More impor- tantly, the artist himself favored a formalist interpretation since the late 1930s, which has all but precluded historical approaches to his work except for a few notable exceptions.2 The critic Cesare Brandi, who inaugurated the formalist discourse on Morandi, wrote in 1939 that “nothing is less abstract, less uproot- ed from the world, less indifferent to pain, less deaf to joy than this painting, which apparently retreats to the margins of life and interests itself, withdrawn, in dusty kitchen cupboards.”3 In order to further remove Morandi from the 1.

This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

The class will produce a 20th-Century Abstract Art Project, with an optional step into 21st Century Digital Art. REALISM ABSTRACTION DIVIDE This article skips a small rock across a large body of well-documented art history, including 650,000 books covering fine art that are currently available, as well as approximately 55,000 on critical insights, and almost 15,000 books examining the methods of individual artists and how they approached their work. You, of course can read a lot of them in your spare time! But today, our goal is to is gain a better understanding of why, at the very beginning of the 20th century, there was a major departure in how some groups of "avant-garde" painters approached their canvas, abandoning realistic art. The rock's trajectory attempts to show how the camera's extraordinary technology provoked some phenomenal artists to re- examine how they painted, inventing new methods of applying colors in a far less photographic manner that was far more subjective, departing from: what we see to focus on what way we see. 2 These innovators produced art that in time became incredibly valued.

  • Stanton Macdonald-Wright: Homage to Color for Immediate Release: July 30, 2013

Peyton Wright Gallery is pleased to announce the second major exhibition of works by Stanton Macdonald-Wright (1890-1973). One of America's leading modernist painters and an early and prolific champion of abstract art, Macdonald- Wright moved to Paris as a teenager and founded the avant-garde painting movement Synchromism in 1912 with Morgan Russell. Often considered the first American abstract art style, the movement was described by Macdonald- Wright as follows: “Synchromism simply means ‘with color’ as symphony means ‘with sound’, and our idea was to produce an art whose genesis lay not in objectivity, but in form produced in color.” Macdonald-Wright and Russell wrote Treatise on Arrival Return of the Astronauts, 1965, oil on Color in 1924 to further panel, 72 x 42 inches; 73 x 43 inches framed. explain Synchromism. The book postulated that color and sound are exact and literal equivalents of each other, wherein color is responsive to and reflective of mood and thought; musical tones have corresponding hues, wherein warm colors translate to outward, convex surfaces and cool colors indicate areas of compositional repose, much like the way a break functions in a piece of music.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • Italian Painting in Between the Wars at MAC USP
    MODERNIDADE LATINA Os Italianos e os Centros do Modernismo Latino-americano Classicism, Realism, Avant-Garde: Italian Painting In Between The Wars At MAC USP Ana Gonçalves Magalhães This paper is an extended version of that1 presented during the seminar in April 2013 and aims to reevaluate certain points considered fundamental to the research conducted up to the moment on the highly significant collection of Italian painting from the 1920s/40s at MAC USP. First of all, we shall search to contextualize the relations between Italy and Brazil during the modernist period. Secondly, we will reassess the place Italian modern art occupied on the interna- tional scene between the wars and immediately after the World War II —when the collection in question was formed. Lastly, we will reconsider the works assem- bled by São Paulo’s first museum of modern art (which now belong to MAC USP). With this research we have taken up anew a front begun by the museum’s first director, Walter Zanini, who went on to publish the first systematic study on Brazilian art during the 1930s and 40s, in which he sought to draw out this relationship with the Italian artistic milieu. His book, published in 1993, came out at a time when Brazilian art historiography was in the middle of some important studies on modernism in Brazil and its relationship with the Italian artistic milieu, works such as Annateresa Fabris’ 1994 Futurismo Paulista, on how Futurism was received in Brazil, and Tadeu Chiarelli’s first articles on the relationship between the Italian Novecento and the São Paulo painters.

    Dejan Sretenović RED HORIZON EDITION Red Publications Dejan Sretenović RED HORIZON AVANT-GARDE AND REVOLUTION IN YUGOSLAVIA 1919–1932 kuda.org NOVI SAD, 2020 The Social Revolution in Yugoslavia is the only thing that can bring about the catharsis of our people and of all the immorality of our political liberation. Oh, sacred struggle between the left and the right, on This Day and on the Day of Judgment, I stand on the far left, the very far left. Be‑ cause, only a terrible cry against Nonsense can accelerate the whisper of a new Sense. It was with this paragraph that August Cesarec ended his manifesto ‘Two Orientations’, published in the second issue of the “bimonthly for all cultural problems” Plamen (Zagreb, 1919; 15 issues in total), which he co‑edited with Miroslav Krleža. With a strong dose of revolutionary euphoria and ex‑ pressionistic messianic pathos, the manifesto demonstrated the ideational and political platform of the magazine, founded by the two avant‑garde writers from Zagreb, activists of the left wing of the Social Democratic Party of Croatia, after the October Revolution and the First World War. It was the struggle between the two orientations, the world social revolution led by Bolshevik Russia on the one hand, and the world of bourgeois counter‑revolution led by the Entente Forces on the other, that was for Cesarec pivot‑ al in determining the future of Europe and mankind, and therefore also of the newly founded Kingdom of Serbs, Cro‑ ats and Slovenes (Kingdom of SCS), which had allied itself with the counter‑revolutionary bloc.
