    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 These photographic recordings, taken almost exclusively from the painter’s unpublished personal archive, are inextricably linked to the artist’s self-portraits.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.

  • Deree College Syllabus For: at 3017 Modern Greek Art

    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.

Their very particular kind of intensely colorful, expressive paint- ing, using a dense formal idiom that was moving toward abstraction, was based on a unique spiritual approach that opened up completely new possibilities for expression, ranging in style from a height- ened realism to abstraction.

Read on; you’ll not be bored! The aim of this book is to provide an entertaining but well-found- ed introduction to the world of the artists’ group the Blue Rider, which ß ourished in German in the early years of the twentieth century. The Þ rst seven chapters lead readers through the exciting period from 1908 until the First World War and let them witness the birth of the group. The views of the artists are described as well as their often complicated personal relationships with each other. The most important works are introduced and their signiÞ cance examined. In the last chapter there is, literally, much to discover, including the places in Bavaria where the members of the Blue Rider left their traces. The museums where you can admire the works of Kandinsky & Co. will be described, as will, as far as is possible today, the locations where it all happened. Where did the artists live; where were their studios; and where was the famous salon of Marianne von Werefkin, in which the artists drank, smoked and spent long nights in animated discussion? My sincere thanks go to the great authority on the Blue Rider, Dr. Annegret Hoberg of the Lenbachhaus in Munich, who encour- aged me to embark on this project and to whom I am grateful for important advice.

  • Croatian Painting and the Munich Academy of Fine Arts

    zagreb – munich Croatian Painting and the Munich Academy of Fine Arts exhibition and international symposium 21st October – 6th December 2009 project organised by Institute of Art History and Art Pavilion in Zagreb 1. exhibition title: Zagreb - Munich. Croatian Painting and the Munich Academy of Fine Arts venue: Art Pavilion in Zagreb time: 21st October - 6th December 2009 information on the exhibition: Besides the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, the Munich Academy was an important destination for Croatian painters at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It was through the Munich Academy that the Croatian painting was pervaded by the well-known Piloty school of painting, followed by tone painting, plain-airism and the impact of French realism à la Leibl and Lindenschmit in the painting interpretations of Iso Kršnjavi, Ferdinand Quiquerez, Oton Iveković, Celestin Medović, Nikola Mašić and Menci Clement Crnčić. Symbolist and art nouveau influences were transmitted by Bela Čikoš Sesija, Robert Auer and Ljubo Babić. The Croatian history of art traditionally associates Munich with the notion of the so-called Munich Circle, which refers to education and the work of four Croatian painters, namely Josip Račić, Vladimir Becić, Miroslav Kraljević and Oskar Herman, who attended the Academy in the first decade of the 20th century and were often called the “Croatian School”. Though represented in smaller numbers than other European nations, Croatian painters were present and recognised in Munich. Medović, Mašić and Auer participated in exhibitions and received awards. Although the role of Munich in the development of Croatian painting has long since been recognised in the Croatian history of art, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Munich Academy, this important part of the Croatian historical and artistic heritage is to be revived and given the place it deserves in the multi-national community of the “Munich School”.

By 1878 he had already painted portraits of such public figures as King Ludwig I of Bavaria (1866), Richard Wagner (1872), and Emperor Franz-Joseph I (1873). In this article, I argue that the late 1870s (immediately after the artist settled in Munich, in 1876, to devote himself full-time to portraiture) constituted a period of reflection during which Lenbach rethought the concept of portraiture, reviewed his past practices, and created a new method of portrait painting that led to some of his most interesting works in this genre.
