Datasets 16 A. Data curation. Digital scans of landscape paintings were collected from the two major online sources: Wiki Art (WA) (1) 17 and the Web Gallery of Art (WGA) (2). For our purpose, we collected 12,431 landscape paintings by 1,071 artists assigned to 18 61 nationalities from WA, and 3,610 landscape paintings by 816 artists assigned with 20 nationalities from WGA. While the 19 overall number of paintings from WGA is relatively smaller than from WA, the WGA dataset has a larger volume of paintings 20 produced before 1800 CE. Therefore, we utilize both datasets in a complementary way. 21 As same paintings can be included in both datasets, we carefully constructed a unified dataset by filtering out the duplicate 22 paintings from both datasets by using meta-information of paintings (title, painter, completion date, etc.) to construct a unified 23 set of painting images.

  • 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.

  • Judit Nagy Cultural Encounters on the Canvas
    JUDIT NAGY CULTURAL ENCOUNTERS ON THE CANVAS: EUROPEAN INFLUENCES ON CANADIAN LANDSCAPE PAINTING 1867–1890 Introduction Whereas the second half of the 19th century is known as the age of transition in Victorian England, the post-confederation decades of the same century can be termed the age of possibilities in Canadian landscape painting, both transition and possibilities referring to a stage of devel- opment which focuses on potentialities and entails cultural encounters. Fuelled both by Europe’s cultural imprint and the refreshing impressions of the new land, contemporary Canadian landscapists of backgrounds often revealing European ties tried their hands at a multiplicity and mixture of styles. No underlying homogenous Canadian movement of art supported their endeavour though certain tendencies are observable in the colourful cavalcade of works conceived during this period. After providing a general overview of the era in Canadian landscape painting, the current paper will discuss the oeuvre of two landscapists of the time, the English-trained Allan Edson, and the German immigrant painter Otto Reinhold Jacobi1 to illustrate the scope of the ongoing experimentation with colour and light and to demonstrate the extent of European influence on contemporary Canadian landscape art. 1 Members of the Canadian Society of Artists, both Edson and Jacobi were exceptional in the sense that, unlike many landscapists at Confederation, they traded in their European settings into genuine Canadian ones. In general, “artists exhibited more scenes of England and the Continent than of Ontario and Quebec.” (Harper 179) 133 An overview of the era in landscape painting Meaning to capture the spirit of the given period in Canadian history, W.

  • Happy Valentine's 2020
    Happy Valentine's 2020 Americans began exchanging Valentines in the 1700s. In the 1800s Esther Howland took it to a new level during the Civil War when Valentines were very popular. Families, friends and loved ones were separated and feared they would never see each other again. Esther Howland popularized and mass-produced Valentine’s Day cards like this one, using lace, ribbons and colorful paper. She had an all-women assembly line in Worcester, Massachusetts, which started in her bedroom in her family home and grew to have annual revenues of $100,000. (substantial at that time). This forgotten entrepreneur - Esther who? - was a classmate of Emily Dickinson at Mount Holyoke and named her booming business The New England Valentine Company. 1 of 23 People enjoyed sending tokens of affection, poems, pictures, locks of hair and simple homemade cards. Now they could purchase elaborate ones with hidden doors, gilded lace and artistic illustrations. The visionary Esther became known as "The Mother of the American Valentine." (Courtesy American Antiquarian Society) 2 of 23 I can't send you a three dimensional Valentine with accordion effects and a string which moves a bouquet of flowers to reveal a verse (Esther's innovation - still used today), but I am sending you some paintings evocative of the spirit of Valentine's Day. I am featuring American painters in our GDAS year of Americana. 3 of 23 Sundown at Yosemite , Alfred Bierstadt, 1863 Romantic souls love sunsets.

Speaking no English and appearing only momentarily amid a four-hour extravaganza, he became a surprise overnight sensation. A show bill featuring his self-portrait preserves perhaps the sole visual record of his popular act (fig. 1). Garbed in knee-high leather boots, a velvet jacket with diamond-slit sleeves, flaring lace cuffs, and a wide-brimmed hat with a feather plume atop a long mane of flowing hair, Collodion exuded the swashbuckling bravado of an Ancien-Régime guardsman, though armed with drawing charcoal rather than a sword.

    FIGURES OF UBICOMP: CONCEPTUALIZING AND COMPOSING ACTIONABLE MEDIA By JOHN TINNELL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 John Tinnell 2 To Hutton 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like thank all of the amazing people in the English Department at the University of Florida, especially Greg Ulmer and Sid Dobrin. Greg’s work models everything I hope to achieve in my own. While I try to not follow his footsteps too obviously, I will always be seeking to further the insights and projects that his books so originally present. For me, Greg is among the masters that his motto gestures toward. Sid, perhaps more than anyone else, helped me come of age as a professional. Because of his constant encouragement and pinpoint advice, I felt as though I had made the transition from graduate student to Assistant Professor before I even started my dissertation. It would have been inconceivable for me to complete this project in under a year without that level of confidence and support. The other two members of my committee, Laurie Gries and Jack Stenner, provided me with vital feedback. Laurie’s capacity to respond to her students’ writing is unparalleled; she saw incongruencies in my writing to which I would otherwise still be blind. Jack voiced criticisms that I did not want to hear, which are the most important to hear. I thank my parents, emphatically, for their support and for doing what they are passionate about and always encouraging me to do the same.
