A Show of Emotion
Issue No. 3/2018 A Show of Emotion Interview by Gill Crabbe, FNG Research As the Sinebrychoff Art Museum prepares to stage an exhibition on painting and the theatre, Gill Crabbe meets the show’s curator Laura Gutman, to discuss the research she carried out in order to bring this topic to life Meeting the independent curator Laura Gutman is like meeting a detective. As curator of several shows in Finland, where she moved from Paris 17 years ago, including the recent acclaimed ‘Air de Paris’ exhibition at Helsinki Art Museum (HAM), she has used her research skills and background studying art history under Guy Cogeval at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris in the 1990s to impressive effect in Finland. Not only has she been making intriguing connections between Finnish artists and their European counterparts, but also deepening understanding of European artworks in Finnish collections. It is a busy year for Gutman as she is now in the final stages of preparing a show on theatre and painting from the 17th to early 20th centuries titled ‘Moved to Tears: Staging Emotions’ at the Sinebrychoff Art Museum in Helsinki. The museum is an appropriate setting for such a subject as it is the house of the collector Paul Sinebrychoff, whose wife Fanny Grahn was herself an actress, and their rooms on the first floor are laid out almost as a series of theatrical sets, each reflecting a period from his collection. The theme of the Sinebrychoff exhibition which is held in the galleries on the ground floor, is also a subject close to Gutman’s heart, since at the Ecole du Louvre she studied the theoretical and philosophical background to painting and theatre ‘from David to Degas’.

Part 2: Socialist Iconography, 1848–1952 innehåll / contents Abstract: This is Part 2 of a two-part study which aims at preliminary conclusions re- garding the iconography of the international labour movement. Earlier research in the Förord / Editorial 3 fields of social history, art history and visual rhetorics has been consulted for this pur- pose. After 1848, emerging socialist parties and labour unions depended on republican Søren Kaspersen “Quale sit intus in his” – A Note about Abbot Suger's 9 iconography for their manifestation of collective identity. The republican virtues of Bronze Doors in Saint-Denis Liberty, Equality and Fraternity remained important, but Fraternity was gradually re- placed or merged with Unity and Solidarity. In a process akin to the identification of Anders Ödman the goddess of Liberty with a more common “Marianne”, the representation of Unity Östra Sallerups kyrka i Frosta härad, Skåne: 27 and manual work in socialist iconography became focused on images of individual kolonisation och kulturella kontakter male or female workers. In earlier prints and illustrations, these representations have Ragnhild M.

Luxury Low Countries
LUXURY LUXURY in the LOW LUXURY COUNTRIES the in in the e superflu, chose très nécessaire”, wrote Voltaire 1736 in COUNTRIES LOW LOW his poem Le mondain. Needless to say that luxury is much Lmore than merely materialised/solidified redundancy. Offering a first panoramic view on various manifestations of conspicuous material culture in a Netherlandish context from 1500 until the present, this study – rather than investigating self- COUNTRIES evident cases of luxury – aims to explore its boundaries and the different stages in which luxury is fabricated or sometimes only simulated. Thematically, the volume focuses on two major issues, i.e. collections and foodways as means of expression of prosperity and splendour, which will be discussed by an international group of scholars, emanating from disciplines such as archaeology, history, book and media studies, art history, linguistics, and historical (ed.)

