Special emphasis is placed on the cultural breakthrough and new avenues of research arising from the conference, including modernism's interface with socialist realism, the interplay of visual art and poetry, the Hylean futurism of David Burliuk, and the artistic legacy of Alexander Archipenko.

  • Edge of a Pine Forest Signed in Cyrillic and Dated ‘1884’ (Lower Right) Graphite and Charcoal on Paper 32.5 X 46.5 Cm (12¾ X 18¼ In)
    Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (Elabuga 1832 - St. Petersburg 1898) Edge of a Pine Forest signed in Cyrillic and dated ‘1884’ (lower right) graphite and charcoal on paper 32.5 x 46.5 cm (12¾ x 18¼ in) Edge of a Pine Forest is an excellent example of Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin’s later depictions of forests. The naturalistic treatment and glimpses of unfolding vistas are characteristic of his style during the 1880s. Shishkin considered drawing to be an important branch of art. At this time the lines in his drawings are elastic and mobile, sometimes flowing, light and wavy, whilst at other times resilient and strong. He uses black lead in a light, free style but his pencil strokes are more animated and varied. Shishkin used a combination of pencil, charcoal, graphite and white chalk, which allowed him to achieve softer effects and a finer gradation of tone. Over forty years of artistic activity, Shishkin produced hundreds of paintings, numerous studies and drawings, and a large number of engravings. Many of these concerned forests and trees. An oil painting created a few years after the drawing, Forest in Mordvinovo (1891, State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Moscow), illustrates Shishkin’s use of an alternative medium to treat the same subject. Shishkin considered studies to be an integral part of the creative process, based on continual observation and reflection. The resulting level of detail does not detract from the unity of the picture, but contributes to a carefully thought out composition and the harmonious use of light colours. The present drawing was executed by Shishkin specifically for a project to demonstrate the potential of photogravure as a printing method.

  • Michel Andreenko and Ukrainian Artists in Paris the Current Permanent Collection Arrival As a Refugee in 1923 Until Exhibition Highlights Twentieth- His Death in 1982
    michel andreenko and ukrainian artists in paris The current permanent collection arrival as a refugee in 1923 until exhibition highlights twentieth- his death in 1982. These include century artist Michel [Mychajlo] Alexis Gritchenko [Ukr.: Oleksa Andreenko (1894-1982) and work Hryshchenko] (1883-1977), Sophia by a selection of his contemporary Zarytska [-Omelchenko] (1887 or 1903-1972), Severyn Borachok (1898-1975), Mykola Hlushchenko (1901-1977), Mykola Butovych (1895-1961), Mykhailo Moroz (1902- 1993), Andriy Solohub (1922-2010), Liuboslav Hutsaliuk (1923-2003) and Themostocle Wirsta (1923-2017). Andreenko exhibited with some of these artists repeatedly, others once, or not at all. They were friends, acquaintances, and professional colleagues whose work and lives intersected - through a complicated network of exhibitions, cultural/ national affinity, and professional support, over a long period of extremes. War, displacement from home, loss of possessions, property, and economic security were experiences they shared in common, just Alexis Gritchenko [Oleksa Hryshchenko], as several of these artists were Untitled (A street in Spain) (1934), Oil on born early enough to have lived canvas, 18 x 11.33”, Gift of Mr. Bohdan Kow- through both the first and second alsky World Wars, such as Andreenko, Ukrainian peers, with whom he others only the second.

  • Alexis Gritchenko'nun Konstantinopolis Anlatısı
    Sanat Tarihi Yıllığı Journal of Art History Sanat Tarihi Yıllığı - Journal of Art History 30, (2021): 1-27 DOI: 10.26650/sty.2021.876268 Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article Bizans Pembesi: Alexis Gritchenko’nun Konstantinopolis Anlatısı Byzantine Pink: Alexis Gritchenko’s Narrative of Constantinople 1 Emir Alışık ÖZ 1919 Kasım'ı ile 1921 Nisan'ı arasını İtilaf kuvvetlerinin işgali altındaki İstanbul'da geçiren Ukraynalı ressam Alexis Gritchenko (Oleksa Hryshchenko), 1923’te Paris’te Constantinople Bleu et Rose (Konstantinopolis Mavi ve Pembe) sergisini açtı ve 1930’da halen yaşadığı Paris’te İstanbul’da tuttuğunu söylediği günlüğünü yayımladı. Günlük’te Bizans Konstantinopolis’ine, onun tarihine, kültürüne, sanatına, mimarisine dair pek çok bilgi verir. Gritchenko’nun aktarımları hem güncel tarihyazımına hem de kişisel gözlemlerine dayanır ve tüm bunları duyusal bir deneyim olarak sunar. Gözlemleriyle beslediği tarih bilgisi, Günlük’te antik, Bizans ve Osmanlı’dan parçalar taşıyan eklektik ve tarihdışı bir Konstantinopolis olarak karşımıza çıkar. Gritchenko, Bizantinizm olarak değerlendirilebilecek eserler üreten modernist bir ressamdır, bu yönüyle çağının bir temsilcisidir; Vladimir Tatlin, Vasily Kandinsky gibi Gritchenko da Bizans sanatı üzerine düşünmüştür. Gritchenko’nun sözlü betimindeki duyusallık ve eklektik tarih algısı İstanbul’da ürettiği resimlerde de gözlenebilir. Özellikle şehrin Bizans surları ve Ayasofya’yı tasvir ettiği eserlerde Bizans ve Osmanlı ögeleri iç içe geçer. Gritchenko’nun Günlük’te kurguladığı Tarihi Yarımada, mekânları, yapıları, insanları ve onların gündelik hayatlarıyla tarihin akışının dışında kalmış, ancak tüm parçaları birbiriyle uyum içinde kurgulanmış fantastik atmosferiyle bir hierotopos’tur. Bu yazıda Günlük’te Bizans tarihi, yapıları ve kültürüne yapılan atıflar saptanmış ve bunlar hem çağdaş hem de Gritchenko’nun erişimi olabilecek yazın çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir.

