enough to purchase a house in Giverny, a rural town in Normandy. During these later years, Monet began painting the same subject over and over necessary to understand, again at different times of the day or year. These series paintings became some of his most when it is simply famous works and include views of the Siene River, the Thames River in London, Rouen necessary to love.” Cathedral, oat fields, haystacks and water lilies.

Lewis PAGES: 86 The literature of Ernest Hemingway is rich with military lessons derived from his lifetime of proximity to war and his understanding of soldiers and leaders at all levels as presented through his characters. Hemingway wrote two significant military works that treat deeply the psyche and behavior of soldiers in war: For Whom the Bell Tolls presented a guerilla band led by an American professor named Robert Jordan, and exposed the different types of junior and senior leaders, as well as an ideal soldier in Anselmo, the old, untrained partisan. Across the River and Into the Trees was equally rich in military insights, at a much higher level of command, through the bitter musings of Colonel Cantwell. Hemingway’s fiction represented and reproduced the detailed awareness he had of soldiers and leaders, good and bad. He was born with the natural instinct to lead, and through his proximity to men performing humanity’s most vaunted of tests, he produced a body of fiction that can serve collectively as a manual for understanding soldiers, terrain, and military

    A guide for holders of the International Association of Art card Prepared with contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská výtvarná únia) 2017 The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) is a non-governmental organization working in official partnership with UNESCO. Its objectives are to stimulate international cooperation among visual artists of all countries, nations or peoples, to improve the socio-economic position of artists nationally and internationally, and to defend their material and moral rights. The IAA issues identity cards to professional visual artists. This card allows free or discounted admission to many galleries and museums in countries around the world. The card is a tool for the lifelong education of artists in their professional artistic research. These institutions, large or small, recognize the benefit they gain from enabling the artists, like art critics and journalists, to visit exhibitions, art events and collections of art, to carry on research, and to gain inspiration. As a member within the IAA network, CARFAC National issues IAA cards exclusively to Canadian professional artists that are members of CARFAC upon request. Only National Committees of the IAA may issue the card. Where to use the IAA card This document includes a chart detailing selected institutions that offer free or discounted admission prices, or other perks to IAA card holders while travelling abroad. This information was obtained from surveying recent users of the card and IAA National Committees worldwide, and is updated regularly – most recently in 2017 by the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (SUVA). Users will find that different areas in Europe are more receptive to the card than others.

    220 Chapter II REPARATION FOR INJURY Commentary Chapter II deals with the forms of reparation for injury, spelling out in further detail the general principle stated in article 31, and in particular seeking to establish more clearly the relations between the different forms of reparation, viz restitution, compensation and satisfaction, as well as the role of interest and the question of taking into account any con- tribution to the injury which may have been made by the victim 221 Article 34. Forms of reparation Full reparation for the injury caused by the internationally wrongful act shall take the form of restitution, compensation and satisfaction, either singly or in combination, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Commentary (1) Article 34 introduces chapter II by setting out the forms of reparation which separately or in combination will discharge the obligation to make full reparation for the injury caused by the internationally wrongful act Since the notion of “injury” and the necessary causal link between the wrongful act and the injury are defined in the statement of the general obligation to make full reparation in article 31,[692] 485 article 34 need do no more than refer to “[f]ull reparation for the injury caused” (2) In the Factory at Chorzów case, the injury was a material one and PCIJ dealt only with two forms of reparation, restitution and compensation [693] 486 In certain cases, satisfac- tion may be called for as an additional form of reparation Thus, full reparation may take the form of restitution, compensation

  • Political Imagination in German Romanticism John Thomas Gill
    Wild Politics : Political Imagination in German Romanticism John Thomas Gill A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Gabriel Trop Eric Downing Stefani Engelstein Jakob Norberg Aleksandra Prica i © 2020 John Thomas Gill ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John Gill: Wild Politics : Political Imagination in German Romanticism (Under the direction of Gabriel Trop) The political discourse of German Romanticism is often interpreted reductively: as either entirely revolutionary, reactionary, or indeed apolitical in nature. Breaking with this critical tradition, this dissertation offers a new conceptual framework for political Romanticism called wild politics . I argue that Romantic wild politics generates a sense of possibility that calls into question pragmatic forms of implementing sociopolitical change; it envisions imaginative alternatives to the status quo that exceed the purview of conventional political thinking. Three major fields of the Romantic political imaginary organize this reading: affect, nature, and religion. Chapter 1 examines Novalis’ politics of affect. In his theory of the fairy tale—as opposed to the actual fairy tales he writes—Novalis proposes a political paradigm centered on the aesthetic dimension of love. He imagines a new Prussian state constituted by emotional attachments between the citizen and the monarch. Chapter 2 takes up the “new mythology” in the works of F.W.J. Schelling, Friedrich Schlegel, and Johann Wilhelm Ritter, the comprehensive project of reorienting modern life towards its most transformative potentials.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

  • Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002
    Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.
