  • Medieval Art & Architecture
    Medieval Art & Architecture The Libraries of Professor Joachim Gaehde, Brandeis University and Dr. Lillian M.C. Randall, Curator of Manuscripts and Rare Books, Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore 1,288 titles in ca. 1,475 physical volumes From Brandeis Universisty website Remembering Joachim Gaehde, professor emeritus of fine arts Joachim Gaehde Nov. 26, 2013 Joachim Gaehde, professor emeritus of fine arts, passed away Nov. 24, of pneumonia. He was 92 and lived in Arlington, Mass. A scholar of Carolingian illuminated manuscripts, Gaehde was the eminence grise of the Department of Fine Arts for most of his long tenure at Brandeis, said his colleague Nancy Scott, associate professor of fine arts. Gaehde was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1921. His mother was Jewish, and he survived most of the war years in Nazi Germany. He emigrated to the United States in 1950 and later earned his doctoral degree from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. In 1962, Gaehde joined the Brandeis faculty as an associate professor and was promoted to full professor in 1969. He also served as dean of the faculty in the 1970s under President Marver Bernstein. Scott said that Gaehde defined the field of medieval studies at Brandeis, and became well known for his rigorous course studies; his kindly concern and manner toward students; and his wit, elegance and dedication. “As a colleague, [he] held the department to high standards, and at the same time he enjoyed the pleasures of his American life — he favored a blue Fiat convertible, which he drove with the top down in all kinds of weather; loved his Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, which were part of his daily constitutionals; and was a gourmet cook,” recalled Scott.

Abstract Little art-historical scholarship has been dedicated to fine art responding to the British home front during the First World War. Within pre-war British society concepts of sexual difference functioned to promote masculine authority. Nevertheless in Britain during wartime enlarged female employment alongside the presence of injured servicemen suggested feminine authority and masculine weakness, thereby temporarily destabilizing pre-war values. Adopting a socio-historical perspective, this thesis argues that artworks engaging with the home front have been largely excluded from art history because of partiality shown towards masculine authority within the matrices of British society. Furthermore, this situation has been supported by the writing of art history, which has, arguably, followed similar premise.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

  • The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain
    Crossing the Channel: The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain By Catherine Cheney Senior Honors Thesis Department of Art History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 8, 2016 Approved: 1 Introduction: French Impressionism in England As Impressionism spread throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century, the movement took hold in the British art community and helped to change the fundamental ways in which people viewed and collected art. Impressionism made its debut in London in 1870 when Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Durand-Ruel sought safe haven in London during the Franco- Prussian war. The two artists created works of London landscapes done in the new Impressionist style. Paul Durand-Ruel, a commercial dealer, marketed the Impressionist works of these two artists and of the other Impressionist artists that he brought over from Paris.
