  • Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf
    ^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

Minneman 1 Ginger Minneman Final Project Essay MA in Humanities candidate Francis Poulenc and Surrealism I. Introduction While it is true that surrealism was first and foremost a literary movement with strong ties to the world of art, and not usually applied to musicians, I believe the composer Francis Poulenc was so strongly influenced by this movement, that he could be considered a surrealist, in the same way that Debussy is regarded as an impressionist and Schönberg an expressionist; especially given that the artistic movement in the other two cases is a loose fit at best and does not apply to the entirety of their output. In this essay, which served as the basis for my lecture recital, I will examine some of the basic ideals of surrealism and show how Francis Poulenc embodies and embraces surrealist ideals in his persona, his music, his choice of texts and his compositional methods, or lack thereof.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

  • Networking Surrealism in the USA. Agents, Artists and the Market
    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

  • VALERIO ADAMI Diario Del Lago
    VALERIO ADAMI Diario del lago a cura di Vera Agosti CITTA’ DI CANNOBIO PALAZZO PARASI La Città di Cannobio con la personale di Valerio Adami, “Diario del Lago”, prosegue il percorso delle mostre a Palazzo Parasi, confermando così la ferma intenzione di dare ampio spazio alla promozione culturale sotto le più varie forme. Le lodi molto lusinghiere che abbiamo ricevuto per il fatto di riuscire, pur essendo Cannobio una piccola realtà, a realizzare progetti di grande rilevanza culturale che hanno avuto eco all’interno dei luoghi frequentati da specialisti del settore dell’arte, ci spronano a continuare lungo il percorso intrapreso. Valerio Adami, maestro colto e raffinato dell’arte contemporanea mondiale, impreziosisce ulteriormente con la sua presenza questo nostro progetto. Da sempre consacrato alla figurazione, racconta “l’uomo sociale d’oggi”. Lui stesso spiega: “Dipingo in prosa ma qualche rima scappa via”. Attraverso il mezzo privilegiato della linea e usando colori piatti e antinaturalistici, l’artista crea composizioni movimentate su più piani, enigmatiche ed intriganti. Con il maestro Adami Cannobio intende offrire ai cittadini ed ai numerosi ospiti italiani e stranieri un’opportunità culturale di altissimo livello che si estenderà, attraverso il percorso lungo la naturale via del Lago, fino a Ghiffa, all’interno dello spazio espositivo del Brunitoio, dove si svolgerà una mostra di Grafiche dello stesso autore. Rivolgiamo i nostri sinceri ringraziamenti alla curatrice Vera Agosti, che con la grande passione che la contraddistingue, ha contribuito alla realizzazione del progetto; alla Galleria Tega di Milano che, credendo in questo importante impegno, ha messo a disposizione molte delle opere esposte.

  • Influence and Cannibalism in the Works of Blaise Cendrars and Oswald De Andrade
    Modernist Poetics between France and Brazil: Influence and Cannibalism in the Works of Blaise Cendrars and Oswald de Andrade Sarah Lazur Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 1 © 2019 Sarah Lazur All rights reserved 2 ABSTRACT Modernist Poetics between France and Brazil: Influence and Cannibalism in the Works of Blaise Cendrars and Oswald de Andrade Sarah Lazur This dissertation examines the collegial and collaborative relationship between the Swiss-French writer Blaise Cendrars and the Brazilian writer Oswald de Andrade in the 1920s as an exemplar of shifting literary influence in the international modernist moment and examines how each writer’s later accounts of the modernist period diminished the other’s influential role, in revisionist histories that shaped later scholarship. In analyzing a broad range of source texts, published poems, fiction and essays as well as personal correspondence and preparatory materials, I identify several areas of likely mutual influence or literary cannibalism that defied contemporaneous expectations for literary production from European cultural capitals or from the global south. I argue that these expectations are reinforced by historical circumstances, including political and economic crises and cultural nationalism, and by tracing the changes in the authors’ accounts, I give a fuller narrative that is lacking in studies approaching either of the authors in a monolingual context. 3 Table of Contents Abbreviations ii Acknowledgements iii Introduction 1 Chapter 1 – Foreign Paris 20 Chapter 2 – Primitivisms and Modernity 57 Chapter 3 – Collaboration and Cannibalism 83 Chapter 4 – Un vaste malentendu 121 Conclusion 166 Bibliography 170 i Abbreviations ABBC A Aventura Brasileira de Blaise Cendrars: Eulalio and Calil’s major anthology of articles, correspondence, essays, by all major participants in Brazilian modernism who interacted with Cendrars.

  • Valerio Adami
    VALERIO ADAMI Valerio Adami, La valle del petrolio, 1964, oil on canvas, 180 x 140 cm. Photo: Filippo Armellin, Courtesy: Fondazione Marconi, Milano July 1 – August 28, 2016 Opening: April 21, 2016, 7 p.m. Press conference: April 20, 2016, 10 a.m. The painter and illustrator Valerio Adami is widely regarded as an eminent representative of Italian Pop art. His exhibition in the Secession’s Grafisches Kabinett is the artist’s first solo show in Austria and showcases a series of paintings from his less well-known early oeuvre. Created before 1964, these works stand out for the particularly dynamic interplay between expressive abstraction and stylized figuration. Explosive discharges of energy are the dominant motif in the selected starkly simplified depictions. Adami’s pictorial spaces teem with bodies wrestling with each other and objects being blown to a thousand pieces, with energy fields, cosmic rays, fire, and dense clouds of smoke. Interspersed between them like quotations lifted from a cartoon are speech bubbles and onomatopoetic words signaling the pictures’ pop and bang. The characteristic features of Adami’s work from this time are the evolution of many of his forms out of the graphical gesture and the painterly structure he lends to different surfaces, probing the ostensible contradiction between individual emotional expression and a deadpan delivery devoid of subjective inflections with almost effortless ease. Starting in 1964, Valerio Adami’s visual language developed in a fundamentally new direction. The temperamental graphical hand that thrills in his earlier works recedes in favor of a new style defined by elemental and clearly contoured shapes and areas of flatly even paint.
