Malinina. A Work of Art as a Document of an Epoch Tatiana G. Malinina Doctor of Art History, Professor, Chief Researcher at the Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts. [email protected] Moscow, Russia A WORK OF ART AS A DOCUMENT OF AN EPOCH — THE RESULT OF A COLLECTIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH Summary: The conference paper by T. Malininа “A Work of Art as a Document of an Epoch — the Result of a Collective Interdisciplinary Research”. The author of the concept, an organizer and a participant, analyzes materials and summarizes the International research and practical conference “A Work of Art as a Document of an Epoch” (Research Institute of Arts, Russian Academy of Arts, 23—24.03, 2011), which became the first one in a series of contemporary interdisciplinary humanities forums dedicated to studying methodological experience of interpretation of a work of art. In present-day historical studies, a pronounced tendency to widely use visual sources has brought to the fore a development of methodology of interdisciplinary researches. Their immediate aim is to create a coordinate system, which would allow a deeper insight into the meaning of what is happening; to get answers to new questions, addressed to the experience of the past by science today; to form a more complete, integrated picture of a cultural epoch, seen through the eyes of a modern man and reflecting the modern view on history in the methods of interpretation. Art plays an important role in modern methods of studying human — society — culture. Interests of different humanities focus in a work of art like in a lens. The movement of science toward art has its own specifics at present. Relation of art to reality becomes more and more indirect. — 8 — Tatiana G. Malinina. A Work of Art as a Document of an Epoch Science seeks truth, while art has truth in itself. Scientists are researching “strategies” to work with visual sources on the basis of understanding the specifics of artistic creativity. A historian does not consider an image in art to be a “mould of reality” or the fruit of imagination anymore; as it becomes clear only in an appropriate discourse, a historian sees his task of “solving”, “decoding”, “reading” the message contained in an artwork. In turn, a work of art — its form, the symbolism, semantics, methods of transmission and the accuracy of the extracted information, become the subject of reflection and art criticism. Today theoretical thought in art is related to an urgent need of art to use methodological tools of the humanities while maintaining its proper subject foundations and meanings. Due to the development of cultural, sociological and other approaches, discourses, methods of scientific statements, the fact of creating a work of art and its function and meaning of art, appear to be secondary to its not immanent theory. Art in these structures disperses its identity to a great extent, becoming a comment and an illustration. Since the time of N. Tchernyshevskiy’s thesis defense (“Aesthetic Relation of Art to Reality”), the interpretation of interrelations between an artistic expression and a fact, fiction and a fact in an artistic

  • Some Sculpture-Anthropology Relations: Reading the Agency of Franz Boas and Lev Sternberg
    J. c. howard SoMe SculPture-anthroPoloGy relationS: readinG the aGency of franZ BoaS and lev SternBerG abstract. this article deliberates arguments for sculpture being considered ‘the most anthropological of the arts’. after introducing british contentions for the anthropological aspect of sculpture (barlow, Gell, ades and bunn), it then applies, not without a hint of irony, the concept to sculpture specifically made for anthropological and ethnographic museums, using examples instigated by franz boas and lev sternberg (for the united states national Museum in the 1890s and the Kunstkamera in the 1910s). hence mannequins and copies of Kwakiutl and pre-hispanic andean ritual figures (living and carved) are, respectively, explored. correlations with associated acquisitions are made, e.g. nivkh and Kadiwéu wood carvings, these involving their contemporary analysis by Voldemārs Matvejs and alberto Vojtěch frič. Particular attention is paid to sternberg’s commission of concrete copies of the san agustín megaliths from Karl theodor stoepel. the subsequent placement of these in the Kunstkamera courtyard is probed in terms of potential altered meanings, identity and agency. thereafter the enquiry moves to examination of the ‘sculpted anthropologist’, again using boas and sternberg as case studies. ultimately, through the combination of these two distinct and direct anthropological sides of sculpture, a restricted case is made for the plastic art’s anthropological identity.

