A Passion for Porcelain: a Symposium in Honour of Meredith Chilton September 21 - 22, 2018
A Passion for Porcelain: A Symposium in Honour of Meredith Chilton September 21 - 22, 2018 Friday September 21 9 - 9:45 am Registration and light breakfast 9:45 - 10 am Welcome Remarks James Appleyard, Chair of the Board of Trustees, Gardiner Museum 10 - 10:45 am Flights of Imagination: Claudius Innocentius du Paquier and the Tastes of his Patrons Dr. Claudia Lehner-Jobst, Independent Art Historian and Curator, Vienna This year we celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier's private porcelain manufactory. Based on newly discovered objects, this lecture explores the connections of early Vienna porcelain with the tastes of its noble patrons at a time when the city was absorbing a Baroque international style and developing its distinctive character in a uniquely playful manner. Dr. Claudia Lehner-Jobst will explore the artistic and social vibrancy of the imperial city around 1718 through the eyes of the modellers and painters of Du Paquier, who created works for the elite—confident members of the cultural avant-garde—as well as fulfilling imperial orders of diplomatic gifts which charmed the tastes of their recipients. 10:45 - 11:30 am Porcelaine à la mode: The Eighteenth-Century Collections of the Baden Princesses Sebastian Kuhn, Bonhams, London The ruling family of Baden in southwestern Germany boasted three notable porcelain collectors in the eighteenth century: the Margravines Sibylla Augusta of Baden-Baden (1675-1733), Magdalena Wilhelmine of Baden-Durlach (1677-1742), and Karoline Luise of Baden-Durlach (1723-83). Whereas the first two collections were displayed in a Northern European Baroque manner, Karoline Luise—who inherited the collections of her forebears—perceived porcelain through the lens of the Enlightenment and had a more scientific approach to collecting. -

The Grotesque in Art and Literature; Tr
WOLFGANG KAYSER Grotesque IN ART AND LITERATURE Translated by Ulrich Weis stein INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS Bloomington This book was originally published under the title Das Groteske: seine Gestaltung in Malerei und Dichtung © 1957 by Gerhard Stalling Verlag, Oldenburg (Oldb) und Ham¬ burg DEDICATED TO MAX RYCHNER WITH SINCERE APPRECIATION Copyright © 1963 by Indiana University Press All rights reserved Manufactured in the United States of America Library of Congress catalog card number: 63-9719 Trans lators Note Wolfgang Kayser’s untimely death deprived me of the possibility of consulting him while the translation was in progress. Although on the whole his German is clear and unexceptional, minor difficul¬ ties arose in connection with such pseudo-philosophical phrases as Offenheit fur ein Waltend.es; and occasionally I thought it best to add the original German word or phrase in parentheses. A special problem was posed by the inconsistency in the use of komisch on the part of the writers quoted by Kayser, whereas the rendering of the nouns Humor and Komik gave no trouble. The translations of literary and critical passages incorporated in the text are my own unless otherwise indicated. I am grateful to Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc., for their permission to use an 5 TRANSLATOR’S NOTE excerpt from Bernard Guilbert Guemey’s translation of Gogol’s Dead Souls.

Exploration of Arabesque As an Element of Decoration in Islamic Heritage Buildings: the Case of Indian and Persian Architecture
Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 Exploration of Arabesque as an Element of Decoration in Islamic Heritage Buildings: The Case of Indian and Persian Architecture Mohammad Arif Kamal Architecture Section Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India Saima Gulzar School of Architecture and Planning University of Management and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan Sadia Farooq Dept. of Family and Consumer Sciences University of Home Economics, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract - The decoration is a vital element in Islamic art and architecture. The Muslim designers finished various art, artifacts, religious objects, and buildings with many types of ornamentation such as geometry, epigraphy, calligraphy, arabesque, and sometimes animal figures. Among them, the most universal motif in ornamentation which was extensively used is the arabesque. The arabesque is an abstract and rhythmic vegetal ornamentation pattern in Islamic decoration. It is found in a wide variety of media such as book art, stucco, stonework, ceramics, tiles, metalwork, textiles, carpets, etc.. The paper discusses the fact that arabesque is a unique, universal, and vital element of ornamentation within the framework of Islamic Architecture. In this paper, the etymological roots of the term ‘Arabesque’, its evolution and development have been explored. The general characteristics as well as different modes of arabesque are discussed. This paper also analyses the presentation of arabesque with specific reference to Indian and Persian Islamic heritage buildings. Keywords – Arabesque, Islamic Architecture, Decoration, Heritage, India, Iran I. INTRODUCTION The term ‘Arabesque’ is an obsolete European form of rebesk (or rebesco), not an Arabic word dating perhaps from the 15th or 16th century when Renaissance artists used Islamic Designs for book ornament and decorative bookbinding [1]. -
