    A Century of Cataloguing of Illuminated Manuscripts in Vienna

    OTTO PÄCHT-ARCHIV ARCHIV PROJEKTE FÖRDERER TEAM MATERIALIEN * A Century of Cataloguing Illuminated Manuscripts in Vienna Martin ROLAND Historical Background and Library History With reference to historical holdings in general and manuscripts in particular, the Austrian National Library is one of the world’s leading libraries. The importance of these treasures does not correspond with the 80,000 km² of territory of a republic created by the treaty of Saint Germain in 1919. After World War I the inhabitants neither considered themselves Austrians nor had they a unifying culture. Instead, they regarded themselves, on the one hand, as part of the German- speaking culture, and, on the other, as Styrians, Tyroleans, Carinthians etc. Each of these crown lands (“Kronländer”) had strong historical roots of identification reaching back to the middle ages. Additionally there was a supranational identification which centred on the tradition of the Habsburg monarchy intensively connected with Vienna as residential city. This function as the centre of a monarchic empire is the basis of the library and its treasures. As a princely library some of its holdings go back to the 14th century property of the Austrian dukes, who were Habsburgs since 1282. The first milestone towards a collection was due to Frederick III (1415–1493), who merged his own holdings with those of his Luxemburg predecessors as king and emperor (Wenceslaus and Sigismund). A library with librarians and indexing began to evolve in the second half of the 16th century. The holdings of the princely library were limited to high-end volumes (in terms of artistic decoration) and – due to the influence of humanism – to works of philological and historical interest.
  • Transforming Practices

    Transforming Practices

    Transforming Practices: Imogen Cunningham’s Botanical Studies of the 1920s Caroline Marsh Spring Semester 2014 Dr. Juliet Bellow, Art History University Honors in Art History Imogen Cunningham worked for decades as a professional photographer, creating predominantly portraits and botanical studies. In 1932, she joined the influential Group f.64, a group of West Coast photographers who worked to pioneer the concept of “Straight Photography,” a movement that emphasized the use of sharp focus and high contrast. Members of Group f.64 included Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, whose works have since overshadowed other photographers in the group. Cunningham has been marginalized in histories of Group f.64, and in the history of photography in general, despite evidence of her development of many important photographic practices during her lifetime. This paper builds on scholarship about Group f.64, using biographical information and analysis of her photographs, to argue that Cunningham influenced more of the ideas in the group than has been recognized, especially in her focus on the simplification of form and the creation of compelling compositions. Focusing on her botanical studies, I show that many of the ideas of f.64 existed in her oeuvre before the formal creation of the group. Analysis of her participation in the group reveals her contribution to developments in art photography in that period, and shows that her gender played a key role in historical accounts that downplay her significant contributions to f.64. Marsh 2 Imogen Cunningham became well known in her lifetime as an independent and energetic photographer from the West Coast, whose personality defined her more than the photographs she created or her contribution to the developing straight photography movement in California.

Latency of visual studies within the Vienna School of Art History? Abstract This article investigates a research method of the so-called Vienna School of Art History, mainly its transformation by Max Dvořák around the First World War. The article suggests the possible influence of Georg Simmel’s philosophy on Dvořák in this time, evident mainly in Dvořák’s interpretation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s art, written by Dvořák in 1920 and published posthumously in 1921. This another view on the Vienna School of Art History is then researched in writings on Pieter Bruegel the Elder by Dvořák’s students Hans Sedlmayr and Charles de Tolnay when Tolnay extended Dvořák’s thinking and Sedlmayr challenged its premises – both Tolnay and Sedlmayr thus in the same time interpreted Bruegel’s art differently, even though they were both Dvořák’s students. The article then suggests a possible interpretative relationship of the Vienna School of Art History after its transformation by Max Dvořák with today’s approaches to art (history), mainly with the so-called visual studies. Keywords: Max Dvořák, Vienna School of Art History, Georg Simmel, Visual Studies, Charles de Tolnay, Hans Sedlmayr.

The Seminar Series is offered in the form of three historiographic workshops. These three workshops contemplate what the French theorist and historian Michel de Certeau calls “historiographical operation” within art history, by looking at three critical aspects of its practice—a disciplinary moment (the Vienna School), a rhetorical practice (description, or ekphrasis), and a critical modality (comparativism). As such, these three aspects or cross-sections in art historiography correspond to three inter- linked stages of thought process in Jas' Elsner’s vision of art history as a discipline—from past, present, to future—which the participants are encouraged to follow through as a logical sequence. The first seminar, whose firm focus is on the discipline’s past, aims at an exercise in rigorous his- toricization wherein methodological debates are localized into episodes of early literature in the discipline and illuminated against wider cultural, political, and ideological backgrounds. Histori- cization has as one of its purposes the liberation from, and the caution against, facile or whole- sale acceptance of any single set of methods.

