  • The Authenticity of Ambiguity: Dada and Existentialism
    THE AUTHENTICITY OF AMBIGUITY: DADA AND EXISTENTIALISM by ELIZABETH FRANCES BENJAMIN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii - ABSTRACT - Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study.

Sands of desire : the Creative Restlessness of Lee Miller’s Egyptian Period 1 Sands of desire : the Creative Restlessness of Lee Miller’s Egyptian Period Peter Schulman 1 “As a spectator, I wanted to explore photography not as a question (a theme) but as a wound,” Roland Barthes writes in Camera Lucida (Barthes 17). Similarly, in the famous first lines of his surrealist book Nadja, André Breton concluded that the question he should ask himself should be “not who I am, but whom I haunt” (Breton 7). Could either of these quotes apply to Lee Miller’s aesthetic as well ? While her photographs during her period of soi-disant “apprenticeship” 1 with Man Ray focused on the female body, and the ones in her studio in New York on elegant portraiture, it is during her period in Egypt when she was married to the wealthy, older Egyptian businessman Aziz Eloui Bey that her photography truly blossomed into her own aesthetic which “married” the humor and the ludic notions of space found in certain Magritte paintings with the curious gaze of the ‘other’ that she would develop as a photo-journalist during the war.

  • Una Iconografía Del Ojo En Emak Bakia

Su hipótesis es que en esta obra la alusión al ojo hace referencia al concepto de visión. Con la finalidad de validar la hipótesis se utiliza el método hermenéutico. Por esta razón, se realiza una iconografía del ojo que se extiende a parte de la obra fotográfica de Man Ray, para finalizar en la obra elegida. Palabras clave: ojo, visión, vanguardia, imaginación, espontaneidad. Abstract · The following paper is an analysis of the film Emak Bakia. It focuses on the motif of the eye. The hypothesis maintains that the eye in Emak Bakia refers to the concept of vision. In order to prove this hypothesis, the article will use hermeneutics. For this reason, we will explore an iconography of the eye that develops from the photographic work of Man Ray to the work previously mentioned. Keywords: Eye, Vision, Avant-garde, Imagination, Spontaneity. 51 AISTHESIS Nº 52 (2012): 51-68 52 El motivo visual del ojo aparece en muchas obras realizadas por artistas que se incluyen dentro de la corriente estética del surrealismo.

  • The Indestructible Lee Miller
    The Indestructible Lee Miller October 4, 2015 – February 14, 2016 This exhibition explores the remarkable art and life of Lee Miller (1907-1977; American) from various perspectives: as the assistant, collaborator and muse of Surrealist artist Man Ray (1890-1976; American) in the early 1930s; and then as a pioneering fine art, fashion, and war photographer and correspondent. It features more than 90 works dating from 1929-1959, as well as a replica of Man Ray’s sculpture of a metronome, Indestructible Object, 1923, which he transformed in the 1930s after his romance with Miller ended. Before moving to Paris to learn photography from Man Ray in 1929, Miller worked as a fashion model for Vogue Magazine. In Paris, she came into contact with other Surrealist artists and writers and adopted their iconography and strategies in her subsequent work. These include altering pictorial motifs by using narrow image frames and applying techniques that included deforming and fragmenting the human body, focusing on details, tilting perspectives, and experimenting with methods, such as solarization, which achieves a reversal of black and white values through overexposure. In 1934, Miller moved to Egypt and photographed its desert and architectural structures, transforming them into ambiguous shapes and forms. London became her home in 1938 and her 1940 fashion photographs for British Vogue, staged amidst the damages of the London Blitz, led to Vogue hiring her as a war photographer and correspondent in 1942. Her subsequent photographs of war-torn Europe, which illustrated her Vogue articles, included among others, images of the liberation of Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps.

It argues that their audio-visual approaches were distinctive, and related to important concepts and strategies within the movements such as collage, juxtaposition, and the Surrealist ‘marvellous.’ Historical research is combined with close analysis and theoretical interpretation to examine the early sound film context in detail, while also bringing a new aural perspective to Dada and Surrealist cinema studies. The project addresses an important, yet neglected, part of film sound history, while also pushing art historical interpretation of these works beyond a long-held visual bias. Dada and Surrealist cinema's heyday coincided with the period of transition from silent to sound film, and several filmmakers associated with these movements, including Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, Jean Cocteau, and Hans Richter, were at the forefront of this change, producing some of the earliest sound films in their countries of work.
