  • Flexible Film: Interactive Cubist-Style Rendering
    Flexible Film: Interactive Cubist-style Rendering M. Spindler† and N. Röber and A. Malyszczyk and T. Strothotte Department of Simulation and Graphics School of Computing Science Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany Abstract This work describes a new approach of rendering multiple perspective images inspired by cubist art. Our imple- mentation uses a novel technique which not only allows an easy integration in existing frameworks, but also to generate these images at interactive rates. We further describe a cubist-style camera model that is capable of em- bedding additional information, which is derived from the scene. Distant objects can be put in relation to express their interconnections and possible dependencies. This requires an intelligent camera model, which is one of our main motivations. Possible applications are manifold and range from scientific visualization to storytelling and computer games. Our implementation utilizes cubemaps and a NURBS based camera surface to compute the final image. All pro- cessing is accomplished in realtime on the GPU using fragment shaders. We demonstrate the possibilities of this new approach using artificial renditions as well as real photographs. The work presented is work in progress and currently under development. To illustrate the usability of the method we suggest several application domains, including filming, for which this technique offers new ways of expression and camera work. 1. Introduction The familiar representation of objects in our environment is that they usually face us with one side only, except they are viewed from odd angles or mirrored in reflective surfaces. An often expressed desire of artists and scientist throughout the centuries was the combination of different viewpoints of objects and scenes into a single image.

  • Explorations of the Painted Real
    EXPLORATIONS OF THE PAINTED REAL: TECHNOLOGICAL MEDIATION IN THE WORK OF FOUR ARTISTS. By Gina Margareta Heyer Thesis presented inpartial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Dr. Stella Viljoen (thesis) Co-supervisor: Mr. Vivian H. van der Merwe (practical) March 2011 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. 2 March 2011 Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the relationship between photorealistic painting and specific devices used to aid the artist in mediating the real. The term 'reality' is negotiated and a hybrid theoretical approach to photorealism, including mimesis and semiotics, is suggested. Through careful analysis of Vermeer's suspected use of the camera obscura, I argue that camera vision already started in the 17th century, thus signalling the dramatic shift from the classical Cartesian perspective scopic regime to the model of vision offered by the camera long before the advent of photography. I suggest that contemporary photorealist painters do not just merely and objectively copy, but use photographic source material with a sophisticated awareness in response to a rapidly changing world. Through an examination of the way in which the camera obscura and photographic camera are used in the works of four artists, I suggest that a symbiotic relationship of subtle tensions between painting and photographic technology emerges.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world.

Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

Doan Theatre Academy Helsinki Pennsylvania State University http://www.ijea.org/ ISSN: 1529-8094 Volume 14 Number 9 June 20, 2013 Embodying Art and Art History: An Experiment with a Class Video Happening for the Series Access Denied Leda Cempellin South Dakota State University, U.S.A.

Retrieved [date] from http://www.ijea.org/v14n9/. Abstract A book written in a foreign language and migrated to the US along with its author, an art historian, finds a new communicative dimension by becoming a ready-made for art making purposes. Starting with an introduction explaining the genesis of the collaborative project Access Denied, this article focuses on one of the series’ artworks, namely a video-happening, by exploring its genesis, development, and outcomes. Staged during the day of finals in an advanced art history seminar, the experiment provided an embodied artistic experience and some reflections on art history course content in the debate that followed. The video happening became a basis for further reflection in this essay on the role of performance in stimulating arts-based research at the interstices between biography and scholarly inquiry, between art and art history, between modernism and postmodernism, between object and action, and between creation and destruction as the two opposite poles in modern creativity.

