  • Heiser, Jörg. “Do It Again,” Frieze, Issue 94, October 2005
    Heiser, Jörg. “Do it Again,” Frieze, Issue 94, October 2005. In conversation with Marina Abramovic Marina Abramovic: Monica, I really like your piece Hausfrau Swinging [1997] – a video that combines sculpture and performance. Have you ever performed this piece yourself? Monica Bonvicini: No, although my mother said, ‘you have to do it, Monica – you have to stand there naked wearing this house’. I replied, ‘I don’t think so’. In the piece a woman has a model of a house on her head and bangs it against a dry-wall corner; it’s related to a Louise Bourgeois drawing from the ‘Femme Maison’ series [Woman House, 1946–7], which I had a copy of in my studio for a long time. I actually first shot a video of myself doing the banging, but I didn’t like the result at all: I was too afraid of getting hurt. So I thought of a friend of mine who is an actor: she has a great, strong body – a little like the woman in the Louise Bourgeois drawing that inspired it – and I knew she would be able to do it the right way. Jörg Heiser: Monica, after you first showed Wall Fuckin’ in 1995 – a video installation that includes a static shot of a naked woman embracing a wall, with her head outside the picture frame – you told me one critic didn’t talk to you for two years because he was upset it wasn’t you. It’s an odd assumption that female artists should only use their own bodies.

  • The Making of Paula Rego's 'The Nursery Rhymes'
    The making of Paula Rego’s ‘The Nursery Rhymes’ Abstract This article looks at the series of etchings and aquatints entitled The Nursery Rhymes that Paula Rego made in 1989 in collaboration with printer Professor Paul Coldwell. Whilst she had already had some printmaking experience, The Nursery Rhymes constituted her first major engagement with printmaking. The article considers the circumstances under which the prints were made, both in terms of her personal circumstances and her professional standing, and examines their reception and continuing popularity. It also gives personal insights and commentary on the series, looking at both her iconography and her connection to a wide range of graphic work. It does so from the author’s unique perspective as the printer and collaborator in the project and offers insights into the working relationship between artist and printer. The making of Paula Rego’s ‘The Nursery Rhymes’ Paul Coldwell Paula Rego has always identified with the least, not the mighty, taken the child’s eye view, and counted herself among the commonplace and the disregarded, by the side of the beast, not the beauty… Her sympathy with naiveté, her love of its double character, its weakness and its force, has led her to Nursery Rhymes as a new source for her imagery. (Warner 1989) Paula Rego was born in Lisbon in 1935 and attended the Slade School of Art in London between 1952–56 where she met her husband, the painter Victor Willing. In 1957 she returned to live in Portugal with her three children, living between London and Portugal for a few years before finally settling in London in 1976.

  • Ceramics in Portuguese Architecture (16Th-20Th Centuries)
    CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) CERAMICS IN PORTUGUESE ARCHITECTURE (16TH-20TH CENTURIES) A. M. Portela, F. Queiroz Art Historians - Portugal [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to present a synoptic view of the evolution of Portuguese architectural ceramics, particularly focusing on the 19th and 20th centuries, because the origins of current uses of ceramic tiles in Portuguese architecture stem from those periods. Thus, the paper begins with the background to the use of ceramics in Portuguese architecture, between the 16th and 18th centuries, through some duly illustrated paradigmatic examples. The study then presents examples of the 19th century, in a period of transition between art and industry, demonstrating the diversity and excellence of Portuguese production, as well as the identifying character of the phenomenon of façade tiling in the Portuguese urban image. The study concludes with a section on the causes of the decline in the use of ceramic materials in Portuguese architecture in the first decades of the 20th century, and the appropriation of ceramic tiling by the popular classes in their vernacular architecture. Parallel to this, the paper shows how the most erudite route for ceramic tilings lay in author works, often in public buildings and at the service of the nationalistic propaganda of the dictatorial regime. This section also explains how an industrial upgrading occurred that led to the closing of many of the most important Portuguese industrial units of ceramic products for architecture, foreshadowing the current ceramic tiling scenario in Portugal. 1 CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) 1. INTRODUCTION In Portugal, ornamental ceramics used in architecture are generally - and almost automatically - associated only with tiles, even though, depending on the historical period, one can enlarge considerably the approach, beyond this specific form of ceramic art.

  • Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, a Portuguese Art Nouveau Artist Rita Nobre Peralta, Leonor Da Costa Pereira Loureiro, Alice Nogueira Alves
    Strand 2. Art Nouveau and Politics in the Dawn of Globalisation Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, a portuguese Art Nouveau artist Rita Nobre Peralta, Leonor da Costa Pereira Loureiro, Alice Nogueira Alves Abstract The Art Nouveau gradual appearance in the Portuguese context it’s marked by the multidimensional artist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, and by his audacious affirmation as an avant- garde figure focused upon the industrial modernity, that is able to highlight some of the most original artistic solutions of his time. He manages to include in his production a touch of Portuguese Identity alongside with the new European trends of the late 19th century, combining traditional production techniques, themes and typologies, which are extended to artistic areas as varied as the press, the decorative arts and the decoration of cultural events. In this article, we pretend to analyse some of his proposals within Lisbon's civil architecture interior design and his participation in the Columbian Exhibition, held in Madrid in 1892, where he was a member of the Portuguese Legation, co-responsible for the selection and composition of the exhibition contents. Keywords: Art Nouveau, Cultural heritage, Portuguese identity, 19 th Century, interior and exterior design, Decorative arts, ceramics, tiles, furniture, Colombian Exposition of Madrid 1892 1 THE FIRST YEARS - PRESS, HUMOR AND AVANT-GARDE Rafael Augusto Prostes Bordalo Pinheiro (1846-1905) was born on March 21, 1846, in Lisbon, Portugal. His taste for art has always been boosted up by his father, Manuel Maria Bordalo Pinheiro who, together with his occupation as a civil servant, was also known as a painter and an external student of the Academy of Fine Arts of Lisbon.

Bartlett Washington and Lee University Department of Art and Art History Honors Thesis in Art History March 25, 2016 I have neither given nor received any unacknowledged aid on this thesis. Sarah M. Bartlett ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am hugely indebted to my parents, who offered me tremendous encouragement over the past ten months. Without their support, I never would have been able to spend hours poring over Yves Klein’s writings this past August at the Yves Klein Archives in Paris. My love affair with the artist’s work only grew because of their help. In addition, I would like to thank Mabel Tapia for her guidance and careful assistance during my visit to the Yves Klein Archives. She graciously directed me towards countless invaluable resources and allowed me to view a wide variety of original manuscripts and drawings. Of course, I must thank Professor Melissa R. Kerin for the countless hours of guidance she offered throughout this process. This project would not have been the same without her support, and I am forever indebted to her for motivating me to produce the best possible thesis. Thank you.
