  • Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging Her Hair Ca

    Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging her Hair ca. 1892, cast 1924 Bronze McNay Art Museum, Mary and Sylvan Lang Collection, 1975.61 In this bronze sculpture, Edgar Degas presents a nude woman, her body leaned forward and face obscured as she styles her hair. The composition of the figure is similar to those found in his paintings of women bathing. The artist displays a greater interest in the curves of the body and actions of the model than in capturing her personality or identity. More so than his posed representations of dancers, the nude served throughout Degas’ life as a subject for exploring new ideas and styles. French Moderns McNay labels_separate format.indd 1 2/27/2017 11:18:51 AM Fernand Léger French, 1881–1955 The Orange Vase 1946 Oil on canvas McNay Art Museum, Gift of Mary and Sylvan Lang, 1972.43 Using bold colors and strong black outlines, Fernand Léger includes in this still life an orange vase and an abstracted bowl of fruit. A leaf floats between the two, but all other elements, including the background, are abstracted beyond recognition. Léger created the painting later in his life when his interests shifted toward more figurative and simplified forms. He abandoned Cubism as well as Tubism, his iconic style that explored cylindrical forms and mechanization, though strong shapes and a similar color palette remained.

  • PRELIMINARY SYLLABUS St. Petersburg

    PRELIMINARY SYLLABUS St. Petersburg

    PRELIMINARY SYLLABUS Stanford Continuing Studies, HIS 199, 2 units Spring Quarter 2018 St. Petersburg: A Cultural Biography Tuesdays, 7:00 pm - 8:50 pm Course Subject In this leCture Course we will explore the riCh Cultural history of St. Petersburg, Russia, through the works of its arChiteCts, planners, artists, writers, and Composers. LeCtures will be slide-illustrated. No prior knowledge of Russian history, arChiteCture, urban design, or art is assumed, although any of those backgrounds will be useful, and your Contributions will be welcome. Few Cities in the world lend themselves so readily to a study of their Cultural "biography" as St. Petersburg. Founded just over 300 years ago (1703) by Peter I the Great, St. Petersburg was "premeditated" (umyshlennyi, Dostoevsky's term) as the planned, rational, West-European-styled Capital City of the Russian Empire, a deliberate Counterpoise to MosCow and its tradition-bound MusCovite Culture. From its inCeption until the present, St. Petersburg has raised more questions than answers in the Russian mind: Is it Russian or West European? And what of modern (post-Peter the Great) Russia itself: Is it European, or something else? Through the arChiteCture, City planning, art, and literature of St. Petersburg, we will follow the Cultural evolution and mythology of the City, from Peter to Putin. Lectures will be slide-illustrated, drawing on my ColleCtion of photographs I have made in Russia over the last 59 years. We will also watch oCCasional videos of relevant doCumentaries, ballet, and opera. Each leCture will be acCompanied by an outline handout and suggestions for further reading.

  • Diaghilev Society Materials

    FOR SOME, LIFE IS TO BE LIVED AS AN Impresario Sergei Diaghilev (1872–1929) Russian promoter and catalyst for innovation in the arts who revitalized ballet by integrating the ideals of other art forms — music, design, and drama — with those of dance. Diaghilev (dee ah guh lef) showcased his own musical compositions before writing about art with a dazzling, innovative, unconventional perspective. He surrounded himself with influentials involved in cultural output. Thus in 1899, Diaghilev launched the magazine Mir Isskustva (“World of Art”). He became involved with the Maryinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia, managing editorial projects for the imperial venue as well as overseeing performances, quickly earning a reputation as a connoisseur of great artistic works. He took a Russian portraiture exhibit to Paris in 1907. There, he also assembled concerts featuring composers from his homeland and kept company with a circle of artists including Leon Balst, designer Alexandre Benois, choreograper Mikhail Fokine, fashion icon Coco Chanel, and artist Pablo Picasso. In 1909, Diaghilev founded the Ballets Russes, a dance company that changed the face of the performance world forever. Russes, with initial dance stars like Vaslav Nijinsky, Anna Pavlova and Ida Rubenstein, ran for two decades, satiating audiences’ hunger for new material. His artistic vision to blend the arts became international, tour Europe, South America, and the United States. Ballets Russes became known for movements not confined to classical dance, defying the convention that female dancers should always be delicate and giving male dancers more of a spotlight. Diaghilev supervised each production, integrating the story with music and design, ultimately creating a new standard.
