    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Dr. Kristin Schwain Dr. James Van Dyke Dr. Michael Yonan Dr. Alex Barker To Marsha Thompson and Maddox Thornton ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The difficulty of writing a dissertation was never far from anyone’s lips in graduate school. We all talked about the blood, sweat, and tears that went into each of our projects. What we also knew was the unrelenting support our loved ones showed us day in and day out. These acknowledgments are for those who made this work possible. This dissertation is a testament to perseverance and dedication. Yet, neither of those were possible without a few truly remarkable individuals. First, thank you to all my committee members: Dr. Alex Barker, Dr. Michael Yonan, and Dr. James Van Dyke. Your input and overall conversations about my project excited and pushed me to the end. Thank you Mary Bixby for giving me the “tough love” I needed to make sure I met my deadlines.

Dopo gli studi di Chimica e Filosofia all’università di Glasgow, nel 1883 si reca a Vienna per studiare l’héliogravure dal suo inventore Karl Klic. Di ritorno in Scozia, cerca di mettere a profitto le sue nuove conoscenze: nel 1890, cosciente dell’importanza dei suoi compatrioti Hill e Adamson, realizza una serie di fotografie a partire dai loro negativi calotipi. Interessato dall’aspetto artistico del mezzo fotografico, Annan diviene nel 1895 membro del Club Linked Ring di Londra. La sua opera è fortemente influenzata dall’estetica dei suoi amici della scuola impressionista di Glasgow, dall’arte giapponese così come da Velásquez e Whistler. Nel 1904, Stieglitz pubblica nella rivista Camera Work una selezione delle opere di Annan che diviene il primo presidente dell’International Society of Pictorial Photographers. Ha partecipato a tutte le esposizioni internazionali del movimento pittorialista fino al 1916, proseguendo ugualmente la sua carriera nello studio fotografico familiare. Cameron, Julia Margaret (Calcutta, 1815 - Ceylon, 1879) Nata in India, a Calcutta, da una famiglia agiata e colta, sposa il diplomatico Charles Hay Cameron nel 1838.

He first visited 291 in 1908 to see the Rodin exhibition and later served as an associate editor of Camera Work. His close connections with the Parisian art community helped facilitate several exhibitions including the 1911 Picasso show. Inspired by Stieglitz and others, he also learned how to photograph. Shortly before Haviland returned to France in 1915, Stieglitz wrote: “if 291 as it stands to-day means anything to any one it is because Paul B. Haviland at a critical time, then but a comparative stranger to me, felt the desire intensely enough to create an opportunity for me to work” (Stieglitz to Paul Haviland, 27 January 1915, private collection, copy in NGA files).

  • Pictorialism As Theory
    pictorial– Ism as theory Robin Kelsey Pictorialism as Theory The contours of the category picture are neither as obvious nor as firm as they may seem. Tracking them over time betrays subtle historical shifts, oppositions, and particularities of meaning. As America passed from the nineteenth century to the twentieth, the category took on special importance for those extolling the merits of photography. For some, it rationalized shoehorning the new technology as an art along- side painting, drawing, and engraving. For others, it was a means of hailing the radically new relationship that photography had wrought between viewing and being viewed. Although boosters of both kinds often used the term picture as though it had a settled meaning, their usage was actually predicated on exploiting its plasticity. As I argue in this essay, some fruitful deformations of the term deserve more attention than they have received. Understanding these deformations requires a brief return to the long history of picture and its kindred French term tableau. At critical junctures in the history of the Western tradition, the categories of picture and tableau have allowed writers to work across artistic boundaries to imagine new aesthetic paradigms. Two cases are especially germane to the present argument. Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) entitled his prodigious 1435 commentary on the art of painting De pictura. The standard translation of the title as On Painting is eminently Robert Macpherson, Hall of the Candelabra— defensible, but the move from the Latin pictura to the English painting Vatican (detail, see fig. 1). can obscure the work that Alberti had the Latin term perform.

  • Emerging Modernisms: American and European Art, 1900–1950 Bowdoin College Museum of Art
    Emerging Modernisms: American and European Art, 1900–1950 Bowdoin College Museum of Art June 29, 2019 through January 5, 2020 The arrival and adoption of new technologies in the first half of the twentieth century brought enormous changes to Europe and the United States. Technological innovations transformed individuals and their relationship to others and the world at large. They included electricity, the telephone, the airplane, and the X-ray. These breakthroughs were accompanied by social revolutions and political conflicts. And they prompted artists to develop new strategies to describe a world in rapid transformation and to articulate both the wonder and trepidation attending to these changes. Artists explored new idioms for describing the visible—and previously invisible—world, which included the use of photography for fine art, an emphasis on color and form, and the emergence of pictorial abstraction.

His teaching of colour at Yale led to the publication of his renowned trea- tise ‘Interaction of Color’ (1963), a book that was later translated into eight languages as one of the major tools of art teaching throughout the world. In it, Albers investigated the properties of colour...including the illusory ability of opaque colours to appear translucent and over- lapping, which he had begun to explore in 1950 in his best-known series of works, ‘Homage to the Square,’ on which he was occupied until his death. These were exhibited all over the world and were the basis of the first one-person show given to a living artist at The Met- ropolitan Museum of Art” (Dictionary of Art). A fine copy.

Elevated: Along the Fringes of 291 Fifth Avenue Tara Kohn, Lecturer, Department of Comparative Cultural Studies, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff Threshold People In 1910, the photographer Anne Brigman snapped a portrait of Alfred Stieglitz leaning against a burlap-covered wall of his gallery at 291 Fifth Avenue (fig. 1). His thick eyebrows brush against the wire frames of his glasses, and his graying, unruly tresses tumble toward his ears and cast shadows across his forehead. His elbows, hidden beneath the folds of his overcoat, bend outward as his fingertips curl inward. These are the same hands that, seven years later, framed a photograph of the noted West Indian scholar and historian Hodge Kirnon leaning against a doorframe (fig. 2). In the portrait, the dark skin of Kirnon’s fingertips trace the white fabric of his shirt, and he tugs at his suspenders in a subtle gesture toward the menial job he had taken to support his intellectual and cultural work: to lift viewers from the restless sidewalks of Midtown Manhattan to the attic-level artistic center.
