Else Alfelt, Lotti Van Der Gaag, and Defining Cobra
WAS THE MATTER SETTLED? ELSE ALFELT, LOTTI VAN DER GAAG, AND DEFINING COBRA Kari Boroff A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2020 Committee: Katerina Ruedi Ray, Advisor Mille Guldbeck Andrew Hershberger © 2020 Kari Boroff All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katerina Ruedi Ray, Advisor The CoBrA art movement (1948-1951) stands prominently among the few European avant-garde groups formed in the aftermath of World War II. Emphasizing international collaboration, rejecting the past, and embracing spontaneity and intuition, CoBrA artists created artworks expressing fundamental human creativity. Although the group was dominated by men, a small number of women were associated with CoBrA, two of whom continue to be the subject of debate within CoBrA scholarship to this day: the Danish painter Else Alfelt (1910-1974) and the Dutch sculptor Lotti van der Gaag (1923-1999), known as “Lotti.” In contributing to this debate, I address the work and CoBrA membership status of Alfelt and Lotti by comparing their artworks to CoBrA’s two main manifestoes, texts that together provide the clearest definition of the group’s overall ideas and theories. Alfelt, while recognized as a full CoBrA member, created structured, geometric paintings, influenced by German Expressionism and traditional Japanese art; I thus argue that her work does not fit the group’s formal aesthetic or philosophy. Conversely Lotti, who was never asked to join CoBrA, and was rejected from exhibiting with the group, produced sculptures with rough, intuitive, and childlike forms that clearly do fit CoBrA’s ideas as presented in its two manifestoes. -

Redressing Theo Schoon's Absence from New Zealand Art History
DOUBLE VISION: REDRESSING THEO SCHOON'S ABSENCE FROM NEW ZEALAND ART HISTORY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Art History in the University of Canterbury by ANDREW PAUL WOOD University of Canterbury 2003 CONTENTS Abstract .......................................... ii Acknowledgments ................................. iii Chapter 1: The Enigma of Theo Schoon .......................... 1 Chapter2: Schoon's Early Life in South-East Asia 1915-1927 ....... .17 Chapter 3: Schoon in Europe 1927-1935 ......................... 25 Chapter4: Return to the Dutch East-Indies: The Bandung Period 1936-1939 ...................... .46 Chapter 5: The First Decade in New Zealand 1939-1949 ............ 63 Chapter 6: The 1950s-1960s and the Legacy ......................91 Chapter 7: Conclusion ...................................... 111 List of Illustrations ................................ 116 Appendix 1 Selective List of Articles Published on Maori Rock Art 1947- 1949 ...................................... 141 Appendix 2 The Life of Theo Schoon: A Chronology ................................... .142 Bibliography ..................................... 146 ABSTRACT The thesis will examine the apparent absence of the artist Theo Schoon (Java 1915- Sydney 1985) from the accepted canon ofNew Zealand art history, despite his relationship with some of its most notable artists, including Colin McCahon, Rita Angus and Gordon Walters. The thesis will also readdress Schoon's importance to the development of modernist art in New Zealand and Australia, through a detailed examination of his life, his development as an artist (with particular attention to his life in the Dutch East-Indies, and his training in Rotterdam, Netherlands), and his influence over New Zealand's artistic community. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgment and thanks are due the following: My thesis supervisor Jonathan Mane-Wheoke, without whose breadth of knowledge and practical wisdom, this thesis would not have been possible. -

Can someone teach me that I see a tree? —Ludwig Wittgenstein, Remarks on Colour The people of this book with few exceptions are of a colonial and Indonesian urban elite of the twentieth century, which means a group to a lesser, larger, or overwhelming extent touched by and induced into the Western culture of imperial modernity (predominantly secular, among other things, which explains why so few devout Muslims appear in the book). The group in par- ticular distinguishes itself by its possession of Dutch literacy. It never made up more than about 0.5 percent of the colony’s population,1 which, however, amounts to as many as three hundred thousand men and women, living in towns and cities as a general rule.