  • Abstract Vladimir Makovsky
    ABSTRACT VLADIMIR MAKOVSKY: THE POLITICS OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY RUSSIAN REALISM Tessa J. Crist, M.A. School of Art and Design Northern Illinois University, 2015 Barbara Jaffee, Director This thesis examines the political work produced by a little-known Russian Realist, Vladimir Makovsky (1846-1920), while he was a member of the nineteenth-century art collective Peredvizhniki. Increasingly recognized for subtle yet insistent opposition to the tsarist regime and the depiction of class distinctions, the work of the Peredvizhniki was for decades ignored by modernist art history as the result of an influential article, “Avant-Garde and Kitsch,” written by American art critic Clement Greenberg in 1939. In this article, Greenberg suggests the work of Ilya Repin, the most renowned member of the Peredvizhniki, should be regarded not as art, but as “kitsch”--the industrialized mass culture of an urban working class. Even now, scholars who study the Peredvizhniki concern themselves with the social history of the group as a whole, rather than with the merits of specific artworks. Taking a different approach to analyzing the significance of the Peredvizhniki and of Makovsky specifically this thesis harnesses the powerful methodologies devised in the 1970s by art historians T.J. Clark and Michael Fried, two scholars who are largely responsible for reopening the dialogue on the meaning and significance of Realism in the history of modern art.

To my father, Anatolii Sviridenok, a devoted Academician for 50 years ABSTRACT This interdisciplinary dissertation explores the World of Art (Mir Iskusstva, 1899- 1904), The Golden Fleece (Zolotoe runo, 1906-1909) and Apollo (Apollon, 1909- 1917), three art periodicals that became symbols of the print revival and Europeanization in late Imperial Russia. Preoccupied with high quality art reproduction and graphic design, these journals were conceived and executed as art objects and examples of fine book craftsmanship, concerned with the physical form and appearance of the periodical as such. Their publication advanced Russian book art and stimulated the development of graphic design, giving it a status comparable to that of painting or sculpture.

  • The Pamphlet Files 1
    The Pamphlet Files 1 The Pamphlet Files The Pamphlet Files were established as an original resource, part of the Library’s traditional and strong interest in the preservation of ephemera. Some of the material in these files dates back to the late nineteenth century. The Pamphlet Files are often the only record that a gallery or organization existed. They are not catalogued, and there are no references to them in our online catalogue. The files include exhibition brochures, fliers, small exhibition catalogues, gallery announcements, newsletters and other ephemera relating predominately to New York City and state galleries, museums, colleges and universities, professional associations, foundations, non-profit organizations, and other arts organizations. In addition, there are files for one-time arts events and movements, such as “New York State Exposition” and “Art for Peace.” Unless otherwise noted, all files originated from one of the five boroughs of New York City. The list of entries is arranged in alphabetical order; for galleries that have a given name and a surname, i.e. “Martha Jackson Gallery,” the entry will be alphabetized according to the first name.

  • 1 Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era
    Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Clinton J. Buhler, M.A. Graduate Program in History of Art * * * * * The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Myroslava M. Mudrak, Advisor Dr. Kris Paulsen Dr. Jessie Labov Dr. Aron Vinegar 1 Copyright by Clinton J. Buhler 2013 2 Abstract Beneath the façade of total conformity in the Soviet Union, a dynamic underground community of artists and intellectuals worked in forced isolation. Rejecting the mandates of state-sanctioned Socialist Realist art, these dissident artists pursued diverse creative directions in their private practice. When they attempted to display their work publicly in 1974, the carefully crafted façade of Soviet society cracked, and the West became aware of a politically subversive undercurrent in Soviet cultural life. Responding to the international condemnation of the censorship, Soviet officials allowed and encouraged the emigration of the nonconformist artists to the West. This dissertation analyzes the foundation and growth of the nonconformist artistic movement in the Soviet Union, focusing on a key group of artists who reached artistic maturity in the Brezhnev era and began forging connections in the West. The first two chapters of the dissertation center on works that were, by and large, produced before emigration to the West. In particular, I explore the growing awareness of artists like Oleg Vassiliev of their native artistic heritage, especially the work of Russian avant-garde artists like Kazimir Malevich. I look at how Vassiliev, in a search for an alternative form of expression to the mandated form of art, took up the legacy of nineteenth-century Realism, avant-garde abstraction, and Socialist Realism.
