Holland Artikel
Bonny van Sighem Vis op het droge Visstillevens in Holland en Utrecht in de 17de eeuw Stillevens met daarop stapels dode vissen behoren zelden tot de topstukken van musea. Wij kijken liever naar een schilderij met flink wat menselijk drama of naar een kleurig boeket bloemen in verf dan naar een uitstalling van deze weinig aaibare dieren. Toch zijn er prachtige visstillevens geschilderd in de 17de eeuw. De meesten werden gemaakt in de provincie Holland en de stad Utrecht. Over het algemeen zien we op schilderijen uit Holland wat vaker zeevis en op die uit Utrecht wat vaker zoetwatervis. Realisti - sche uitstallingen tonen vistillevens echter niet. De bederfelijkheid van het onderwerp verklaart waarom ze nooit de nageschilderde werkelijkheid laten zien. De stank in het atelier zou ondraaglijk zijn geweest. Bijbelse taferelen, portretten, mythologische voorstellingen, kerkinterieurs, stadsgezichten, genrestukken, landschappen, zeegezichten, stillevens. De 17de-eeuwse Nederlandse schil - derkunst kende zeer veel specialiteiten. De markt was vrij en de economische situatie was gunstig, waardoor zowel de vraag naar als het aanbod van schilderijen zeer groot was. Stil - levenschilders die zich oefenden in het weergeven van levenloze voorwerpen konden kiezen voor het schilderen van vazen met bloemen, boeken, tabaksgerei, steengoed, etenswaar, vruchten, glas en andere kostbaarheden, jachtbuit, vis, of een combinatie hiervan, zoals het ontbijtje, het vanitas-stilleven en het pronkstilleven. Stillevens stelden in de ogen van de la - tere kunsttheoretici niet veel voor, maar op de markt vonden ze gretig aftrek en er konden hoge prijzen voor betaald worden. Ook aan het begin van de 21ste eeuw worden stillevens nog bijzonder gewaardeerd. Ze staan sterk in de markt en brengen ongekende prijzen op. -

20TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITIONS SHOWCASE Launching Special Editions by Cornelia Parker & John Stezaker 2
20TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITIONS SHOWCASE Launching special editions by Cornelia Parker & John Stezaker 2 – 10 November 2018 To mark and celebrate twenty years of Ingrid Swenson’s tenure as director of PEER and her recent MBE Award for Services to the Arts in East London, artists Cornelia Parker and John Stezaker have very generously produced prints in limited editions of 50 each to support PEER’s programme, which will be launched to the public on 2 November. We are using this as an opportunity to highlight some of PEER’s achievements over the past two decades with a display of previous artists’ editions and publications from Mike Nelson, Fiona Banner, Anthony McCall, Kathy Prendergast, John Smith, Bridget Smith and many others. November marks twenty years to the month since Ingrid began working at PEER, which was then known as The Pier Trust. Over this period, Ingrid has developed a curatorial strategy that acknowledges how art can and should have a meaningful and powerful place in the lives of people across the whole spectrum of our diverse society. Ingrid’s work has been far-reaching nationally and internationally, but always rooted in an embrace of the community. Over these two decades, it has been a great privilege for PEER to have been able to work with more than 150 emerging, mid- career and established artists; ranging from the one-off event to more ambitious and complex commissions. To set us on our way towards the next twenty years, we are delighted that both Cornelia Parker and John Stezaker have so generously agreed to make limited edition prints to be sold to support our artistic and local programmes. -

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies. -
Never Simply Nudity
Never Simply Nudity A Study of the Functions of the Nude Female Figure in Athenian Vase-Painting c. 480-420 BCE Amy Martin Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Recent studies regarding the motif of the nude female figure on Athenian red-figure vases of the 5th century BCE have caused much controversy among contemporary scholars. Whereas the nude male figure on Athenian vases is generally perceived by scholars as representative of heroic, ritualistic or civic nudity, the female form’s nude state remains ambiguous in comparison. In an attempt to uncover the cultural significance behind the appearance of the nude female figure on Athenian vases, multiple scholars have suggested that her utterly exposed state must surely have been indicative of a ‘disreputable’ status, especially that of the hetaira. However, this interpretation is problematic as it ultimately restricts the possible function(s) of the nude female figure to being primarily erotic in nature. -
Introduction 1 Mimesis and Film Languages
