  • Seeing Laure: Race and Modernity from Manet's Olympia to Matisse
    Seeing Laure: Race and Modernity from Manet’s Olympia to Matisse, Bearden and Beyond Denise M. Murrell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Denise M. Murrell All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Seeing Laure: Race and Modernity from Manet’s Olympia to Matisse, Bearden and Beyond Denise M. Murrell During the 1860s in Paris, Edouard Manet and his circle transformed the style and content of art to reflect an emerging modernity in the social, political and economic life of the city. Manet’s Olympia (1863) was foundational to the new manner of painting that captured the changing realities of modern life in Paris. One readily observable development of the period was the emergence of a small but highly visible population of free blacks in the city, just fifteen years after the second and final French abolition of territorial slavery in 1848. The discourse around Olympia has centered almost exclusively on one of the two figures depicted: the eponymous prostitute whose portrayal constitutes a radical revision of conventional images of the courtesan. This dissertation will attempt to provide a sustained art-historical treatment of the second figure, the prostitute’s black maid, posed by a model whose name, as recorded by Manet, was Laure. It will first seek to establish that the maid figure of Olympia, in the context of precedent and Manet’s other images of Laure, can be seen as a focal point of interest, and as a representation of the complex racial dimension of modern life in post-abolition Paris.

Kilby April 15, 2014 i ABSTRACT Autobiographical journalism is gaining momentum as a form, yet little literature currently exists on the topic. Ros Coward’s 2009/2010 work forms the beginning of wider conversation to be had about the function of the self in journalistic writing. This paper shifts that discussion from newspaper columns to contemporary book- length works of autobiographical journalism, drawing a theoretical framework from autobiographical theorists who argue that narrative forms an inextricable role in development of self.

  • Edvard Munch's Fatal Women
    3*0c EDVARD MUNCH'S FATAL WOMEN: A CRITICAL APPROACH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Barbara Susan Travitz Bimer, B.A. Denton, Texas December 1985 @1986' BARBARA SUSAN TRAVITZ BIMER All Rights Reserved Bimer, Barbara Susan Travitz, Edvard Munch's Fatal Women: A Critical Approach. Master of Arts (Art History), December, 1985, 487 pp., 109 illustrations, bibliography, 212 titles. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of the fatal woman motif in the writings and art of Edvard Munch from the early 1890s to 1909. It uses a background of the women in the artist's life as well as the literary and artistic worlds in which Munch participated. Following separate ac- counts of Munch's relationships with five women, the manner in which the artist characterizes each as a fatal woman in his writings and art is dis- cussed and analyzed. Next, the study describes the fatal woman motif in late nineteenth century art and literature. It begins with a discussion of the origin of the Symbolist and Decadent Movements and an ideological exam- ination of the fatal woman motif as it is manifested in the writing and art of these two groups. In addition, it compares Munch's visual manifes- tations of the femme fatale with the manner in which the artist's contemporaries depicted her. Finally, this study describes two groups of men with whom Munch was particularly close: the Christiania Boheme and the Schwarzen Ferkel Circle.
