Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 Ó Copyright by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 by Joanna Marie Fiduccia Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor George Thomas Baker, Chair This dissertation presents the first extended analysis of Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture between 1935 and 1945. In 1935, Giacometti renounced his abstract Surrealist objects and began producing portrait busts and miniature figures, many no larger than an almond. Although they are conventionally dismissed as symptoms of a personal crisis, these works unfold a series of significant interventions into the conventions of figurative sculpture whose consequences persisted in Giacometti’s iconic postwar work. Those interventions — disrupting the harmonious relationship of surface to interior, the stable scale relations between the work and its viewer, and the unity and integrity of the sculptural body — developed from Giacometti’s Surrealist experiments in which the production of a form paradoxically entailed its aggressive unmaking. By thus bridging Giacometti’s pre- and postwar oeuvres, this decade-long interval merges two ii distinct accounts of twentieth-century sculpture, each of which claims its own version of Giacometti: a Surrealist artist probing sculpture’s ambivalent relationship to the everyday object, and an Existentialist sculptor invested in phenomenological experience. This project theorizes Giacometti’s artistic crisis as the collision of these two models, concentrated in his modest portrait busts and tiny figures.

PRESS RELEASE. For Immediate Release: September 17, 2020 Contact: Paula Hornbostel | Director, Lachaise Foundation [email protected] | (212) 605-0380 Gaston Lachaise Sculpture, Floating Woman, 1927, to be Installed in Hunter’s Point South Park On Thursday, September 24 at 3pm The Lachaise Foundation and the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy will be hosting a brief, socially distant unveiling ceremony, with short dance performance by local dance company Karesia Batan | The Physical Plant to celebrate the addition of Floating Woman in Hunter’s Point South Park. Members of the press are invited to attend. Event will occur by the sculpture, near the intersection of 51st Ave. and Center Blvd. Follow by Live- stream: @Paula_Hornbostel_LachaiseFoundation Long Island City, NY – Hunters Point Parks Conservancy and the Lachaise Foundation are thrilled to announce the temporary installation of Gaston Lachaise’s Floating Woman (Floating Figure) in Hunter’s Point South Park. The work is one of Lachaise’s best-known, monumental works dating from the late twenties. The buoyant, expansive figure represents a timeless earth goddess, one Lachaise knew and sought to capture throughout his career. This vision was inspired by his wife, who was his muse and model, Isabel, that “majestic woman” who walked by him once by the Bank of the Seine. This work is a tribute to the power of all women, to ‘Woman,’ as the artist referred to his wife, with a capital W. Gaston Lachaise devoted himself to the human form, producing a succession of powerfully conceived nude figures in stone and bronze that reinvigorated the sculptural traditions of Auguste Rodin and Aristide Maillol.

Dina Vierny—A Life of Art and Resistance
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rosenberg & Co. Opens Exhibition DINA VIERNY—A LIFE OF ART AND RESISTANCE September 27 – December 18, 2021 Rosenberg & Co. is pleased to present Dina Vierny: A Life of Art and Resistance, a long-overdue exhibition celebrating the influential role of Dina Vierny (1919– 2009) as an art dealer, museum founder, political activist, and artist’s model. Tracing the very veins of midcentury conflict, Dina Vierny’s life and politics—from her participation in the Front Populaire, to her work with Varian Fry and the French Resistance, to her open subversion of the USSR— are rivaled only by her role within the history of art. Dina Vierny in front of Maillol’s painting Dina à la robe rouge (1940) during the Galerie And yet, Vierny is primarily known as the model and “muse” of the famed Dina Vierny’s inaugural exhibition, 1947. sculptor Aristide Maillol. Feminist art historians have done inestimable work to Photograph by Gaston Karquel. address the gendered disparity in the attention accorded to female artists, but for those women in the arts who were not artists—such as dealers and executors—few descriptors exist to ensure accurate representation. Focusing on the life of Vierny acknowledges the social nature of art history. Through a relational lens and historical research, Rosenberg & Co. seeks to reveal Vierny’s extensive impact upon midcentury art, and to resituate her work with Maillol as simply the beginning of her career. As a teenager, Vierny was a member of socialist youth organizations, sang in cabarets, and posed for photographer and singer Pierre Jamet, whom she met in the choir of the Association des Écrivains et Artistes Révolutionnaires.

