According to historian Joseph Campbell —the Perseus and the Gorgon used the Medusa story to justify the destruction of idols and temples of Perseus and the Gorgon ancient goddess mother wherever they found them. And these are why, of course, the goddess Athena is so important: It is she who advises Perseus, for she is wisdom and part of wisdom is foresight. And in every such screening myth — in every such mythology that of the Bible being, as we have just seen, another of the kind — there enters in an essential duplicity, the consequences of which cannot be disregarded or suppressed.

    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI PEDAGOŠKA FAKULTETA MARINA VRBAVAC ŽENSKA V KIPARSTVU DIPLOMSKO DELO LJUBLJANA, 2015 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI PEDAGOŠKA FAKULTETA LIKOVNA PEDAGOGIKA MARINA VRBAVAC Mentor: red. prof. mag. Roman Makše Somentorica: asist. dr. Uršula Podobnik ŽENSKA V KIPARSTVU DIPLOMSKO DELO LJUBLJANA, 2015 Zahvaljujem se mentorju za pomoč in podporo red. prof. mag. Romanu Makšetu, ki me je seznanil s širokim poljem kiparstva. Zahvaljujem se tudi somentorici asist. dr. Uršuli Podobnik za prijaznost in usmerjanje pri pedagoškem delu. POVZETEK Diplomska naloga obravnava področje kiparstva kot področje umetniškega ustvarjanja. Osredotočena je predvsem na ženski aspekt kiparstva skozi čas in prostor, kako so to področje umetniškega ustvarjanja zaznamovale predstavnice nežnejšega spola in kakšno vlogo nosijo kot muze. Čeprav se v pregledih umetnostne zgodovine včasih zdi, kot da se ženske nikoli niso veliko ukvarjale s tem umetniškim področjem, v praksi ni tako. Predstavila bom nekaj vidnejših in vplivnih predstavnic, ki so s svojim zgledom ustvarile pot današnjim umetnicam na tem področju ustvarjanja. V pedagoškem delu sem načrtovala in izvedla učno uro, pri kateri so se učenci spoznali z motivom ženske v kiparstvu. Ključne besede: kiparstvo, umetnost, feminizem, navdih, razvoj I ABSTRACT The Diploma work concerns itself with the area of sculpting as an area of artistic creation. Primarily it is concentrated on the female aspect of sculpting through time and space. How the representatives of the feminine have marked this area of artistic creation, and what is the role of the muses. Although it sometimes seems that women have never been much active in this area, as show the reviews of art history, in actuality it is not so.

  • MELIORATION Masters Of
    MELIORATION By Ranae Daigle A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Art Major Subject: Studio Art West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August 2014 Approved: _______________________________ _________ Chad Holliday, Chairman, Thesis Committee Date _______________________________ _________ Dr. Amy Von Lintel, Member, Thesis Committee Date _______________________________ _________ Scott Frish, Member, Thesis Committee Date ________________________ __________ Head, Major Department Date ________________________ __________ Dean, Graduate School Date ii Abstract Melioration is one word that can explain what my body of work is about to the viewer without seeing the art. According to the dictionary definition, the word describes an act of “relieving ills,” such as rape and other tragedies, and “changing them for the better.” When I produce my works, I envision a process of melioration each time. My works begin in my mind with an innocent or pure structure, then they are subjected to tragedy, and finally, they find relief and renewal. My works are inspired by several specific artists, including the pioneer women artists Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Bourgeois, and the psychologically troubled but aesthetic visionary Vincent Van Gogh. These artists deal with similar personal struggles and challenges in their works, and they utilize styles that have inspired my own works. For example, two principal motifs for my thesis are the symbolic forms of the iris and the raven. The iris has been a subject for many artists, most famously O’Keeffe and Van Gogh. The raven is a black bird that has appeared in many writings and art works and has a range of meanings, from the purest evil to a portent of hope.

  • How the Image of Medusa Reflects the Seen and Unseen Inidividuals of Our
    The seen and unseen: How the image of Medusa in art reflects women in law and society PIPER KEEL Abstract This essay explores the importance of image and visibility within society, and how this equates to representation in the law, by exploring who is visible in art and the evolution of how they are represented. Representation in art is a reflection of representation in society—politically, socially, and legally—and thus representation, being seen, is ultimately linked with having a voice in society. This way of looking at art, and who is seen in art, can be used to trace the evolution of the representation of women and victims of sexual violence throughout history. Through a close study of the image of Medusa and the law during the period in which each image was produced, this essay explores how art reflects changes in our justice and legal systems and addresses women’s justice, primarily in relation to sexual assault. The development of Medusa’s story in art from Ancient Greece to #MeToo aids in tracking the development of the ‘rape narrative’ in the legal system. The exploration of this evolution highlights the link between image—the act of being seen by society—and law, and how those who are not given proper representation in art are often not given equal representation before the law. Introduction To be a subject of the law, one must be visible to the law. To be abandoned by the law, to live outside of it, is to be invisible to our society. We can understand who is represented in our legal system by studying who, and what, is visible in the art of the period, particularly art representing law and punishment.

  • Claudel & Rodin Fateful Encounter
    Claudel & Rodin Fateful Encounter or La rencontre de deux destins: a one point perspective (2006) Louise R. Witherell I borror the words "one point perspective" from a much admired supporter of woman's art in the United States: Elsa Honig Fine, the creator and publisher of the Wommt's ArtJoumaL During approximately 75 years, each issue of her magazine was begun under this title giving her own assessment of its contents. I have not had Mme Fine's training nor her breadth of experience in art criticism, nor do I have her skill in presenting pithy introductions to the work at hand. But she encouraged my early considerations of the life and work of Camille Claudel. Elsa Fine edited sparingly but wisely what I wrote, permitting a literary type to be published in her pages. I believe that my general summary of what was known about the life and work of Camille Claudel in the mid 1980's was the first such item to be published in the United States (see Womant's Art Jownal, Summer 1985, \fitherell, "Camille Claudel Rediscovered," 1-7.) This was, of course, soon followed by other articles in various places, including the Smithsonim. So how did I come to my own point of view as a firm believer in the genius of Camille Claudel? Rather slowly and almost accidentally. I began by doing research on and then translating some of Paul Claudel's early plays. I frequently attended the Rencontres claud6liennes from 1977 on. These were held at the chAteau which Paul had bought near the small town of Brangues in southeastem France.

Gindhart: Camille Claudel Museum Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 16, no. 2 (Autumn 2017) Musée Camille Claudel Nogent-sur-Seine, Aube, France When it opened on March 26, 2017, the Musée Camille Claudel in Nogent-sur-Seine became the first museum in France dedicated to a woman artist. The art, life, and to some degree fate of Camille Claudel (1864–1943) have always been inextricably linked to that of fellow sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), and the inauguration of the museum in the “year of Rodin,” celebrating the centennial of the artist’s death, helped cement that connection. At the new museum, however, the focus is on Claudel and her works, as well as other French sculpture of the second half of the long nineteenth century. Some visitors will inevitably be drawn to Nogent-sur-Seine because of the melodrama surrounding the life of Claudel, who was the student, studio assistant, collaborator, muse, model, and mistress of Rodin, and who spent the last thirty years of her life in an asylum before being buried in a mass grave.
