ARTISTS and THEIR WORK - a WORK in PROGRESS Compiled by Shab Levy ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK - A WORK IN PROGRESS Compiled by Shab Levy This latest version, representing 281 artists and 592 works of art, replaces all prior versions of this project. The list is arranged chronologically by the year of the birth of the artist. Each page is dedicated to one work of art. The list is based primarily on personal preference and non-ac- ademic research of some of the most popular works in the history of art. Most examples show work done since the 19th century, with few dating from earlier periods. The research was done using personal art books, catalogs and the internet. However, there is no systematic or otherwise justified reason as to the included selections other than personal preference. I have concentrated only on western art, because this is what I am familiar with, although I have no doubt that eastern art and especially the influence of such on western civilization has affected significantly some of these works. According to art historians, modern art started around the 1860s and lasted until the 1970s, and denotes the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been set aside and replaced with a spirit of experimentation. After the 1970s modern art is often called Contemporary or Postmodern. You might notice that only a few photographers and architects are included in this compilation of images. In later versions this scaricity will be rectified. Each work of art has a link to Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia on the Internet, about the artist of the work on view. (Click the name of the artist to link to Wikipedia.) 1 I have rationalized my liberal use of images because: 1. The purpose of this list of images and descriptions is not for commercial use. 2. This is a historically significant visual work that could not be conveyed in words. 3. Inclusion of the images is for information, education and analysis only. 4. The inclusion of low resolution pictures here adds significantly to this list because these images depict the actual work of art and because writing about visual art without showing visuals, is not very useful. 5. The images are low resolution copies of facsimiles of the original works and would be unlikely to impact sales of the originals or of commercial prints based on the originals. An alphabetical list of all represented artists starts on page 597 I hope that you will enjoy perusing the images. I would be grateful if you let me know if in your opinion I have made some major errors, or missed an important work of art. In short, I would like to hear from you.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan
    Leonardo Da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan 9 November 2011 – 5 February 2012 Sainsbury Wing and Sunley Room Admission free Sponsored by Credit Suisse 'Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan' is the most complete display of Leonardo’s rare surviving paintings ever held. This unprecedented exhibition – the first of its kind anywhere in the world – brings together sensational international loans never before seen in the UK, including 'La Belle Ferronière' (Musée du Louvre, Paris), the 'Madonna Litta' (Hermitage, Saint Petersburg) and 'Saint Jerome' (Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome). While numerous exhibitions have looked at Leonardo da Vinci as an inventor, scientist or draughtsman, this is the first to be dedicated to his aims and techniques as a painter. Inspired by the recently restored National Gallery painting, 'The Virgin of the Rocks', this exhibition focuses on Leonardo as an artist and in particular on the work he produced during his career as court painter to Duke Lodovico Sforza in Milan in the late 1480s and 1490s. Benefiting from his salaried position, Leonardo had the freedom to explore ways of perceiving and recording human proportion, expression and anatomy and the myriad forms of plants and animals. These investigations fed into his extraordinary paintings: marvellous combinations of the real and the ideal, the natural and the divine. Featuring the finest paintings and drawings by Leonardo and his followers, the exhibition examines Leonardo’s pursuit for perfection in his representation of the human form. As a painter, he aimed to convince viewers of the reality of what they were seeing while still aspiring to create ideals of beauty – particularly in his exquisite portraits – and, in his religious works, to convey a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.

  • ART NOUVEAU: Pack 1 By: Daniel Lovsted 1. ​In a Painting Titled For
    ART NOUVEAU: Pack 1 By: Daniel Lovsted 1. In a painting titled for these objects, a woman carrying a basket looks out at the viewer from the ​ left foreground, and a little girl holds a hoop in the right foreground. One of these objects is under the arm of Ludovic Lepic and appears to hit his daughter in the face in Degas’ (**) Place de la ​ ​ Concorde. It’s not an animal carcass, but one of these objects looms above the faceless figure in ​ ​ ​ Bacon’s Painting, 1946, leading to critical associations of that bloody-jawed figure with Neville ​ ​ Chamberlain. Thousands of these objects form a (*) canopy above several streets in Agueda, ​ Portugal, casting colourful light on the ground. These objects are held by most of the figures in a painting divided down the middle by a green lamppost, which shows the wide Haussmannian boulevards of a certain city. For 10 points, name these objects held by the people in Gustave Caillebotte’s Paris Street, ​ Rainy Day. ​ ANSWER: umbrellas [do not accept or prompt on “parasols”] ​ ​ [first painting is by Renoir] <Painting; 2> 2. One artist with this surname was a Harlem Renaissance painter who used a naive folk style in ​ works like Sowing. A large redwood relief by a different artist with this surname, eventually valued ​ ​ at over $1 million, was unwittingly sold by UC Berkeley for just $150 in 2009. That San Francisco-based artist with this surname sculpted a neck-up portrait of a (**) Black boy resting his ​ ​ head in one hand, titled Chester. In addition to William and Sargent Claude, a White artist of this ​ ​ surname painted portraits of Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland, depicted a Black family on horseback at dawn in (*) A Ride for Liberty, and showed a Black man reading from the Bible in The Lord ​ ​ ​ Is My Shepherd.

