  • The Dynamics of Adolescence and Mothers
    Future Clan: A Visual Investigation into the Dynamics of Adolescence and Mothers by Gabrielle Falconer A thesis submitted to the Department of Fine Arts In conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Tasmania April, 2012 Abstract This project is a visual interpretation of my journey of motherhood at the time of my son‟s adolescence. Adolescence encompasses a reshaping of roles and relationships for both mother and son and these shifts are often accompanied by confusion and conflict. The relationship between parent and child is central, and is presented in this submission from the perspective of the mother. The balance between dependency and independence for the adolescent, and a mother‟s response to these oscillations, has been central to the overall project. There are a number of questions that arise from this personal investigation that have a theoretical underpinning, including; How can portraiture explore the complex realm of selfhood and the subject? and What place does such an intimate exploration of a lived experience have in contemporary art? and Why has this aspect of women‟s lives been so little explored by artists? The exegesis reviews feminist writing on motherhood and art, such as theorists Marianne Hirsch, Carol Armstrong Rozsika Parker and Andrea Liss. It is significant that as recently as the 2009 publication Feminist Art and the Maternal, Andrea Liss questions why the perspective of the mother has been under- represented within contemporary art practice. Following this there is a discussion of portraiture and expressionism and how these operate within this research project. Finally there is a discussion of printmaking processes that allow for an expression of the embodied experience of motherhood and how the use of a camera to record poses, expresses the fragmented experience of parenting.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find e good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Impressionism
    IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

Spontanément associés à la peinture de paysage, les impressionnistes ont toutefois consacré une part importante de leur travail à des sujets neufs, pris dans leur environnement urbain, social ou intellectuel, dont ils se sont attachés à peindre les transformations. Ces artistes, souvent décrits comme des adeptes du plein-air, s'emparent dès leurs premières œuvres de la représentation des intérieurs, appartements modernes, nouveaux lieux de sociabilité dans lesquels évoluent leurs contemporains, pour en faire un de leurs sujets de prédilection. Cette nouveauté ouvre la voie à Bonnard et Vuillard, pour qui le cercle feutré dans lequel évolue le citadin constitue une source inépuisable d’inspiration. Ces tableaux sont autant d’occasions de sortir des ateliers et d’offrir une vision neuve d’un univers familial et des relations entre les individus alors en plein bouleversement sous les effets de la croissance urbaine et industrielle et des transformations sociales et culturelles.

    1841–77 Chapter 1 1841–77 Renoir to age 36; a Bohemian Leader among the Impressionists; Model Lise and their Secret Children, Pierre and Jeanne In November 1861, when he was only twenty, Renoir made one of the most fortuitous decisions he ever took: to study in the Parisian studio of the Swiss painter, Charles Gleyre. A photograph around this time reveals that Renoir was a serious, intense young man. Gleyre’s studio was simply one of many that fed into the École des Beaux-Arts (the government-sponsored art school in Paris), where students learned anatomy and perspective through drawing and paint- ing. Te men Renoir met at Gleyre’s would become some of the most important companions of his life. About a year after he arrived, first Alfred Sisley in October, then Frédéric Bazille in November and lastly Claude Monet in December 1862 became fellow students.1 On 31 December 1862, the four were already close friends when they met at Bazille’s home in Paris to celebrate the New Year together.2 Trough these friends, Renoir met Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro, studying nearby at the Académie Suisse. Tese artists would not only become lifelong friends, but would also be of critical importance for Renoir’s artistic Renoir, 1861. Photographer unknown development.

