  • "Five French Photographers"
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 11 WEST 53 STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. Tuesday 2-5 p.m. TUIPHONEi CIRCLI S-S900 511213-77 FOR WEDNESDAY RELEASE JOURNALIST PHOTOGRAPHY PROM FRANCE TO BE SHOWN IN "FIVE FRENCH PHOTOGRAPHERS" Outstanding reportorial photography by contemporary Frenchmen Brassai, Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Roni3 and Izis will be exhibited in the Auditorium Gallery of the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, from December 19 through February 2l+. About 200 works by these photographers have been selected by Edward Steichen, Director of the Museum1s Department of Photography. Henri Cartier-Bresson is represented entirely by his Asiatic photographs taken in China, Indonesia, Burma, India, Bali and Ceylon# Most of these are being exhibited for the first time anywhere, and only a very few have ever been published in this country. Brassai at 52 is the senior member of this group. Both he and Cartier-Bresson have exerted a considerable influence not only on French photography but on the best photography of all Europe. Work by both of these men has been published here in Harpers-Bazaar, and by Cartier-Bresson in Life magazine. Photographs by Robert Doisneau have appeared in Vogue. The work of Izis and Ronis is practically unknown in this country. Exoept for the Cartier-Bressons, all the photographs in the exhibition were taken in Paris or in the provinces of France. This exhibition is part of the Department of Photography^ plan to exhibit work by photographers of other countries and at a later date to include some of the new, younger photographers of France and other nations.

    of these posters carry the titles of Georges Perec’s novels, but Ignasi Aballí very few were actually made into Flms. We might, however, Desapariciones II (1 of 24), 2005 seem to remember some of these as Flms, or perhaps simply imagine we remember them. A cinema poster, aker it has accomplished its function of announcing a Flm, is all that’s lek of the Flm: an objective, material trace of its existence. Yet it also holds a subjective trace. It carries something of our own personal history, of our involvement with the cinema, making us remember certain aspects of Flms, maybe even their storylines. As we look at these posters we begin to create our own storylines, the images, text and design suggesting di©erent possibilities to us. By fabricating a tangible trace of Flms that were never made, Desaparicions II brings the Flms into existence and it is the viewer who begins to create, even remember these movies. The images that appear in the posters have all been taken from artworks made by Aballí. As the artist has commented: ‘In the case of Perec, I carried out a process of investigation to construct a Fction that enabled me to relate my work to his and generate a hybrid, which is something directly constructed by me, though it includes real elements I found during the documentation stage.’ 3 Absence, is not only evident in the novel La Disparition, but is also persistent in the work Aballí; mirrors obliterated with Tipp-Ex, photographs of the trace paintings have lek once they have been taken down.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Leo G. Mazow Curator of American Art, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor of Art History Joyce Henri Robinson Curator, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor of Art History Adam Rome Associate Professor of History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT In 1943, Peggy Guggenheim‘s Art of This Century gallery staged the first large-scale exhibition of collage in the United States. This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

  • By Fernando Herrero-Matoses
    ANTONIO SAURA'S MONSTRIFICATIONS: THE MONSTROUS BODY, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE MODERN SPANISH TRADITION BY FERNANDO HERRERO-MATOSES DISSERTATION Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jonathan D. Fineberg, Chair Associate Professor Jordana Mendelson, New York University Assistant Professor Terri Weissman Associate Professor Brett A. Kaplan Associate Professor Elena L. Delgado Abstract This dissertation examines the monstrous body in the works of Antonio Saura Atares (1930-1998) as a means of exploring moments of cultural and political refashioning of the modern Spanish tradition during the second half of the twentieth century. In his work, Saura rendered figures in well-known Spanish paintings by El Greco, Velázquez, Goya and Picasso as monstrous bodies. Saura’s career-long gesture of deforming bodies in discontinuous thematic series across decades (what I called monstrifications) functioned as instances for artistic self-evaluation and cultural commentary. Rather than metaphorical self-portraits, Saura’s monstrous bodies allegorized the artistic and symbolic body of his artistic ancestry as a dismembered and melancholic corpus. In examining Saura’s monstrifications, this dissertation closely examines the reshaping of modern Spanish narrative under three different political periods: Franco’s dictatorship, political transition, and social democracy. By situating Saura’s works and texts within the context of Spanish recent political past, this dissertation aims to open conversations and cultural analyses about the individual interpretations made by artists through their politically informed appropriations of cultural traditions. As I argue, Saura’s monstrous bodies incarnated an allegorical and melancholic gaze upon the fragmentary and discontinuous corpus of Spanish artistic legacy as an always-retrieved yet never restored body.

As the colours intermingle and separate, a veil of drips wanders down, slowly dissolving into (the ether of) the background. Brandl’s painterly mastery saturates this work. With a few simple, confident and elegant strokes, he creates an abstract form which can be almost instantly recognized as light reflecting on water. Light never materializes into an object, it occurs in time; and on the surface of water it always shimmers, flickering from one form to another. Brandl’s decades long preoccupation with pictorial form and the conceptual underpinnings of the image is clearly visible in this work. Here, Brandl captures something essential in an almost monumental format, and presents it as something still wavering between the abstract and concrete. Like an illusion or an apparition, it appears unmistakable, yet one cannot be sure of its true nature. Brandl’s work has been exhibited all over the world, including Biennale de Paris (1985), the São Paulo Art Biennale (1989), Documenta IX (1992), Kunsthalle Basel (1999) and the Venice Biennale (2007).

    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. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

  • Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim
    Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim Beyond Art and Politics from a Comparative Perspective a Comparative from Art and Politics Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim This book brings together experts from different fields of study, including sociology, anthropology, art history Art and Politics from a Comparative Perspective and art criticism to share their research and direct experience on the topic of art and politics. How art and politics relate with each other can be studied from numerous perspectives and standpoints. The book is structured according to three main themes: Part 1, on Valuing Art, broadly concerns the question of who, how and what value is given to art, and how this may change over time and circumstance, depending on the social and political situation and motivation of different interest groups. Part 2, on Artistic Political Engagement, reflects on another dimension of art and politics, that of how artists may be intentionally engaged with politics, either via their social and political status and/or through the kind of art they produce and how they frame it in terms of meaning. Part 3, on Exhibitions and Curating, focuses on yet another aspect of the relationship between art and politics: what gets exhibited, why, how, and with what political significance or consequence. A main focus is on the politics of art in the Basque Country, complemented by case studies and reflections from other parts of the world, both in the past and today. This book is unique by gathering a rich variety of different viewpoints and experiences, with artists, curators, art historians, sociologists and anthropologists talking to each other with sometimes quite different epistemological bases and methodological approaches.
