  • Constantin Brancusi's Primitivism by Amelia Miholca a Thesis Presented
    Constantin Brancusi’s Primitivism by Amelia Miholca A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved October 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Claudia Mesch, Chair Eva Forgacs Claudia Brown ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2014 ABSTRACT The Romanian avant-garde artist Constantin Brancusi is considered one of the most significant artists of modern sculpture. This is due to his innovative use of materials, such as wood and marble, and his reduction and precision of form. Brancusi developed his abstraction with “primitive” sources of art in mind. This thesis examines how and to what extent primitivism played a central role in Brancusi’s sculptures and his construction as a primitive artist. Romanian folk art and African art were the two main sources of influence on Brancusi’s primitivism. Brancusi identified himself with the Romanian peasantry and its folk culture. Romanian folk culture embraces woodcarving and folk literary fables—both of which Brancusi incorporated in his sculptures. In my opinion, Brancusi’s wood pedestals, such as the Endless Column, are based on wood funerary, decorative, and architectural motifs from Romanian villages. Brancusi was exposed to African art through his relationship with the New York avant-garde. The art dealers Alfred Stieglitz, Marius de Zayas, and Joseph Brummer exhibited Brancusi’s sculptures in their galleries, in addition to exhibiting African art. Meanwhile, Brancusi’s main patron John Quinn also collected African art. His interaction with the New York avant-garde led him to incorporate formal features of African sculpture, such as the oval forms of African masks, into his abstract sculptures.

  • Deviancy and Disorder ‒ the Visual Legacy of the Hottentot Venus In
    i Deviancy and Disorder – The Visual Legacy of the Hottentot Venus in the Novels of Toni Morrison Elisabeth Collier A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Literature Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies University of Essex Date of Submission: 30.09.2019 i ABSTRACT Sarah Bartmann came to Europe in 1808 as one of the thousands of people exhibited and transformed into medical spectacles during the course of the nineteenth century. My thesis explores the historical roots and intersecting perspectives surrounding this charged icon and her transformation into the Hottentot Venus through the works of Toni Morrison. Forming a living, breathing embodiment of ultimate difference, establishing nationalistic boundaries through the dissection and reconstruction of her bodily image, Bartmann highlights the way that science and popular culture work to mutually inform and regulate cultural behaviour. Utilising an exploration of Toni Morrison’s ‘aesthetics of resistance’ – at once ‘highly political and passionately aesthetic,’ Fred Moten’s consideration of the black radical tradition, and Roland Barthes’ contemplation on the function of photography, this research suggests that a difference needs to be drawn between the image of ‘race’ and that of the ‘racial image’ within cultural production and re-presentation of iconography. Evident in the association of historic and timeless stereotype, traced from early engravings of the Hottentot Venus to her life-size silhouettes produced by artist Kara Walker, aligned with Morrison’s uncanny depiction of the Africanist presence and lynching spectacle, Bartmann is no longer an image in which black female sexuality is present as an intelligibly visual object.