Föglö Kyrka Från Medeltid Till Nutid
Heikki Hanka Kyrkokonstens och den visuella kulturens epoker FÖGLÖ KYRKA FRÅN MEDELTID TILL NUTID Föglö medeltida kyrka på Åland gör ett sakligt och okonstlat intryck på besökaren. Artikeln granskar med hjälp av källkritisk närläsning textmaterial och originalkäl- lor som berör kyrkan och dess föremål. Detta kunskapsunderlag, i kombination med observationer som gjorts på plats, öppnar för betydelser som ligger bakom kyrkans nuvarande utformning och ger också insyn i dess äldre historiska skeden. Den skenbara arkaismen döljer ett konsthistoriskt rikt landskap. Finska fornminnesföreningen, grundad år 1870, åtog sig uppdraget att vårda kulturarvet genom att organisera konsthistoriska expeditioner vars mål var att identifiera och dokumentera vårt lands konsthistoriskt betydelsefulla platser. Fram till år 1902 organiserades åtta fältexpeditioner varav den första på som- maren 1871 riktades till Åbo med omgivningar och Åland.1 I slutet av juli be- sökte en expedition bestående av åtta personer, ledd av Emil Nervander, även Föglö.2 Denna artikel är en hedersbetygelse till föreningens banbrytande insats för fornminnesforskningen i vårt land. Samtidigt får vi tacka föreningen för att den konsthistoriska forskningens första frön såddes och att studiet av kyrko- konst inleddes. Även om mycket har förändrats under de gångna 150 åren, så är de forskningsmetoder som expeditionerna skapade och använde fortfarande grundläggande verktyg i den konsthistoriska forskningen. Via observationer gjorda på plats och insamling av kunskapsskärvor från varierande källmaterial fortsätter den nutida forskaren i de konsthistoriska expeditionernas fortspår. Kyrkorna har, förutom agerat plats för religionsutövning, också varit en cen- tral del av det finska kulturarvet. Överföringen av kyrkans kulturarv till fram- tiden är utmanande. Både den evangelisk-lutherska och den ortodoxa kyrkan utreder för närvarande i sina strategier hur de bör förvalta kyrkans materi- ella och immateriella kulturarv3.

Why Art Cannot Be Taught
Why Art Cannot be Taught: A Handbook for Art Students James Elkins Teaching Art 2 1: Histories Table of Contents Introduction iii Chapter 1: Histories 1 Chapter 2: Conversations 61 Chapter 3: Theories -- Chapter 4: Critiques -- Chapter 5: Suggestions -- Chapter 6: Conclusions -- Index Teaching Art 3 1: Histories Introduction This little book is about the way studio art is taught. It’s a manual or survival guide, intended for people who are directly involved in college-level art instruction—both teachers and students—rather than educators, administrators, or theorists of various sorts. I have not shirked sources in philosophy, history, and art education, but I am mostly interested in providing ways for teachers and students to begin to make sense of the experience of learning art. The opening chapter is about the history of art schools. It is meant to show that what we think of as the ordinary arrangement of departments, courses, and subjects has not always existed. One danger of not knowing the history of art instruction, it seems to me, is that what happens in art classes begins to appear at timeless and natural. History allows us to begin to see the kinds of choices we have made for ourselves, and the particular biases and possibilities of our kinds of instruction. The second chapter, “Conversations,” is a collection of questions about contemporary art schools and art departments. It could have been titled “Questions Commonly Raised in Art Schools” or “Leading Issues in Art Instruction.” The topics include the following: What is the relation between the art department and other departments in a college? Is the intellectual isolation of art schools signiﬁcant? What should be included in the ﬁrst year program or the core curriculum for art students? What kinds of art cannot be learned in an art department? These questions recur in many settings.

Context and the Half-Life of Romanticism Dr Steven Adams
Context and the half-life of romanticism Dr Steven Adams University of Hertfordshire, UK <[email protected]> I Introduction In the first two decades of the nineteenth century, many middle-class art lovers and art critics worried about the state of the arts in France. Two related anxieties can be identified. On the one hand were concerns about romantic artists and critics' repeated assertion of art's transcendental nature, the idea that it defied prescription, exegesis and rational explanation; on the other hand, was the anxiety expressed by conservative art critics and the public at large about the absence of a clear and authoritative template by which to make judgements about the arts. In this paper, I want to suggest these anxieties are historically connected to the position we find ourselves in today when we also search for some kind of critical template to assess where knowledge and value might be located within the arts and ask how that value might be expressed within the context of academic research. The assertion that there is a link between the art of the early-nineteenth and the early- twenty-first centuries is not as strained as it might first appear. An examination of the genealogy of modernism clearly shows a continuity between the conditions under which art was made, written about and consumed in the early-nineteenth century and some of the ways in which it was made, valorised and consumed in the recent past. Both then and now, the arts were/are popularly thought to be incomprehensible to the un-initiated; they are considered largely the domain of bohemians, and have no obvious social utility.