Although Photorealism on the artist) of standard under- and overpainting, using the photograph as a color reference. The abundance of detail and incident, can certainly be seen in connection to the history, style, and semiotics of modern representational painting (and to a lesser extent while reinforcing the impression of demanding skill, actually makes things easier for the artist. Lots of small things yield interesting late-twentieth-century art photography), it is worth noting that those ties are scarcely referred to in the work itself. Photorealism is textures—details reinforce neighboring details and cancel out technical problems. It is the larger, less inflected areas (like skies) that contained, compressed, and seamless, intent on the creation of an ostensibly logical, self-evident reality, a visual text that relates are more trouble, and where the most skilled practitioners shine. almost entirely to its own premises: the stressed interplay between the depiction of a slice of unremarkable three-dimensional reality While the majority of Photorealist paintings look extremely dense and seem similarly constructed from the ground up, that similarity is and the meticulous hand-painted reproduction of a two-dimensional photograph. Each Photorealist painting is a single, unambiguous, most evident either at a normal viewing distance, where the image snaps together, or in the reducing glass of photographic reproduction.

    Boise State University ScholarWorks Art Faculty Publications and Presentations Department of Art 8-1-2013 Styleless Style? What Photorealism Can Tell Us About “The iS xties” Craig J. Peariso Boise State University This document was originally published by Cambridge University Press in Journal of American Studies. Copyright restrictions may apply. DOI: 10.1017/S0021875812002071. Journal of American Studies, (), , – © Cambridge University Press doi:./S First published online February Styleless Style? What Photorealism Can Tell Us about “the Sixties” CRAIG J. PEARISO This essay reads s “photorealist” painting and its critical reception against two sets of contemporary social analyses. First, it places these artistic and critical works next to Pierre Bourdieu’s text Photography: A Middle-Brow Art, demonstrating that, although the critical literature surrounding “photorealism” tended to assume that its involvement with photography grew out of a desire for an objective realism, contemporary thought on photography was anything but convinced of the medium’s transparency. Second, it looks to cultural critics like Susan Sontag and Jacob Brackman to propose that, rather than seeing the art of this period in opposition to the heated political battles of “the sixties,” the presumably “styleless” works of artists like Robert Bechtle and Ralph Goings may lead us to reconsider the forms of those battles themselves. In his essay “Photographic Guilt: The Painter and the Camera,” Jonathan Weinberg suggests that the difference between Robert Bechtle’s paintings and the documentary photographs of Robert Frank lies primarily in Bechtle’s evasiveness. “Bechtle’s covered cars are far more difficult to read,” Weinberg writes. They do not take a clear moral position.

    Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Clinton J. Buhler, M.A. Graduate Program in History of Art * * * * * The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Myroslava M. Mudrak, Advisor Dr. Kris Paulsen Dr. Jessie Labov Dr. Aron Vinegar 1 Copyright by Clinton J. Buhler 2013 2 Abstract Beneath the façade of total conformity in the Soviet Union, a dynamic underground community of artists and intellectuals worked in forced isolation. Rejecting the mandates of state-sanctioned Socialist Realist art, these dissident artists pursued diverse creative directions in their private practice. When they attempted to display their work publicly in 1974, the carefully crafted façade of Soviet society cracked, and the West became aware of a politically subversive undercurrent in Soviet cultural life. Responding to the international condemnation of the censorship, Soviet officials allowed and encouraged the emigration of the nonconformist artists to the West. This dissertation analyzes the foundation and growth of the nonconformist artistic movement in the Soviet Union, focusing on a key group of artists who reached artistic maturity in the Brezhnev era and began forging connections in the West. The first two chapters of the dissertation center on works that were, by and large, produced before emigration to the West. In particular, I explore the growing awareness of artists like Oleg Vassiliev of their native artistic heritage, especially the work of Russian avant-garde artists like Kazimir Malevich. I look at how Vassiliev, in a search for an alternative form of expression to the mandated form of art, took up the legacy of nineteenth-century Realism, avant-garde abstraction, and Socialist Realism.

Though the original Photorealists were initially denounced for using photography, their work eventually gained recognition, becoming part of a resurgent interest in both painting and realism that flourished in the 1970s and has continued into the post-millennium years. Photorealism Revisited explores the historical roots of this quintessentially American style and its evolution on the international stage.