  • Un Rêve Français À La Lumière De L'art Japonais Pendant Le 19Ème
    Un Rêve Français à la Lumière de l’Art Japonais Pendant le 19ème Siècle au début du 20ème siècle. By : Brendon J. Page Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of Global Languages and Culture (French) Hood College April 2019 L’introduction du Japon et la France ; Une Vue Générale Aujourd’hui, le Japon est l’un des pays les plus influents du monde. Que cela soit dans la technologie ou la nourriture, il n’y a aucun doute que notre société ait vu l’influence du Japon. Je pense que si je devais décrire le Japon, en un mot, j’utiliserais est le mot « l’innovation ». Pendant des siècles, le Japon a adopté les techniques de cuisson des autres pays, les techniques artistiques, la nourriture, la culture, le mode de vie, et aussi leur a ajouté une marque qui est unique au Japon seulement. Cette manière d’adopter des styles et des techniques montre qu’ils n’étaient pas complètement originaux, mais la façon dont le Japon a créé sa signature sur cette terre, et son adaptation est évident à ce jour. Particulièrement, le style célèbre d’art, l’art japonais. L’influence de l’art japonais dans la communauté artistiques a été évident pendant les siècles, et beaucoup d’artistes en France ont été lourdement influencés par les modelés répétitifs, les couleurs, et la manière dont l’espace vide a été parfaitement utilisé dans beaucoup de tableaux japonais. Dans cette thèse, je discuterai comment l’art japonais au 19ème siècle a influencé l’art français pendent les 19ème et 20èmes siècles.

  • Selections from the Permanent Collection
    Selections from the Permanent Collection Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Resource Unit A Note to Teachers The collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum include thousands of works of art. Although this resource unit focuses only on a few of these works, those included have been selected because they are: • critical to the development of the museum’s collection; • important exponents of a specific art movement; • examples of outstanding work by a recognized artist; • frequently on display at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. This resource unit is designed to provide educators conducting self-guided tours with the background, questions, and extensions they need to fully engage students in exploring these paintings. Many of the questions included in the View + Discuss sections can also be applied to other works. If you plan to use the selections in this resource unit as the basis for a museum visit, it is strongly suggested that you visit the museum prior to bringing your students to confirm that the works are on view and to orient yourself to the galleries. A partial list of permanent collection works on view is available at www.guggenheimcollection.org. A Brief History Solomon R. Guggenheim (1861–1949) was born into a large, affluent family of Swiss origin, which amassed its fortune in American mining during the 19th century. Guggenheim and his wife Irene Rothchild became enthusiastic patrons of the arts, accumulating a collection of works by Old Masters. In 1927 Irene commissioned a newly arrived German painter, Hilla Rebay, to paint her husband Solomon’s portrait. Solomon visited Rebay’s studio in Carnegie Hall, where the walls were hung with non-objective paintings.

    Jean-Claude Gélineau Jeanne TRÉHOT la fille cachée de Pierre Auguste RENOIR Éditions du Cadratin Préface C’est à Jeanne Tréhot que je dois le plaisir et le bonheur d’avoir fait la connaissance de Jean-Claude Gélineau, chercheur passionné, rigoureux et perspicace. Au début des années 2000, il découvre l’existence de cette fille de Renoir et d’un de ses premiers modèles, Lise Tréhot… "Une de ces découvertes qui font la joie des chercheurs " écrit Anne Distel1 dans le catalogue de l’exposition Renoir, O Pintor da Vida inaugurée en avril 2002 au musée de São Paulo. La révélation est alors publiée sous la forme d'une communication dans cet ouvrage de référence. Cependant, le catalogue n’est trouvable qu’au Brésil. De quoi éprouver une véritable frustration. Néanmoins, les travaux du chercheur sont référencés et figureront désormais dans toutes les bibliographies consacrées à Renoir. Cinq ans se sont écoulés durant lesquels Jean- Claude Gélineau a peaufiné son travail, livrant des versions successives, sans cesse améliorées, de la monographie de Jeanne, une première dans le bulletin de l’Association des amis du musée des Collettes de Cagnes-sur-Mer, une seconde dans celui de la Société historique et archéologique de l’Orne et enfin cet ouvrage paraissant en 2007, à Essoyes, aux éditions du Cadratin. L'histoire de Jeanne est relativement banale. Fruit des amours d'un peintre et de son modèle, née à Paris, très vite placée en nourrice dans la France 5 profonde, Jeanne ne quittera jamais la Normandie, sa terre d'accueil. D'une remarquable discrétion, elle ne tirera aucune gloire de son origine.
