In the exhibited works, Aho also continues his decades-long dialogue with other artists who also painted the river notably Winslow Homer, Marsden Hartley, the Canadian Tom Thomson, and English painters John Constable, and Samuel Palmer. While the painterly cues Aho responds to seem to straddle both Romantic and Modernist concerns, he says, “I think I paint the way I live in the world - with a present minded-ness.” Indeed, the paintings presented in Source continue to deftly address exchanges between contrasts of abstraction and representation, experience and memory, and human physicality and natural phenomena. Aho’s paintings convey both joy and dread, beauty and harshness, through a sensitivity for the sublime in feeling and sensation in the natural world. He’s also acutely aware of the physical and psychological disconnect between the environment and the individual. “These paintings are about being both a part of something and also strangely separate from it, bearing witness to its transience.” The exhibition places the viewer in an immersive wilderness experience that inserts itself boldly into the conversation of what painting from life and representing the natural world means today. An illustrated exhibition catalogue with an essay by Eric Aho will be available at DC Moore Gallery. Eric Aho lives and works in Saxtons River, VT. After studying at the Central School of Art and Design in London, Aho received his BFA, and in 1989 participated in the first exchange of scholars between the U.S. and Cuba in over thirty years.

  • Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable
    return to list of Publications and Lectures Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable Charles S. Rhyne Professor, Art History Reed College published in Appearance, Opinion, Change: Evaluating the Look of Paintings Papers given at a conference held jointly by the United Kingdom institute for Conservation and the Association of Art Historians, June 1990. London: United Kingdom Institute for Conservation, 1990, p.72-84. Abstract This paper reviews the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by one artist, John Constable. The intention is not simply to describe changes in the work of Constable but to suggest a framework for the study of changes in the work of any artist and to facilitate discussion among conservators, conservation scientists, curators, and art historians. The paper considers, first, examples of physical changes in the paintings themselves; second, changes in the physical conditions under which Constable's paintings have been viewed. These same examples serve to consider changes in the cultural and psychological contexts in which Constable's paintings have been understood and interpreted Introduction The purpose of this paper is to review the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by a single artist to see what questions these raise and how the varying answers we give to them might affect our work as conservators, scientists, curators, and historians. [1] My intention is not simply to describe changes in the appearance of paintings by John Constable but to suggest a framework that I hope will be helpful in considering changes in the paintings of any artist and to facilitate comparisons among artists.

  • The Romantic Sensibility: the Sublime
    The Romantic sensibility: the Sublime The sublime is a feeling associated with the strong emotion we feel in front of intense natural phenomena (storms, hurricanes, waterfalls). It generates fear but also attraction. Origin: the term has Latin origins and refers to any literary or artistic form that expresses noble, elevated feelings. Distinction between the beautiful and the sublime: first made by Addison and then by Burke (A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful). The beautiful refers to the qualities of the object (the work of art) and is related to the classical ideas of harmony and perfection, while the sublime is the sensation felt by the perceiver. Different effects of the sublime: minor effects: admiration, respect; major effects: terror, fear. • What causes the sublime: fear of pain, vastness of the ocean, obscurity, powerful sources, the infinite, the unfinished, magnificence and colour (sad, dark colours). The sublime is caused either by what is great and immeasurable or by natural phenomena which underline the frailty of man. • Influence on late 18th century literature: this feeling is central in the works of Romantic poets and Gothic novelists, and is linked to a passion for extreme sensations. • Influence on painting: painters like Turner and Constable wanted to express the sublime in visual art. They were landscape painters and, although in different ways, they emphasized the strength of natural elements and studied the effects of different weather conditions on the landscape. For some aspects, they influenced the French impressionists. Romanticism in English painting • Nature and rural life were key-elements of English Romanticism and they were well represented in landscape painting.

  • Class 10: Between Reason and Romance
    Class 10: Between Reason and Romance A. William Blake and the Crisis of Faith 1. Title Slide 1 (Blake: Newton) 2. Phillips: William Blake (1807, London, National Portrait Gallery) I have shown pictures before by William Blake (1757–1827)—his Ezekiel in last week’s class, for instance. He keeps on cropping up whenever you look at the turn of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, the passage from Reason to Romance. And yet he is difficult to fit into any continuity before or after: a maverick, a genius, a mystic, or simply a madman. I struggled a lot with the shape of today’s class, until I realize that it was this quality—Blake’s refusal to fit in—that made him such a perfect entry into what appears to have been a very troubled time. 3. Blake: “The Lamb,” video reading 4. Blake: “The Lamb” (1789, Library of Congress) Blake was a Christian—or at least he began as one. When looking at his early poetry collection, Songs of Innocence (1789), we might think of his faith as rather simplistic, as exemplified, for instance, in his poem “The Lamb.” The images in this video enhance the poem’s apparent naiveté, though hardly any more than Blake’s own hand-tinted engraving. Blake apprenticed as an engraver before studying at the Royal Academy; his work as a poet is entirely that of an amateur, though he published his poetry and art together as integrated artwork. 5. Blake: “The Tyger,” video reading by Tom O’Bedlam 6. Blake: “The Tyger,” detail (1795, British Museum) Blake followed up Songs of Innocence in 1794 with Songs of Experience, in which the naïve images are replaced by altogether more disturbing ones.