Notes Introduction 1. The English translation is that provided in the subtitles to the UK Region 2 DVD release of the film. 2. The rewarding of Christoph Waltz for his polyglot performance as Hans Landa at the 2010 Academy Awards recalls other Oscar- winning multilin- gual performances such as those by Robert de Niro in The Godfather Part II (Coppola, 1974) and Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice (Pakula, 1982). 3. T h is u nder st a nd i ng of f i l m go es bac k to t he era of si lent f i l m, to D.W. Gr i f f it h’s famous affirmation of film as the universal language. For a useful account of the semiotic understanding of film as language, see Monaco (2000: 152–227). 4. I speak here of film and not of television for the sake of convenience only. This is not to undervalue the relevance of these questions to television, and indeed vice versa. The large volume of studies in existence on the audiovisual translation of television texts attests to the applicability of these issues to television too. From a mimetic standpoint, television addresses many of the same issues of language representation. Although the bulk of the exempli- fication in this study will be drawn from the cinema, reference will also be made where applicable to television usage. 1 Mimesis and Film Languages 1. There are, of course, examples of ‘intralingual’ translation where films are post-synchronised with more easily comprehensible accents (e.g. Mad Max for the American market). -
The Roman Second Century Gate at Perge and Its Literary Associations
Rev. do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, São Paulo, 7: 49-64, 1997. THE ROMAN SECOND CENTURY GATE AT PERGE AND ITS LITERARY ASSOCIATIONS William E. Mierse* MIERSE, W.E. The Roman second century gate at Perge and its literary associations. Re v. do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, São Paulo, 7: 49-64, 1997. RESUMO: O artigo visa demonstrar como a entrada romana do século II d.C. da cidade de Perge, na Ásia Menor, pertence a um conjunto arquitetônico harmônico, construído a partir de um programa artístico mais amplo. Assim, os vários elementos que compõem esta entrada (pátios, nichos e esculturas, colunadas) são analisados à luz de suas possíveis associações com os estilos de pintura mural e de composições literárias, adquirindo uma coerên cia única. UNITERMOS: Arte romana - Arte provincial - Arquitetura romana na Ásia Menor. The Gate at Perge The ruins of the ancient city of Perge (7t£pyr|) site slightly inland of the Pamphylian coast of south Turkey, 16km east of Antalya (Figure 1). The site was first discussed by Lanckoronski (1980:61) and then excavated and published by A. M. Mansel (1949, 1956, 1975a, 1975b) and more recently by Jale Inan. Strabo (14.4.2) describes the site. The city was founded following the end of the Trojan War by emigrants from Argos led by the seers Kalchas and Mopsus and the hero Amphilochus. To date, the excavations have revealed no evidence of an archaic settlement at the site. The first mention of the town is the forth century periplus city date from Seleucid times. The old Hellenistic attributed to Scyta of Caryanda. -
Babette's Feast
“PLENTY OF FOOD FOR EVERYONE”: A BALTHASARIAN LOOK AT BABETTE’S FEAST JACQUES SERVA IS “Grace is not external to created being as love.” “Like at the wedding at Cana,” affirms an old man at the extrava- gant French dinner in Babette’s Feast, “the food is not important.”1 Yes, surely something more than drinking and eating is at stake in John 2:1–11. The same holds for the film itself, which, though it revolves around a seven-course meal offered to poor villagers, “is not a film about cooking,” nor is the dinner whatsoever “an end in itself,” as the Danish director Gabriel Axel makes clear in an interview.2 But does all this make food and wine irrelevant? 1. Hereafter, where quotations in this essay are not footnoted, they are tak- en from the English subtitles of Babette’s Feast, directed by Gabriel Axel (2007, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment), DVD. Unless otherwise in- dicated, all citations in this essay are to works by Hans Urs von Balthasar (Freiburg: Johannes Verlag Einsiedeln), published in English by Ignatius Press (San Francisco). All citations to Balthasar’s books from Johannes Verlag are from the most recent editions. 2. Gabriel Axel, interview by Jill Forbes, “Axel’s Feast,” Sight and Sound 57, no. 2 (Spring 1988): 106–07. Communio 44 (Fall 2017). © 2017 by Communio: International Catholic Review 416 JACQUES SERVAIS If they point beyond themselves, do they therefore disappear? At Cana, the Lord uses them as “signs” to reveal “his glory” (Jn 2:11), but this glory appears less as a scalding light, as it were, than a flickering candle, almost hidden.