  • Women Futurists and Parole in Libertà 1914-1924
    Between Word and Image: Women Futurists and Parole in Libertà 1914-1924 By Janaya Sandra Lasker-Ferretti A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Professor Albert R. Ascoli Professor Harsha Ram Professor Alessia Ricciardi Spring 2012 Between Word and Image: Women Futurists and Parole in Libertà 1914-1924 © 2012 by Janaya Sandra Lasker-Ferretti Abstract Between Word and Image: Women Futurists and Parole in Libertà 1914-1924 by Janaya Sandra Lasker-Ferretti Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair After F.T. Marinetti, the leader of futurism, theorized parole in libertà (or “words-in- freedom”) in his manifestoes, numerous futurists participated in this verbo-visual practice. Although paroliberismo was a characteristic form of expression that dominated futurist poetics preceding, during, and after World War I, little scholarly work has been done on the “words-in- freedom” authored by women and how they might differ from those created by their male counterparts. Women, outcast as they were by futurism both in theory and often in practice, participated nevertheless in the avant-garde movement known for announcing its “disdain for women” in its “Founding Manifesto” of 1909. This dissertation takes an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing the position of the female futurist and her mixed-media contributions during the years in which paroliberismo was carried out in futurist circles. I examine rare and under-studied verbo-visual works done by women between 1914 and 1924.

  • By Albert Gleizes
    TITLE: Pour la méditation II (For Meditation) preparatory etching for the book Pen- sées (Thoughts) ARTIST: Albert Gleizes DATE: c. 1949-1950 SIZE: framed: 15 5/8 x 12 5/8; image: 9 ¾x 6 ¾ in. MEDIUM: etching ACQUISITION #: 2000.5.83 Additional works in the collection by the artist? Yes____ No_X_ ARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY Also a great theorist and writer, Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) was a French artist of the Cubist Movement. Though we usually associate Cub- ism with its great masters, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris (called the “Montmartre Cubists” because they lived in that section of Paris), there also existed a small parallel group of five French artists which included Gleizes (known as the “Salon Cubists” ). When these artists first exhibited their abstract works in 1910, the critic Louis Vauxcelles coined the term cubisme, saying the works seemed to be composed of many tiny cubes. Gleizes grew up in a suburb of Paris and at age 19 began working for his father’s interior design and fabric company. The beginning of his ca- reer was marked by an Impressionist style which soon developed into the even more avant-garde and abstract Cubism, to which he remained faithful for most of his life. Gleizes enjoyed collaboration and had a fondness for social as well as formalistic art. Often, he joined or established various artist communes in France. He was publicly active as an artist, exhibited in many of the major avant-garde shows, and co-wrote Du Cubisme (1912) ARTIST’S STATEMENT with Jean Metzinger. Toward the end of his life, Gleizes became increas- “The question Cubism posed, more vigorously and ingly religious and many of his works became overtly spiritual.

  • Auger Emily Phd 1994.Pdf
    Il Supervisor; Dr. Charles Wicke Abstract TTiroughout history, artists have been influenced by artistic traditions external to tlieir own. In twentieth century Western art, such influences, often facilitated by the artists' experience of a sense of "empathy" with the art of another tradition, have contributed to the apparent dissolution of aesthetic boundaries. Nicola Wojewoda, a contemporary, non- Native, Toronto artist is a participant in this process. Although she has found inspiration in the art of many historical periods and civilizations, Wojewoda has been most deeply affected by contemporary Inuit sculpture, which is, in itself, largely the result of Western influences on an indigenous culture. Western art demonstrating influences from African, Oceanic, and North American Native arts is one type of "Primitivist" art which has been severely criticized as proof of colonialist attitudes. However, as this thesis demonstrates, Wojewoda’s art and her empathetic involvement with Inuit art belong within the historical context of "Primitivism" defined, as it was by Robert Goldwater in Primitivism in Modem Art (1938), as a search for that which is most fundamental and profound in artistic form and content. This search has resulted in many artistic explorations based on a sincere and respectful acknowledgement of the power of both "traditional" and, as in Wojewoda's case. Western influenced Native art to communicate beyond its originating sphere; but it is not limited to such explorations. This thesis demonstrates that Wojewoda's involvement with Inuit art was a permutation of her previously established search for the fundamentals of artistic form and content; a search which focused on the exploration of movement, transformation, symbols, and "archetypes" in a variety of media and types of art.

Guggenheim Foundation, New York Printed and bound in Italy FOREWORD When Peggy Guggenheim opened her Guggenheim Jeune gallery in London in January 1938, she was beginning, at forty years old, a career which would significantly affect the course of postwar art. It was Samuel Beckett who insisted that she should be interested in contemporary art because it was a "living thing," and it was Marcel Duchamp who intro- duced her to the artists and taught her, as she put it, "the difference between Abstract and Surrealist art."* In 1939 she conceived "the idea of opening a modern museum in London," with Herbert Read as its director. From the start the museum was to be formed according to historical principles, and a list of all the artists who should be represented, drawn up by Read and later revised by Marcel Duchamp and Nellie van Doesburg, was to become the basis of her collection. In 1939-40, apparently oblivious of the war, Peggy busily acquired works for the future museum, keeping to her resolve to "buy a picture a day." Some of the masterpieces of her collection— by Picasso, Braque, Kandinsky and Mondrian, for example— were bought at that time, and she astonished Léger by buying a picture ( Men in the City) on the day Hitler invaded Norway.