  • Explore the Painting John Constable Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows 1831
    Explore the painting John Constable Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows 1831 Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows 1831 John Constable (1776 – 1837) Photograph © Tate, London 2013 Purchased with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Manton Foundation, the Art Fund (with a contribution from the Wolfson Foundation) and Tate Members. When this painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy, Constable quoted nine lines from The Four Seasons: Summer (1727) by Scottish poet James Thompson to expand on its meaning. As from the face of heaven the scatter’d clouds Tumultous rove, th’interminable sky Sublimer swells, and o’er the world expands A purer azure. Through the lightened air A higher lustre and a clearer calm Diffusive tremble; while, as if in sign Of danger past, a glittering robe of joy, Set off abundant by the yellow ray, Invests the fields, and nature smiles reviv’d James Thompson, The Seasons: Summer (1727) www.museumwales.ac.uk 1 The poem tells the mythical tale of young lovers Celadon and Amelia. As they walk through the woods in a thunderstorm, the tragic Amelia is struck by lightning, and dies in her lover’s arms. The poem has a religious message: it is an exploration of God’s power, and man’s inability to control his own fate. It is also a poem of hope and redemption. The rainbow appears as a ‘sign of danger past’. The subject has clear resonances with Constable’s own personal grief. His wife Maria died of tuberculosis in 1828, after just twelve years of marriage. It is likely that the poem had special significance for the young couple.

  • The Romantic Revolution
    The Romantic Revolution Romanticism One artistic movement that grew out of the French Revolution was neoclassicism. Another movement that grew out of the French Revolution, that defined itself as the opposite of neoclassicism, was the Romantic movement. There was actually a pre-Romantic movement that started in the mid-1700s, in which a new appreciation developed for the medieval romance. This is where the Romantic movement got its name. The medieval romance was characterized by chivalric adventure, individual heroism, the exotic, and the mysterious, whereas the classical style focused on elegant formality and artificiality. The medieval romance was considered unsophisticated and overtly emotional—again, a defined contrast to the appeal of classicism. The pre-Romantic period grew into the first Romantic period of the late 1700s. William Wordsworth William Wordsworth was born in 1770 in the Lake District of northern England. He was seven when his mother died and thirteen when his father died. He was sent away to school by his uncles. At school, Wordsworth was educated in the classics, literature, and mathematics. Outside of school, Wordsworth explored the wooded, lake-rich landscape of the Lake District. Wordsworth’s attraction to nature surfaced when he was attending Cambridge. His summer vacation of 1790 was spent on a walking tour through revolutionary France. He identified with the passionate ideas of the Revolution. He had to return to England during the war between England and France, though, and spent several dark years in England longing to be in France. When Wordsworth had a chance to reunite with his sister Dorothy, they moved in together and Wordsworth had a new outlook on life.

  • The Politics of Early 19Th Century Landscape
    • Good morning/afternoon/evening, this talk is from 10:00 to 13:00 with a 20 minute break in the middle. I have allowed 5-10 minutes for questions at the end and I will stay behind afterwards in case anyone wants to discuss any of the issues raised. • In the early nineteenth century, painting the British countryside was a new form of art that required artists to discover new symbols and create new conventions. This resulted in a plethora of types of landscape painting including topographic, pastoral, Romantic, picturesque and sublime. This artistic invention of the countryside took place when the land was being re-engineered and new farming practices introduced. These new practices resulted in rural poverty and, in due course, riots. This talk is about how artists, who were looking for ways to represent the land, dealt with or ignored what was going on down on the farm. • Let me begin by taking you back to April 1809… Notes Background • The industrial revolution meant that there was a mass movement from the farm to the town. At the same time there was increasing pressure to grow more food and conditions for rural workers deteriorated. Also, from the turn of the nineteenth century there was a growing call for a radical reform of democracy and poverty. Reform took a long time coming and social pressures grew culminating in riots and the closest the country has come to political revolution. • This talk is about landscape painting during this turbulent period and how the issues crept into their work until representation of social problems became a category of painting in its own right.
