  • L'image Du Porc Dans L'œuvre Gravée De Hans Grundig
    « Du lard ou du cochon ? : l’image du porc dans l’œuvre gravée de Hans Grundig (1933-1935) » Jeanne-Marie-Portevin Membre du Parti communiste et de l'Association des artistes révolutionnaires (Asso)1 sous la République de Weimar, Hans Grundig a 32 ans lorsque Hitler accède au pouvoir. Alors qu’il est doublement menacé par son engagement politique et son mariage avec l’artiste Lea Langer d’origine juive, il reste en Allemagne et décide de faire de son art, qu’il avait dédié dans les années 20 à la cause du prolétariat et à la lutte des classes, une arme dans le combat contre la dictature, demeurant fidèle au manifeste d'Asso2. Dès 1933, il commence un cycle de gravures qu’il regroupera plus tard sous le titre évocateur Des animaux et des hommes, et qui constituent, selon les vœux de son auteur, une satire de l’Allemagne nazie. La gravure à la pointe sèche fait son entrée dans son oeuvre en même temps que se met en place la dictature. Reproductible, facilement diffusable, comparable par son austérité et les matériaux qu'elle mobilise à l'écrit, la gravure est la forme par excellence de l'art résistant et se développe à cette époque en tant que telle. Lea Grundig raconte, dans son autobiographie, l'arrivée triomphante de la presse dans leur atelier et leur travail désormais fébrile : « La veille au soir, nous préparions le beau papier épais, nous coupions les grandes feuilles en des petites, nous les trempions et les disposions. Le lendemain nous voyait imprimer. [...] Notre espace se couvrait de tirages.

In this sense, sucient conditions are presented which, when imposed, ensure that every cut set, i.e., the pre-image of a prime lter of the carrier set, is a recognizable tree language.

    Press information ART | WORKS ON PAPER | ARCHITECTURE | DESIGN RESET: THE SAMMLUNG MODERNE KUNST 2016 Press preview: 20.07.2016, 11.00 a.m. With RESET, the Sammlung Moderne Kunst presents a fresh start for the works in its collection. New acquisitions encounter well-known but rarely-shown works in an exciting and unusual dialogue between featured artists. The starting point is the European avant-garde movements of the 1910s and 1920s: Expressionism, Bauhaus, Neue Sachlichkeit and Surrealism. Transcending boundaries of space and time, Max Beckmann, Francis Bacon, Anselm Kiefer, Arnulf Rainer and Georg Baselitz become neighbours; Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline and Jasper Johns meet Palermo; Cy Twombly encounters Wolfgang Laib; while Willem de Kooning meets Andy Warhol. German and American photography meet on the “Outskirts”, where they tell the story of their reciprocal influence. Joseph Beuys remains the milestone and centre point of the new hang. Across the rotunda, Beuys’s End of the Twentieth Century sparks a dialogue with installations by Donald Judd and Dan Flavin, but also with contemporary environments by Pipilotti Rist and Thomas Hirschhorn. MODERN ART Important new acquisitions have prompted a reorganization of the collection display, highlighting new aspects of early twentieth century art. In the Expressionist area of the Pinakothek der Moderne, Ferdinand Hodler’s Student from Jena and Edvard Munch’s Woman in a Red Dress highlight art’s new beginnings in the early twentieth century. For the first time, the traumatic experiences of “Apocalypse and the First World War” are given a room of their own, including two Expressionist works in the tradition of the Christian Passion: Red Christ by Lovis Corinth and Dead Christ by Wilhelm Gerstel.

  • THE PRESENCE of SAND in WASSILY KANDINSKY's PARISIAN PAINTINGS by ASHLEY DENISE MILLWOOD DR. LUCY CURZON, COMMITTEE CHAIR
    THE PRESENCE OF SAND IN WASSILY KANDINSKY’S PARISIAN PAINTINGS by ASHLEY DENISE MILLWOOD DR. LUCY CURZON, COMMITTEE CHAIR DR. MINDY NANCARROW DR. JESSICA DALLOW A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Joint Program in Art History in the Graduate Schools of The University of Alabama at Birmingham and The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Ashley Denise Millwood 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Despite the extensive research that has been done on Wassily Kandinsky, little has been said about his use of sand during the decade that he spent in Paris. During this time, Kandinsky’s work shows a significant shift in both style and technique. One particular innovation was the addition of sand, and I find it interesting that this aspect of Kandinsky’s career has not been fully explored. I saw Kandinsky’s use of sand as an interesting addition to his work, and I questioned his use of this material. The lack of research in this area gave me the opportunity to formulate a theory as to why Kandinsky used sand and no other extraneous material. This examination of Kandinsky’s use of sand will contribute to the overall understanding that we have of his work by providing us with a theory and a purpose behind his use of sand. The purpose was to underscore the spirituality that can be found in his artworks. ii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to everyone who helped me in both my research and my writing.