    The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE: U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart SEPTEMBER 21, 1973 EDWARD WESTON RETROSPECTIVE The first major retrospective of Edward Weston since his death in 1958 will be presented by The Museum of Modern Art in the winter of 1975, John Szarkowski, Direc­ tor of the Museum's Department of Photography, announced today. Mr.Szarkowski has invited Willard Van Dyke, well-known photographer, filmmaker and critic and close colleague of Weston for more than 30 years, to direct the ex­ hibition. Mr. Van Dyke is Director of the Museum's Department of Film. Weston, a master of 20th-century photography, was born in 1886 and became a professional photographer when he was in his early 20s. He opened his first studio in California in 1911. The retrospective will explore the evolution of his vision and study his contribution to the visual art of this century over five decades of a distinguished career. Weston moved to Mexico in 1923 where he opened a portrait studio with Tina Modotti. He returned to California in 1929 and three years later, with Willard Van Dyke, formed the influential "Group f64." This alliance of west coast photographers, including Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham, was dedicated to the deep focus, un­ varnished technique exemplified in Weston's photographs. In 1948 Van Dyke, who had already photographed or directed a score of important documentary films, made The Photographer, now considered the classic film study of Weston's life and work. Weston was given a one-man show at The Museum of Modern Art in 1946 and shortly afterwards was sticken with Parkinson's disease.

    Journal of Art Historiography Issue 2 (Jun 2010)

    Journal of Art Historiography Issue 2 (Jun 2010) Richard Woodfield Number 2 June 2010 Articles Hans H. Aurenhammer, ?Max Dvo?ák and the History of Medieval Art? http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_152487_en.pdf> Abstract: The intellectual development of Max Dvo?ák (1874-1921), one of the protagonists of the ?Vienna School of Art History?, was characterized by a constant process of methodological self-criticism. His changing views on Medieval Art are known above all by two texts: The Enigma of the Art of the Van Eyck Brothers (1904), strongly influenced by Wickhoff and Riegl and by an ?impressionistic? view of modernity, and Idealism and Naturalism in Gothic Sculpture and Painting (1918), an essay dating to Dvo?ák?s late, ?expressionistic?, period. Knowing only these two texts, the decisive turn undertaken by Dvo?ák around 1920 could be interpreted as a sudden change of paradigm. As the paper wants to show, this view has to be revised after having read and analyzed Dvo?ák?s hitherto unpublished university lectures on Western European Art in the Middle Ages which were given four times from 1906 to 1918. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, ?American Voices. Remarks on the Earlier History of Art History in the United States and the Reception of Germanic Art Historians? <http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_152488_en.pdf> Abstract: This essay presents a critique of recent historiographic considerations of German art historians in the United States. It traces this history back to Johann Valentin Haidt in the eighteenth century. Using Princeton as a point of reference, it traces the innovations in the history of the discipline in the United States that were developed largely independent of the impact of German émigrés, and then turns to consider the possible impact of German speakers.

    STILL Photography December 12, 2019 – June 14, 2020 Selections from the JSMA Permanent Collection Thom Sempere JSMA Associate Curator of Photography PHOTOGRAPHYStill Noun Deep silence and calm; stillness. The still of the night. An ordinary static photograph, especially a single shot from a movie. A work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects: still-life. Verb Still Make or become still. She raised her hand, stilling their protests. Adverb Up to and including the present or the time mentioned. Even though it is digital, it is still photography. Adjective Not moving or making a sound. Her voice carried on the still air. Through years of study and use, we learn the nuanced nature of language, but have less formal training when considering how to read photographs. We might understand a single word differently based on whether it is spoken or written. Often, a definition includes multiple meanings. Still may be employed as a noun, verb, adverb or an adjective. There are fewer collective ‘rules’ to apply when viewing photographs. Images may be used in a myriad of ways. Mute, and often caption-less, pictures are prone to misconstrued readings. What did their makers wish for us to know about their worlds? As viewers, we might consider the intent of the photographer and the context of the picture’s making to try to interpret its meaning. Our interactions with and responses to images play an important role in the cycle of understanding. Yet, photographs say much when left on their own. STILL Photography features works from the museum’s permanent collection.

Still, he succeeds in capturing multiple aspects of a complex, charismatic man, ensuring play in art centers and fests before likely PBS broadcast. Born into privilege and groomed for a life of conservative ease, Wagstaff chucked off his reputation as "the debs' darling" and dove into the art scene, making his mark as an iconoclastic curator with exhibitions celebrating late- flowering Abstract Expressionism and burgeoning Minimalism.

    The History of Photography: the Research Library of the Mack Lee

    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material.