The Head of Spring comes from Spring, a life-d standing figure that Maillol did around 1911 for the great Russian collector Ivan Morosov. Thanks to Maurice Denis, Morosov commissioned four figures from Maillol for the music room of his Moscow palace—Pomona, Summer, Flora, and Spring. The group was constituted of two pairs, each including a statue with flowers, a reference to spring, and another, a symbol of maturity. The four sculptures in bronze are currently held in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. For Maillol, "the four allegories symbolize the idea of youth."[1] At the 1910 Salon d'Automne, Maillol exhibited a plaster titled Torso of a Young Girl, Youth [2]; the position of the head, the handling of the hair, and the profile of that work are all similar to those of the Head of Spring.

Aristide Maillol
ARISTIDE MAILLOL: THE SCULPTOR, THE MAN AND HIS MUSE The eminent artist's last model, Dina Vierny, has dedicated herself to preserving and perpetuating the legacy of his life's work "You'll see," Dina Vierny had said in Paris in the Maillol Museum, which she had established with such perseverance and stocked with examples of a lifetime's range of the famed sculptor's work. "He's alive. He will be with us in Banyuls." Aristide Maillol died in 1944. It had taken Vierny, Maillol's last model, some 30 years, from when she first had the idea of the museum, to finally open its doors to the public in 1995. We were to fly down to Banyuls-sur-Mer in southern France, where Maillol was born and where he died. Banyuls, south of Perpignan, is only about nine miles--by the precipitous hairpin road that skirts the Mediterranean--from the Spanish border. The Alberes Mountains squeeze down toward the sea; just beyond them rises the massive Pyrenees range and wilderness. Maillol and Dina Vierny, here in 1944, knew each other for ten years. His It is a land once colonized by Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians. The model and muse, she posed for such native language is Catalan. Just across the border, Catalonia has works as the bronze 1941 study for become an autonomous region of Spain, famous for breeding poets, Harmony (left). painters and sculptors. When Aristide Bonaventure Jean Maillol, a Catalan peasant, was born there in 1861, Banyuls was a fishing village with some small holdings of grapes and olives and a steady trade in smuggling across the border.

Ville © Service Photographies, 1- Avant la visite Se familiariser avec un mouvement artistique La jeune fille de profil est une œuvre que Maillol a peinte vers l’âge de 30 ans, dans le style des Nabis. A la charnière des XIXe et XXe siècles, les artistes du groupe des Nabis (« prophètes » ou « inspirés de Dieu » en hébreu) font partie d’une avant-garde qui se situe aux origines de l’art moderne. Les Nabis ne cherchent pas à refléter dans leurs œuvres une réalité observée. Désireux d’intégrer l’art dans la vie quotidienne, ces peintres sont aussi des créateurs de céramiques, de vitraux, de meubles, d’affiches, de décors de théâtre... Ils sont d’ailleurs très liés aux mouvements littéraires et musicaux de leur temps. Durant une quinzaine d’années, entre 1888 et 1903, les Nabis vont constituer, grâce à leur esprit d’ouverture et à leur richesse d’inspiration, un mouvement particulièrement novateur. • Cherchez les noms de deux peintres et d’un sculpteur représentatifs de ce mouvement et sélectionnez une de leurs œuvres. 2- Pendant la visite Aristide Maillol, artiste peintre et sculpteur, naît à Banyuls-sur-mer en 1861 et décède en 1944. Il s’installe à Paris à l’âge de 20 ans. Grand admirateur de Paul Gauguin, il réalise des tapisseries et des peintures de style nabis, mais vers l’âge de 40 ans, des problèmes de vue l’obligent à abandonner la tapisserie. C’est alors qu’il se consacre à la sculpture.
