    THE ROCKWELL KENT COLLECTION THE ROCKWELL KENT COLLECTION Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/rockwellkentcollOObowd THE ROCKWELL KENT COLLECTION BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART 1972 COPYRIGHT 1972 BY THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES OF BOWDOIN COLLEGE BRUNSWICK, MAINE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NUMBER 72-93429 Acknowledgments HIS little catalogue is dedicated to Sally Kent in gratitude for her abiding interest and considerable help in the for- mation of this collection. With the aid of Mrs. Kent, and the support of a generous donor, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art was able to obtain a representative collec- tion of the work of the late Rockwell Kent, consisting of six paintings and eighty-two drawings and watercolors. This collection, in addition to the John Sloan collection and the Winslow Homer collection already established here, will provide both the general public and researchers the opportunity to see and study in great detail certain important aspects of American art in the early twentieth century. Our appreciation is also extended to Mr. Richard Larcada of the Larcada Galleries, New York City, for his help during all phases of selection and acquisition. R.V.W. [5] Introduction HE paintings, drawings and watercolors in this collection pro- vide a varied cross section of Rockwell Kent's activities as painter, draftsman and illustrator. They range over a wide variety of style and technique, from finished paintings and watercolors to sketches and notations intended for use in the studio. As such, they provide an insight, otherwise unavailable, into the artist's creative processes and methods.

  • Rockwell Kent (American, 1882 – 1971) Starlight, 1930
    The Alabama Symphony Orchestra and the Birmingham Museum of Art present AMERICAN RHAPSODY A FESTIVAL OF MUSIC AND ART presented by January 27 - February 4 | AlabamaSymphony.org * Indicates that the work will be on view at the Birmingham Museum of Art during the American Festival Rockwell Kent (American, 1882 – 1971) Starlight, 1930. Wood engraving. Collection of the Art Fund, Inc. at the Birmingham Museum of Art; Gift of Roy Curtis Green Produced between two of Rockwell Kent’s several extended stays in Greenland, Starlight and its austere landscape suggests such Arctic climes. Because we cannot see the central figure’s face, we are encouraged to place ourselves in his position, and thus to follow his gaze off into the starry night sky and contemplate the vastness and sublime beauty of the universe. This device hints at Kent’s interest in capturing states or conditions that transcend the individual. He once stated, “I don’t want petty self-expression. I want the elemental, infinite thing; I want to paint the rhythm of eternity.” Richard Danielpour found inspiration for First Light, composed in 1988, from Robert Duncan’s poem Four Pictures of the Real Universe. It captures the same reverence for the infinity of the night sky, broken only by the dawn: “…chords that hold the stars in their courses / outfoldings of sound from the seed of first light.” 1 Abraham Rattner (American, 1893 – 1978), Design for the Memory, 1943. Oil on canvas. Collection of the Birmingham Museum of Art; Gift of Leslie and Elton B. Stephens, Jr. The son of Jewish immigrants, Abraham Rattner did not confine his artistic use of subjects and symbols to his own faith, but also drew upon Christianity to explore various themes, including current events.

  • Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre
    Masters i Constructing the Sensorium: Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre A dissertation submitted by Paul Masters in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama Tufts University May 2016 Adviser: Natalya Baldyga Masters ii Abstract: Associated with a broad range of theatrical events and experiences, the term immersive has become synonymous with an experiential, spectacle-laden brand of contemporary theatre. From large-scale productions such as Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More (2008, 2011) to small-scale and customizable experiences (Third Rail Projects, Shunt, and dreamthinkspeak), marketing campaigns and critical reviews cite immersion as both a descriptive and prescriptive term. Examining technologies and conventions drawn from a range of so-called immersive events, this project asks how these productions refract and replicate the technological and ideological constructs of the digital age. Traversing disciplines such as posthumanism, contemporary art, and gaming studies, immersion represents an extension of a cultural landscape obsessed with simulated realities and self-surveillance. As an aesthetic, immersive events rely on sensual experiences, narrative agency, and media installations to convey the presence and atmosphere of otherworldly spaces. By turns haunting, visceral, and seductive spheres of interaction, these theatres also engage in a neoliberal project: one that pretends to greater freedoms than traditional theater while delimiting freedom and concealing the boundaries