  • Regatul Romaniei
    RegatulRomaniei file:///C:/Programele%20Mele/IstorieRomania1/RegatulRomaniei/Regat... Regatul României Visul unirii tuturor românilor sub un singur steag a frământat mințile conducătorilor încă din cele mai vechi timpuri, dar alianțele militare și interesele de ordin comercial nu au fost în favoarea simplificării relațiilor dintre diferitele formațiuni statale. În vechime, țările românești au negociat protecția celor două mari imperii ale romanilor, apoi începând cu secolul al XIII-lea au întreținut legături de prietenie și ajutor mutual cu Polonia și Lituania. Din secolul al XV-lea, ca state vasale Imperiului Otoman dar sub protecția directă a Hanatului Crimeei, s-a pus problema formării unui eyalat turcesc comun. Proiectul a fost însă refuzat cu dârzenie, ca urmare a divergențelor de ordin religios. Ca o soluție de compromis, sultanii au permis independența religioasă a celor trei principate, în schimbul dependenței economice. Situația de criză a intervenit o dată cu revoluția și apoi războiul de independență purtat de greci și sârbi. Sub aripa ocrotitoare a Bisericii Ortodoxe Răsăritene, creștinii din toate țările Balcanice au ridicat la început glasul, apoi armele, cerând vehement ieșirea din situația de compromis religios. Ca rezultat, boierii și dragomanii greci au fost maziliți, iar mănăstirile filiale ale celor de la Muntele Athos au fost secularizate. În urma grecilor au rămas nenumăratele lor rude născute din alianțe cu casele boierești autohtone, practic aproape toată crema boierimii. Pentru a umple vidul administrativ rămas s-a hotărât instituirea unei locotenențe domnești, ajutată de o Adunare Constituantă a fruntașilor celor două țări. În ambele principate, toate sufragiile au fost întrunite în anul 1859 de Colonelul Alexandru Ioan Cuza, cu funcția de Ministru de Război, fost deputat de Galați și fost șef al Miliției de la Dunărea de Jos.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Strogii iunosha was a unique experiment to create a new art form, conceived by the author lurii Olesha and developed by him and the director Abram Room. It was intended to be, at once, a literary and a cinematic work of art. Room's film was banned, but Olesha's written version was not. Analysis of previously unconsidered production notebooks for the film Strogii iunosha reveals the reason for this. Other scholars have suggested that the change in the prevailing political atmosphere between 1934 and 1936 on the one hand, or the effects o f the differences in the natures of literature and cinema on the other, explain why the film was banned, yet the scenario was not.

  • VARLA 2018 Is the Jubilee Year of Felix Varlamishvili
    V A R L A 2018 is the jubilee year of Felix Varlamishvili –Varla, the France emigrated Georgian artist. He would be 115 years old. In the XX century, Felix Varlamishvili’s name was known only to a small group of people in Georgia. In recent years, there has been an active interest in his art… In Georgia, the artist’s works are kept at the National Museum and in private collections. The project – ‘’Varla – 115’’ makes it possible to publish the given album, to catalogue artist’s main works kept in Georgia and to spotlight the archival material. Chardin Art Gallery The full evaluation of any artist is possible only through the comprehensive research of the artist’s entire work. Felix Varlamishvili, an eminent Georgian artist working in immigration, became known for the wider society during the 80s of the last century. The personal exhibition, held at the Georgian Art Museum was followed by great feedback. Georgia discovered an artist with a clearly expressed individuality; he rose from the national ground and absorbed the achievements of world fine art; although away from Georgia, he could maintain a profound spiritual unity with his homeland even while being in France – so evident in the best of his works. A talented and industrious artist, with a promising future, was still very young, when he left his homeland. Today, it is hard to say what would happen had Felix Varlamishvili stayed in Georgia; would he evolve as an interesting artist and create his own world or would he mix with the masses and be limited to state orders? Maybe, he would be a victim to repressions for his extremely tender soul and naivety… However, such was the will of the prime mover – Felix Varlamishvili had to get familiar with the world’s achievements in art, to establish his own place among Paris artists in the conditions of harsh competitiom, to live the hard life of an immigrant, to suffer from nostalgia.

  • Understanding Russianness
    Understanding Russianness Edited by Risto Alapuro, Arto Mustajoki, and Pekka Pesonen 12 Two hundred years of poshlost’: a historical sketch of the concept Gennady Obatnin When approaching the study of the concept poshlost’ (‘vulgarity, philistinism’), one is confronted with two important factors. First, for a native of the Russian language and culture, there is nothing about this term that demands conceptualization or any other form of defamiliarizing critique. For confirmation of this fact one can cite the opinion of a popular rock musician and talk-show host Andrey Makarevich. In his autobiography, Makarevich muses: Since the definition of poshlost’ is perfectly known to all but at the same time is completely subjective, every one of us thinks he sees and senses poshlost’ clearly, but in fact sees it absolutely in his own way and in different things. (Makarevich 2008: 81) The musician conducted a survey among his friends and offered a number of answers to the question of how poshlost’ can be defined. The filmmaker Ivan Dykhovichny referred him to Nabokov; another filmmaker, Dmitry Svetozarov, suggested that it is ‘something to do with form’ (and not content); the actress Yuliya Rutberg responded by saying that poshlost’ ‘is always overkill’ and ‘too much’; the singer Alena Sviridova said that it is ‘the inorganic’; a certain A. Romanov generalized to say that poshlost’ is ‘among one’s innermost feelings’; the prose writer Yuz Aleshkovsky sent Makarevich a full letter (which cannot comfortably be quoted due to its vulgar language); and the rock musician Boris Grebenshchikov offered an entirely subjective formulation: ‘Poshlost’ is fear of rejecting your habitual vision of the world even when you are sick of it yourself’ (Makarevich 2008: 82–84).
