He wanted the extermination of all Jews.” » Israeli journalist Noah Klieger in 2013 • referred to Jews as worms, rats, warts and trichinae (an intestinal parasitic worm) Wagner and Hitler • Wagner greatly influenced Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich – Hitler was 12 when he first heard Wagner’s music live in Austria in 1901 – Hitler was a student and admirer of Wagner's ideology and music, and sought to incorporate it into his heroic mythology of the German nation – In 1933, Hitler ordered that each Nuremberg Rally open with a performance of The Mastersingers of Nuremberg overture – "Richard Wagner taught us what the Jew is.” • Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels • Joachim Köhler’s 2007 book, where he portrays Hitler as Wagner's creation – According to Köhler, Wagner was the forefather of the Holocaust • Even though Wagner died before Hitler's rise to power, the Wagner family had close ties with Hitler • Wagner's daughter-in- law Winifred Wagner (pictured here) often invited Hitler to a festival of the composer's operas in Bayreuth, Germany • When he was in prison writing "Mein Kampf," she even sent him ink, pencils and erasers Wagner’s daughter-in-law, Winifred, and Hitler Hitler visiting the Wagners' home in Bayreuth in 1938 (shown here with Winifred) Romanticism Music • Franz Schubert (1797-1828) – Austrian composer – Beethoven: "Truly, the spark of Divine genius resides in this Schubert!" – died early b/c of typhoid and mercury treatments for his syphilis • Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) – Polish pianist and composer of the Romantic era – Played for Russian tsar Alexander I at the age of 11 – Moved to Paris and became a musical sensation • Performed in the Tuileries at the court of Louis Philippe I – Had an affair with George Sand (real name: Aurore Dupin), a French novelist – Fled Paris in 1848 to escape revolution – died of tuberculosis – requested that Mozart’s Requiem be sung at his funeral Romanticism Music • Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840—93) – Russian composer – used Western European forms instead of Russian forms – composer of Swan Lake • He composed the music for the ballet, which was fashioned from Russian folk tales • tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse – composer of The Nutcracker – composer of The 1812 Overture • Commemorates Russia’s defeat of Napoleon following his 1812 invasion • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BbT0E990IQ Romanticism • Revolt against Neo-Classicism and the Enlightenment • Crystallized in England and Germany in 1790s until the 1840s • Belief in emotional exuberance, unrestrained imagination, and spontaneity • Artists led Bohemian lives filled with emotional intensity – Rejected materialism and rationalism – choose to grow their hair long rather than wear powdered wigs • Believed development of one’s unique human potential was the purpose in life Enlightenment Industrial Revolution Progress Urbanization The Enlightenment Romanticism Reason Passion / Emotion Human Nature Nature Man Over Nature Nature Over Man Forward Looking Backward Looking Romanticism • Enchanted by nature as a source of spiritual inspiration – Saw the growth of industry as ugly, brutal attack on their beloved nature – Rejecting the "truths" of logic and mathematics, the Romantics praised instead the powers of imagination and emotion • championed the individual's subjective right to discover his/her own "truths" • An artist’s imagination was God at work in the mind The Critique of Progress Romantic artists enjoyed painting landscapes.

  • Romantic Music for Harp
    ROMANTIC MUSIC FOR HARP Thomas • Smetana Tchaikovsky Zabel • Wagner Mendelssohn Pauline Haas 1 The Vision of a Dreamer by Pauline Haas A troubling landscape, the remains of an abbey, or maybe of a castle – the horizon in the distance stands out against the dusk. In the middle of the ruins, in the frame of an unglazed window, a young man is seated in profile. Is he dreaming? Is he doubting? Is he believing? The Dreamer is a journey of initiation: it is about Man travelling down his path of life pursued by his double, it is about an artist in pursuit of truth. I have contemplated this painting, seeing in it my own image as though in a mirror. I have created the image of this individual as a picture of my own dreams. I was his age when I made this recording – the age when one leaves childhood behind to enter the wider world and face up to oneself. I became conscious that the instrument lying against my shoulder, which had inspired so many poets and artists, but had been abandoned by musicians was, in my hands, like a blank page. I placed on my music stand, therefore, the traditional repertoire for the harp, other works considered inaccessible for the harpist, works which had long maintained a magical impact on me. I have woven a connecting thread between these works, nuancing the virgin whiteness of my page without managing to reach all the possible heights. Like a figure in a painting by Caspar David Friedrich this programme contemplates a distant horizon.

  • An Eye for Landscapes That Transcend Nature,” the New York Times, May 22, 2009
    Genocchio, Benjamin. “An Eye for Landscapes That Transcend Nature,” The New York Times, May 22, 2009. An Eye for Landscapes That Transcend Nature One’s lasting impression of the April Gornik exhibition at the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington is the sheer virtuosity of the pictures. They glow with mystery and grandeur. Landscape painting of this quality is not often seen on Long Island. Assembled by Kenneth Wayne, the museum’s chief curator, the show focuses on the artist’s powerful, large-scale oil paintings. There are a dozen pictures, created roughly from the late 1980s to the present, nicely displayed in two of the Heckscher’s newly renovated galleries. The removal of a false ceiling in them has allowed the museum to accommodate much larger works than it could before. New Horizons. The large-scale oil paintings by April Gornik on display at the Heckscher include “Sun Storm Sea” (2005). At 56, Ms. Gornik is already a painter of eminence. She has had shows around the world, and her work is in several major museum collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. I would place her among the top landscape artists working in America today. That this is Ms. Gornik’s first major solo exhibition on Long Island in more than 15 years seems an oversight, especially given that she lives part of the year in Suffolk County. But better late than never, for there are probably dozens of artists living and working on Long Island who are deserving of shows.

