  • Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art the Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’S Photographic Images and Self-Portraits
    p Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art The Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’s Photographic Images and Self-Portraits Despoina Tsourgianni ABSTRACT There is a recent trend, mainly in the fi eld of historiography but also in art history, toward the exploration of female autobiographical discourse, whether it concerns writ- ten (autobiographies, correspondence), painted (self-portraits), or photographic data. On the basis of the highly fruitful gender perspective, this article seeks to present and interpret the numerous photographs of the well-known Greek painter Thaleia Flora- Caravia. These photographic recordings, taken almost exclusively from the painter’s unpublished personal archive, are inextricably linked to the artist’s self-portraits. This kind of cross-examination allows the reader to become familiar with the mosaic of roles and identities that constitutes the subjectivity of female artists in Greece in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. KEYWORDS: autobiography, female artist, modern Greek art, photography, self-portrait p Introduction No opening words could be more appropriate to introduce a study on twentieth- century artist representation than the verses of Rainer Maria Rilke on the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker: So free of curiosity your gaze had become, so unpossessive, of such true poverty, it no longer desired even you yourself; it wanted nothing: holy.1 aspasia Volume 13, 2019: 31–64 doi:10.3167/asp.2019.130105 32 DESPOINA TSOURGIANNI It is of key importance to note the way in which this emblematic poet of modernity perceives the ideal depiction of oneself: as one being stripped of any vanity that leads to the beautifi cation of physical characteristics.

  • Severiano Fogacci's Music-Related Activities During His Exile in Corfu
    Kostas Kardamis Ionian University Un Italiano in Corcira: Severiano Fogacci’s music-related activities during his exile in Corfu (1831-1846)* Some historical background Severiano Fogacci, the main subject of this essay, lived in an era of liberal movements and social upheaval in the Italian peninsula and Europe in general. He can be considered a typical member of the post-napoleonic Italian generation, since he was born in 1803.1 His birthplace, Ancona, then belonged to the Papal States and he therefore was brought up in an environment, which was rather conservative. Moreover, his family did not belong among the privileged of that city. Severiano lost his father, Giovanni, when he was very young and this led to his entry to the local seminario, where he began his studies. After five years there he continued his education in the public high school of Ancona, during a period full of political changes. Fogacci early demonstrated a passion for Latin and Italian literature, as well as a desire to become familiar with the aesthetic trends then developing. His political orientation in an era of social and political upheaval was becoming clearer at this time as well: by 1824 he had established connections with the carbonari, as he did not consider the papal administration successful in managing the new post-restoration conditions in the Italian peninsula. Thus Fogacci became a fervent patriot and supporter of Italian independence. In 1826 Fogacci moved to Bologna, where he worked as a secretary for his uncle and soon Fogacci became the commander of the city’s division.

Can we discern similar patterns in politics and institutional change? I will attempt a comparative sketch of the political institutions and ideologies in Greece during the periods 1821/1831 to 1910 and 1940/1949 to 2015.

  • Deree College Syllabus For: at 3017 Modern Greek Art
    DEREE COLLEGE SYLLABUS FOR: AT 3017 MODERN GREEK ART US CREDITS: 3/0/3 (Updated Spring 2018) PREREQUISITES: NONE CATALOG Modern Greek art from the formation of the Greek state in the nineteenth century DESCRIPTION: to the present. Focus on the historical/political/social events that determined the developments of art in conjunction with the creation of modern Greek identity RATIONALE: Art in Greece in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is characterized by a unique paradox. While a necessary means for the creation of a Greek identity, it was nourished by foreign traditions. Because of the lack of a school of Fine Arts, the first Greek artists studied in Europe. Munich was the first popular destination because of the Bavarian origin of the first king of Greece These are the two parameters that define Modern Greek art: the country’s socio-political situation and the artistic interaction with Europe. The course is of fundamental importance for art history students who are planning to be professionally engaged in Greece, but also for all students who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of modern Greek reality. It provides a unique opportunity to appreciate original works of art in museums, galleries and the city itself. LEARNING OUTCOMES: As a result of taking this course, the student should be able to: 1. Obtain systematic knowledge of the art works in terms of identification, production, and function. 2. Develop the skills of formal and iconographic analysis through the comparison/contrast of art works. 3. Situate and assess artistic production within its social, political and economic context.
