  • Correlations Between Creativity In
    1 ARTISTIC SCIENTISTS AND SCIENTIFIC ARTISTS: THE LINK BETWEEN POLYMATHY AND CREATIVITY ROBERT AND MICHELE ROOT-BERNSTEIN, 517-336-8444; [email protected] [Near final draft for Root-Bernstein, Robert and Root-Bernstein, Michele. (2004). “Artistic Scientists and Scientific Artists: The Link Between Polymathy and Creativity,” in Robert Sternberg, Elena Grigorenko and Jerome Singer, (Eds.). Creativity: From Potential to Realization (Washington D.C.: American Psychological Association, 2004), pp. 127-151.] The literature comparing artistic and scientific creativity is sparse, perhaps because it is assumed that the arts and sciences are so different as to attract different types of minds who work in very different ways. As C. P. Snow wrote in his famous essay, The Two Cultures, artists and intellectuals stand at one pole and scientists at the other: “Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension -- sometimes ... hostility and dislike, but most of all lack of understanding... Their attitudes are so different that, even on the level of emotion, they can't find much common ground." (Snow, 1964, 4) Our purpose here is to argue that Snow's oft-repeated opinion has little substantive basis. Without denying that the products of the arts and sciences are different in both aspect and purpose, we nonetheless find that the processes used by artists and scientists to forge innovations are extremely similar. In fact, an unexpected proportion of scientists are amateur and sometimes even professional artists, and vice versa. Contrary to Snow’s two-cultures thesis, the arts and sciences are part of one, common creative culture largely composed of polymathic individuals.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

    EASTERN AVANT-GARDE ORBIT II DIGITAL DELIGHTS | LIST NO. 4 DECEMBER 2019 Dear clients, colleagues and friends, I am hereby glad to present my new short list »Digital Delights«, edition no. 4. The following illustrated list contains 30 new arrivals as well as carefully selected items from my stock related to the Central and Eastern European Avant-Garde orbit. Illustrated books and magazines, each created by major proponents of Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Romanian, Russian and Yugoslavian avant-garde movements from the 1920s and 1930s are waiting to be discovered by you. Highlights include the first ever printed poems by Paul Celan (pos. 1), the striking "Moholy- Nagy issue" of the Hungarian periodical MA (7), the spectacularly covered magazine »Kreisā Fronte« from Latvia (8-11), »The Adventures of The Five Little Roosters Gang«, probably the most breathtaking of all surrealist children books (29), and some particularly rare Bulgarian items, created by a short lifted but nevertheless fervent modernist scene around Geo Milev (please also consider my monograph »Bulgarian Modernism. Books and Magazines 1919-1934« still available in my web-shop). The list is in alphabetical order and the descriptions are mainly done in English, some of them in German language however. English translations on demand. So, please enjoy browsing, watching and reading, and of course I am very much looking forward to your feedback and orders.

Debating the Bauhaus and Modernism, Heidelberg: arthistoricum.net 2021, p. 359-573, https://doi.org/10.11588/arthistoricum.843.c11919 361 Simone Hain [ B ] What do we understand by taking a stand regarding architecture and design, and particularly of the Bauhaus and Modernism? architectural historiography As early as 1932, 33-year-old Mart Stam was preoccupied with the of modernism idea that he might be counted as dead as far as architectural his- tory, or rather the «West», was concerned, because for over a year and a half he had failed to provide new material for art history. «We Are Not Working Here with the Intention of Influencing How Art Develops and Making New Material Available to Art History» On August 20th, 1932, he wrote to Sigfried Giedion, the most im- portant art historian for architects: «You will be amazed to receive another little letter from me after I have been dead for a year and a half. Yes, I am immersed in our Russian work, in one of the most [ B ] difficult tasks that will ever exist. I know that we won’t be able to build a lot of flawless buildings here, that we won’t be able to produce wonderful material compositions, that we won’t even be able to implement pure floor plans and apartment types, maybe not even flawless city plans. [...] we are not working here with the intention of influencing how art develops and making new mate- rial available to art history, but rather because we are witnessing societal projects of modernism a great cultural-historical development that is almost unprecedent- reshaping the world ed in its scope and extent [...].»1 Stam describes his activities in Russia ex negativo, knowing full well that in doing so he is violating the well-established rela- tionship between himself and Giedion and all the rules of the game in the industry.

    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

  • Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
    Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms.
