  • PİŞ Çağdaş İngiliz Şiiri Antolojisi Cevat Çapan
    JÎJ - i* - PİŞ Çağdaş İngiliz Şiiri Antolojisi Cevat Çapan ADAM YAYINLARI © Adam Yayıncılık ve Matbaacılık A.Ş. Birinci Basım Ekim 1985 Çağdaş İngiliz Şiiri A ntolojisi Cevat Çapan ÖNSÖZ Bu antolojide bir araya getirdiğim otuz iki şairin yüz bir şiiri sanırım yirminci yüzyıl İngiliz şiirini bütün özellikleriyle tanıtma­ ya yeterli değildir. Her şeyden önce, şiir çevirisinin güçlüğü böyle bir yetkinliği engelleyen başlıca etken. Buna bir de bu işe girişen kişinin kendi sınırlılığını eklerseniz, böyle bir derlemenin eksik­ likleri ve fazlalıkları daha da kolay anlaşılır. Bütün bu sınırlılıkla­ ra karşın, Çağdaş İngiliz Şiiri Antolojisi’nde yirminci yüzyıl İngiliz şiirinin gelişme çizgisini, her şair kuşağının başlıca temsilcilerini elimden geldiğince okurlara tanıtmaya çalıştım. Amacım İngiliz Edebiyatı öğrencileri için eksiksiz bir ders kitabı hazırlamak de­ ğildi. Daha çok şiir severlerin ilgisini çekebilecek şiirleri çevirinin olanakları içinde sunmayı denedim. Ama bu eksiklikleriyle de edebiyat öğrencilerinin işine yarayacak bir şeyler ortaya koyabil- dimse, bundan büyük bir mutluluk duyacağımı da açıklamalıyım. Konuyla ilgilenen okurların bu antolojinin bu alanda yalnızca bir ilk adım olduğunu anlayacaklarına inanıyorum. C.Ç. 7 İKİNCİ BASKIYA ÖNSÖZ Çağdaş Ingiliz Şiiri Antolojisi'nin 1985’teki ilk baskısına yaz­ dığım önsözde o kitapta bir araya getirilen otuz iki şairden yapı­ lan çevirilerin 20. Yüzyıl İngiliz Şiiri’ni bütün özellikleriyle tanıt­ maya yeterli olmadığını açıklamıştım. Her antoloji gibi bunun da birçok eksikleri vardı. Geçen zaman içinde gerek benim Christop­ her Middleton, Andrew Motion, Michael Hulse ve Lavinia Gre- enlaw’dan, gerekse Nezih Onur, Coşkun Yerli, Gökçen Ezber ve Nazmi Ağıl’ın Basil Bunting, Henry Reed, Charles Tomlinson, Tony Harrison, Hugo Williams ve Simon Armitage’den yaptığı­ mız çevirilerin eklenmesiyle bu antolojinin eksikleri bir ölçüde azalmış oldu.

  • Rendering Rhythm and Motion in the Art of Black Mountain College
    A Lasting Imprint Rendering Rhythm and Motion in the Art of Black Mountain College Movement and music—both time-based activities—can be difficult to express in static media such as painting, drawing, and photography, yet many visual artists feel called to explore them. Some are driven to devise new techniques or new combinations of media in order to capture or suggest movement. Similarly, some visual artists utilize elements found in music—rhythms, patterns, repetitions, and variations—to endow their compositions with new expressive potency. In few places did movement, music, visual arts, and myriad other disciplines intermingle with such profound effect as they did at Black Mountain College (BMC), an experiment in higher education in the mountains of Western North Carolina that existed from 1933 to 1957. For many artists, their introduction to interdisciplinarity at the college resulted in a continued curiosity around those ideas throughout their careers. The works in the exhibition, selected from the Asheville Art Museum’s Black Mountain College Collection, highlight approaches to rendering a lasting imprint of the ephemeral. Artists such as Barbara Morgan and Clemens Kalischer seek to capture the motion of the human form, evoking a sense of elongated or contracted muscles, or of limbs moving through space. Others, like Lorna Blaine Halper or Sewell Sillman, approach the challenge through abstraction, foregoing representation yet communicating an atmosphere of dynamic change. Marianne Preger-Simon’s drawings of her fellow dancers at BMC from summer 1953 are not only portraits but also a dance of pencil on paper, created in the spirit of BMC professor Josef Albers’s line studies as she simultaneously worked with choreographer Merce Cunningham.

Without a press of its own, however, the college relied on the office typewriter for the first preliminary announcements and more generally on Biltmore Press, Asheville’s leading commercial job printer, for its first years’ issues of bulletins, catalogs, and educational statements. But for the purposes of his students’ education, and for the second-tier job printing of administrative forms and stationery, publicity flyers and brochures, programs and announcements for musical and dramatic presentations, Albers needed a press.1 He set Alexander (Xanti) Schawinsky on the hunt for one.

LICHEN PHOTOGRAPH* CENTER AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART May 196^ Opening When the Edward Jf. Steichen Photography Center at The Museum of Modern Art opened in May 196^, photography assumed increased prominence in the Museum's program. The Mueeum initially exhibited photographs in 1952, three years after the insti­ tution was founded,and began to acquire them for the Collection in 1953. *n 19^0> *c became the first art museum to establish a curatorial department devoted exclusively to this medium. But it is only now with the addition of the new Photography Center that the Department has permanent exhibition space and accessible study-storage so that its outstanding collection of photographs can be consulted and viewed as a back­ ground to the program of temporary loan shows. Describing the role of the Museum in this medium, John Szarkowski, Director of the Department since 1962 says: "The...photography program of The Museum of Modern Art is as unpredictable as the outcome of the searches and experiments of a thousand serious photographers. The Museum will try to remain alertly responsive to these searches, and to seek out and publish that work which makes a relevant human state­ ment with the intensity that identifies a work of art." The Photography Collection, unique in the world, consists of about 7,000 prints ty 1,000 photographers, ranging from the 18^'s to the present, with emphasis on 20th century work.

Seders ran her gallery with a low key, unintimidating sales approach, welcoming artists, art enthusiasts, collectors, and students to her space to indulge in the enjoyment of the art. The Francine Seders Gallery represented well-known, established, and developing artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Michael Spafford, Mark Tobey, Barbara Earl Thomas, Marita Dingus, and Alan Lau. Years later, the Francine Seders Gallery is remembered as an industry standard, as many gallerists continue to seek her advice and influence. FRANCINE SEDERS GALLERY 3 Francine Seders Gallery: A Case Study Seattle Arts Ecosystem and the Francine Seders Gallery Seattle sits on a far corner of the country, nestled in between the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, with Puget Sound on one side and Lake Washington on the other. The region’s lumber and coal industries grew with the extension of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the 1880s. Fishing, shipping, and manufacturing industries grew throughout the late 1890s and early 1900s. Following the Boeing Company’s introduction of the 707 commercial jet in the 1950s, the city adopted a futuristic vision of innovation (City of Seattle, n.d.).
