  • Dear Andrea and Sidney, 12/16/76 We Are Sure Your Account Of
    Dear Andrea and Sidney, 12/16/76 We are sure your account of Aethy's wedding is neither the wishful thinking of a proud mother nor the exaggeratioi of the one who made it ell possible. If she is anything the wonderful little girl I rememer she deserved no less. Hope she will always be as hapoy re4 everyone war that da'. The news about Sidney is a shock. I think that as we grow older we tend to thinks of those we have known and loved for years in terms of as they were when we first knew them. Thus I have always thought of Sidney as quietly durable - ongoing forever. I do hope he can adjust to a new life without undue impatience. it is possible, imposeible as it may asem to the active. And I hope he can again become as active as I have, although. I'd rather have him satisfied with less. Florida and the warm sun should be the beet medicine for both of you. With our hopes to add just a little sore warmth. And maybe a little envy to make it more precious. With patience and a little more ears than I exercised Sidney will get his strength back. First I went too far, was too careful, too self-indulgent from it. They I went too far the other way, partly because the doctors prepraed me for nothing. Since then I have worked it out for myself. I do what I feel like doing. Now I can put in the hours you may recall - and do.

Art2-10-Tu1 Painters of the Italian Renaissance Leader - Suzanne Art Tuesday – Course Period 1 – 9:00 am to 10:25 am Description The Renaissance was an exciting time of rediscovery of the ideals of classical antiquity. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the paintings produced in Italy. In this course, we will learn about humanism and see how its principles are reflected in the art of the times. After a brief look at examples of Byzantine and Gothic paintings of the late medieval period, we will examine the innovations made by artists such as Giotto and Duccio during the “proto-Renaissance” of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Then we will plunge into a study the major works of Early Renaissance painters, such as Masaccio, Fra Angelico, and Botticelli. Finally we will look at the paintings of the great masters of the High Renaissance - Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian - as well as those of some of their most talented contemporaries.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: VERMEER IN DIALOGUE: FROM APPROPRIATION TO RESPONSE Marguerite Anne Glass, Doctor of Philosophy, 2003 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Mary Corbin Sies Department of American Studies The intrinsic value of art rests in the response it conjures in its audience and the information this response can convey about the culture in which it resides. The paintings of the 17th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer are proving particularly relevant to our contemporary culture. The scholarly discourse on Vermeer and his paintings, the exhibition of his works, their reproduction in diverse media, and their appropriation by artists, novelists, and filmmakers have created dialogues on Vermeer that promote understanding of his meaning today. Surrounding Vermeer with the various dialogues that have surfaced in culture provides a way of understanding how meaning has been ascribed to this artist and just what this meaning is. The degree of attention afforded to Vermeer through the exhibition forum has shifted his paintings into the full view of a broad international audience, made the artist and his paintings celebrities, and established Vermeer’s aesthetic as a cultural emblem of beauty open to public response and interpretation. This thesis is argued within the context of five museum exhibitions related to Vermeer that took place between 1995- 2003 and through an in-depth discussion of the appropriation of his paintings by other artists, writers, filmmakers and their critics. Critical methods from art history, visual culture studies, film studies, consumer culture studies, anthropology, and ethnography are employed to support this thesis Appropriation is an important theme in our contemporary culture; yet, there is also an historical context through which it has evolved.
