This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's Hofmann was renowned not only as an artist but approach towards the obsolete. Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

  • The Museum of Modern Art U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y
    The Museum of Modern Art U west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 13 FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 11, 1972 RECENT ACQUISITIONS X A construction and a painting from the early twentieth century by two Russians and a group of six paintings from the sixties make up the exhibition of new acquisitions to The Museum of Modern Art Painting and Sculpture Collection on view on the first floor through March 5. The Russian works are a life-size figure constructed of painted wood elements (with some crushed eggshells applied for pointillist effect) by the virtually forgotten sculptor and painter Vladimir Baranoff-Rossine (1888-1942), and a large gouache by Ivan Puni (1894- 1956) called Flight of Forms. These purchases constitute major additions by artists not previously represented in the Museum's collection of the crucial, short-lived development of abstract art in Russia before and after the Revolution of 1917. Historically, the Bara- noff-Rossine is especially interesting. Called Symphony Number 1, it was done in Paris in 1913 under the influence of Cubism and establishes the artist as a pioneer experimenter, together with Picasso and Archipenko, with the concept of constructed sculpture, using found components and unconventional materials. In its ambitious scale and intricacy of construction and painted surface, however, it goes beyond anything produced until then by either Picasso or Archipenko. Its title parallels the use of musical nomenclature by the artist's fellow Russian, Wassily Kandinsky, and other works by Baranoff-Rossine confirm his interest in finding a means of integrating musical concepts with those of the visual arts.

  • Victoria, 1991–2000; Cast 2007 Stainless Steel; 14 X 6½ X 7½ Feet, Edition of 3 Museum Purchase with the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts 2008.6
    Information on Philip Grausman American, born 1935 Victoria, 1991–2000; cast 2007 Stainless steel; 14 X 6½ X 7½ feet, edition of 3 Museum Purchase with the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts 2008.6 Subject Matter Seen from behind, the smooth stainless steel trunk of Philip Grausman’s Victoria rises to a height of about ten feet. A giant orb of shiny metal balloons outward. The polished metal surface shows a particular woman in a very smooth stylized form. This massive sculpture weighs about 4500 pounds and stands at an overall height of 14 feet. From the front, the sculpture is clearly a head with a very long neck. The forehead is rounded and smooth, curving down and back, ending in a neat pageboy coiffure. The eyes are closed and somewhat sunken. A thin ridge rides over the bridge of the nose. This ridge and a broad brow encircle the eyes to form a mask-like structure. The mouth is closed, with lips neither very full nor very thin. Relatively small bumps represent the ears. High cheekbones, well-proportioned nose and lips, and a rounded chin complete this female figure. Light and dark areas formed from shadows on the metal give the figure a striking, chiseled appearance. The figure displays bilateral symmetry from the front and back and appears balanced when viewed from the sides. The elongated neck, closed sunken eye surrounded by furrows, and tiny ear bumps give the sculpture a surreal appearance. Other features appear proportional and realistic. Victoria, as well as other Grausman sculptures ,“have been shaped with a silky emphasis on idealization— contours slope elegantly, symmetry quietly emphasized, with facial features stoic and streamlined.

  • An Evolved Understanding: an Examination of the National
    AN EVOLVED UNDERSTANDING: AN EXAMINATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE’S APPROACH TO THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AT CHATHAM MANOR, FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Olivia Holly Heckendorf August 2019 © 2019 Olivia Holly Heckendorf ii ABSTRACT Chatham Manor became part of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in December 1975 after the death of its last private owner, John Lee Pratt. Constructed between 1768 and 1771, Chatham Manor has always been intertwined with the landscape and has gained significance throughout its 250-year lifespan. With each subsequent owner and period of time Chatham Manor has gained significance as a cultural landscape. Since its acquisition in 1975, the National Park Service has grappled with the significance and interpretation of Chatham Manor as a cultural landscape. This thesis provides an analysis of the National Park Service’s ideas of significance and interpretation of the cultural landscape at Chatham Manor. This is done through a discussion of several interpretive planning documents and correspondences from the staff of the National Park Service, including interpretive prospectuses, a general management plan, and long-range interpretive plan. In addition, the influence of both superintendents and staff is taken into consideration. Through the analysis of these documents, it was realized that the understanding of cultural landscapes is continuing to evolve within the National Park Service. In the 1960s and 1970s Chatham Manor was considered significant and interpreted almost solely for its association with the Civil War.
