  • Minna Citron: a Socio-Historical Study Of
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Art History MINNA CITRON: A SOCIO-HISTORICAL STUDY OF AN ARTIST’S FEMINIST SOCIAL REALISM IN THE 1930S A Thesis in Art History by Jennifer L. Streb © 2004 Jennifer L. Streb Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2004 The thesis of Jennifer L Streb was reviewed and approved* by the following: Sarah K. Rich Assistant Professor of Art History Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History Joyce Henri Robinson Curator, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor, Department of Art History Nan E. Woodruff Professor of History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Minna Citron (1896-1991) was a lifelong self-proclaimed feminist, a divorced mother and an artist who believed in individual expression. One of her main artistic interests, particularly early in her career, was the way feminist concerns related to her dual roles as wife/mother and professional artist. She struggled to make a name for herself in the male-dominated art world between the 1930s and 1950s, beginning during a decade in which social roles for women increasingly tended towards domesticity. By the late 1960s, however, Citron’s interest in feminism was renewed by a new generation of women. The course upon which she set herself, in many ways, was uncharted and her concern with women’s issues and the challenges faced by women perhaps resonate more clearly with us today than while she was alive.

Poetic Anatomy of the Numinous Creative Passages into the Self as Beloved by PARTOU ZIA A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Research Falmouth College of Arts 2001 2 ABSTRACT PARTOU ZIA Poetic Anatomy of the Numinous Creative Passages into the Self as Beloved This research is shaped by the actual experience of practice: as painter and writer. My preoccupation is with the nodal moment when conscious awareness is suspended, and both the corporal and psychic involvement in realising the work almost transport one to another zone of effectiveness. This zone, which I name as the poetic zone, is where the numinous enters the ordinary. The investigation for a space/place/moment that lies beyond the logic of acceptable discourse can help initiate and give shape to a new vocabulary - visual or literary. By orchestrating a methodology, which functions on several layers, I have endeavoured to create a synthesis between painting and writing.

This would assist local government in ensuring effective help for local communities and enabling them to best address the issues and concerns of local people. With so many changes affecting our community we want to make sure that we can influence the future plans that affect us. How we identified wishes and concerns On 31 st January 2008 residents were invited to a presentation at Farlow and Oreton Village Hall made by Gemma Robinson from the Community Council of Shropshire outlining the benefits of having a vision for the Parish. At this meeting residents were invited to complete a ‘wish list’ of ideas for improvements they would like to see in the Parish and also requests were made for volunteers to provide a steering group to create the Parish Plan. From this presentation a steering group was established that consisted of 12 residents and 2 local Councillors.