TURNER’İN GÖRSEL ANLATILARI Painting and Poetry flowing from the same fount… reflect and refract each other’s beauties with reciprocity of splendorous allusions. J.M.W. Turner, 1810. Yıldız Kılıç** Özet Joseph Mallord William Turner, (1775-1851) İngiliz Romantik hare- ketinin niteliğini görsel formda temsil etmiş ve 19. yüzyıl resim sanatına ışık ve rengin ‘eterik’ ifadesinde maneviyatı ve duygusallığı kazandır- mıştır. Görseli sınırlayan klasik formüllerin kısır tekrarını reddederek, ‘yapısal yoksunluk’ tarzıyla fiziksel dünyayı soyutlaştırmış ve resme ‘proto-ekspresyonist’ bir görünüm ve ifade kazandırmıştır. Rasyonali- teyi simgeleyen kontur sınırlamasından kurtulan renk ve ışık, (“sınır ve hattan yoksun”) sfumato görünümüyle özgürlüğün çarpıcı ifadesidir; böylece Viktorya döneminin klişeleşmiş ‘müşvik doğa’ anlayışının ak- sine, insanlığa kayıtsız ve zalim tutumuyla ‘yıkıcı’ bir doğa anlayışını “şiirsel” anlatıyla temsil eder. * John Ruskin, Modern Painters Vol.III, Kessinger Publishing Co., (1843) 2005, p. 250.

He brought to the art an explosive, chimeri- cal expression of light and colour; creating in a visual medium the ultimate reaction to the sterile repetition of Classical formulae and the facile emo- tions of eighteenth-century art and enlightenment.

  • Shipwreck, Slavery, Revolution: History As the Open Secret in Charlotte Brontë’S Villette
    Mark Celeste Graduate Student, Department of English Fondren Library Research Award Shipwreck, Slavery, Revolution: History as the Open Secret in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette ABSTRACT Is trauma a private or public experience? How do larger moments of historical, national, and imperial upheaval reverberate on the level of the individual? How readily do we forget a violent past, despite the traces that wash up on the textual margins? In this project I move against the critical current that posits Charlotte Brontë’s Villette (1853) as an autobiographical work. Although the parallels between the lives of Brontë and Lucy Snowe are perhaps tempting—much like her protagonist, Brontë leaves England for the continent, teaches English at a boarding school, and falls in love with a spirited, temperamental instructor—such an autobiographical reading imposes limits upon the possible interpretations of two traumatic scenes in the novel, Lucy’s journey to the continent and the (supposed) death of Monsieur Paul Emmanuel. Against an autobiographical backdrop, these two scenes read as simple textual symptoms of Brontë’s homesickness and unrequited love. By contrast, I place Brontë’s work in a longer, wider historical context, considering the uses and limits of framing Villette as a shipwreck novel. I contend that the flotsam and jetsam of a traumatic past—specifically, the violence of the British slave trade in the West Indies and the upheaval of the 1848 European revolutions—surface in Lucy’s pain and M. Paul’s apparent death. At stake in my project is the status of history: in Villette, I believe that history functions as an “open secret” (à la D.

Caring for Creation in Art 51 In Harmony with Nature BY HEIDI J. HORNIK he Oxbow takes its name from the shape of the Connecticut River as it winds back on itself below Mount Holyoke in western Massachusetts.1 TThomas Cole’s painting depicts this wonder of nature, which in its pure size and beauty, literally and figuratively, dwarfs the artist who looks up at us from his canvas (positioned a few yards to the left of the parasol) within the painting. The foreground is wilderness, with trees that have blown over from the wind or from the storm on the left side of the composi- tion that shows a downpour of rain. Looking closely at the valley in the dis- tance, one realizes that the land is cultivated and a human settlement exists. Yet those fields and buildings are so trivial in comparison to the rest of the landscape that they go almost undetected.

  • 1 Laure Cahen-Maurel « the Art of Romanticizing the World. Caspar David Friedrich and Romantic Philosophy » Deploying Romanti
    Laure Cahen-Maurel « The Art of Romanticizing the World. Caspar David Friedrich and Romantic Philosophy » Deploying romanticism as an intellectual category, this doctoral thesis explores the nature of the painting of C. D. Friedrich (1774-1840) as a form of romantic art. Without turning the painter himself into a romantic philosopher, the concept of German romanticism is subject to a philosophical re-evaluation. And reciprocally: this work also furnishes a new contribution to the research on philosophical romanticism by means of a study of the plastic rather than the literary imagination. P. Lacoue-Labarthe and J.-L. Nancy’s The Literary Absolute (1978), took as their theoretical reference for romanticism "the strictly indefinite program" of the Athenaeum texts of the Schlegel brothers. In contrast to that reading, this investigation refocuses the interpretation of romanticism on the thought of Novalis (1772-1801). The main title of this PhD-thesis, "The Art of Romanizing the World," alludes to fragment 105 of Noavlis’s Poeticisms of 1798: "The world must be romanticized. This is how the original meaning will be found". Novalis explains in 12 condensed lines the precise meaning he accords to the word "romantic" and to the program of a "romantic philosophy." Accordingly, our topic is not German romanticism as a single exclusive category, but to philosophically determine Novalis’s conception of romanticism. The Novalisian program considers romanticism as an operational concept. Thus, in addition to the ordinary meaning of the word “art”, understood as a produced or created object, our choice of the expression "the art of" furthermore refers to the method of the object’s production.
