Its objectives are the study, research, documentation and conservation of Andalucian cultural heritage, as well as specialized training in the protec- tion of that heritage. Its responsibilities also include the dissemination of all things related to heritage research, and collaboration with distinct public and private organizations and institutions. Viewing heritage as a community of action where diverse disciplines collabo- rate with the aim of perpetuating the memory of the future, the IAPH acts in an interdisciplinary manner, paying special attention to the methodology of study, research, and implementation in cultural heritage. Likewise, it supports 6 a permanent updating of heritage thought, integrating a variety of policies into distinct programs of applied research – among them, the conservation and IAPH restoration of cultural heritage – and provides an active link between cultural heritage professionals and institutions and the Andalucian community. The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) is a program of The J. Paul Getty Trust, GCI a cultural and philanthropic organization dedicated to the visual arts and the humanities, including an art museum, and programs of education, research and of conservation. At the international level, the GCI works to advance conservation practice and education, and to strengthen and promote conservation, understanding and interpretation of the visual arts in all its dimensions: objects, collections, archi- tecture and sites. To this end, the Institute develops scientific research, educa- tion and training, and field projects, and diffuses its results through a website, publications, conferences and workshops. The Institute has developed experience in the field of preventive conservation, the management and conservation of archaeological sites, the conservation of building materials, the preservation of collections, and the adaptation of con- servation technologies. Each project is unique but varied in size, complexity and topic. Nevertheless, each one is considered within an inter-disciplinary field and looks for new ways to generate methodologies and to promote the application of the highest possible principles to strengthen cultural heritage preservation. Foreword 7 It is our pleasure to present this publication, Methodology for the Conservation of Polychromed Wooden Altarpieces, which represents a collaborative effort of the Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico (IAPH) and the Getty Conserva- tion Institute (GCI), as well as the involvement of a number of our colleagues working in conservation. This publication is part of a series of monographs published by the IAPH, and is one of the many ways that both institutions seek to advance the conservation field by disseminating information to a broad audience of professionals. Methodology for the Conservation of Polychromed Wooden Altarpieces contains the proceedings of a May 2002 seminar on the conservation of wooden poly- chromed retablos that was attended by professionals from the Americas and Europe specializing in the conservation of altarpieces. The meeting – held in Seville, Spain, and jointly organized by Françoise Descamps of the GCI and Lorenzo Perez del Campo of the IAPH – focused on issues related to altarpiece conservation and the need for a conservation methodology adapted to these works of art. At the Seville meeting, scientific representatives from the field shared their experiences with an international audience, with particular emphasis on Latin America. Conservation specialists from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru attended, as well as individuals from conservation–related institutions in Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. The results of the seminar, presented in this publication, include the principles and considerations agreed to by the participants during the event – the Documento de Retablos 2002. During the seminar, participants recognized the need to better disseminate knowledge related to the field and to provide a series of tools that could con- tribute to altarpiece conservation. Following the event, a bibliography and a multilingual glossary were compiled in collaboration with workshop partici- pants. The bibliography covers the construction, building materials, and con- servation of altarpieces, while the glossary describes altarpieces in their design, building systems, and materials composition. These documents, avail- able on CD-ROM, will also be accessible on the web pages of both institutions. It is our hope that this multifaceted effort will provide a variety of useful tools for individuals and organizations charged with the responsibility for caring for retablos. As is typically the case with such events, the Seville workshop was made pos- sible by the dedicated work of professionals from the organizing institutions, as well as the collaboration of its participants, and required the intelligence, talent, and enthusiasm of a great many people.

  • SELF-FLAGELLATION in the EARLY MODERN ERA Patrick
    SELF-FLAGELLATION IN THE EARLY MODERN ERA Patrick Vandermeersch Self-fl agellation is often understood as self-punishment. History teaches us, however, that the same physical act has taken various psychologi- cal meanings. As a mass movement in the fourteenth century, it was primarily seen as an act of protest whereby the fl agellants rejected the spiritual authority and sacramental power of the clergy. In the sixteenth century, fl agellation came to be associated with self-control, and a new term was coined in order to designate it: ‘discipline’. Curiously, in some religious orders this shift was accompanied by a change in focus: rather than the shoulders or back, the buttocks were to be whipped instead. A great controversy immediately arose but was silenced when the possible sexual meaning of fl agellation was realized – or should we say, constructed? My hypothesis is that the change in both the name and the way fl agellation was performed indicates the emergence of a new type of modern subjectivity. I will suggest, furthermore, that this requires a further elaboration of Norbert Elias’s theory of the ‘civiliz- ing process’. A Brief Overview of the History of Flagellation1 Let us start with the origins of religious self-fl agellation. Although there were many ascetic practices in the monasteries at the time of the desert fathers, self-fl agellation does not seem to have been among them. With- out doubt many extraordinary rituals were performed. Extreme degrees 1 The following historical account summarizes the more detailed historical research presented in my La chair de la passion.

Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism

  • The Architectural Style of Bay Pines VAMC
    The Architectural Style of Bay Pines VAMC Lauren Webb July 2011 The architectural style of the original buildings at Bay Pines VA Medical Center is most often described as “Mediterranean Revival,” “Neo-Baroque,” or—somewhat rarely—“Churrigueresque.” However, with the shortage of similar buildings in the surrounding area and the chronological distance between the facility’s 1933 construction and Baroque’s popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is often wondered how such a style came to be chosen for Bay Pines. This paper is an attempt to first, briefly explain the Baroque and Churrigueresque styles in Spain and Spanish America, second, outline the renewal of Spanish-inspired architecture in North American during the early 20th century, and finally, indicate some of the characteristics in the original buildings which mark Bay Pines as a Spanish Baroque- inspired building. The Spanish Baroque and Churrigueresque The Baroque style can be succinctly defined as “a style of artistic expression prevalent especially in the 17th century that is marked by use of complex forms, bold ornamentation, and the juxtaposition of contrasting elements.” But the beauty of these contrasting elements can be traced over centuries, particularly for the Spanish Baroque, through the evolution of design and the input of various cultures living in and interacting with Spain over that time. Much of the ornamentation of the Spanish Baroque can be traced as far back as the twelfth century, when Moorish and Arabesque design dominated the architectural scene, often referred to as the Mudéjar style. During the time of relative peace between Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Spain— the Convivencia—these Arabic designs were incorporated into synagogues and cathedrals, along with mosques.

Thematically and stylistically the paintings are too Christian and urbane to be assigned the status of folk art, yet too tantalizingly "other" to be included in the canon of European art. In the Cuzco paintings Christian iconography is often strikingly reinterpreted. There is an anachronistic preference for flat hieratic figures, remi- niscent of Medieval art, and for archaic methods such as gold-lace gilding. In sum, the paintings of the Cuzco school exhibited a sur- prising fusion of European visual ideas, techniques, and styles. Primarily, this paper is interested in those anonymous Indian artisans who became increasingly active in art production after 1650, when one sees not only greater participation of native Andeans in the official guild, as reflected by contract documents, but eventually their close association with the rise of the unique artistic style which variously has been called the Cuzco school, Andean Baroque, or Andean Mestizaje. No visual representation of space can be divorced from its con- text of intellectual and social values. Indeed, in order to under- stand the circle of art which emanated from colonial Cuzco, and which intersected with the widening circles of influence shed by John Alan Crider received a B.A.
