  • Spring 2007 Curriculum
    Spring 2007 Curriculum ART HISTORY AH 2259.01 The Birth of Romanticism: 1760 - 1820 Dan Hofstadter We shall begin with the first self-conscious stirrings of Romantic art, from about 1760 to 1820. Among the major artists covered will be David, Gericault, Ingres, William Blake, the early Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, and Goya. Readings will be drawn primarily from the poets and philosophers of the period, including Blake, Wordsworth, Diderot, and Rousseau. Our emphasis will be on the intimate relationship between late Neoclassicism and Romanticism, and on how the Romantic impulse originated in sketchbooks, small paintings, diaries, and other highly personal creations. Our principal topics will include the budding interest in chaos, natural phenomena, and spontaneity; the renewal of interest in the Middle Ages; the primacy accorded to the erotic impulse; and the fascination with the demonic and the revolutionary. Prerequisites: None. Credits: 4 Time: M, Th 9:15am - 12noon, Th 6:30pm - 8:20pm (This course meets the second seven weeks of the term.) AH 2286.01 Art in America Since WWII Andrew Spence After WWII, artists in U. S. cities played a major role in the transformation of contemporary art from Modernism to Post Modernism and the present. As a survey, this course looks at several of these artists’ works and their connections to important movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and the proliferation of later movements including Photo Realism, Minimalism, Feminist Art, Process Art, Earth Art, New Image Painting, Neo Expressionism, East Village Art, Identity Art and more. New York City as one of the world-class art centers is used as a focus for retracing these developments in order to gain a closer understanding and appreciation.

  • About LIGHT That Each Picture Is a Construct and the Result of an Optical-Mechanical, Chemical-Physical (Or Digital) Technolo- Rant About Them
    Nadine Olonetzky credible. Photography’s ability to cut through the timeline and freeze what was in front of the lens at that very tensive examination of the medium’s technological and aesthetic possibilities fuelled by a fundamental doubt moment has always been a very seductive way of proving things. In Andri Stadler’s case also one clings to what one as to the definiteness of photographic messages. Even though abstract photographs such as Andri Stadler’s seems to recognise – a road, stones on the beach, a hill, shadows, a ray of light as if from another planet. The fact delight by the beauty of their composition, contrasts of light and dark, or colours, there is something recalcit- ABOUT LIGHT that each picture is a construct and the result of an optical-mechanical, chemical-physical (or digital) technolo- rant about them. They refuse to give us something (which is supposed to be easily) recognisable in response to gical process, that it also depends on point of view and thus the photographer’s intentions, and that it may be he - a world that is confusingly complex, contradictory and difficult to read. A world where we are left in the dark avily retouched and edited – it is easily forgotten. Someone was here, they took a photograph, it must be true! But with nothing but assumptions, searching for light, groping for recognisable shapes. This is why pictures such As if stepping from a brightly lit living room into the pitch dark night, not recognising anything – this is the photographers have always been fascinated by the construction aspect of photographs, by the reality created as Stadler’s Surface series, although conveying a certain degree of the world’s surface, reflect much more than feeling we get when we first look at Andri Stadler’s images with similar probing eyes.

  • Fall 2008 Curriculum ART HISTORY
    Fall 2008 Curriculum ART HISTORY AH2267.01 School of Paris, 1900 - 1950 Dan Hofstadter This course - not a survey! - is devoted to the art, mostly pictorial, created in Paris between 1900 and 1950. The artists studied are included strictly on the basis of quality, and their works will be analyzed with respect to aesthetic criteria alone. Particular attention will be devoted to Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Lger, Gris, Bonnard, Vuillard, Mondrian, and Derain; we'll also have a look at some sculpture and decorative work and at some of the lesser-studied artists of the Forties. Readings will consist of a blend of recent critical writings and early twentieth-century literature (in translation) by Apollinaire, Gide, Colette, and Leiris. Students will be expected to write a paper every week, comparing in detail a modern painting with a work from some other period or school, i.e., a Picasso with an African piece or a picture from the Spanish School, a Matisse with an Islamic work, a Vuillard with a Japanese screen, etc. Prerequisites: None. Credits: 4 Time: MTh 10:10 - 12noon AH2286.01 Art in America Since WWII Andrew Spence After WWII, artists in United States cities played a major role in the transformation of contemporary art from Modernism to Post Modernism and the present.

  • Seeking the Language of Bones: a Photographic Investigation
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Tasmania Open Access Repository What Bone Shall Speak for Me? Seeking the Language of Bones: A Photographic Investigation. by Jo Pitchford, BFA (Hons), MFA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of Tasmania August 2007 Abstract Through the media of analogue and digital imagery and the discipline of theoretical research, this project investigates skeletal remains to elucidate their language by examining them in evolutionary, historical, cultural and ritual contexts. In the context of this exegesis skeletal remains are indicated as metaphors for narrative and language. The exegesis discusses the manner in which bones are subject to a form of metamorphosis that is influenced and directed by the languages used to describe them, which in turn are directed by the position, experiential history and cultural background of the viewer/interpreter. These concepts are investigated in the context of artistic practice, with reference to the work of Henry Moore, Harry Nankin, J. John Priola, Stephanie Valentin and others. The outcome of the research project is realised in a visual arts exhibition. The wall mounted images, the specimen book of images and the shelf installation of bones with different objects all allude to the essential ambiguity and fluidity of the nature of bones and the languages associated with and imposed on them. In seeking the language of bones, the exhibition reveals that the reply to the question What bone shall speak for me? is as individually subjective and mutable as the images and objects suggest.
